Sowal Ornament Exchange 2008

[InletBchDweller]

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.

It should be tommorow. Lets just say I waited too late and I am not used to "big city" post offices. I drove to 4 before I even found one that had less than 15 people in line. Holy Cow! Paula I did take pics in case you did not have a camera!!

I am so lucky! Drunkenartist gifted me with these beautiful wineglasses and lots of candy and even coffee!! Santa has indeed come early this year. I love my "ornament" DA!! Thank you! <and your card was a hoot!>

I am so glad I delivered them in person. ---Not just because they are so fragile, but more importantly-

I sooooooooooooo enjoyed meeting you,
-and Mr. Critter too!

Have a nice red wine with the chocolates, then have the chocolate coffee in the morning...does life get any better than that? I think not...

In fact, I'm fixin' to have a glass or three of red wine now with chocolates....

MEANWHILE,

I got home from work and errands at 9:30 and it has taken me over an hour to read the last 5 or so pages of this thread to get caught up. I haven't even opened my package yet! I'm going to open it now and try to get some pics posted.

I can't wait to see what's in the box!​

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
I forgot to charge my batteries after flying back from San Antonio last week and my camera is as dead as can be!

But here is what I have so far: from ALLIFUNN!!!
-A beautiful ornament made of shells and beads wired together, lovingly.
-Bar napkins covered with rows of cocktails and the statement "Life's uncertain. Drink now." Truer words were never spoken. My motto!
-A box of Belgian Chocolate Seashells!
-A gorgeous Wine bottle topper- a green glass ball encrusted with diamonds-simply gorgeous!
So far.....

But wait, there's more...
I see driftwood, shells and string in bubble wrap.
Could this be one of those mobile thingies
mentioned earlier?.....
OMG! How fun is this? That's exactly what it is!
How did you know that I collect mobiles and windchimes? This is sooo cool!

Thank you Allifunn!​

And thank YOU OceanLover for another successful ornament exchange!

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.

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.

So glad you liked them. I googled you to get more info since we have never met and found a funn website with restaurant review! Saw you liked to travel and the album was an unexpected find. They look grayt displayed on the paper!
