    The Peanuts character ornaments are cute!

    I'm pretty much decided on what I'm going to do. I've come up with two options and both are really cool. Went shopping yesterday and bought enough 'stuff' to make two of each; one can be a prototype and if it works out well, it will go to my partner, if not, I'll have an ornament ((or trash can depending on how bad it turns out)) LOL

    If all goes well, I am certainly up for being an angel swapper!!

    I would like to swap a Christmas ornament this year. This is my first try and am looking forward to it.

    Just checking in to say hi....I was out of town for a personal vacation in MA. It always seems like I go places that does not have cell or internet service, but honestly it is nice to just escape the world once in a while.

    I am going to get all caught up with all the PM's and put together a list of everyone who has signed up so far. It is my plan to have the list together so I can post it on Sunday. I am doing this to ensure that I have not missed a PM. Don't want to see anyone left out who wants to play.

    Good news is no more trips for me till after the swap. Now to start thinking of fun things we can all do to make the swap interesting.

    Cookie, I love the Peanut ornaments. My Grandson, who is going on 12 still loves the Peanuts, maybe the two of us will have to sit down and make some of these over the holidays.

    I have been out picking up stuff to make ornaments with.

    Since I am not sure what my partner may or may not like
    want to have a variety of options just in case.

    I was flipping thru Block magazine and found an ornament using iron -on & aluminum foil. Our national treasure, Jenny Doan, made ornaments w jell y roll strips and used foil for the top. Stabilized foil suggests many possibilities.
    And iron-on products would add stability to sheet music, old cards, etc. Craft on!

    Hi Jan,
    Is there any special ornament design you would want in exchange? I have close to 30 different patterns and lots of ideas. My tree will be real "happy" this year! Ha!!
