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…

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
