Lucky788scroller's ornament just arrived. Based on a quick examination, I recommend his screen name be changed to "highlyskilled788scroller". Very detailed with a nice finish.

It's already in the tree....... Thanks!

I finally got mine out on Monday. Got Theresa's same day, very crisply cut and well-finished. Mine are more "rustic but heartfelt"

Sorry guys, mine will be a little late...
My wife wanted to try a new finishing technique on them before she would let me tung oil them...

Maybe mine will just be early for next year <grin>

I received one from Dale (Lucky) yesterday. What a great design and super cutting! I hope mine get to most people before Christmas - Probably not to Canada (sorry) but according the the Post Office, the others should arrive in time.

Steves ornament just arrived here. A nice ornament, I like it!Its a pattern I havent ever seen before,very nice.It came just in time to still enjoy it on the tree this year! Thanks Steve,and to everyone on the ornament swap. Only a couple left to arrive,and I'm anxious! Merry Christmas.

Chucks ornament from Canada also arrived today.Great timing as well.Its a really nice ornament.It did take a rough trip across the border though, as one piece is broke off. I might be able to glue it back on,if I can get it lined up right.Also enclosed is a great bookmark,which arrived in excellant shape,and somthing I must now go and hide before my wife,or one of the kids sees it, or they will lay claim to it!! Very nice, Thank you Chuck, Merry Christmas!

Actually, PiALaModem's ornament just arrived.

Neat pattern - Thanks Steve!!!

Lucky, I'm sorry to hear your ornament arrived damaged. I thought that the card would have been enough to protect it. I was going to put another piece of cardboard in there, but decided not to. Guess I should have. Glad you like the bookmark, just thought I'd throw a little extra in there for everyone.

Patiently awaiting the arrival of everyone's ornaments, will likely get the bulk of them on the 27th or 28th.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Wow you guys got me all fired up now if I can work up the courge to turn the saw on and cut something.......LOL Please if at all possible I would like to see pics of the orniments reading this thread I really would like to see what they all look like. Maybe next year I will be able to join in on the swap. Sounds like it was very fun and exciting. It is easy to feel the excitement in the post of when you sent and got a new one in the mail. I cant wait till next year. Merry Christmas everyone.

I did send the same ornament to all on the list.Hopefully Bob or someone can slap a photo on here of the ornament I sent.If not, I can try to figure out how to attach a photo to a post in here. I have really enjoyed the swap, and will do it again.I did get one that was broken,but the envelope looked like it had a rough trip,so its not all Chucks fault,besides,he sent a really nice bookmark along with it that he didnt have to do.So,SSG Johnson,fire up that saw and get cutting! Dale
