Got my Secret Santa gift today...thanks Arabella..they are too cute! I hope mine arrived to you.

Just saw this post. How neat that we got each other. I don't know if you can use flamingo ornaments on your tree ever . . . but if you do think of me in sunny Florida. I just loved the home made ornamanets. My girls thought they were so neat and hung them on the tree right away. :)

YAY more pictures!

Montreal Interviewer: "What do you have in common with each other?"

Peachey: "We're REALLY weird."

Montreal Interviewer (incredulously to me): "Do you agree with that?"

<I think back to several days before the interview. Driving through the country, passing a field with cows...>

Peachey: "MOOOO! MOOOOO! Does this make me weird?"

Me: "No, well yes. Here, let me roll down the windows so they can hear you better!"

Peachey: "MOOOOO!!!!"

<back to interview>

Me: "Yes, yes I do."

Wow on the tree size, that's impressive! Good to know that you finally received them, have to love Canada Post!!! (NOT)Raymaga, it was me! :blush: I thought you would figure it out by process of elimination, felt like mine was the last to get to its destination!

Glad to know that you liked them, they are actually place card holders, but I thought the same too, that they could have been used as ornaments..almost kept them for myself!

Sorry that you didn't get them in time for this year, but you'll have new baubles for next year now.

Enjoy! :star:
