2023 Christmas Ornament Exchange

[Flasher]

Hello, Cherries!  Christmas is only 73 days away!  It will be here before you know it!  How would you like to participate in a Christmas ornament exchange here on the MB with your fellow Cherries?

Here is everything you need to know:

1.  Sign-ups are now open and will close on October 15, 2023 at midnight!  Please sign up on this thread, and then send me a PM with your name and mailing address.

2.  On or around October 16, you will receive a PM from me indicating which Cherry you are purchasing an ornament for.

3.  If you choose to sign up and play, please be sure to answer the questions at the end of this post.  This way you will get to know the likes and dislikes of your Chosen Cherry!

4.  With regard to the cost of the ornaments, there is no maximum and no minimum.  There are ornaments in all price ranges.  Just be sure that the ornament you purchase is something your gal will truly enjoy.  In years past, some Cherries have sent more than one ornament to their assigned gal.  However you want to handle it is up to you and your budget!

5.  ALL ORNAMENTS SHOULD BE RECEIVED BY DECEMBER 5, 2023!  This will give us Cherries ample time to display and enjoy our ornaments. 

6.  If for some reason you sign up and then decide that you can't play for whatever reason, please PM me as soon as possible so that I can make alternate plans.   Also, if life gets in the way and your package is late to go out or will be delayed for any reason at all, be sure to PM me as soon as possible.  Hey, life happens -- and we ALL know that.  We all understand when things go wrong, but we also want to be sure everyone is kept in the loop and no one is left without an ornament.  Communication is key!

I'm in!

1.  I have two main trees.  The first (family) tree I decorate with all colors!  My second Pink tree is pink!  The rest of my home decorating is virtually all red and green!

2.  My tree does not have a theme.  Anything goes and is welcome on my tree (except for that awful thing mentioned in #5). 

3.  My decorating style is . . . anything goes!  I love traditional, country, hodge podge, retro, etc.  I love tracking down older ornaments from the 60's and 70's!

4.  There are no collections on my tree.

5.  I . . . hate . . . snowmen.  HATE them.  It's completely irrational and my reasons are petty, but I simply hate them.  So please, do not send me a snowman.  I won't like it even if it's pink.  And when I say SNOWMAN, I mean a snowman of any kind -- made out of seashells or candy or other items. 

6.  Stay away from snowmen and Flasher will be happy!

Most of the rest of the house will have a beach type theme as we live on a saltwater lagoon.

Her first tree is a Tiffany blue tree with crystal ornaments. and bows.


Her second tree is decorated with red, green, gold and all her kids ornaments from growing up.

I am very traditional and country. My tree is always real. I like deep reds/dark greens. No pink, purple, orange etc.
I like cowboy/farm stuff. Nothing cutesy or cartoonish.
I don’t mind Victorian or Vintage.
