Ornament Exchange 2016

For the last 6 years I have participated  in an ornament exchange.  These two are the first that I have received for this year.  they are so cute.  

The Nativity comes from Nicole, Boise ID

This Santa Globe came from Brandie, Mesa AZ.

Every year they are so creative and I enjoy going to the mail box and finding a new ornament.

Ornament exchange #6

I got the last ornament today.  It had two ornaments in it.  They are both glass.  I don't have very good experience with glass ornaments they tend to get broken very easily.  hopefully I can keep this from happening. 

One is Gold metallic painted.

The other silver metallic painted.

If you look closely to the tree you will see that after more than 25 days this tree is still super green.  I feed this tree water every day.  It used to drink a gallon a day.  after two weeks it went to two quarts. Now it is about one quart of water.  It is slowing down but the tree is still so beautiful and feels so fresh. It has been a good Ornament exchange and I can not wait for the next years ornament exchange. 

Merry Christmas.

ornament Exchange #5

This cute star ornament came today.  I did need to glue one stick back on that had fallen off but it is as good as new.

Ornament exchange #4

This little lady snowman came today.  I believe she is made of polymer clay. Its a little bit bigger than a quarter but smaller than a silver dollar.

 

The ornament came in this cute tin box.  

Ornament Exchange #2 & #3

These are #2 & #3 ornaments that I have received this week.  

You can never go wrong with nativities.

Ornament Exchange 2015 are arriving #1

I got my first ornament today from the Exchange I participate in every year.

When I opened the box the ornament was broken. It is a glass ornament.

I have plastic ones and so I just transferred everything into the plastic one and its as good as new.

Well this one is not round like the one that came, but It works just the same.

I can not wait for the rest of them to come.

I love ornament exchanges

 I love ornament exchanges.  This is what I have made for this years ornament exchange.  

I know this looks too easy but they looked so cute and I learned new ways to fill plastic ornaments so that is always fun.

Thanks to Pinterest everything is possible right?

More ornaments from ornament exchange

This snowflake came from Tiffany C. of Garland, UT. It was marked fragile and it had a big foot print on the package.  It broke a little but I fixed it and it is good to go.

This cool Micky ornament came from the Christa P. of West Valley City, UT.  She said this ornament is inspired by the fact that they are going on a Disney cruse in the new year.  Must be nice.

This little EWE was made by the host of the ornament exchange Wendy G. of Battle Ground, WA.  She is always so creative with wood.  You should check out her Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/wellgood?ref=shop_sugg.

I only have a few more to wait for.  

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas 

Ornament exchange ornaments have started to arrive

So I have started receiving ornaments from the online exchange that I participated in.

This cute baby Jesus came from Nicole C, Boise ID. She makes them for her primary class every year.

This Reindeer is from Amy J., Syraouse UT.

 The penguin comes from Amy T. Rifle CO.

The tree is from Christie L. Spanish Fork UT.

The Snow flake is from Kimberly J. Tremonton, UT.  This guy came with Snow in a can. So cute.

This tree was made by a three year old little girl, Shaelee, Placentia, CA.  Some of the beads came off so my five year old helped me put them back on.  Now she says this is hers because she fixed it.
