An ornament exchange is serious business, folks.
You only have one chance to nail it.
I had no idea who had my name.
Then I arrived home to find a package from Tina of What We Keep.
I love Tina's stuff!
Well, there was that one corn incident, but that is behind us.
You can read about the corn incident here.
Look at the goodies carefully nestled in cheetah tissue.
A mini Samuel de Champlain.
A bristly, bottle brush squirrel who instantly won my heart.
Tina slipped an extra cupcake ornament in for my birthday.
Wow, looks like Santa was sure glad to see that cupcake!
It looks just like a miniature mantel.
And the woodland bottle brush tree ornament.
I may have to choose another favorite - I love the woodland scene.
And the silver Santa bell.
I told him Tina knew not to put corn in the box.
Folded in the bottom was this holiday popcorn bag with our name on it.
Tina does have a wicked sense of humor.
Don't worry - the bag was empty.
And a huge THANK YOU to Tina for my lovely ornaments.
I sent an ornament box to Tania of Little Vintage Cottage. You can read what she received HERE.
Vicky will be hosting a gathering of everyone who participated this weekend.
See y'all!

What beautiful, charming items! And the cupcake for your birthday is just too cute :)
ReplyDeleteI participated in Vicky's exchange again this year and was once again blessed by the two ladies I was paired up with - I look forward to sharing my items tomorrow.
Have a wonderful day! Hugs
Glad you enjoyed your ornies, Donna. From one squirrel to another, Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely ornaments and Christmas cheer! I do remember the 'corn' incident last year! This is a fun exchange each year isn't it!
ReplyDeletehugs,

Donna, simply darling! What more can I say? I wanted to tell you that my sweet package arrived. Oh how my heart skipped a beat when I saw one of your darling tags and Santas!
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute!! Thanks so very much my sweet friend! Hop over to my blog tomorrow and you might catch a glimpse of him.
hugs,

Oh, you're package from Tina is so fun!! She cracks me up! Both of you are awesomely squirrelly.
ReplyDeleteWow Donna....you received some gorgeous stuff from Tina! So funny that I didn't even realize she was the one who sent you the squirrel things until after I partnered you up with her...too funny! She is a talented lady...just like you! Thanks for participating again this year. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Vicky
What an awesome gift package you received from Tina! Very creative. I love the squirrel theme! Have a great weekend Donna!
ReplyDeleteThis post is an example of all the fun and friendship that blogging has provided for so many of us! I love the perky little squirrel! I am going over to see what you sent out and also to read the corn story! Thanks for the entertainment!
ReplyDeleteHey Donna, visiting from the ornament exchange. It was my first year and I LOVED it! Your squirrel is too cute! Blessings, Cecilia
ReplyDeleteWhat fun gifts! This was my first year too and I'm already looking forward to the next one. Have a great day Donna!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Donna, you received some delightful goodies. The woodland bottle brush tree ornament is especially pretty.
ReplyDeleteHopped over from Vicky's ornament exchange.
Donna, I was so sorry not to be part of the exchange this year, but given how late I am to read this post, I guess it was better or anyone paired with me would never have their gift on on time!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute, Donna! Tina did a wonderful job. I love participating in the exchange. Get to meet new friends and say hi to old ones. Have a wonderful Christmas!
