Yay! I’ve already got 2 ornament candidates. I’m trying not to look at any more ornaments - I may accumulate enough for several years of exchanges. GT ---

[QUOTE=Ludy] Count me in. [/QUOTE] Cool! I’ve added you to the list but I’ll need you to email or PM me with the usual info (address, international shipping pref, etc.). I always go to a craft fair run by the local parks department… but they’re only having one this holiday season and that’s next weekend and I’ll be out of town :mad:. I found another one, a Sugarloaf fair, the following weekend and I suppose I’ll have to make time to go to that one. Me loves my handmade ornaments. Plus that might be a good place to get something for the Secret Santa exchange 🙂 ---

Ornament shipped. I think I paid more to ship the packaging than I did to ship the ornament. But it wasn’t a large sum either way. ---

Cool - looks like Eureka got the first-shipped award for the first round. A notice / reminder: if there are any Dopers who are interested in participating, but who have not signed up, I’ll do a second round of matches in a couple of days. So feel free to keep on signing up!! ---

I have to find a box to ship mine in so it may take another day or two. Hmmm, where to find ornament sized boxes… ---

Since my ornament was flat–and not fragile–it went in one of those bubble mailing envelopes. I had several other things which I wanted to mail, so I had the ornament all packed up just waiting for an address, when I checked my e-mail, wrote down the address, and headed off to the post office with my arms full. ---

Sent! It’s in a bubble-envelope, which will be more than sufficient to protect it. It should take 2-3 days to arrive. 🙂 ---

The local place that has cool ornaments won’t be open until Thursday. Patience, grasshopper . . . ---

I signed Z\_C, to clear up a potential mystery. I didn’t think to write Zabali\_Clawbane out. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-ornament-exchange-2007-edition/426543.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-ornament-exchange-2007-edition/426543.md?page=3)
