2018 Ornament Exchange




My dear sweet friend Stephanie
Hosted her first Ornament Exchange

When I heard she was doing this
I knew I wanted to participate
Everything Stephanie does
Is done with Excellence
And this was no different

I was excited to meet my new friend
Anne Marie of
Musings of a Vintage Junkie

I scoped out her blog and tried 
To choose items that were vintage in nature
And fit with my holiday color scheme

I think I succeeded but I forgot to take photos
Before I wrapped everything
So, here are a few I took
Once my package was wrapped and ready to sent




It was such a pleasure to receive my little package
I seldom receive 'happy mail' so this was fun

My new friend Abby is a talented crafter
I could tell when I opened the envelope


She cut this beautiful bird out of chimney flashing
So cute


And designed this treasured advent calendar
Each day has a wonderful scripture
Printed with sweet details 


The little bird hangs on ribbon


Love the hand crafted booklet


A very sweet and now treasured gift
I will always remember my first ornament exchange

Thank you Stephanie for Hosting
Thank you Anne Marie and Abby
For Participating and Being a Blessing

  3. I just love my black and white checked tin with the truck and tree, and all the goodies inside! So happy to have met you also Cindy, and now follow your blog. The gifts you received are very special. That hand cut bird is precious, and what a great idea for an advent calendar. Merry Christmas!
