Christmas ornament swap 2015
#411
inmemother, your fabrics are soo pretty!
Robinlee, your goodies are soo nice! I am a little confused...I thought we weren't supposed to open them before the agreed upon date? ****Hint to whomever is sending to me...you might not want to send a package too early...it might be too tempting? LOL!
Favorite ornaments??? That's a hard one! Growing up, we didn't really have tons of ornaments on our tree...mostly glass ball ornaments? And of course we also had in addition to the big lights that got too hot, we also had bubble lights...do any of you remember those??? I loved them!
I am still waiting a bit to decide exactly what I'm sending...keeps it fun for me.

Robinlee, don't feel bad - it's hard to wait to open a package, been there done that before. Just think, you get to enjoy looking at your goodies longer than others. Go get you a snack and eat some chocolate and don't give it another thought.

Love those lights! I remember laying under the tree waiting for them to begin bubbling. So much fun for me and my siblings.
Dedemac, I have a set of china birds you slip over the lights and clip onto the branches I bought at the Biltmore House in the Asheville, NC area. They look like baby ones all fat and cute.

Red, I got to see Biltmore House at Christmas, and it was lovely. I can't believe how many volunteers it must have taken to do all those trees. We stayed at Grove Park Inn which was a treat in itself. In addition to the beautiful inn, they had just completed the gingerbread competition and all of the entries were still on display. Just let me say... I'll stick to creating with fabric!

Wow, ladies, I had pages & pages to read through! I didn't think I was AWOL -- but I must've been!
TPr9258 -- My favorite is also Hershey's; hubby's is Cadbury's, but he grew up in Ireland & I grew up here, & I keep telling him that Hershey's is the Great American Chocolate Bar. (Chocolate is my favorite food group!)
I remember ribbon candy fondly. I even bought some last year but didn't eat any. I never heard of bubble lights & I don't recall seeing them, ever.
My favorite ornaments are always the handmade ones. I have one Jim Short ornament, Santa on a reindeer (I collect Santas).
Robinlee -- Your ornament is very cute; I've been wanting to make those myself. And I love your snowman -- I would hang it on the tree also. Or, hang him on the wall where you do your beautiful embroidery.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have one ornament ready. But I'm thinking of a second one; I sent two last year. And chocolate. Hope my partner isn't allergic. Last month, for a different swap, I sent someone chocolate & it turns out she's allergic. I felt very bad about that, since I certainly would've preferred to send her something she could enjoy! But I notice that many people don't really give info on their About Me page. Even simple things -- like allergies & favorite colors. Well ... c'est la vie.
