[QUOTE=Mama Zappa] What is this “don’t need more ornaments” of which you speak? I do not understand 🙂 [/QUOTE] When my wife and I moved in together, I was unemployed at the time so was responsible for consolidating all our physical possessions (for closet/cabinet/storage space purposes). In terms of sheer physical volume, **1/3** of the things my wife owned was Christmas stuff. True, she doesn’t collect books or music or even clothes much. But Christmas stuff? Whoo Daddy! Now that we have a house, we can actually display most (but still not all) of the things she’s collected over the years. I’ll send that e-mail out today. ---

One last bump before the weekend. I’ll be working on the assignments Sunday. Nobody else has signed up in the last day or so, so I won’t repost the list of participants. If you email me to sign up, and don’t hear back from me in a couple of hours, post something to this thread. I’ve had trouble with at least one person’s email not getting through to me. I do try to acknowledge every email once I receive it, so you know you’re on the list. If I see someone on the thread, whose email hasn’t reached me, at least I can try to hunt you down 🙂 ---

Just sent out the assignments. Hopefully I didn’t mess anything up! Just a reminder: drop me an email (or post to the board) when you’ve send your ornament, and again when you’ve received it. ---

She must not have got your e-mail again? Can you open a Yahoo or Hotmail account to try to get through to her? She said she would try another batch of “latecomers”… ☹ ---

I got an email this afternoon from someone who hadn’t gotten my email from Sunday telling whom to send to. Is anyone else waiting for their assignment? If so - email me, or post here, and I’ll resend. Got my ornament to send, just have to get it packaged up and mailed this weekend 🙂 ---

OK - I’ve re-sent info to Kaiwik and ArchiveGuy from both my home and work email addresses. Can you two let me know if you received the emails? If not - we’ll have to connect by phone or AIM (though I’m only on AIM during the working day usually) Anyone else still waiting for exchange info? ---

I received mine today! It’s a beautiful handmade ornament, with red and green beads and ribbon. I can’t tell which doper sent it, but thanks so much!
