Description:

Yeah, I know...it's January. :) I thought we might have some fun making and exchanging through the year and by December, have a nice collection to add to our trees. What we'll do is send ONE ornament to ONE person. The ornament MUST be handmade, in whatever craft you like to do. It can be papercrafted, painted, cross-stitched, crocheted, plastic canvas, or whatever. Please send something Christmasy and that you would be proud to hang on your own tree. You'll have 2 weeks once names are assigned to complete and mail your creation.

If there's enough interest, we'll do this again in April, June, August, and October.

To join, you must have a 4 or higher rating and a profile filled out. Newbies are welcome with a completed profile and an e-mail address. If you're a newbie, I'll be e-mailing you to be sure the e-mail works. You'll need to respond in order to remain in the swap.

If you have more than one no-send and feel you've been unfairly rated, contact me with the details.

If you have questions, please ask!

Let's keep Christmas with us all through the year. :)

This is an international swap.

Okay, even though it's just over, I still need a little Christmas!
I'll be traveling when the "send to" list comes out and will just barely be back when the "send by" due date arrives but I'll get it done!!!!!!!!!!!

i am all swapped out this month, i wouldnt be able to make the send date.... but i will be sure to sign up the next time around, i was actually thinking of doing something similar because it was so much fun last time(even though i didnt get all my swaps:()

this is a good idea last year I had my daughters small xmas tree and this year had a big one when I went in my stuff I found out all my items for my big tree went to another state with my daughter so I have nothing left for my tree so need to get items for it so next year when my two year old can enjoy it. wouldnt mind doing it every month.

I just finished making my ornament tonight :)

I'm in...it sounds like so much fun and I'm still in the Christmas mood, too :o) I don't have a rating yet but I've sent two swaps out so far in swap-bot. You can see what I sent on my flicker page :o)

I'm planning on making a ceramic snowflake for this swap. I wanted to send it out for the ornament swap before the holidays but didn't get it done in time. This is perfect timing for an ornament swap! I hope it's successful so we can have more of them!

user5760 01/27/2007 #

I'm ready to mail mine! It's a cutie...where do I send it??

user5618 01/28/2007 #

RobinT, your ceramic snowflake sounds completely gorgeous and intriguing. I can't pinpoint what to make yet. I did make a Christmas tree that sits on a table, but I like it the way it is and can't seem to make myself put a hanger on it to make it into an ornament.

I just completed a little cross-stitch for my first one - it will be going out as soon as our partners are assigned...

sojourner 02/ 1/2007 #

I make felt ornaments for my family and friends so I have one ready to go.

whisperwings: Yours will be in the mail tomorrow. Given the distance it has to travel --- and the inimitable ineptitude of our postal service --- it may take a while to get there! Tassy

I received my ornament a couple of days ago from thefunkypainter, I love it especially the color. Thank you.

Simsan 02/12/2007 #

Wigglywourms I sent you package Feb 6 - hope you got it. It didn't even dawn on me that I'd be filling out custom forms :-)

user5618 02/12/2007 #

Hi Amy aka pumpkinvine! I sent out your package today. Hope you enjoy!

I would really enjoy seeing what everyone has made so please post a pic if you can! Thx.

Tassy, your ornament arrived today. Canada to Australia 10 days! Photo posted. Thank you for your lovely cross stitch, stickers and card.

TerryF 02/15/2007 #

You're very welcome whisperwings. (That was fast!)

wigglywourms 02/16/2007 #

Simsan the package arrived today and I love the little birds. Thank you so much! They are beautiful and I'm going to have to check out the pattern on your blog...you've inspired me.

Tassy...I was your partner and I mailed out your ornament today (Feb. 15th) I should have mailed it sooner because it may take over a week (I'm in BC) but it's been a crazy few weeks around here. It's on it's way now though...I hope you like it :o)

you\'re welcome, Tassy...I so glad that you liked it :o)

I guess i am not getting my package, Janice has not sent her last 4 swaps :o(

TerryF 02/24/2007 #

1CrazyQuilter: I thought it might just be that Janice is sending from the UK, which takes longer, but then one of her UK partners also gave her a 1. I would be happy to send you an ornament if you email me your address through Swap-Bot. Please note though, that it may take a few weeks coming from Canada. T.
