Ornaments and Adornments

Something is taking up all my time.  Each day seems to slip away so quickly...gone in a breath.  I finished a special jewelry project recently but, I admit it, I've been totally pre-occupied with Christmas ornament making lately.  I'm in the Christmas Spirit early this year but, with good reason.

Remember my annual 12 Days of Christmas Ornaments swap from last year?  Our group is at it again this year and I've been working feverishly on my ornaments.  Of course, I can't show them to you because that would ruin the surprise for my ornament girls!  Stick with me though because I'll be posting all the wrappings and ornaments from the swap starting Dec. 1st.

Hi Deryn

These look gorgeous. It's funny, I was looking at an old Somerset mag a couple days ago and I saw an article on some license plate books you had done. It was so cool! Before I had a child, I was obsessed with being published in their mag and of course the free issue. Was in most all of them up until a couple years ago. There's just too much going on now.

Oh whaaaaaaaaa! I'm so sad I had to drop out this year ~ just look at how scrumptious it all looks! I'll be living it vicariously through your blog this year Deryn. I have a feeling this years swap will be better then ever!

I'm looking forward to the swap. My wrapping is pretty "plain-jane" compared to what I have seen, but I'm just glad to have been able to particpate. I just hope the little boxes make it to everyone!

How are you?
