Spring Easter Exchange

[Ocean Lover]

Spring Easter Eggstravaganza



PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE

I think we can leave this open to make whatever we want. A handmade card, painted egg, jewelry, crown, or bonnet with an Easter or Spring theme. Once you get your name, you may be inspired by that particular person. Remember, keep it simple. :biggrin:

I will ask that everyone respond to my email initially rather than this thread. It's too easy to miss things in the thread. I did last time even though I thought I read everything very carefully. When I have it in my email I have a history to look back on and check and double check.

DETAILS:

Easter Party Exchange Day- March 27
Mail by date: March 19
Sign up deadline: This Friday, March 2


PLEASE email OLbunnyfunn@aol.com by this Friday to join the exchange.

Oh whew. I don't have to blow eggs.:blink:

Yes. Ugh!

[Kimmifunn]

Seeing that my valentine went unnoticed, I will choose to not particpate.

K "still not over it" funn.

[lindatat]

Oh whew. I don't have to blow eggs.:blink:

I don't think there'd be anything left of a real eggshell after the USPS got their hands on it!

[audie]

Yes. Ugh!

my mom tried these one year, i will never forget the entire end of the egg blowing out and that yuck going everywhere.:rofl: that project was dumped to say the least...

Oh Kimmi, I chose not to do the Valentine exchange and missed out on all the funn. Give it another shot, ok? It just wouldn't be the same without you!

[Ocean Lover]

Today is the last day to sign up!!!!!!!

Email me at OLbunnyfunn@aol.com to do so.

[Ocean Lover]

I hope everyone signed up that wanted to because now it's too late. :lol:

I drew the names and emailed them to everyone. If you did not get an email, please let me know asap. I just sent the names and will get the addresses to you by early next week. That part takes time and I have a very busy weekend ahead.

Don't forget that this is supposed to be funn and not stressful. A simple homemade card would suffice. Have a good weekend peeps and happy crafting!

[Paula]

Well, I missed this one, but it's OK. I was on vacation last week in SoWal (loved it, loved it, loved it) and didn't spend much time at all on the Internet (I'm in Internet rehab). And before that I was finishing up frantically at work. So, if you get anyone else that desperately needs an Easter Card buddy, OL, just let me know. Otherwise, I'll wait until the next holiday! And thanks, OL, for doing these exchanges. They are grayt.

[InletBchDweller]

I got mine and I cant wait!!!:clap_1: :clap_1:

I am sooooo stoooopid! :doh: :doh: :doh:

I just figured out what that picture was all about in your signature OL! Duh!:funn:

I've already joined her campaign!:clap_1:

I also got my Easter Buddy email. SHE is going to love what I get her!:wub:

Yup. I feel very lucky to get to SoWal as often as I do (and it doesn't feel like often enough for me). I come to SoWal about 3 times each year with the family and about 3-4 time a year by myself. And I'm trying to not spend time on the Internet much when I'm there and last time was the first time I really wasn't on the Internet every day. So, if someone pm's me and says they didn't join the SoWal Easter Card Exchange yet then we can be secret Easter Card exchangers. If not, then I'm in for the next one, whatever it is!

As kids, we used to get all dressed up for Easter with new dresses and sometimes Easter bonnets. And my dad used to get my mom and the 3 girls corsages to wear at Easter. Then we'd have Easter ravioli after church for lunch. Very sweet and fond memories.

[potatovixen]

Do we get our partners' addresses soon? :idontno:

[Ocean Lover]

Do we get our partners' addresses soon? :idontno:

Only for birthday girls.

[Ocean Lover]

I think Monday will be the day I can send emails with addresses. Then that will give you one more week to finish you easter greetings! Next Monday the 19th is the mail by date.

[audie]

to my easter pal - ups should be delivering yours on monday - no peeky !

[audie]

i was just wondering, how do you guys mail your packages like this ? i prefer the usps, but our post office here is too hard to get to.

i like the ups store because they will pack and ship - that way i don't have to fool with boxing the stuff up. yes, i am lazy !

Good, because I can't find the email of who my recipient is! Nor can I remember....got sidetracked. Shouldn't take me long to whip something together.:blush:

[Beach Runner]

I'm having trouble finding the raw materials for what I wanted to make.:eek: I used to be able to find them at Wal-Mart. I may have to come up with a Plan B.

[seagrovelover]

I got a special package in the mail today from Panama City.................


Thank you to my special person....... now I guess this means that I need to get started!!!!


I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot:roll: I'm going to start right now I promise!!!!!!:wub:

[Ocean Lover]

We've got a couple of Easter bunnies that are on the ball!:clap_1: This pancake bunny hasn't started. :shock:

[Ocean Lover]

:clap_1: My work here is done. ( until November)

You all should have rec'd your addresses today. Please let me know asap if you did not.

Remember our mail by date is next Monday, March 19.

EASTER PARTY EGGSCHANGE DAY- MARCH 27

[Ocean Lover]

I got a special package from Indiana today!:wub: :clap_1:

This motivating me to GET BUSY!

[seagrovelover]

I lied, I haven't started yet!!!!!! my weekend got way too busy:bang:

[Beach Runner]

Okay, you crafty types. If I'm doing wooden eggs painted Easter egg colors in acrylic paint, what would be the easiest paint applicator to do lettering and simple drawings with on top of the color? Maybe some kind of paint pen?

BTW the only place where I live to find anything like this is Wal-Mart.

Paint pens work really well, and those would probably be the easiest thing to use.
You may be SOL, though, because Wal-Marts nationwide are doing away with their craft departments. I went to fabric and yarn the other day and there was NADA.:bang:

So *that* explains why Wal-Mart's craft area is so small now. I thought it was just a problem at our local store.

I'll check Wal-Mart, but looks like I'll probably have to drive to Atlanta. Oh, well, I'm out of Laura Mercier eyeliner, and I can only find it in north Atlanta.

Thanks for your help.

[InletBchDweller]

ok I made mine today :clap_1: I dont know whether to laugh or cry...:blink: It is the thought that counts right???

[Allifunn]

I made mine today at Fired Up :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: what a funn place!

Mine's in the mail---:clap_1: :clap_1:

[Beach Runner]

:clap_1: I finished my Easter Eggschange gift this afternoon. Will have it in the mail Monday! On second thought, maybe I'll keep it for myself. :floor:

[Paula]

Mine will go in the mail tomorrow. My card is at best mediocre (though it took me about half an hour!), but the hand-made chocolates that go with it should be marvelous -- we have a local woman who started a hand-made chocolate business and we LOVE her chocolates. So, it seems like the deal is this for whoever gets me as their secret exchange person next: really nice card that I work on for over an hour/no chocolates; mediocre card that I work on for 30 minutes/fanastic chocolates (guilt chocolates) ...;-). Trust me, you want to go for the guilt chocolates! They are truly divine.

nothing you do is mediocre!:wub:

[iwishiwasthere]

Mine is finished with a "little extra something". What I lack in artistic ability, I can compensate with something good!

[Paula]

:floor: :floor: eggcellent!

Thanks, Allifunn. :wub: Trust me, this card would get a "C" -- maybe a C+ -- but I'm going for brownie points (chocolate points) for extra credit!

[supermom26.2]

I am mailing mine tomorrow. I tried really hard to do a GRAYT job but alas, my artistic ability needs work!

[Beach Runner]

Yay! Put it in the mail today.:clap_1:

Although I feel like I've given up a child for adoption. I took photos since I'll never see it again.:( :floor: Now that I'm all set up, maybe I'll make another.:biggrin:

[Paula]

Oops I forgot to take photos. But, it's in the mail!

[Beach Bimmer]

I have photos of several of these that were painted at Fired Up...but was sworn to secrecy under threat of Easter Bunny attack! :rolling:

[Ocean Lover]

Mine will go out in the mail tomorrow. I know, it's late, (see shoot me thread) but it's not going far. It was funn making something with pretty spring colors. I hope my pal likes it!

you are so right - i enjoy receiving anything that doesn't require a payment....

[potatovixen]

I got home from school last night and there was a package sitting by the front door. The first thing I noticed when I pulled up was the SoWal sticker on the box. I was still in my car and I started doing the little happy dance. :wub: Thanks to my special SoWal friend!

I hated to even post this but my Dad got hit on his bike 2 days ago in Grayton. He didn't see the pick-up truck and the truck didn't see him. He wouldn't go to the hospital/doctor and he was so scraped up. He said his ribs were really sore. I thought I worried about him picking up all the trash on the bike paths but this a lot worse on a bike. Sorry to go off on a tangent but there are a lot of people here driving too fast or too slow gawking at the sights and not 100% paying attention.
Why don't we have a bike path down to Grayton Beach? People ride, run, walk their dogs in the street and need a safe path down the road!

Here are my wishes:
A park for the kids
Flashing lights/school zone sign on 30A in Seaside, something to let people know there are 113 students, being dropped off/picked up and people need to drive slower through that area
A bike path down to Grayton Beach.
We need more safe areas for everyone!

Back to Easter!

DITTO SuperMom....I'm in Grayton so much and see all kinds of near tragedy's. I am so sorry about your Dad. I saw him a few days ago and he was looking ar something across the street with a concerned look on his face. I can remember, like so many of you, the days we could walk, ride our bikes, let our kids and dogs out in Grayton with little worry. NOT NOW! I love Grayton, but it's time for some changes!!!! And, it not big changes we need.....so no one needs to get their nose all bent out of shape. :cool:
OOOOPS:blush: sorry...being pushy is not my personality, but dang we are way past the time to think about safety in Grayton. Time to do something!

Okay....back to Easter....Yea...so much FUNN!!!!

My somebunny should receive their easter delivery by Friday!

[lindatat]

I confess - I mailed mine late. Today to be exact. But I sent it Priority Mail and paid for delivery confirmation. If it doesn't arrive on time for the party, I will personally deliver a replacement to the recipient!!!!

[Paula]

I received mine from some bunny today. Can't wait to open it. It's a BIG box - must be a BIG easter bonnet. I sent mine to some bunny on Monday regular mail so it should get there this week. It's a littler padded envelope with little edible treasures.

Supermom! Sorry about your dad. Glad he's OK. Did anyone stop after they hit him?

Supermom! Sorry about your dad. Glad he's OK. Did anyone stop after they hit him?

Thanks Paula. Yes, they did stop. I think he is more embarrased than anything! Traffic is so crazy right now. Something needs to be done to make this area safer!

[NewfieGirl]

OL - I am a little concerned what is in my box here... any chance I can peek? My dogs were circling it on the dining room table. Kisses tries to pull it off the table, so I moved it.... I think they :wub: my some bunny... not sure how long the box remains intact. Thought I would take a photo now.... see it up top? :funn:

Glad to know Hugs and Kisses are intelligent....they should be excited. Goodies for everyone!:biggrin:

:lolabove: ...Newfiegirl...I took a little peek at mine...and I can't wait to fully open it!!!!How can a little peek hurt??? It made my day!;-)

I'm sending mine out tomorrow....I was late, but I've been hobbling around on one leg. I will send it next day......still trying to get it finished. So my long distance Easter friend it will get there!!!! Don't start worrying yet!!:clap_1:

[Beachmom]

I'm with you, mine is ready for mailing tomorrow.:bang: I'm sorry to be so late, but I do hope it's worth it:biggrin:

BTW- IKT- what's going on with your foot?? ( I remember it was really bothering you- did I miss something?) What was wrong??

[drunkkenartist]

Hey gang, been busy, and have fallen out of the loop. I'm glad I just saw the post of when these are due, and I'm glad my victim is local cause I haven't even started yet! DUH!

Supermom! I just read about your Dad! I hope he is OK! :eek: Did he ever go to the doctor? Rib injuries can be serious. Hope all is well.

Anywho, I got home from work just now, still sick, and very tired, and there was this large envelope on the counter with my mail. Without thinking I opened it- and gasped- then giggled- then cried. I slumped down on the kitchen floor and wept. It is absolutely perfect! Of course then I realized what it was and what I had dropped the ball on, and put in carefully back in the envelope and sealed it again. I will reopen it on the 27th, act surprised, proudly take pictures of it, and post.

Thank you special friend To Be Announced on 27th!:wub: :wub: :wub:

I'm going to have it framed! You rock!:cool: :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:

Oh BeachMom I must have a little dark cloud wanting to follow me around lately. First I had (still Have the ankle cyst) then a week and a half ago I slipped and fell straight down on my left leg (which was bent) falling directly with all my weight on my knee cap. It was in my home kitchen...tile floor.:eek:

To make a long story short I went to an orthopedist yesterday....x-rays, shot of steriod, having to wear the most embarrassing blue paper shorts.:blush: Didn't have breaks or fractures, but did damage under the knee cap and top of knee, ligaments, etc.:idontno: Now what....we're supposed to be moving this weekend and the house looks like a tornado pitched a tent and decided to stay. I just want a dumpster out the window with a shoot....get rid of everything!!!!

:clap_1: Yea... it's smaller, but it doesn't have 19 stairs to the first level then another 19 to the second. I just want a simple life with less clutter.:funn: Oh well, BeachMom thanks for asking about my leg, foot...you know!;-)

Do you need help moving? Maybe if I help you, then I don't have to clean my house!

[audie]

OMG where did the week go? Time flies, huh?

i think it is some kind of bizarre time warp physics thingy. my week i work goes so slow - each hour equals 240 minutes or something like that. the weeks i am off, it's like i go to bed on monday morning, and i wake up and it's sunday and time to go back to work on monday.

Probably feels like the equivalent of weeks and weekends for the rest of us.

[audie]

ok exchangers - let me start you off here - i opened my gift this morning since i won't be able to make the party. ocean lover was my secret sowaller (wait'll you see who i got):

i was the recipient of a gorgeous "i love sowal" frame, an awesome handmade card, and a chicken that poops bubble gum - which do you think is my fave ? :clap_1: thank you so much ol ! i love them - can't wait to take the chicken to work....she'll be laying pill eggs all night....

Yea!!!! Have funn w/ Mr Chicken! I saw it and knew it had to be yours. ;-) As for the frame, I wanted the writing to stand out a little more ( the paint was a bright green) but after applying it on the turquise it didn't show up so much. I was too afraid I'd mess it up and make it worse so there you have it...put your fav photo of your next trip inside!

I think this was the first time that a secret sowaller got each other. (I got Audie's name and she got mine) :clap_1:

I can't wait to open mine tomorrow!!!!!!

I'm so glad you like it! I had so much funn making it. After I had him all sewn up, I took a ton of pictures with my phone. I was occupied with that for at least an hour, no lie.....

And then after my grandmother found the buttons that we used for eyes, we both laughed for a good five minutes because the poor little guy looks blind with those big ol' blank eyes.

Anyway.... Happy Easter!

PLease, Secret Sowaller, do not be upset at your present! I tried eggstra hard and it is the thought that counts right?:blush: Because of the way I did it, I couldn't write your name on it. I was thinking of you the entire time I painted it! I might have to send out for reinforcements and have Mr Supermom make a contribution. He is almost finished with IKT's painting!

[Paula]

Thanks to Beach Runner for my box of hand painted Easter eggs, each with its own SoWal theme. They will be on our table at Easter as our centerpiece! It's so funn to see the photos of everyone's Easter stuff. Thanks again, OL!

I'll try to post the photo of Beach Runner's grayt eggs in a carton now. I took it near the snowdrop flowers outside our house. And then I'll get ready to head to the basement if the tornado watch gets serious! We get about 3-4 each year during the change of the seasons. We had two 80 degree days (Supermom!) but it will start to cool down again tomorrow.

[Paula]

Looks like I can't post the photo. I spent over an hour today trying to get it to the point where I could attach it -- with no luck. So, you all will have to imagine it for now. I may try again tomorrow but if I keep trying I may crack like an egg myself. But I sure love them Beach Runner and the card, too!

Glad you like them!:D :clap_1: I took pix to show them to Beach Jacket. Want me to post them for you?

Hope the tornado watch doesn't amount to anything. I always get flipped out when one is annouced.

I opened mine! From LindaBobhat...:wub: :wub: :wub: (needs to be changed to JustLinda!:biggrin: ) I love it girl..it is a hand painted wooden bunny that is a door knob ornament...it is hanging on my front door knob right now! It says "some bunny loves you....allifunn 2007" There was also a sweet card with it....:wub:
I will post pics later ...my kids are coming over for dinner...so I won't be able to post one yet.

All the Easter exchange items are so wonderful! DD, IBD...grayt job! :clap_1: I guess the thing that amazes me the most...is we have all taken time out of our busy, crazy schedules to make something or send something to our secret sowaller...it has so much meaning and substance!

Glad to know Hugs and Kisses are intelligent....they should be excited. Goodies for everyone!:biggrin:
Yeah - I finally got to see what all the eggcitement was about when the package arrived! The dogs must have a grayt sense of smell because there was some wonderful, homemade Easter treats for all of us inside (IWIWT is a great cook!). Everyone got their own. Lots of Spring colors and a perfect handmade bunny card along with three bunny bags full of treats. Check out the homemade doggie cookies shaped like bunnies and eggs! :clap_1: Last picture is Huggs and Kisses vegging out with full bellies. Thank you so much, IWIWT!:wub: :D This was so much funn... thanks for coordinating, OL!

Looks like I can't post the photo. I spent over an hour today trying to get it to the point where I could attach it -- with no luck. So, you all will have to imagine it for now. I may try again tomorrow but if I keep trying I may crack like an egg myself. But I sure love them Beach Runner and the card, too!
Paula, hope you're okay and that the tornado watch is over. Glad you like what I sent. Here's some photos -- thought I'd save you some time because I had already uploaded them. BTW love the chocolate!

PLease, Secret Sowaller, do not be upset at your present! I tried eggstra hard and it is the thought that counts right?:blush: Because of the way I did it, I couldn't write your name on it. I was thinking of you the entire time I painted it! I might have to send out for reinforcements and have Mr Supermom make a contribution. He is almost finished with IKT's painting!


Supermom26.2 - I LOVE my egg!!! How could I possibly be upset? Kaylee just adores all the little chicks you packaged it with. We'll take some pics in a minute and post them. And believe it or not, I'm glad you didn't put my screen name on it as I'm trying to get it changed when my divorce is final.

Sorry I'm a little late for the eggschange. Had other stuff going on tonight and just got in. Can't wait to catch up and see all the other gifts!

Here's a picture of my beautiful egg that Supermom26.2 made:

Let's just say Fired-up didn't offer me a job like they did Allifunn! I'm glad you liked it! One chick didn't make it because my 7 year old snatched it!

I was trying to figure out where you lived. We lived in Lincoln Park for a year back in 1994/1995. I remember the pizza thread, we loved the Pizza place that was at the corner of Halsted and Willow or North (I can't remember which) but they had this great pizza called Pear Pinoli - Pears, 3 cheeses and pine nuts! It was to die for! The last time I was there, my husband and I ran in the Chicago Marathon in 2000!

[Beachmom]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!:bang: I've really missed the funn!! It's been a day......that lasted from last Fri. till today! I've just now read the last 3-4 pages...............:bang: :bang: :bang:


I got the greatest gift delivered to me Sat. night (but I was sworn to secretsy till today.......well, yesterday seeing that it is 12:15! DKA went over and beyond on this one, I treasure it so much because of the special person behind it (not to mention ............ chocolate!!!) I got 6 special works of art + something for each of the "beachkids"!!!!! I :wub: you DKA!!!!!!!!!

[Beachmom]

hard to see from the pic's but there are 6 beautiful wine glasses in the basket...........I :wub: my original DKA's!!!

[ItzKatzTime]

Happy Early Easter!

Love Love Love my Easter Package! It is so cool!!!! Thank you so much Newfiegirl :clap_1:

I tried to post this afternoon, but something was going on with my puter.:bang: and, as always I was trying to post and run out the door. I had no idea it would be this late when I got home.

Look at this beautiful Easter Present from my SoWal Pal....and she knew just what I needed. Chocolate, candle, milk bath aaaaahhhh...a steamy book to read and doggie treats too! I adore this cute egg basket. It is so colorful and really made my day. Newfiegirl wrote me the sweetest note.....:wub: :wub: :wub:

The card you made is precious, especially the paw print:biggrin: My daughter is jealous that "I" got a package and she didn't. Sorry my sweet girl, but ITZKATZTIME!

Thank You again Newfiegirl:wub: ....this was so much FUNN!!!!

Grayt work of love and time Ocean Lover.:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:
Going to sleep now....everyone's is GRAYT!
But, I don't think mine got to California in time:(

That pizza sounds amazing. Was the restaurant called Trattoria Gianni? I looked up the area on Google Earth and it looks like it is at the corner of Halsted & Willow. I'm afraid I don't know the "city" that well - lived near Belmont & Kedzie for a few years from 1990 to 1993. Not a really nice area like Lincoln Park, though. Most of my life I've been in the NW suburbs. Grew up in Park Ridge and live in Des Plaines now - both very close to O'Hare Airport. And I've never run a marathon - one of my co-workers ran in it last year dressed as a Harlem Globetrotter complete with oversized afro wig and Richard Simmons style short-shorts - what a hoot!

[ItzKatzTime]

:clap_1: I got the cutest surprise....I thought I'd just eat a little chocolate before bed...lo and behold I open the Easter egg up and a little peep popped out. It's so cute and looks like he looking right at me!!:rolling:

Thanks again NewfieGirl!!!

[iwishiwasthere]

So the chocolate treats were for the doggies? :eek:

NOnonono!!!!! :eek:the girls get the healthy stuff!!!! Your treat is called "Puppy Chow"...sorry to confuse. I wanted to ice the cookies, but live in a small town and no carob or yogourt chips.:bang:

[audie]

Don't want Mr. Audie to take one of you and me???? LOL - J/K. I'd be honored to take your picture - it's the least I can do! And I can't wait to do it - just a month away!!!!!!

of course he will get pics of us - that goes without saying !

[audie]

Oh, and I forgot to mention those dang bunnies falling out everywhere when I opened my card.:floor: :clap_1:

:rofl: gotcha ! ask toots about the confetti in her valentines card that went everywhere...

[audie]

great job to everyone ! there were some eggcellent gifts presented.

[jdarg]

Wow- what eggstraordinary eggs!! Y'all did such a good job!!

A little "backstory" about the egg painted at Fired Up by Supermom---we were having a Wench Paint Club last month, and she started early so she could run over to Great Southern and watch American Idol, then came back and finished her egg. She is a true blue AI fan!

[Miss Kitty]

Y'all are all good eggs! :clap_1:

The Pizza place was called Pizza Capri! That pear pizza was the best! Maybe when Allifunn comes down we could try to make one! She has the gourmet touch!

Paula, hope you're okay and that the tornado watch is over. Glad you like what I sent. Here's some photos -- thought I'd save you some time because I had already uploaded them. BTW love the chocolate!

Thanks for posting the photo, Beach Runner. They are really going to go on our Easter table, along with our home-made ravioli which is an Easter tradition in our family that goes back a few generations -- there's always room for a new tradition (your Easter eggs) on our table!

Glad you like the chocolates. They are hand-made by a woman who started an upscale chocolate business here in Ann Arbor called Sweet Gems. She makes all the candy herself by hand. She was awarded the best new small business award recently as well. I think she has a website, too, but we just go down the street a bit and get her chocolates. They are amazing.

Beach Jacket and I made similar eggs for ourselves years ago -- we saw a Martha Stewart show and used her idea to use the gold paint. Our eggs are also our kitchen centerpiece every year. Thanks for continuing our tradition.:wub:

OMG -- homemade ravioli -- can I come to your house for Easter?

BTW the little abstract lines on the back side of the eggs are supposed to look like seagull footprints in the sand. I'm not an artist - I drew the book and the sun eggs first. When I decided that you might not recognize what they were meant to be, I added the captions -- like I said, I'm not an artist. Glad you like them. And I am addicted to the those chocolate-covered almonds!

BR, love the eggs and the carton! :biggrin: Are they blown eggs? wooden? ceramic?

[Beach Runner]

Wooden. My husband made a jig and drilled a tiny hole in the bottom of each egg so that every coat of paint could be completed in one step. I wanted papier maché ones because they're easier to work with and what was recommended by Martha Stewart, but couldn't find them. I like the wooden ones -- they just take more coats of paint. It was worth it!

I have to say...I love it!:clap_1:

Confession: I assumed (making an ass out of you and me) that these were due on EASTER! So mine will be arriving a smidge late, but arriving. Sometimes I don't follow direction!:shock:

Thank you, thank you, thank you It's Katz Time!!!! I ove my goodies, and especially for how personally chosen it (all of it!) was!:clap_1: :wub:

GK - you have to sign up early on to participate in the Easter exchange. we did the same for Christmas and Valentines Day. It's really funn! You need to sign up next time, and get your mama to do the same! If you sign up, then you get a secret sowal name and you make a card or craft and send it to them by mail by a certain date. and someone gets your name and sends you a surprise. you take a picture of whatever you received and post it for all of us to see and enjoy. It's funn!

for now, why don't you take a picture of your own easter basket or prizes and post them here or another thread. we would love it!

Grayton Kid- for Christmas I'll set up a separate kid ornament exhange just for all our Sowal kiddos. k? Hope you are having a blast this week on your break.:D

Thanks to all who took part in the exchanges over the past few months.:clap_1: It was a blast. I truly enjoyed doing this for my friends. The next one will be the ornament exchange and we'll do it in November with the party the first week in December. I have a feeling we'll have quite a large turnout so remind me to start early!!!
