Oh I just love this thread. Everyone is still enjoying the party and posting new beautiful things to see each day. It has been so fun to see everything and to feel all the love being spread around in such a sweet and generous way.

I am so relieved to hear you got your package nattoddboyd! That is a big weight off my mind. Dang mail, gets slower and slower it seems.

There was a mix up so I sent to tolepainter. I hope she gets her ornament soon and likes them even though it is so late in arriving.

Dedemac those ornaments are so pretty. You don't see much tatting anymore. They are so delicate. A very pretty stuffed star too.

Dedemac, I LOVE those tatted stars. I love tatting and they are spectacular samples of tatting.
I also love the stuffed 2 sided star. I bet that would spin on a branch and show both sides prettily.

Thank you, Lynnie and JuneBillie. I enjoy tatting but I use the needle, just can't get the tension correct with the shuttle.

Ta-da... Here are the beautiful ornaments Terri (terriamn) gifted me. Thank you Terri for ALL (6) of the snowmen you sent!!! They make lovely additions to my collection.

In addition Terri added a stiletto, chocolates (one of my favorites), the 2 Christmas trees, and the reindeer. Last but not least, (however, definitely the funniest) the tin of snowmen poop!!! You for sure made me laugh.

Terri shared with me that all of the items she made were firsts to her. I so appreciate everything you sent and the time you put into making this swap wonderful. I will let Terri share with you about the special Christmas trees.

All of the ornaments are just beautiful! Wish I had someone close to teach me tatting!

I just put this together for my daughters desk at work, thought I'd share.

Well it looks great. I love when I can recycle something into something completely different.
