2014 Ornament Exchange

I get so excited for this time of year. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas and all the wonderful things those holidays bring....too many to mention. Here is one of them I love....Christmas Ornament Exchanges. I was in Crossstitch Round Robins for years, when I was younger and didn't need reading glasses. Even with the reading glasses for me, I need great light. I digress though... my point is I love the idea of making something and exchanging it with someone I don't know and will never meet. Someone from a different country??? Even better. I came across this post this morning from one of the many blogs I subscribe to.... Dukes and Duchesses. Here is the post word for word..... I have already signed up and am very excited. The only thing I want to add on my own is make sure you can commit to this before you sign up. I would hate if someone was left empty handed November 24th. Enjoy!!!!!
‘Tis the season! Well, almost. But it’s definitely time to think about the season and we want to kick off the festivities with a Christmas Ornament Exchange! I’m joining forces with Kelly from Live.Laugh.Rowe, Jenn from My Fabuless Life, and Ashley from Cherished Bliss for an ornament exchange with … YOU! The Details: The sign-up will close on November 1st. {International participants are welcome.} The hosts will send out the assignments by November 8th. Spend no more than $5 on an ornament {not including shipping}. The ornament can be handmade or storebought. Please sign up only if you’re able to follow through and send an ornament. It’ll be such a bummer if everyone doesn’t get a package of happy mail. All ornaments must be shipped by November 23rd {but earlier is greater}. We’d love to see your social media shares on twitter, facebook, google plus, and instagram! Use the hashtag #OrnamentSwap14. Show us the shopping, the crafting, the mailing, or anything you want. Feel free to tag us and we may share your post! Everyone is welcome to participate but you must be 18 years of age or older. If you’re a blogger, we’d love to have you share the button on your sidebar. Ready to spread the holiday cheer? Sign up here: http://goo.gl/forms/DIa1rri71e and then find the perfect ornament for a partner! The more, the merrier, right? Invite others to join in the fun by clicking the cute birdie and sharing the tweet! Tweet: I signed up for #OrnamentSwap14 with @DukesnDuchesses, @LiveLaughRowe, @MyFabulessLife, and @CherishedBliss.

  1. Great idea. I don't have the time & in all honesty, don't know if I will have the strength in my heart to even put up a tree. I've already cancelled Christmas here this year. This project sounds like a perfect one for you though. Have fun with it.
