I have been working on ornaments for my tree now & have gotten SO MANY great ideas from you talented ladies.

These swap ornaments will always hold a dear place in my heart when I unpack them over the years.
We moved a lot the last several years & have very few ornaments to show for it. Before all the moves I had a tradition of making a set of ornaments every year & making another with the kids. It has been such a pleasure to resume that tradition & feel like it is something we'll be able to keep track of.

We're going to try to decorate our first eggs on Friday afternoon. (My sons love the decorated eggs.)
I think our pullet eggs will be fun to pull out next year when we unload the ornaments, too & see how much bigger (hopefully) their eggs are.
Any tips from you pros? We're going to use decopage glue, some glitter, and some scrap booking decals, and ribbon to do our entry level eggs. Does that sound about right?

Still haven't heard from one of my swap senders. (Absolutely NOT a problem. The fun part for me has been making the ornaments, sending them out, seeing what everyone got - but MOSTLY getting to know you all better.)​
 
I've been SO busy with the holidays and everything I just picked up more boxes tuesday evening. My ornaments will go out today I swear it!!


I also got an ornament from bzbrown that I love! Its an adorable fabric chicken! Bzbrown love the fabric you chose.

Thanks, reesepoultry! I was at work (this is a KUR-RAY-ZEE couple of weeks at the restaurant).

No worries about when ornaments get here - we still don't have a tree & with work the way it is I have NO IDEA when I am going to be able to do that (or anything else

).
I've had so much fun with the swap already, I'm just glad I participated.
 
I think it will be Weds/Thursday before I can get a tree. The chef where I work is very disorganized & it trickles down to me at the most inopportune times.
