The CSN Warrior-Sisters have started sending out their ornaments, I see!!!
Hugs,
Claudia
BTW...Some of you ( randomly chosen!) will be getting more than one ornament! I had an un-even number of names, and of course I wanted all to send AND receive, so I put an imaginary push-pin in the imaginary map of CSN-land, and voila! Some of you will be doubly blesed! Enjoy!!!!!

VickiSam! You are such a darling!!! And, you are already 3/4 on your way to having whomever you are sending an ornament to grinning Big Time when they see a gift in their mail! I would have thought we have a bit more time to mail too, until this morning when one of the CSN sisters posted a picture of her Beach Themed CHRISTMAS TREE on FaceBook. I was sooo surprised!

When are these "due?"
As usual, I've done nothing yet, thinking "oh, plenty of time."
I don't want to disappoint my person.

I also saw on Facebook
Today I also saw on Facebook that 4 ornaments PLUS GOODIES were being mailed. I thought how thoughtful...goodies also. Have to start searching for the special ornament for my special girl. What I have been doing is paying particular attention to the postings of my special girl to learn more about her in the hopes of finding that perfect ornament for her.
This is getting exciting.
Lots of Hugs,

LOL @ you Victoria! They are "due" for the Holiday Season~ whenever that is in your mind/heart! It isn't even Turkey Day yet, right??? I reiterate, I make the exchange suggestion, I collect the names/addresses, I randomly send them to those who want to play, and from there, it's up to you! No rules!!! Well, just one: Lead With Your Heart!!
No worries....

I am new to this site, and new to cancer. I joined yesterday. Had a lumpectomy Sept 22, results Sept 30th. Have already done my rads, mommosite stlye, first T/C 2 weeks ago this coming monday.... Anyway, is it to late to play?? I have spent several hours last night and today reads posts and learning! Wish I had found this a month ago, although I was to tired to do much of anything. Everyone is wonderful and so supportive and helpful. If I'm to late, that's ok, will just do it next year!

That's what I did Janelle, I had been away from CSN for a while so she is new to me. I had some researching to do and I love her already. I thought about where she was at in her treatment and how her posts sound, but you know it's still hard to know what special thing that person would like. I hope whoever has gotten my name does not feel they need to send anything more than the agreed upon ornament. That would be special enough in itself. I love this! I can't always put my "I care" into words, but this I can do. To me, sending this to my csn sister is the next best thing to being there and giving her a hug. It's a reaching out that is more concrete than words and it gives me great joy to do it.0 -

It is NOT too late to participate! I will send you a Private Message via CSN email! Respond to it with your name and mailing address and I will see to it that you will both receive and send a Holiday Ornament!!!

Well, sweet ladies, I have officially ended the time to join our festivities! I had amazingly GREAT responses this year! Not just from us here at CSN, but I also opened it up to CSN'ers who are now mainly on FB. So we have a big family of ornament exchangers this time! It is the 3rd year I have done this on the Boards; I previously did it in the chatroom as well! ( I am a glutton for punishment! If you all only knew how altruistic yet un-organized I am in Real Life!!) It is amazing that any of you got someone to send to! LOL LOL
Three Kindred Spirits joined in yesterday...and then the door closed for 2010!
Ok~ typing in all caps here: DON'T FORGET TO POST AND TELL US WHEN YOUR ORNAMENT ARRIVES AND DESCRIBE IT TO US~IT ABSOLUTELY DOUBLES THE FUN AND EXCITEMENT FOR ALL OF US!!!!
Hugs to all of you! I hope this has been a fun experience!

So - have to wrap & package, address & get to the Post Office to mail. Most likely, immediately after Thanksgiving.
Agreeing with Jan's post - this makes our connections much more tangible. I remember how I felt last year, holding the ornament I knew my pink CSN sister had also touched with her own hands. Yes - heartwarming! :-)
Additionally - this Christmas Girl gets EXTRA excited about Christmas!!!
Kind regards, Susan0 -
Yes!
My ornament arrived this afternoon and I've already sent a "thank-you" to my special sister. It's lovely, and I'm so happy.
I'll get the ornament for my chen-sister in the mail right after Thanksgiving - have to finish painting the living room before guests arrive for turkey.
