Ongoing Ornament Swap 2021 Discussion and Gallery

My attempt at what should have been a layup, (even though I haven’t done it in years) has become a huge disaster. On to the next idea (cannot recover from the shame of the 1st) for @endymion. (Hangs head in shame)

A business of ferrets, a prickle of porcupine, a raft of otters… This is such a fun research spiral… I just keep giggling. Would a group of mosquitos be an annoyance or a blood bank?

An annoyance for sure and the person being bitten would be the blood bank :smiley:

They have started asking me this too here in Australia.
Yes, that very squishy package is just paper, thankyou very much.

What?!?

I’m so glad they arrived! My poor silly brain insisted that birds in hats would want to hang out in a hat.

At another post office today, I mentioned the first lady who mangled my envelope and this employee said she knows a fellow who was sending a valuable collector card in an envelope from the other post office and lost it when the lady started twisting it trying to figure out if it was more than paper. Seems she has a reputation in this area.
