I participated in two Christmas Ornament exchanges this year.
I received two beautifully beaded ornaments from Marcy in WI. I really am impressed with those who do beaded projects as it's not my forte.
Kim E. in IA also sent me a beaded ornament. I stocking with a little snowman embellished with a star.
Until next time...
This one went to Marina in Canada. I received the sweetest 'thank you' email from her telling me she has it hanging in her kitchen for all to see.

Your snowman ornament and pillow are wonderful! Beautiful finishes. I love the pillow especially. The colors in the fabric coordinate perfectly with the stitching.
Everything is just gorgeous!
Yes, you have been very busy!

What beautiful variety in these ornament exchanges.

Wonderful exchanges! Very talented artists!
Love your ornaments. The way you finish them is so creative. I'm so jealous. And you really did well on the receiving end too.

You received some lovely ornaments! I love the beaded one from Marcy (I was the lucky recipient of one of them too!) I would love to learn to do that. Your finishing on the snowman ornament is so cute!
Great job on those ornaments! I saw something like those snowflakes at Joann's so I may have to steal your idea!
The beaded work you received is beautiful!
What great exchanges! Love the ones you did and received. Thanks for sharing.
Great exchange gifts made and received.
