2010 VIOL FORUM ORNAMENT EXCHANGE

[California Girl]

I just posted information on this year's Forum Christmas/Holiday ornament exchange on the Off Topic Forum.

If you're interested in taking part in the exchange, you will find the information there.

I just ordered my ornaments last week! It was so freaking cute I had to order one for myself as well So excited to do this again!!!

[California Girl]

I did the same thing! LOL!

Owing to some questions I've had, I guess I should make some things more clear:

1. To add your Forum name to your Elfster profile, just go into your profile page and put your Forum name in parentheses right after your last name.

2. Make sure your address is on your profile or the person who draws your name won't know where to send your ornament!

3. During the last couple of years some people never sent their elf an ornament and that resulted in some pretty disappointed people. So if your in, please be in!

oh, also....


I will "flip the switch" on Thanksgiving and the names will automatically be drawn, then everyone will get an e-mail telling them who their elf is. If I remember correctly, the e-mail will tell you their name and address, so all you have to do is address your package and drop it in the mail!

It's fun if you post a picture of the ornament you get and say who sent it to you!

31 people have accepted so far!

Thanks for mentioning the address thing. I hadn't put mine out there and I was wondering how this all worked. I'll go add my address right now!

Can anyone give me some ideas of where you are finding these ornaments on line? I have been searching and haven't come up with anything I want yet. My next option is pounding the pavement but don't have lots of time for that. I wish I did as I love to browse and shop but 3 boys, a husband and job and housework don't allow for much of it!!!

Hey Fins!
Michaels has most of their ornaments out now, but for specifically tropical ornaments, try St. John Spice! I think Ruth has them year-round!

[FinsUp]

Thanks CG!! I will check it out. I am looking forward to this. How exciting to buy and ornament for and receive one from someone who loves STJ as much as we do!!!!
