Ornament Exchange

We talked about last years Ornament exchange while we were in Hershey last week and wondered if our dear Chen♥ was doing it this year. One of the girls also asked the question here yesterday. I messaged Chen yesterday asking about it. Although she would love to do it, she feels that she might not be completely up to do it this year (which I totally understand). She said that she struggled back and forth with the idea. She has graciously passed the torch to me this year (and this year only). Although I will never replace Chen, I will do my best to be a "substitute"

For the last many years Chen has organized this ornament exchange on the BC boards, and Facebook. If you are interested, please private message me your real name and address. When I start getting the names, I will send you a name and address of a Kindred Spirit to send an Ornament to.

You can send any type of ornament that you wish, it's up to you. Last year I sent my ornament to Pinkflutterby (our dear sweet Libby). Libby and I became very close because of this. I continued to send her cards and little gifrs throughout the year.

We had lots of fun with this last year and hope that it continues this year. Some even posted pictures of their ornaments to share with everyone.

So, if you are interested please PM me your real name and address and I will try to get your "Secret Santa" name to you as soon as possible.

Let me know if you have any questions, too.

xoxo,
Jean

    It would be great if we could each also send one to Chen for doing this in the past. We would need her contact info unless we send them to one of us and have them send together. Your thoughts?

    This is so much fun.
    I participated for the first time last year and enjoyed picking out something for a pink sister. Also the suspense of waiting for my ornament to arrive. I am going to pm you right now. Thanks for doing this.

    I was hoping that this tradition continued this year. Jean, thank you for taking this on. Chen, you sit back and relax this year. I'm sure Jean will gladly pass the torch back.

    I can't wait to get my secret sister's name. Even better, I am excited to begin reading the posts as the "surprises" arrive. (((Hugs)))
