> [@Scarlett67](#): > > Oh, good, I was starting to get worried because I hadn’t heard anything long after it should have arrived. I hope she liked what I sent. Looks like she hasn’t posted on the board in about a week and a half. She emailed me a few days ago with a question and mentioned she’d been pretty sick ☹ BTW - thanks!!! for anyone who sent her an extra ornament (I know she got at least one, and was confused as to why, but I explained it was to make up for getting ditched last year). ---

Oooh! Oooh! I just received a gorgeous hand-painted glass egg ornament from **Pixilated**! Thank you! I promptly hung it on the tree – and now I realize I’m going to have to move it, because I can’t see it from the chair I normally sit in. ---

I got mine today! Thanks, **freckafree**! It’s a pretty heart-shaped ornament decorated with birds and holly. I like it very much! Merry Christmas! ---

You can also tie a ribbon around it and hang it from the tree. Glad you liked it =) I received mine today but was rushing out the door to go to work… beautifully wraped! Will post more info when I get home ---

Just a quick status check: as far as I can tell based on my spreadsheet and private emails, everyone has received an ornament, correct? (plus one person who got ditched last year got a second one based on an email appeal I sent out - THANK YOU!!!). If anyone has been missed and I didn’t catch it earlier, give me a shout. ---

They’re perfect! My SO did mend a couple of them but they are as good as new and oh so sparkly! Thank you so much!
