i have had a couple of pm requests of doing the ornament exchange again this year.

last year we did the exchange and had 17 homies participate with it.
i did the exchange of names right around thanksgiving time.

the rules were the cost of the ornament was $5 and shipping is not included in that $5 cost to the sender.

think about if you want to do an exchange for this december.
we set $5 as the limit that is spent on the exchange. this way it would be more fun than an expense.

we did the shipping of the ornaments in mid december so all could put it on their trees.
if you don't do christmas trees, we can elaborate and do sometype of knick knack for you if you want to join in.

some homies sent an ornament that represented their region where they live.
marci, this is for you. no green bay packers for me. i'm a Bear fan.....

others sent an ornament based on the color of what the recipient liked best.

i know i sent out grinch ornaments as the homie i had loved universal.

all is done in secret.
i get the names of the people. they email me their home address or work if that is where they want their exchange sent to.

all i do is give out the names and address of only the person you send the ornament to.
then i destroy the listings.

all i kept from last year's exchange is who had whom so no repeats this year.

i'll bring this up later before tday so think if you want to do an exchange.

i thought an ornament exchange would be the cheapest one that would be fun.

i have done Christmas stocking exchanges on dis threads but that gets too expensive and sometimes the stocking costs more than what you put into it.

to answer the question about the ornament change, the above was posted nov 7th on page 199 of this thread.

only people have made a comment on the thread they are interested in it.
so far rose and marci have posted they are interested.

if a few more want to do it, i'll set it up.

it won't work with just 2 participating.
they would know who had their names then....

i have been gone most of the day.
got home at 4:45 and went straight to the computer.



will be back later.....

[marciemi]

Huh! 30 degrees here this morning so I guess it's warmer than Florida! Although yesterday morning was 12, so maybe not!

3,000 has a nice ring to it, congrats!

ps don't lick any metal posts

do people who live in FLA have winter coats?

it's 12 degrees here, supposed to warm up past the freezing point today...least the sun has decided to make an appearance. Middle DS bought tix to Steeler's game tomorrow night...i told him he's nutz, not enough layers in the world to keep him warm

rock salt in short supply @ home stores, evidently; suppliers have decided to jack the price of it to & so early in the season is this a local issue or is it MIAa everywhere?

have a good one all

 

[ky07]

Good morning homies

Mom is then going to get some on -line shopping done because getting to the stores and not finding what I want is getting annoying .
My Katie wants UGGS and well it is making me crazy . Poor kid has middle child issues and only wants one thing I can't seem to find. I may break down and pay full price through UGG's site . Other then that most of the kids stuff is pretty easy . Lots of clothing for teens and toys for my DS.

I searched high and low last year for a cheaper price on Uggs for my daughter. Overland dot com and the Ugg website had the best selection. Prices were the same everywhere, some places had free shipping. She's worn them constantly for almost a year now and they have held up wonderfully!
