I've participated in this swap for the past 3 years but missed this year due to an upcoming move. I've enjoyed seeing all the beautiful ornaments that everyone made. I will definitely join next year! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

They were a delight to make and I dare say I will make them again some time, but definitely not before this Christmas!

Picture 1 is of what I sent in the package and picture 2 is a close up view of the birds after they were made.

Oh Betty, I'm so glad you posted those pictures! Your birds are gorgeous. True labors of love. I am just amazed at all of the beautiful felt ornaments you make.

Oh ladies, I am not part of the swap this year. But, think I will put some type of reminder on my phone to join next year. Your ornaments are all so inspiring. Keep the pictures coming. It's like going to my own Christmas Quilt Show only with ornaments.

I was so inspired that I checked out all the prior years Ornament exchanges also. So sorry I missed out on all this fun. But, have been creating a little fun in my own backyard making ornaments.

Thanks for inspiring me with your talent.

I am enjoying looking at all the beautiful tree ornaments and other goodies as I wait for mine to be opened and hoping she likes it.

Each year my sister (Kirsty "immemother") and I get together to open our Ornament swaps, this year my parcel arrived from what appeared to be Singapore, but once I started opening my package it turned out it was actually from Kirsty. It was a total surprise and it never crossed my mind it could be from her. Here are photos of my beautiful ornaments.

These are so pretty. Are they lace or beaded? I couldn't tell. They would look like real snowflakes that floated down on your tree like magic. They look so delicate. Beautiful job!

Omg it has been so crazy around here, getting ready to leave for Indiana on Friday, have to have an early Christmas with the kids and grandkids due to me having surgery on the 13th and the Dr said I could not travel at Christmas time :( And on top of that we were not done with the Christmas shopping so we have been rushing to do that and get everything wrapped. Then the furnace quit working Dh got it back to working Thank Goodness, it was our programmable Thermostat, it broke, but we did end up purchasing a new furnace. Anyway thought I had posted my pictures but can't find them if I did. On top of that I sure don't remember who sent them to me and can not find the card that came with it. (think I should have just stayed in bed this MONTH)

Anyway here are the pictures. A Beautiful Victorian Ornament that looks awesome on my tree, material and most important Chocolate!!!! Thank you to whomever sent this.
