Sooner than we know it, THE HOLIDAYS will be upon us! Some of us celebrate, some of us don't. We are all from myriad backgrounds, religions ( or not) ethnicities, cultures, etc etc etc. We may not be recognizing the time of year as special, or perhaps we are! We may live in the snow or the sun...well, Kindred Spirits, you get the picture! We are NOT cookie-cutter friends!

That having been said, for the second year, I am initiating an Ornament Exchange here on the BC boards! They don't have to be angels, or Santa's, tho they certainly can be~ they might be sleds, or stars, wine glasses, pink ribbons (EWWW!LOL) or dogs! This is simply a time for those of us who want to to connect with other Kindred Spirits here to do so! It was a great success last year, and I want to let you know we are doing it again!

IF you want to participate, send me a Private Message here at my CSN email, along with your REAL NAME and snail-mail address. The 1st week of December I will have matched up names and addresses and I will email you your Ornament Buddy's name and address~ no one will know whose name you got or who got yours!

The economy sucks ( what? You needed ME to tell you that???) This does NOT have to be a Fabrege Egg or Tiffany's Diamond Collection of ornaments! Just Kindred Spirit to Kindred Spirit...99 cent store, or home-made, whatver we can afford~ this time it truly is the thought that counts. Because all of us count in ways that are indeed special.

Hugs,
Chen♥

    Claudia, I think this is a wonderful idea. Count me in. I'm not real computer literate and thought I could figure out how to send a PM, but I can't. Would you be so kind and give me, along with anyone else (I know there are others our there), instructions? Thank you!

    The response to this has been swift and amazing! I think ( if I make the time) that I can already divide up and send at least 20 of you Ornament Buddies!!!! I will of course keep the offer open for about another 3 weeks for anyone else who wants to join in! Thanks for participating; you all rock! But you knew that already, didn't you?????

    I would love to do this, but I don't know what my address will be or when we are moving so I must (sadly, insert tears) pass. But it does sound like such fun.

    Stef,

    Is there a relative that you could have the ornament sent to because if you want to ... then there has to be an address that it could be sent to? Hope so!
