Oh, wow! Amazing pictures! I love ALLLL the ornaments! Your trees and owls are super cute! And I love the tin star (go figure…) and the little star string. I’m terrible—probably could not remember which ornaments I got in that swap specifically (vs other ornament swaps) and exactly who gave me which ornaments. Thanks for showing everything!

Mailed mine today, AND bought a new white tree to show them off!
My old tree was dark green with white flocking, and everything kind of disappeared in it.

Ooo, a white tree is a great idea! Our big tree and my mini tree are both green. It would be fun to get some more color into things.

Since I am getting in the holiday spirit, I might make next year’s and put it away in my STS box for safekeeping. The previous years gave me some inspiration!

I ransacked my house to find smallish boxes to ship my ornaments in. They’re not super delicate, but I’m afraid they would break if they were just in a padded envelope. So if you’re receiving from me and it looks like I’ve sent you a screen protector, I assure you I have not. Now I just need to stop at the store and grab some padded envelopes. I’ll be shipping tomorrow! I’m excited to send them on their way.

Oof, work has been insane, we roll out a huge new nationwide (in my employer) project management system on Monday, so the last two weeks have been frenzies of training & documentation updates, process updates etc. (I both fear & look forward to Monday - it will be a good tool, but that changeover is going to be rough!) I will have my ornaments packaged by Saturday morning & mailed by noon! I finally gathered all supplies in one place & after work tonight it will be a delight to work on packing up.

Mine were handmade with plaster of paris before painting. I found metal tins and bubble wrap. Hoping that plus FRAGILE helps them arrive safely. GB sent them today. I’ll get tracking info out later. Tonight is a matching band concert and tomorrow is the off-Broadway production of Mrs. Doubtfire, the Musical!

I got some fabulous ornaments today from @Lynx and @Kwality570. Thanks to both of you! I wish my tree was up so I could hang them right away.
I also got a lovely unicorn card from @Kwality570 and a marvelous tin from @Lynx (they obviously know me well — I love unicorns and tins!)
Thanks again!

I already received all of my ornaments! I can’t believe how quick shipping was to receive! Here are the ones I got yesterday and today:
From @Lynx - it was so clever to use a cupcake shaped base! I never would have thought of that! It’s so beautiful!
From @Kwality570 - the cutest little monster! The colors are so vibrant, and I love the multicolored strands in the hanger. The texture on the features really makes everything pop. It’s amazing!
From @Dfabbric - the most meme-y and perfectly embroidered ornament. The cork base is so cool, and it just makes me happy.
Thank you all so much to all my partners! And thank you to @endymion for restarting this swap and hosting! I can’t wait for next year.

I’ve received 3 ornaments so far; @Lynx (hubbys fave because it looks like Hawaii), @endymion 's Joy, and @Tapestry 's patchwork heart that looks like stained glass.
Love them all!
