They are on my desk at the office, I do them during break, lunch, or early morning if I am at work early.

Yay!! Glad it found it's way to you. Enjoy!

Mailed out my 2 ornaments today, you should receive soon!

cuppy

Still waiting on one of mine. Deadline is getting closer so Solon I should have mine. I understand With the weather though. Here it's been horrible and very cold. Hope all is safe from the hurricane and the storm.

My Christmas ornaments are in the mail. Yes I wait till today, just seems odd that we are thinking of christmas, when it's only Halloween "today". And, Yes I know......Christmas has been at Walmart and Kmart in ND/SD since the middle of September.

and I did get one set of my ornaments (Thanks so much - love the machine embroidery one)on Saturday, will post pic's when the other one comes.

Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas

My ornament will be in the mail today. I do not have a photo, I will try to get one before I finish sealing the box.

My ornaments won't go out till tomorrow. Sorry it is last minute but that was the deadline and I like to wait on these to be mailed in November instead of October. Love the anticipation.

Ok, my ornaments are finally on their way! I was going to mail on Monday, but with the hurricane decided to wait a couple of days and see what happened. My partners should receive these in a couple of days.

Happy you like them...Hope to be your swap partner again. :thumbup:

Were those the ones from me that you received?

someone might get their ornament today....

I received my other ornament today, and it's gorgeous! Thanks so much Anastasia, it will look so pretty on my 'handmade ornaments' tree. AND, how in the world did you know I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those chocolates? Sorry they're not in the picture, they are HIDDEN! hee hee hee ha ha ha lolo.. Thanks. :thumbup:

Hugs

Just beautiful Oksewnsew!!

Happy Halloween!
 

Be nice to the little goblins and ghosts tonight [ATTACH=CONFIG]373738[/ATTACH]

Very nice ornaments all! I feel so bad for all who have been so negatively impacted by hurricane Sandy....I am thankful Krystyna and her family are safe, will continue praying for her and all the others who face challenges ahead with all the damage that was done...

Opps, I forgot to take a photo or even put my screen name on my package.

It is not a tree ornament, but I hope the recipient likes it.

There is a little extra in the box as well.

It will take 7-9 days to get to my recipient.

I'm hitting the deadline.....just by a hair....lol :D
Mine are going in the mail tomorrow.
I had to add a couple of things, etc.

Beautiful ornaments Qbee! Maybe 1 is coming to Florida!

I'm going to try and sneak away to the post office tomorrow. I have my ornaments all done, but with Sandy blowing through our area hard we ended up with water in our basement. First time since we moved here 6 years ago. Something with the generator and the electrical setup a "friend" did years ago. Anyway, I've been in the basement for the last 2 days mopping. Tomorrow will be more cleaning but if DH turns his head long enough I'm sneaking out to the postoffice...hehehe. Want my ornament recipients to get theirs on time. If I don't get them sent tomorrow, it will definately be on Friday as I go back to work and can sneak away then.

Love all the pictures. I want to take one of the ones I received already and post them but haven't had time. Will get to that soon, promise!!!!!!

Hehehe cause I like those chocolates and even though some women claim to not like chocolate, I assume those women are aliens and all other true women will also love those chocolates :D

What kind of tree do you folks put up as an all year round tree? I would like to do this.

Great Anastasia you nailed it with that one. Sure wish there were more photos of received ornaments its so nice to see what you have gotten. Good ideas for next year!
I was wondering the same thing what tree would you leave out all year? a feather tree? or a wooden one? wire? and where do you keep this tree?

no ornies for le brat here.. still waiting. better hold off on that all year tree, sigh nothing to put on it..

Oksewnsew I received my ornaments and I just love them. I love the dove and the jewels/beads on it. The christmas tree is beautiful. Thank you so much for them. Can't wait to put the tree up.thank you

That is a pretty ornament Anastasia, now how do you do that? Where is the pattern to make those? Would love to make a few for my craft show.

MINE ARE IN THE MAIL TODAY! I put two in because I could not decide which ones to send. I know, supposed to do one, but did not pack any chocolate in the envelope or any other goodies. I did remember a note which I am grateful I did. That is generally the hard thing for me to remember.

Yes, Alicia, I received yours over the weekend. I will take pic's when I receive others.

thanks so much

Robinlee

REMEMBER TO MAIL OUT YOUR ORNAMENTS IF YOU HAVEN"T DONE SO YET:thumbup:

I could not even pack the Halloween candy in the envelope because DH hid it from me so I could not eat any and break my diet.

When i worked at the casket co. I kept up a white tree from Jan. To Nov.
i made ornaments for each months holiday.
white tree like a christmas tree made a matching tree skirt, and lights for that season or holiday 3 1/2" high.
After turkey day, the green went up with christmas deco.s
All the men thought i was crazy...then every month, the candy and cookies would change with the tree.
for some strange reason, they always came into my room for a visit...a few times a day.

lynnie how tall was your white tree?

JuneBillie - I put up a wrought iron tree. I found it on one of my trips to PA for fabric. It is shaped like a cone (tree) with rings every foot or so. There is an iron star at the top. DH got me zip ties and I zip tied clear lights to its "ribs". The light string is dark brown so it blends in. Right now there is also a string of autumn lights on it, that have leaves, squash and corn. Found them at JoAnn's in the summer. I have Shammrock lights, easter egg lights, flip flop lights and heart lights. I use just the clear ones that are on it at Christmas. And I'm always looking for different lights after the holidays. I'll try and take a picture and post it so you can see.

My tress were 3" to 3-1/2" high. My office was only about 16 x 16.
my sewing room was about 25' sq.with a hugh 10' sq table in the middle to lay out things.

Chq i had those lights. Wasnt extra fun to find them lillian vernon always something neat for the trees

I have sent both ornaments out,you should receive soon. I have received one! a bell and a cat! Waiting for 2cd one,hopefully soon.

Cuppy,
Thank-you for the lovely cross stitch santa oranament. You did such beautiful needlework!!! Can't wait to put up my tree and hang the ornament.
Take care and have a good day

Those are the ones where you take a styrofoam (smooth kind) ball and you draw segments, then cut on your line, then shove the fabric in. As you can see in that pic one of the segments got a little too much glue. You don't have to use glue but I painted a little on, it helped keep the fabric from just sliding from side to side as I shoved. But that was the one I mentioned where I said I was shoving just to the side of my line and made a groove that didn't belong so then I hotglued the trim over the segment joints. They weren't even remotely equally segmented out cause I suck at that. I found youtube videos for those. You can just search youtube for fabric ornaments and look in the list for the ball ones that dont' look like the folded stars. Though you can find the folded star ones on there as well. they're so easy.

Cuppy THANK YOU for my cross-stich ornament i love it....

You can have a small christmas tree up year round about 3ft tall and decorate with pink and red hearts for valentines
day,and St .Patricks day with coins,shamrocks, green hats,for Easter with easter eggs,flowers,small baskets,4th of July flags,stars,Haloween pumpkins, fall leaves, etc. The craft stores also carry small foam shapes in plastic tubs that have a sticky side you can punch a hole at the top of the foam shapes and hang from the trees with ornament hooks.
Note: Dont stick the foam shapes to glass.Or you will spend a lot of time removing them.Lesson learned!!
