Beach Runner, Mr. BR, Mrs. Beach Bimmer and I all had a GR8 time painting together for each of our special SoWal folks on Saturday. I think BR wore herself out with all the paint she sent flyin' on those beautiful ornaments!

Love 'em all, especially that Ohio State Buckeye, as my Dad played football for Woody Hayes there years ago...

She did an amazing job on the block "O" and buckeye leaf.Loved 'em all!!!

Glad you liked it! It was funn to make and I must say that I was pretty proud of myself. Next year, everyone in my family is going to get one! I'd like to have a tree decorated only in shell ornaments someday. I heard from my Christmas elf that my ornament will be here soon. My ornament from last year is on the mantle hanging from a garland and my ornament from 2 years go is on the tree.

I like the all shell ornament idea...especially for a sowal christmas..which we are having this year!

I guess I should give a disclaimer before my recipient gets here and opens the gift. I had already mostly finished it before the questionaire went around. In that respect, I didn't make something with things tied to the recipient. I made something that would make her laugh and remember who it came from. All I'm gonna say is one look, and any of you would know who it came from!

Call it a rookie mistake!

Call it what you want, I LOVE it! It certainly made me laugh when I took it out of the box.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's a SINGIN' Chicken!

Just got back from the concert, opened my package, and took pics. Oh, JUL! Love the frame ornament with the tar from my majorly-needs-updating restaurant website. Great PhotoShop skillz, gull. Love the gator you added. And then the photo album with that tar and the SoWal logo! Absolutely love them. Thank you SO much.

Hee, hee...somebody I know has a super-top-secret picture of what's in that bubble wrap...

;-)

Whew!!! BR made me work for it but it was so absolutely worth it and not a crack in any of them...they are beautiful and perfect.

She was so sweet and sent me earrings a day earlier to let me know more was on the way.

Check them out...5 gorgeous hand painted ornaments from Fired Up! All signed and dated. Look at the back of the buckeye ornament. I heart you BR! Thank you...I'm so happy I drew your name for me. It may not have been a surprise but you surprised me with another one of your many talents.

Big D did the buckeye ornament, but he wouldn't give himself the credit. M/M Beach Bimmer and we didn't know what a buckeye was until Beach Bimmer googled it. I thought it was an animal of some sort. As you know, it's a tree whose leaves look sort of like marijuana in the opinion of the four of us. I did the other four. We had a fun ornament party with the Bimmers.

Oh, the earrings are from the "Alice to the Moon" show on Saturday. Cheri helped me with those, and I thought the red color worked for Christmas and for Buckeyes.

Glad you liked them.
