springsong

i would like to join in too and i would like to do the childs exchange exceptin my child is a doggie named franklin. do you think one of those little ones would like to exchange with franklin? he has very good taste and looooooooooooooove christmas and christmas presents. do we email you with our info melissa?
oh, ho ho ho ho i just loooooooooooooooove christmas and i adore ornaments. i've been collecting ornaments forever. i also have made a yearly ornament for about 20 years now. about 15 years ago i started making ornaments for family and friends. i now have to make 35 to 40 ornaments so i can give them to everyone on my list. i have a great idea for this year. my ideas have to be cute, interesting and fast. making 40 of the same ornament can get boring very quickly and also very time consuming. usually i make one and then i do production line. of course it depends on the ornament too. last year with 9/11 i did a red/white and blue theme. in glittery sparkles of course. i found the little chalk board ornaments at michaels, i had houses, snowmen,and chalkboards. i painted in the windows, doors, scarves, etc and the chalkboards became u.s.a. flags. they were great. other years i've painted plaster ornaments (a very ambitious year that was), kitchen wisks, i've decoupaged ornaments with flowers and gold paint, dipped pinecones in paint and gold glitter with ribbons, bows and bells. i've made angels with wreaths that had a hole to put a little white light through to light the wreath they held in there hands. oh so so many i can't recall them all, but every year it is so much fun to put these up. then i too have collected ornaments from our travels, my rosta santa from jamaica is a great favorite of mine.
so perhaps i'll have to make an extra one for my trader and well franklin will have to help me with another idea for his trader. :)
thanks you, merry christmas, feliz navidad, joyeux noel and.......

We will Draw names on November 2, and you'll have til Novemeber 30 to get them to your tradee.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... don't join unless you intend on participating... It puts me in a bad spot, and it makes your trader feel bad. IF you encounter an unexpected emergency, please let me know...

Home made are fine, just send something that YOU would like to receive yourself!

Melissa

debi_z I no longer have children at home but my dog "Bosco" would love to trade with Franklin!

Melissa, you have mail.

Melissa,
I would love to be involved with this exchange. I sent my address.

Nancy

Hey Melissa, I E'd you and also sent a question. Did you get mine?

Hi Melissa.........I e mailed you my addy. Did you get it?

I emailed ya, did you get it hon? Im having prob's lately with email grrrr..lmk

I'd love to get in on this ornament exchange!
And I just asked my Jr. Gardener, Samantha (6) if she'd like to participate and she said 'sure!'

I'll send you an email for both of us!

Thanks for setting this up,
~ Carole (and Sam)

How about giving our color scheme or theme we'll be having for tree decorating. Just thought it might help in making or choosing an ornament for the next person.

Melissa, you have mail. :)

"T" :)

I already have mine picked out theme or no theme. LOL Fiona is waiting beathlessly to see of she has a boy or a girl to send to.

Sledder, resend your mail. I didn't get it

It's officially resent. Did you receive it? I can send you another one from a different computer if necessary. No problem at all..

Got it!

Excellent. By the way, I have a cat named Skittles if anyone is interested in trading with him! :)

Awwwwww Sledder...Skittles is such a cute name!!!!

Melissa, did you receive my email? I sent it about a week ago.

Anna, I can't take full credit for the name. AngelSong had a kitty in PA's Forest that she just fell in love with and she named him Skittles. He stayed in the Forest and would visit us when we were there. So when I got my kitty it just felt right to call him that.

So, anyone want to have a kitty ornament trade? "T" :)

franklin and bosco are in this trade and there doggies, so far melissa hasn't said no and there are children who would like to trade with us. if not we can do our own trade, what say you melissa?
debi

BOING to the top!

Melissa, you have mail. :)

Bump bump

The cutoff is approaching, get your names in folks.

Melissa, should I have received anything from you yet or not? I didn't want to bug you, because I can only imagine how much work something like this would be.

Just let me know if I need to do anything else.

And thanks again ; )
~ Carole

Okay, count me in, too, please :)

OH! I want to do it but I am new and haven"t been proven yet.See you next year.

ZenZinnia - I think you'll be fine. I don't have any trades or co-ops under my belt, so by that criteria, I couldn't participate, either. Not everyone participates in those activities. I think she meant participants can't be in bad standing. Melissa, could you explain the good-standing thing a little further, please?

Gardenwife, I was wondering the same thing myself about ZenZinnia! I am glad you asked!

GW is exactly correct, You're more than welcome to participate ZenZenia.

If you've said you wanted to participate, but haven't sent me your address yet, please do so ASAP. I'll be a confused puppy tomorrow if I have to request addresses from a bunch of people, PLEASE make sure I have it.

Thanks, Melissa! You're a gem. :)

Melissa, do you need my address still or do you already have it? Thx :)

You better send it again Morph, to make sure

Melissa, I was in Felicity Wed night and Thurs am for a funeral. Again, I was thinking of you. I really need to put your phone number on my cell phone!

oh i'm getting excited. i just looooooooooove christmas and i looooooooooooove secret santa's and ornament exchanges. ho ho ho merry christmas

Sent you my addy for good measure :)

Gardenwife, thanks, I did think I needed to have participated in some trades or such in order to join in the ornament ex. I'll send my address to Melissa.

Wed night we were home, Thursday during the day we weren't...YES you do need to put my number on your phone!
