Ornament Exchange fun!

Recently I participated in a handmade ornament exchange - I don't usually have good luck with these things, but this year it was a lot of fun!  Claire hosted the exchange and I got Sarah.  When I chatted with her via email, she said: "I am a New England girl but I truly don't like the cold or snow, LOL.   When my kids get a little bit older, I plan on traveling with them during our colder months to somewhere warmer.  At least, that's my plan for now."  

How ironic - this was the ornament I made:

 She laughed and said it was a hit at her house.  Her girls took it to bed with them to snuggle - I should have sent her more than one!  She's been under the weather, so it took a while for her to send mine.  I completely understand.  But when I received it - wow!  Loved it!

 It's a little wreath made of felt and wool scraps with buttons.  So wonderful, I LOVE handmade things like this.

 It found a home on a framed print I moved into the sewing room.  Just makes me happy seeing it there!

She also sent the most wonderful handmade soap from a friend of hers at Keeping it Simple Soap.  It smells so good, can't wait to use it!
