For our final ornament of the year, we will make an altered spool ornament.
You will need an old wooden spool that thread came on or a new one that can be purchased at craft stores. A large or small one will do..
*********************************************************************
Partners:
Beth--Marlee
Connie --Ruth
Phyllis--Maddie
Trish--Linda Jo
Here are the directions:
You will alter or change the appearance of a wooden spool and decorate it for Christmas...
You can add to the spool to make it larger
You can add beads or glitter to bedazzle the spool
You can add paper, paint just anything you want to add to make it all Christmasy and bright!!
This sign up will end Nov 26th and mail out will be December 9th.
Go ahead and start finding your spool and decorating it so it can be ready to mail out!!
When partners are assigned, you will email your partner and ask for their address, then you will share yours...
Have fun and Merry Christmas!!!
You can never be to kind! |

I loved this! I made a Snowman out of three different vintage spool sizes, Glittered the whole thing white, and made a Hat and Scarf from a finger of a red wool glove. Button Mittens glued to a pipe cleaner made perfect arms. Never heard from my partner, after several emails to see if she liked it or not, and never received an ornament. Mailed one to my God-Daughter at the same time and she lives in Colorado, so they have lots of snow, she loved it! Forgot to take a pic! Trish yours was beautiful!!

This is the first swap I have ever been late on. I was at relatives on Vashon Island and had to choose between the post office and being early for the ferry. I didn't want chance it, making us wait 2 hours for the next ferry, and I didn't want to mail it on the island, because the mail goes on a boat, and I figured it would be faster to priority it from the mainland Monday, or today if I can find an PO open.
Anyways sorry Linda. I've had it done for a long time, I was just trying to mail all my December swaps at once.
