CLOSED: GARDEN THEME CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT SWAP! #3 "The Reveal"

Debbie... I missed hearing how your visit with your sister went. Hope you both had a great time time together... which I have no doubt you did.

Jamie girlfriend...sure do miss you. You are in my thoughts & prayers today. Hope your feeling better.

Jane

Jamie now how's that for tuning into a friend!
I had you on my mine and there you are posting at the exact same time as my post telling you how much I miss you.
Lots of love being sent your way...and I know I can speak for everyone here.

Jane

Hey WAving Wildly!!!! Posted a long one on the old one before I saw this lol...we were typing at the same time...lol... OOOPPPSSS! #3 we are a chatty bunch! This has been so much fun! What a wonderful Swap.

I'll be around allot again until my final set of shots on Tuesday. Then probably out for 24 hours and done for a while. It supposed to be a bit longer until I find out just how much it will help all together and if I have to do anymore but... I'm going to be among the 80% that get improvement and the others that get great improvement!!!!

Jane - smoochy smoochy girl...I'll never let you miss me for long...lol...

LoL We were doing it again!!!!!!!!!!! LoL

Thanks a bunch Debbie!!!

So glad the gang is all here.

Anyone miss me? :(

I missed you makshi, where have you been?

Glad you're feeling better, Jamie, and back to your chatty self...LOL

I missed you too, makshi. Hope you're having good days.

Must apologize, my life has been more than hectic this past month..had most of my ornaments before names were given but with having 2 workshops, then sending kits out for our 3rd. Daves Garden Make and Take workshop (over 30) well let's just say I got behind..

Tonight I'll make sure they are wrapped carefully, packaged and sent out in the a.m.

Again, my apologies

Wow, been going back on threads making sure I've not forgotten to send any out..think the Christmas balls are the last..if you see on any of the threads you frequent MY NAME, please please let me know..lol

WOW, I cannot imagine being on so many swaps. I love the swaps but I do not want to be swamped with them. Don't think I would enjoy any of them when they got to be a burden.

Not a burden to me - I just think it's a good way to "meet" each other!!!

I got my ornaments today from CapeCodGardener. They are just the sweetest . I got four little straw hats with watering cans, hoses, potted flowers, baskets and ribbons attached to them I just love them and they will have an honorable spot on our tree. Thank
you so much.......

Barb, can you take a photo please so we can see them?

Debbie

Not a burden for me either, can't manage my time any more than I have...up most of the night as it is...lol..why do we need sleep...this is always my busy time, I funtion best working on all the workshops I'm teaching..it's the cutting, purchasing and what goes with it that take more time than I imagine, BUT, when it's all said and done, I'm extremely pleased being one of Santa's elves...

That describes my impression of you Betty to a tee, one of Santa's elves... LOL

I get worn out just reading about all the projects you have going on. You go girl. !


Debbie

Debbie, Santa's workshop must run all year round then..lol..always something on the go..it's what keep me young..

These are the ornaments that I received from CapeCodGardener. Aren't they just the sweetest?????

They are just toooo adorable...how creative one can be...

Those are really great!!!

Barb, Those are adorable!
Emily, beautiful job!

My swap package will go out tomorrow. I really wanted it out sooner, but life happens!

Mine's been dropped off at the P.O. as of an hour ago! Winging its way to spread some cheer!

Mine is going out today. Heading to a sweet earth angel.

Marion, that's no clue, we're all Earthly Angels....lol

Oh Barb those are wonderful. Emily you did an awesome job. Please dmail me and tell me where you got the little minatures.

I love those hat ornaments. Beautiful and creative. "Blue Ribbon"

Sweet hats, Barb! Cape, did you make those using doll house pieces? I love those little watering cans

susandonb114, Martinsville is only a 30 minute drive from my home. Are you still in my neck of the woods or have you moved to MA?

Susan

My buddy should get her ornament today ^_^

Mine left on Monday. Hope it get there safe.

Mine are on the way too. Hey Buddy, watch for a big brown truck.

Hi All I'm so excited about my orniment coming!!!! The more I see the more I can't wait!!!!!

Cape Cod - They are just as cute as can be! So sweet! What a treasure to hang on the tree!

As I look at all this tallent I don't want to fail to remind all that there is going to be an Easter Egg swap in the future! HHHHMMMMMMM I think there are many many people that could do something charming!... hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm Just a little voice for the back of you head for spring! lol

Hugs everybody!!!!

I'm glad I checked for another thread. I haven't been able to completely load the other one for whatever reason in a while. The ornaments I made are mailed. I too had life get in the way. I am a toy dept. manager and its really getting crazy! I am thankful I have a job but I am going to whine a moment if thats ok. LOL The day after Thanksgiving I have to be at work at 4:00 am. I live 31 miles from my job. I'm going to be cranky!!!! I am more a stay late type person even though I'm a morning person. Does that make sense? My DH goes to work at 7:00 am we ride together so he will wait 3 hours then I have to wait 3 hours. The next week is normal. Then the next two weeks I have to go in at 5:00 am. I am going to see if I can get a caffiene (sp) drip going. LOL Then Christmas week I have to work on overnights to get rest of my freight out. At least they are going to let my DH work overnights with me so I don't have to juggle trying to get us both to work. I had asked for the day after Christmas off knowing I would never get it. I checked before I knew all these hour changes and lo and behold my day off was approved. I was shocked. Then they told me about my schedule. LOL It was a peace offering. Smart man my boss. LOL
Everybodies ornaments have been pretty!

Amber - so thrilled to see that you were able to stop in. I was hoping we didn't scare you off...lol... That's not a whine in the grand scheme of things around here...that's a share. WoW girl I don't know when you are going to breath in the next month. Know you're in my heart and prays. I won't whine about being tired this month without reminding myself it surly could be worse!

Hugs,

Jamie

Jamie you are so right. It could be a lot worse! I am thankful for all I have. Several of my close family members have died young so never a day goes by that I don't thank GOD for being where I am in my life.

That's a heavy schedule, Amber. I don't know if you should slap your boss silly for making you work crazy hours or hug him for giving you the day after Christmas off. Hope you can set that coffee pot on AUTO!

cindy,thank you!
