This swap was SO MUCH FUN! Thank you so much to all of you for joining! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Everyone was put into groups for this swap, and each player made 3 handmade ornaments for each player in their group. I was in two groups. One was to make whites and creams, and the other Pinks and blues.
Because this was my first year with a white tree, I decided to make lots of ornaments and keep a few for myself. First I will show you all the ornaments I made for the white and creams group. These where fake sugar cookies that I iced and embellished.
Kinda kooky owls.
Prize ribbon ornaments.
Glittered ornament cut-outs that where embellished.
And little nest ornaments. These where my favorite.
In return I got these three lovely ornaments from Jeannie!
They came wrapped in darling packaging!
Becky sent me these little cuties. A snow girl with a crown, a lovely embellished bird, and a pretty festive soldered ornament.
These adorable and creative ornaments came from Robin. They are so darling. The one in the middle is an embellished jar and it has sparkly glitter snow inside! So sweet! Robin also SPOILED ME BIG TIME with an amazing bag of some of the most unique and fun goodies!! Plus her packages where full of yummy candy! I did not get any pictures because they where GONE by the time I got to take photos. lol I had a sweet tooth that day. Perfect timing Robin thanks.
I also got a super sweet collection of ornaments from Cami!
I thought this embellished bird was so neat!
And these darling ornaments are so creative!! I would have never thought of something like this. I LOVE them both! I was really spoiled with beautiful ornaments in this group!
For the pink and blue group I made cute little birds.
A embellished paper mache ball that I glittered and covered in lace. I also made sugar cookies like above with just a little bit of pink color.
Lastly I made some Christmas houses.
In return Debi sent me these darling soft and sweet pink and blue ornaments! They are so sweet!
Sarah sent me these beautiful ornaments full of lovely sparkle! The box is covered in German glass glitter! I love it!
And then I got these wonderful ornaments from Lisa. They are all so fun and special! Spoiled again by all these lovely creations!
Since I was on a roll making ornaments, I also decided to make a couple for a friends Birthday. I made her one of the houses, this snowman, and a little birdie.
I had so much fun making ornaments this year, and it was so neat to see what everyone came up with for the swap! Thanks to everyone! Be sure to stop by the other blogs to see what everyone created!
Happy Creating!
omg - that little flying birdie is phenomenal!

Oh WOW!!All of these ornaments are GORGEOUS!! I just started decorating my home in creams and whites and I was searching the internet for Christmas ornament ideas (that's how I found your blog). Seeing all these ornaments just gave me so much inspiration!! This year was my first year too that I was going to have an all white and cream tree,but I got so discouraged looking for things at the stores that I never even took my tree out of the box (and I think it may be too late to start now) but after seeing all these beautiful creations my hope for a white and cream tree has been renewed!! :) I think I will go ahead and make some ornaments and save them for next year. I am so glad I came across your blog. I will be looking forward to visiting again soon! and I can't wait to take a look at all the links you posted and see what others have created! Wow! What an awesome swap you ladies had!
