I recently attended an ornament exchange. I had never participated in one before. We each made enough ornaments for all of us to go home with one.
I love each ornament that was given to me.
In no particular order:
Megan's- Go and venture in the woods. Cute a branch, drill a hole, and find some string. It's so rustic and simple, I love it!!
Robyn's - Can you believe that underneath that Ho, Ho, Ho, pretty paper is part of a paint stick that she just painted?? Genius!!
Kendra's - Two cinnamon sticks tied together with pretty material. This ornament smells so GOOD!!
Kasey's - I just bought 1 1/2 inch ribbon, cut it to 1 yard, took a needle and some string and threaded it through every 1 inch on one side of the ribbon and then pulled tight. The middle piece is actually a clip on earring. I just tore the back part off, and hot glued it onto the ribbon.
Jen's - Felt stockings with cute felt embellishments. So pretty.
Jess's - It's a snowman!! She hand painted the face on a clear ball, and stuffed it with tinsel.
Holly's - Her star ornament is made out of card stock paper!! With a little bit of glue and time you can make one too. You can find out how she made this ornament HERE. It's beautiful.
Liza's- ceramic candy cane, decorated with ribbon!! My kids love to look at this ornament on the tree. The silver ribbon sparkles against the lights.
Rudy's - Window pane. It reminds me of Christmas morning. We would always look out our window to see if there was snow on the ground. You actually set it on a branch.
Valerie's- Baby Jesus. I know she used a little bit or garland, Moss, felt for the blanket, and a wooden ball for baby Jesus face.She coiled wire around a pencil or market for the star. A great reminder of the reason for the season!
Alicia 's - Darling ribbon flowers with embellishments. Very creative and cute.
Do you have a favorite?

I don't think I could pick a favorite, they're all beautiful in their own way :)
These are cute! I've done one for the past four years and I love it. We draw out of a hat and only go home with 6 so sometimes I don't go home with the ones I want.
I like all of them ~ I think I might make the tree myself... and I know where to get ideas for 2011!
I love this idea!!! I wish I had fun friends like you here!!! You are always putting together awesome parties! =) Maybe I should start being awesome like you! =)
MISS YOU!!!
Cute idea. I really like Holly's star. They all turned out well.
What cute ornaments. Love the snowman. Too cute.
