Thanks, I would love to see a pic if you take one. Your tree sounds interesting, and has given me ideas to keep an eye out for when I am in different places.

oH NO if you guys got Anastasias pretty ornaments and cool boxes THEN I AM NOT GETTING ONE ahhhhh. ok stay calm your getting ornies soon.. Santa can't have forgotten me.. hope hope hope.. hey can I have one of those candies? they look delicious

Hey eliza...
i love your new avatar!!!!!!!!

Getting antsy, my parterners should be getting their ornaments soon.

I am the lucky repentant of these beautiful ornaments

For anyone who would like to send a card or an RAK to Krystyna I am going to post the address... Melissa asked that you put RAK on the outside of the envelope along with your name and board name... The mail will go to her house..
She really has no place to store things right now so thinking that maybe once she gets settled we could all do her a FQ shower... Some people may have other ideas... We all need to pray that thinkgs get better and Thank God they all made it through all this....
Would love to see everyone send a card note whatever so she knows we are all praying and care...

Please send me a PM if you want the address.


God Bless
Rosemary

What a great idea!! Maybe with a gift card enclosed!!

RAK?????? what is that?

THANK YOU JABA!!!! I just LOVE my reindeer and you were sweet to send me one:thumbup:

Thank you to terriquilt1 and pat625 for the ornaments I received.

The first is a picture (finally) of the ornaments I received from Pat. Aren't they cute?

The second is from Terri and in addition to the great gingerbread ornament, I received a fat quarter and candy (yum).

Im sorry i cant contribute at this time, recovering from surgery ...again, but count me in for the shower and gift card.

I loved them and having them hanging from the mantel so I don't forget to put them on the tree. The dove will go straight to the top. I knew I would get it sooner or later with everyone posting they mailed theirs. I love the embroidery one too. At least you had a good laugh.

I see more beautiful ornament. This sure was a fun swap.

You're welcome Brenda, I appreciate you hosting. Lots of time, effort and patience involved!!:thumbup:

Rosemary,
Keep us posted on her progress. I had an idea...we all seemed to have made extra ornaments, why not send one to her so that they will have some decorations on the tree for Christmas? That's if they have a place by then. If not, the idea of a FQ shower for a housewarming I think is just great! Or both!

Cindy, what a wonderful idea. Even if she doesnt have a tree, just the thought that her qb friends reaching out to will give her some comfort. Then years from now, amongst the horror of the memories of the storm, she will see and remember the beauty of the ornaments of love. I think we all should have an extra one we can send her. Thanks for this great idea,, in her time of need,that we can all chip in for a bit of sunshine for her.

Yep, sending Krystyna an ornament if you can is an awesome idea! I know that there a few different things on the board going on for her and I think is one more AWESOME IDEA!!

Thank You Lauara for a beautiful ornament cross-stich i love!!! And no it is not to big, I love it!!!!!

Just spoke with dotty (dotcomdtcm)
Shes o.k.
Im donating cute stuffed animals for kids (safty eyez only).
Dotty has a bunch of quilts she is working on with a bunch of friends to donate to Krytyna.
dotty lives about 30-45 min away, so shell be delivering to her personally, so we know it will get to the rightpeople.
a big thumbs up to Dotty and her group of quilters that will be helping in this area.
(((((Hugs))))).

I was wondering, if Santa is holding onto my ornaments because I am a brat sometimes? I checked the mail box again today and bent down to look inside and said HELLOOOOOO and it said nothing in here but us dust bunnies.. AGAIN it said it again.. I think I will just stop looking. then maybe magic will happen and my ornament swappers will sneak me an ornament! magic! I believe in magic. just not today. no magic today :(

You are welcome, I am happy my quilting pals like your cross stitch ornament. This is a nice swap .

cuppy

Mine are sent. Not to sure they will measure up to all i have seen but my dang ra would not let me complete the one i have been working on. But i will get those finished and send out as well when i do. so to my two pal you will be getting another package later.

Elisabrat, I promised you snowflakes for your tree, and they will be going in the mail tomorrow, I think. I just have to trim them up a bit and then hang gold strings on them, and you will be able to enjoy some gold snowflakes.

Hey brat...please show us what you get, last year i got those pretty crocheted snowflakes,
I need to learn how to make them.
They woukd look so nice hanging in a window.

They are the same ones I made for the ornament swap; made on the embroidery machine. But these are with gold organza, gold thread. They are almost ready to mail.

Girls I just did some texting with Krystyna this afternoon, right now she has no place to put things, may I suggest you all make a little place in a drawer or a box and put things in it that you wuold like her to have. FQ's, Ornaments things like that and as soon as they have someplace semi-permanet or permanet we can send them, possibly one of us can collect them all... I really don't think it's a great idea to send things now, cards yes, she can read those and put in an envelope if she wants to keep them... Most of you don't realize what it's like... I didn't go through it totally but was in a Hurricane when I first moved to Florida, I'm still afraid of the wind... 2 doors down from us the water was up 3 foot in thier house,, We were blessed we stayed dry... I cooked and fed and helped people with wash etc... John went and helped rebuild a neighbor's whold downstairs he didn't have insurance... I reall consider all those people who lived close by lucky as they were alive and did have an upstairs to sleep in and were able to get rebuilt in no time, very little mold etc... Where Krystyna and other friends are, they aren't so lucky,,, maybe lucky to have a place to sleep and water to drink and food to eat but not much else... Save the fancy things for when things are better for her... bright cards and lots of smilely faces on them... Lot of love can be tucked in a card... She knows you care....

Hugs and GodBless
Rosemary

Got my second package of ornaments earlier this week. Couldnt post about them then since internet was out and just came back yesterday. The envelope had a name on it but no card. So whoever you are there are great and will look wonderful on my tree. Thanks so much, its was so good to get a little pick me up during the aftermath of dear ol Sandy. Will post pics tomorrow maybe have to charge camera.

Thank you miss starshine for the cuties candycane it was knitted can't wait to hang it above fire place ,sorry I can't post pic ,,,,iam on a phone,

I put a little tag on my ornies I received ,who their from and the year,and if the world don't end this year I will be adding next year's to lololol

The ornaments here some crochetted, some knitted, some quilted, hand stitched, machine embroidered, ball ornaments with pretty sequins and fabric.. wooden deer :) and all sorts of others that i surely missed. It is so fun to see how different they are. Idea central. What a great book: Handmade Ornaments by Quilting Board Members.. sheesh how to's on each page we could get rich! I bought a felt ornament book Fa la la felt Ornaments for some ridiculous amount of cash and it has 20 or so different ornaments in it. Great pictures but sure would have liked more ideas for the money. lots of modern ideas .. we have tons of variety here! so good for you ladies (and gentlemen?) we are fantastic (grin). Oh and grann of 6 makes beautiful ornaments out of the lace they are worthy of hanging in the window all winter long as snowflakes dont end at Christmas up here in the mountains.

Brat, that's a nice idea, but what would we do with the proceeds?? Who would organize putting the book together?

What a great idea. I have a suggestion. We have the Secret Santa going on here on the board & there's a few of us in this swap that are in that one. Why don't we put together SS packages for her? Well, you get the idea anyway. As we collect things or make things, get or make an extra to send to her for when she has someplace to light. You're right, she'll appreciate it more then.

My son was in line eight hrs yesterday, car died twice.
when we send thngs to Krystina, lets not to forget small toiletries like q tips, asprin bandaids. These things add up and eat into your food budget.when she is settled we can even get her a giftcard for the food store.
That craft books sounds like a great idea. Something to think about next yr.
Money proceeds...to either the people whos ornies are in the book or
a fund...hurricane survivors.
Any way, im getting down from my soapbox.
own people like Krystina

One has recieved hers from me several days ago but no word yet. The other one was notifed but not sure where it is!!!

I started the 2012 Ornament Swap Photo Album in the Picture section...here is the thread
