2nd Annual Ornament Swap

Hi all,

This is my first Ornament Swap so I am a newbie. My partner was Miranda Ackerley of NY.  This is the beautiful ornament piece I received .  It is a triangular piece of copper with holes drilled into it. In the holes she wired in beautiful little crystal  to resemble ornaments. Then a cute green crystal and a small brown crystal at the bottom for the trunk. On top is a gorgeous green metal flower with a crystal in the middle. I can't tell if the flower is a button but it is as cute as can be.

The card that the ornament is hanging on is a paint chip with holes punched in it. How cool is that???? Talk about recycling!!!!

I had a great time with this Swap and can't wait to see the other ornaments.

Hop on over to Miranda Ackerley to check out her site and beauties.

Below are the rest of the participants. Hop on over to their sites and check out their ornaments.

  5. Such a cool ornament! It reminds me of the trees that Charlie Brown and Linus looked at before deciding on the sad little unloved tree! I love the way the crystals are wired on. Three cheers for recycling! I am a paint chip hoarder, now I know what to do with all of them. Enjoy the day! Erin
