Sowal Ornament Exchange

[potatovixen]

It is! It is! Some of the most wonderful ornaments on my tree were handmade. I have a friend who threw out all her handmade ornaments to have a "perfect" tree. When her daughter told the story, her face said a thousand words. If only the mom knew how hurtful it was. I really do not care about perfect, just FUNN and meaningful!

I wholeheartedly agree. Something handmade always means so much more to me than something store-bought. Something handmade suggests that the person spent time and effort into creating something specifically for you. Even if does end up having a few impoerfections, it is always the one gift that means the most, since you knew that person was thinking of you.

yeah, you say that now, but i haven't created it yet...personally i thing the worst handmade ornament looks better than a store-bought one - i like things with character to them..

yes! and that character is what makes it special and reflects your friend's heart...

Just got back from Michaels. This could be really good or bad. But, I know my secret pal will get a kick out of it.

Miss Kitty is off shooting kittens from cannons and trying to get a good shot of the elusive Superman.
Hmmm, me thinks she's avoiding ornament making.

I finally got all my stuff for my ornament today....whew what a relief!...except...OMG wait!!!! NOW I HAVE TO MAKE IT....

 

[Lady D]

I am just having no luck making this ornament. Every time I start on it, I do not like what I have done and undo it all. This is driving me crazy. These things are too small to do anything with for one thing.
