Ok folks, all the participants have sent me their particulars and we're ready to go! The rules are simple- there are no rules! Ornaments can be storebought or handmade, used or new, expensive or cheap. Here's a link for some ideas, compliments of Sea! Really, the only rule is to send an ornament to everyone on the list. Simple, huh? Some people gave me a few preferences, but most are open to just seeing what they're going to get. So, without further ado, here you go!

This blog is only open to the people listed here, and I think it goes without saying that we all agree to not pass on addresses. And, if anything is wrong above, please correct it in the comments. I hope I copied everything right!
Ok, have fun! I can't wait to send my first ones and am looking forward to seeing what all comes here, too!
This is great!! Thanks Janeen!!
ReplyDeleteYay! No problem- can you tell I'm excited?
ReplyDeletepssst...Janet....I'm gonna send you a 3' wiccan ornament...HAHAHA.
ReplyDeleteI am too Janeen...I wish Dai had participated.
ReplyDeleteSo if there is no preference, just get them anything right?
ReplyDeleteUp to you Bill- I think that is the fun part... what are we going to get.... and will they like what we send?
ReplyDeleteWe could send him one anyway. He'd probably get it about March!
ReplyDeleteHa! That's the truth.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should... I'll put together something for him, too. Kumar and the girls- did you include anyone else last time?
ReplyDeleteGreat! Now I just need to get motivated and finish painting them. I think the hardest part for me is going to be figuring out inexpensive containers to mail in that will keep the ornaments from getting crushed.
ReplyDeleteOh this is fun! festive! I can use small too as far as an ornament goes!
ReplyDeleteAll Im gonna do is go to the ups store and get those little boxes to ship em in. Not only will they arrive safe, but there is a storage box for packing it away after the holidays...see, always thinking outside the box here, or is that inside the box??????
ReplyDeleteGood idea, I'll have to see if there's an ups store near me. Do you ship them by ups too or just use their boxes? That probably seems like a dumb question but I've never shipped anything by ups or fed-ex, only by the good ol' US postal service.
ReplyDeleteHm, thinking inside or outside of the box? Not sure which that would be. lol
I think I am going to just stick each of them in a dirty sock and stuff it into a wal-mart sack and send it to y'all. Who needs ups, fedex,abf,any of them guys. With snail mail, y'all should get them by Easter at least.
ReplyDeleteI am joking in case y'all are wondering. LOL
The UPS store here also ships via snail mail...so I probably will use that.
ReplyDeleteI'd check it out good Sue- our local UPS store is way more expensive than the USPS. Especially if they pack it for you. Sometimes the priority mail boxes at the post office are free.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janeen, I'll check at the post office first. I could take an ornament over there and ask them about it. Better to find out now instead of waiting until the last minute (like I usually do lol).
ReplyDeleteCould you use your wife's socks instead? I could use some extra socks. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll check on your idea and Janeen's and go with the cheapest one,
ReplyDeleteI will try to sneak some of her socks out. Wait, you would just be getting one sock. How much good with that do you?
ReplyDeleteGuess you'll have to save the other one for next year's ornament exchange. lol
ReplyDeleteI guess if I could sneak out a complete pair of socks for you. And double wrap your ornament for you.
ReplyDeleteHahaha You do know I was just kidding? Don't want you to end up in the proverbial doghouse. lol
ReplyDeleteI am a husband, don't you know that is where most of us stay most of the time. LOL
ReplyDeleteHahahaha Yeah, you do have a point there. lol
ReplyDeleteI might be a man, but, that don't mean I am dumb. LOL
ReplyDeleteI got my first ornament today and was like WTH...I didn't know we had started OR had gotten addresses yet, so I had to come look at this! I am SO out of the loop with checking in on everyone!!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to get shopping! I love ornaments!
LOL awww just seeing this lol You witch you lol!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL awww just seeing this lol You witch you lol!!!
ReplyDeleteIll be getting my peoples Ornaments next weel for sure!
ReplyDeleteSolved the question of how to mail mine, I bought some flatter ornaments made out of metal that I can paint on and they'll fit nicely in padded mailing envelopes. Probably won't be mailing early but you'll all get them by Christmas (hopefully lol).
ReplyDeleteYou sound like me, Sue... I don't know when you'll get one from me, but you'll get one!
ReplyDeleteI am kind of looking around Valentine's Day. Is that okay with all?
ReplyDeleteHahaha Guess I'll hold off on painting yours until last. Maybe I should paint an Easter Bunny on yours and hope it gets to you by Easter. lol
ReplyDeleteWorks for me.
ReplyDeleteI will ask the wife and get her to do some painting on them or something like that.
You don't have to paint or decorate them, that's just a matter of personal preference.
ReplyDeleteOk I sent out yalls Ornaments today! I sure hope everyones happy with what I got you. Tried to get some ok good looking things. This has been fun! If you think its a bit early wait a tad and then open! The pkgs will say from Janet McDonald Houston TX. Enjoy and Happy Seasons Greetings!!
ReplyDeleteI've all ready received 2 of mine and it IS fun getting them!
ReplyDeleteI have mine all bought and ready to go....just have to buy the packaging for them!
I've sent part of mine... the rest are on the way soon!
ReplyDeleteCrap, I've had a backache all weekend and haven't walked down to my mailbox since Thursday. I'm late mailing out. I have the ornaments but they're very plain looking because I planned on painting on them. I'll keep eating aspirins and keep ice on my back so I can get them finished. I've already bought the padded envelopes to mail them in.
ReplyDeleteAwww I hope youll be feeling better!
ReplyDeletea hug for you here!
Sue, get you to feeling better first. I think I speak for everyone when I say we don't care if you're late- we just want you to feel better!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet, and I am some now. The ice pack I've been putting on my lower back has really helped. I caught up on doing my laundry yesterday and burned some CDs that I'm giving as Christmas gifts, and then I sat and organized the acrylic paints, sealers etc that I'm using to decorate the ornaments.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hug, hugs back at cha!
Thanks Janeen! My lower back is feeling better and I'm getting caught up on stuff so I should get the ornaments painted and mailed out on time. I'm not painting on the round ones I was going to use, I bought flatter ones that are easier to paint on and seal, and easier to mail because I can use cushioned mailing envelopes. The ornaments themselves are metal so hopefully the postal service won't figure out a way to break them. lol
ReplyDeleteOh RATZ! I should have checked back sooner, but I am on it now! I didn't hear anything from anyone, so I figured it might be "off". I will get it together, and sorry. Thanks Janet, I got yours last night when I got home! ZXXZZX
ReplyDeleteOh Great! Im posting all of them together when I get all of mine! :)
ReplyDeleteI do believe I have recieved ornaments from everyone. At least there hasnt been anything new show up in the mail.
ReplyDeleteOkay folks, I finally got the ornaments put on my smallest tree today. I know, I'm a little late decorating but I just wasn't up to it before what with my back hurting, being in a bah humbug mood, etc...lol I've posted photos of them in an album on my site if you'd like to see. Happy New Year! xoxoxoxz
ReplyDeleteI would like to THANK EVERYONE for their really Lovely ornaments!!! I LOVED them all!!! So many huggs to you ALL!!! XOXOXOXOXOX
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad everyone had fun! I got some wonderful ornaments that I'll treasure for years to come. I hope you're all ready to do this next year!
