A Few More Exchanges Received

Here is the exchange piece I made for the Christmas Smalls Exchange in the HOE group.
My partner was Erin  and I chose to stitch "Dash Away All" from The Sampler Girl. The one rule for this exchange was to create something that wasn't an ornament . So being as I enjoyed making the box for the Blackbird Designs exchange (see below) and I had another paper mache box I decided to finish this off in the same way. I really liked the way this one came out! I have 2 more of these boxes so I definitely have to make one for myself sometime .
 I am so glad you loved it Erin! It was a pleasure to stitch & finish for you :)

On Friday I received my Christmas smalls Exchange from Sonda. Sonda said she saw that I likes Blackbird Designs so she chose their design "Peace" from the 2009 JCS ornament issue. She finished it off into this wonderful tin topper. I absolutely LOVE it!  I love how she finished it off! I have made these in the past and never thought to put a piece of felt on the bottom. It really makes it nice!
 Sonda also included some wonderful goodies! She sent me a piece of pretty red Fat Quarter fabric, a reindeer nose and a package of DMC varigated floss!!! I have always wanted to buy myself the varigated floss but never did! I was so surprised to see it in the package!
Sonda Thank You so VERY much for this wonderful exchange! A new treasure to add to my collection :)

I also received my Ornament from the HOE Ornament Exchange. Paula had my name and she made this beautiful ornament for me! I LOVE the design she chose and also the way she finished it!  It looks stunning on my tree!
Thank you so very much Paula! I will treasure it always!

I am still waiting to hear from my partner if she received my ornament.  The USPS delivery conformation said it was delivered yesterday but you never know lol As soon as I hear from her I will post it here.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I really appreciate all of your wonderful comments!
