Natalea of Kandeland hosted a handmade ornament swap and I was lucky enough to be able to join in…
here are the lovely ornaments I received with some of their pretty wrappings in the background…
Joy to the World stuffed heart from Natalea…
JOY stocking from Vivian…
fabric tree and framed Rousing Rudolphe from Sandy…
a baker “REJOICE” shaker from Linda…
an altered doll leg from Kimberly…
and a French jam jar snow globe from Jeanne…
each ornament is inspiring and adds so much charm to our tree…
thank you all!!!
here are the altered spoons that I really had a great time creating for the swap using spoons bent by Mr Magpie…feather wings…golden German Flimmers and some rhinestone bling along with several kinds of glitter and a favorite word of mine…
thanks to my art pal Fran Podlesney for sharing her die cut machine I just happened to have the perfect frills to use as tags on my tuille wrapped ornaments…
I admit I’ve gone a little glitter crazy this season…more on that in another post…

























Wow, so wonderful gifts for you, dear Patty

Each one is unique and so lovely! Your spoons are the most gorgeous I have ever seen! Do you put the image on the front or back and are they flattened? So many questions! We need a spoon ornament class on the schedule for art group!! xoxo
