Ornament Exchange

I participated in an ornament exchange sponsored by Marsha at Marsha's Musings.  We were given partners and were able to look at their blogs and determine what kind of ornament we wanted to send them.  I decided what to do but it took me longer that I expected it would to complete it.  I received my ornament from my exchange partner Kathi, a few days before sent mine to her.  Kathi makes mini dollhouses with all of the tiny creative details.  Her blog is called Beautiful Mini Blessings.

Here is the ornament she made for me. 


 Isn't all of the detail lovely?  This kind of art work I would not have the patience to do.  The pictures don't show you how pretty it really is.  Visit Kathi and see the picture she took before sending it to me.

I sent her an ornament done in cross-stitch.  My eyesight is not what it used to be so this took longer to complete then I expected.


You won't want to miss Marsha's virtual Christmas Tree to see the other ornaments given in this exchange.  Visit the other blogs linked to Marsha's post and get a closer look at some beautiful ornaments.

  8. Awww....I wish I would have known. I wonder if it's too late to have one now. It's so close to Christmas and people are probably frantic.

    I love both ornaments and think they are adorable!

  13. Hi Sherry,
    thank you very much for your kind comment on my blog. I loved participating in Marsha's ornament exchange and you were right, the ornaments I received from my swap partner DeeDee will be treasured year after year. Especially the santa-bulb she made for me is gorgeous - and vice versa she got the first of my bears that touched American ground (lol). Your blog is lovely and the ornament you made for Kathi is fantastic, and so is the one you got from her.

    Greetings from Germany
