ornamental goodness

I'm playing catch-up at my house right now; doing all the things I wanted to do when I was working nights. So, posting around has been sparse. Now, though, it'll be back to your regularly scheduled shebeest daily blog-fix!

As I said on Thursday, I finished the ornaments for my first-ever swap. Here they are in their finished state:



Once I started addressing the envelopes, I realized I had somehow made one ornament too few.Uh ... oops! Fortunately, I had started making one for myself. I finished it up right-quick, and then packaged them all up in pretty star paper before unceremoniously stuffing them into mailing pouches.


Here's a close-up of the tag I quickly put together:



I really loved doing this swap, and I think I'll be getting into more of them in the near future. I'll post pics of the ornaments I have received once they find a home on our (as-yet-uncut) Christmas tree.

What have you been doing to celebrate the season? Show me!

Have you gotten all of your ornaments from the swap? I've only gotten 6 so far.

I just received another one today, so that makes six for me, too.

This is my first swap, so I'm not sure of the rules if someone flubs on sending out their stuff. Perhaps I'll send a note to the organizers next week if the other ornaments don't show up soon. *shrugs*
