Thank you soooo much Sue (Junebug). I love the ornaments. This Christmas I am all into glitter, so the Joy ornament stands out to me. Thank you also for the stickers and candycane bag. Way to cute!!!
Thank you Allison. Love it all!
Thank you Heather. The bead angel is beautiful.
Here were mine to my farmgirl friends. Hope you like them.
I'll post HeatherB's when I know she got them.
Thank you all again!
Have a good day!

Laurie,
I was so thrilled today when I got home and my ornament had arrived. It is so precious and I'm anxious to hang it on the tree when we get it up - hopefully this weekend. Thank you so much for the cute little stocking with the candy. I have put candy canes on our tree for years - I love peppermint cause to me it just says Christmas. And no one can ever have too much chocolate. Thanks so much for everything - it was so sweet of you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hugs, Chris

Ooh yay! The mail lady brought me a wonderful package today!! Hubby brought it in and knew I was waiting for it so of course, he had to tease me...lol
It had the most beautiful felt ornaments in it!One is a marroon felt square with a sweet embroidered Christmas tree and too cute french knots making up the ornaments and the other is a smaller marroon felt square with the prettiest appliqued star on it.
Just adorable! I am glad tomorrow is Thanksgiving so Friday I can put up my tree and use these sweets!!
Thank you Brenda! They are just perfect and I love love love them!! :D
hugs,
Jessie

Oh my! I received my very special ornament package from Jessie today!!!!
She will tell you that I thought she had made a mistake and sent me a package meant for someone else! lol!
Right on top there was the most beautiful ornament! She crocheted a cover for a blue glass ornament ball, and let me tell you it is gorgeous! It is so intricate looking, and I can tell she really has a talent for that! As soon as we have our tree up it will go front and center. How do you think she knew my favorite color is blue?!!
I'm not done yet! ;) She also included an adorable handmade tea cozy that will be in my purse at all times, a beautiful crocheted dishcloth in autumn colors, that I don't want to use yet, just look at, a packet of coffee, the sweetest frosted glass votive candle holder, and a wonderful pattern for mini apron ornaments!
It brought tears to my eyes to know how thoughtful she was with this package! She made a long day for me turn into early Christmas!
Thank you so much Jessie! :)

I will definitely try to get some pictures! My camera is older, and sometimes pics don't turn out great, but I will see what I can do!
Unless Jessie, you happen to have pics?!!

Ladies! I am so sorry to tell you that my ornaments came back to me today!!! And I have no idea why because I took them into the post office and paid for postage at the counter! So I will be going back to the post office on Monday to find out why they came back to me and hopefully send them back out! I'm sorry to my swap partners, but know that they are done and *trying* to make their way to you!!!!

Melissa I had that happen to me a few times as well. Strange but indeed. Paid postage at the PO and STILL came back DUH!!
My ornament will be in the mail tomorrow, sorry for being later but the flu...y'all know about that.

Melissa, that's okay, I don't have my tree up yet, lol!!!
That's too bad that they came back to you.... my mail person always makes it a point to tell me that if mail comes back, too bad, you have to pay again, they won't do a thing to help! :(
That's what happened a few years ago, when my daughter was living in Wales, and my Christmas package to her got lost. In March it ended up back at my house, and when I went to the post office they refused to send it unless I paid them the $25.00 again!!!! I was so mad! Apparently the post office is always right!

Sometimes the PO makes me so mad! But what can you do? I'll just have to go back there tomorrow morning and see what can be done! Thanks for the patience ladies! I hope you all like your ornaments, when they reach you!

Futters/Michelle,
I need to give you a BIG SORRY!. I confused my swap deadlines and just got your ornament mailed out. I apologize sincerely. When you open the box, gently take the stuffing out......some of the parts of the ornament could get snagged. I hope you like it!

Hi Merry, Your ornament arrived while I was away for Thanksgiving! My neighbor picked it up! It is lovely! The stitching and bead work are perfect! Thank you!
Yours is all packed up and I will mail it tomorrow (priority). FYI yours arrived with postage due, but no biggie!
Also, my neighbor has the same name as you! Her name is Merry too!
I hope you like what I made. My mother and I used to make them together and she died this past May. I signed up to do the swap to get me "off my duff and back in the game" - and it worked! I had fun painting it at my dear Mom's art desk and using her sewing machine too (she was a Farmgirl at heart too)! I really felt her there right along side me while I worked!
Merry Christmas, Merry! |
