I must say the wait was worth it...You do very nice work.
Do you sell them?
Where do you get most of your patterns, magazines, pattern books or your noggin?

Thanks for taking the time to share your pics.

Last year some people did original designs and some people used published patterns (it's possible some people did their own patterns that they had published

). So long as they're done with good will and cheer all should be good!

If you look at the end of last year's thread I posted pictures of the ones that I received: 2008 Christmas Ornament swap

I'll jump in on the ornament swap again. Every year thats one of the highlights here, getting them ornaments in the mail!

Well if Lucky788 is in, I'm in!

I'd recommend a couple "categories"........

1) swap with "all"
2) swap with 1/2 the group, or
3) swap with 1/4 the group.

That way folks will receive, in theory, as many ornaments as they send.....

THANKS for taking this on again Chris. It pulls folks from all over together as a group!
