OT: Alright girls, I need your help!

We only have 1 Hallmark store and I checked it and Books-A-Million the other day. I went to Walgreens today because they have Hallmark ornaments, but they only had a Hannah Montana one and a car one.

What you could do for this year is the two of you make an ornament together. I make an ornament for DS every year. I used to always cross stitch him one, but last year and this year I used my Cricut. This year I used a plain wood circle ornament from JoAnn's, painted it and then cut little tiny pieces from Life's a Beach and made a beach scene. This represented his scout summer trip to SeaBase in the Keys in July.

That's a great idea Stephanie. We made 3 dozen of the glitter ornaments this year. Maybe I'll pull a favorite out and see if we can get the year on one of them. That will be our special one.

On a side note...She didn't even notice it wasn't there. She had an incredible Christmas (as always). We are very lucky to have very generous families.

I will keep looking though. My AR side will not let me rest if her "collection" is not complete. ;)
 
I checked in 3 Hallmark stores today in NJ and PA and didn't see it. I'm sorry you haven't found it yet. Don't give up tho. I actually had a year where I could only find 1 daughter ornament when I needed 2 (had one for one of my daughters and had ornaments for the boys ... wonder if I would have started this son/daughter ornament every year if I knew I was going to have 5 kids?), one of my coworkers found a store that still had the display up and they sold it to her (every year one of my kids asks why that ornament doesn't have a Hallmark box. I've learned to grab those ornaments early in the season now.
 
I would have bought a display one if one had been available! I'm still hopeful that I can get one for a reasonable price on eBay later in January/February.

I do appreciate so much that everyone has been looking for it. What a story it will (would) make if one of you does find it!
 

I wish I had seen this post earlier this week. I saw the ornament at one of our local hallmarks. I plan on going to one tomorrow. I will check and see if they have one. The hallmarks cut back on ordering as many ornaments this year. They ran out early on a lot of them!
