Nov-Dec catch-up: Ornament Exchange

I finally have photos to show of the ornament exchange I wrote about here. What a privilege to participate and receive these small packages in the mail at holiday time! I wish mail deliveries were always so full of fun!

First to arrive was Deirdra's super sparkly snowflake girl.


Next was Michelle's adorable wood cutout owl.


Sarah's lamb. I'm sorry the photo doesn't capture how sparkly it is.

Reenie's joyful painted paper assemblage. Love those baubles!


Amanda's glittery origami star. I need to learn how to make these!

Mystele's stitched and embellished paper ornament.
The artwork is from one of her beautiful paintings.


And last but definitely NOT least, Janne made these gorgeous
little hand-bound books with a REAL bark cover. Inside she hand-printed
the Norwegian words to Silent Night. What a treasure!

Below is my offering to the ornament exchange: stitched, stuffed, and painted angels.









And finally, *SPOILER ALERT!* If you are Marilyn and you haven't received your package yet, don't peek below! I finally, FINALLY finished Marilyn's purse. (Yay! I can check off number 12 on my 51 things list!) I hope she'll like it!

I´m so glad you liked my little book. Does faux mean fake? Because the birch-bark isn´t fake. It´s the real deal :-) Your package hasn´t arrived yet. Nor Mystele´s. I´m waiting with excitement! Your angels really are so beautiful!

I just got your package in the mail today man, it´s taken it´s own sweet time! But wow, how absolutely adorable! She´s so lovely!!! I´ll hang her in my studio-room window, so I can look at her. She doesn´t need to wait until next Christmas to be appreciated, that´s for sure!!!
