I’m in - just sent you an e-mail.

3

Count me in! Email will be on the way momentarily.

4

Just sent you an email. Maybe a bump will help getting participation up.

5

A post-Thanksgiving bump.

6

I’m in! Email sent.

Just the other day, HallGirl1 and I were going through the box of ornaments, and she was picking out some she’d like to have. “Can’t have that one,” I told her, “A Doper gave it to me last year.”

7

Email sent. Thanks for doing this, **laina_f **!

8

I’ll be sending an e-mail shortly.

Are there any guidelines about the ornaments? Size, subject, cost, anything? Or just run with it?

9

I’m in too. E-mail sent.

10

Email sent, count me in as well!

11

Size: Small enough to hang on a Christmas tree. Light enough to not cause the tree to lean in the direction of the ornament.
Subject: Uh, Christmasy. No porn.
Cost: Less than $1,000, unless you’ve really got money to burn.
DO NOT RUN WITH ORNAMENTS! If you fell down, the ornament could break and you could cut yourself.

Welcome to the Exchange, thirdwarning.

12

Well, there goes somebody’s John Holmes ornament. Damn.

13

Where’s bodypoet? I think she did the exchange last year.

14

Do Tampon Angels count as porn? :smiley:

15

“Hey, mine’s got a red dress! Wh…ahhh, uggghhh! Oh my GOD!!!”

16

I think she’s let her membership lapse.

17

Let’s give this a bump!

¿Donde está la gente? :confused:

Hey, laina_f, when is the deadline for participation?

18

Are these supposed to be tacky, or cute, or pretty, or regional, or… I need a theme!

I’ll shoot an email I guess. International, no problema.

19

I’ve been offline for a couple of days due to the evil cable people. Thanks for the bump, EvilAsh.
¿Donde está la gente? No se.
When is the deadline for participation? I’ll start making assignments and sending emails on Sunday. People can keep signing up until I get sick of it.

No rules. Send whatever tickles your fancy (oh wait, I said no porn). It’s really not hard to find a nice ornament at this time of year. :rolleyes:
As for the no porn rule. . . I really don’t care. I just hate to visualize this:
“Oh, what a clever ornament. And such a lovely sparkly snow frosting. . . oh my god, eeeeeeeewwwwwww.”
