I really want to join this swap, but I don't want something to happen (you know how life goes!) that will rush me in making the ornaments before the deadline. Would any of you ladies recommend that I make some ornaments now, and then sign up for the swap? And just pray that whatever I make will cover any of my bases? Thanks for any advice! I'm making some Christmas ornaments now for my famliy, so I can easily make a few extras

I've already made some, and expect to have a few ideas. You only need one for your partner.

Not sure I will be able to make these this year, BUT they are going to be
on my "to-do list" for the future.
Main reason I want to make these is for my best friend (more like a sister)
her last name is Holle (pronounced Holly), so I love making her things that
have the holly theme to them.

I am in the last stage of finishing a christmas quilt I made from years of doing a swap here on the board. It is coming out cute and the girls did such a nice job on the blocks. It has put me into the mood to continue on with the christmas theme, so I got a great deal yesterday on a bucilla kit for a felt candy wreath. Half price! It is tons of felt ornaments attached to a wreath, so maybe I can make one into my partner's ornie. I have lots of extra felt around from other projects.
I also have a mirrored beaded ornament kit that still has some to finish up in it. I sent one to dotcom/dotty one year for out swap. I think everyone I have given one to liked it a lot.
Oh here is a pic of the wreath.
I am making aprons for my sister in laws gifts this christmas. They are not hard and so I will have a little more time than last year. I am also making a shopkeeper's apron for my friend who does those craft fairs with a booth. It will have zippered pockets to hold her cash. My other friend I want to make something with gingerbread houses. Not sure what yet. I already made her a cute christmas apron last week with a flying reindeer on it.

Love your ornaments M-Fay. Yours is really cute, but I do love those elf shoes your daughter made. They are just adorable.

Hi NZquilter~
Please come play with use. The additional information is just to give people ideas, not a hard and fast that the ornament must be this. I would say that 98% of the time people enjoy the ornaments they get, even if it isn't what they asked for. I find the people who swap do it for the fun of it and that excitement of receiving something that someone else made just for you.
