Bwahahahaha

You guys! There’s like 3 or 4 of you that are so close to “claiming everyone!” What a goal! Super star ornament makers in this swap!

FYI. Tomorrow I have to work concessions for a Cross County Invitational Meet after work, so more than likely I will wait to update the swap until Thursday.

OMG, so cute!! I love the tree

[MollyGoRound (Molly)]

You guys are all basically the best group ever. So glad I got involved again. It’s fun to have this to look forward to! Can’t wait to stalk the mailbox some more!

[Tapestry (Jenn)]

Victory is mine! I was able to claim Mollygoround. Woooohoooo!

[Camelama (Real name: Susan)]

Claimed this afternoon, made it tonight! I had an idea pop into my head, made the claim, realized I had all the supplies ready to go, bam! So satisfying!

[AuFish (SD or Summer)]

Ooo love the Lego tree and Minifig hoop!

[Camelama (Real name: Susan)]

Started my 2nd claim tonight too - i had the supplies out and did a first draft of an idea, and it works. Score!

[Cindy]

I’m hoping to make another claim this month but every time I check the thread, there’s been a flurry of claims ending with someone I’ve already claimed. Must keep looking.

[steiconi (textile junkie)]

Please hold off a bit; you’re my last victim…er, target. Er, unclaimed participant. And I can’t claim you until I get these in the mail today or tomorrow!

@Edel’s ornies arrived last night, and they’re wonderful!

An octopus hand-painted on a wonderful chipboard piece

And a fabulous day of the Dead shrine including lotería cards!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Muchas Gracias!

[endymion (Pam 🇺🇸 (she/her))]

Wow! Those are both amazing!

[Edel]

I’m very glad you like them. X

[Camelama (Real name: Susan)]

That octo! Love!! The back is a great match.

I received a charming ornament from @Cindy today!

It’s very special because she actually crafted it many years ago, and it has been hanging on her tree since then. So it’s like a bit of her tree will now hang on mine.

I love looking through Christmas items at garage sales and thrift shops, and frequently pick up vintage handmade pieces, so this one really speaks to me. Thanks, @Cindy!

[Tapestry (Jenn)]

I recieved a cute frog in a magician’s hat ornament from @Lynx! Thank you!

[Camelama (Real name: Susan)]

Ha! It made me laugh. Cute!

[endymion (Pam 🇺🇸 (she/her))]

Awww, super cute froggie!

[AIMR (Linda -2023 is a use the good stuff year! :us:)]

What a fabulous idea to put an ornament on a clothespin! I bet my cats couldn’t knock that one off!

Very cute!

[AuFish (SD or Summer)]

Wow! Love the details on those ornaments. The dragons are awesome!
