He does look more like a penguin than an owl.

lynnie 11-22-2013 11:53 AM

Nelco 11-22-2013 12:11 PM

Hello, I am a bad girl, oops, bad woman, I rec'd my ornaments a week or more ago and I am just posting it now. Carolyn and Dotti, please forgive me. I love them all. And of course, I am not sure which came from who. My face is sooo so red. Anyway, check my awesome ornaments out!!!

cherrio 11-22-2013 07:41 PM

after all the "pasty fake snow" that the bulbs are painted with and then they get a face and a hat they don't fit back in the sleeve but, perhaps bubble wrap would be enough. I am finishing a batch and will mail them off after Thanksgiving to my girls for the trial. wish me luck!

Hmm..on shipping light bulb ornys, how about putting them back in the "sleeve box" they came in, then wrapping bubble wrap or newsprint around that..and make sure they are snug in the middle of the box you use, with extra padding all around..I am a "pad it, tape it gal" obsessively so..:o

kiffie2413 11-23-2013 09:32 PM

Lynnie, it would be great if we lived closer...or even close to each other! I'm not sure the world could take it...lol..but I am sure it would be fun times!!

Hi Caroline! I have been MIA for a bit and I must apologize for not letting you know that I received your wonderful ornament and package around about Tuesday of this week. I will be a bit late for the deadline with yours, but it is on it's way!!!!! hope you get it soon. I have a schedule from H--l right now and too much has landed on my plate. I am hoping to get some relief after Christmas. I love love love the ornament and if I could find my camera, I would take a picture. I saved everything to photograph except the chocolate that my DS claimed. lol

well, I am going to be 50 in 2014 and having lost my mother when she was only 49 and my wonderful brother when he was 43 I have learned that every day is special and should be lived to the fullest.

Now that said, I am worried that the packages I sent haven't arrived yet. I posted to my DD who lives in Texas on the same day and she received her chocolate stash days ago!!!!!!

Also, sadly I still haven't received any ornies yet.... But I understand that they are probably coming from across the pond so maybe I will have to be patient for a little longer!

hugs

Caroline

oooh so sorry, for the pin cushion swap. silly me, I was on it b4 and talking about the sign up and got things mixed up. it's the pin cushion sign up tomorrow. please, all, forgive me. I didn't have any chocolate yet today.

cherrio 11-25-2013 12:21 PM

ok, let' talk about the elephant in the room. mail by nov 5th. . . I think if I was going to be terribly late with the task I would contact the partner and at least let them know. just like an apt or date you were running late for. ok,
miss manners backing out of the room now

cherrio 11-25-2013 02:18 PM

I have already gotten 2 emails from the above post. go figure. sorry. I DO realize that there are bigger problems in the world than an ornament. I agree. I stand corrected, have a wonderful turkey day everybody. peace out

kiffie2413 11-25-2013 11:54 PM

Great pkg with that lil high heel Victorian boot!

cherrio 11-30-2013 05:58 PM

not even comments anymore. guess that means everybody got their swap? I didn't ever get the 2nd. Am I the only one? again?

lawsonmugs 12-01-2013 08:24 AM

Cherrio,if you still haven't received a ornament PM me and I will make you one.I hate to see anyone not get theirs. I know there are more important things in this world than an ornament,but I still would like to send one. I have missed out in the past with other swaps and it really can make you feel crappy. I really don't mind sending one. hugs Mary

lynnie 12-01-2013 04:45 PM

cheerio, people think they can come and play and just leave. well boohoo hoo. flat leavers!!!!!

cherrio 12-02-2013 06:55 AM

Lawsonmugs, thanks but I will survive. I sent Brenda a PM several days ago. Told her I did not want my partner to think I just didn't say thank you. no response. but I'll move on. turkey day is past, time to get to the post office. Grandkids are waiting on a pkg from me. cool Yule to all as Lynnie said

lawsonmugs 12-02-2013 09:28 AM

If your sure you don't want one. Happy Holidays anyway to everyone. Mary

Please send your address to me I have one made I can send. I know to how it is and you feel crappy after someone was suppose to commit . I'm sorry you didn't get your other one.

cherrio 12-09-2013 08:12 PM

ladies, I love that each of you have offered to send me an ornament! It is so not necessary. I am over it, not upset. I was miffed but, no more. I am busy finishing sewing etc and you all just enjoy your holidays. I am gong to Virginia to see the grandsons for Christmas!! So I have cookie dough to make and presents to wrap. Grandma is giddy! I haven't seen them in months. Thanks girls
