Holiday Ornament Swap

About a month ago we decided to participate in Dreaming of Dimples and Living in Yellow's Holiday Ornament Swap. We were each paired up with two amazing bloggers who we would send ornaments to and we'd also have another two bloggers who would send ornaments to us. (Fun, right?!?)  It was a wonderful way to meet some new blogger friends and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them, which made shopping for their ornaments so much more personal!! Today is the link-up party, so it's finally time to share the details with you guys...

Jayme received her ornament from Jessah at Dreaming of Dimples:

Anyone who knows Jayme, knows that she loves anything that sparkles and the girl has a love affair with shoes and nail polish, so Jessah nailed it with her ornament and extra goodies!

Mendi received her ornament from Lori at A Crazy Walk on the Safe Side:

Lori and I chatted a few times over e-mail, so I slipped her a few hints that my tree "theme" is rustic outdoorsy chic (yes, I think I just made that a "style"). This gorgeous pinecone ornament will fit in perfectly with my red berry twigs and burlap garland.

If you want to see the ornaments that Jayme & I sent to our gift recipients, then you'll have to visit their blogs, so be sure to hop on over to see what Jenn from Perfectly Imperfect received from Jayme and what Sami from Sami's Shenanigans received from Mendi.


Jayme and her mom are spending the weekend in NYC doing lots of Christmas shopping and enjoying all of the holiday sights...

I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to hear all about it!! 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

  10. You both received cute packages, I love the photos in this post! I am a fairly traditional Christmas person so I have to admit I like the pinecone ornament best -- but that is the great thing about this swap (my first ever!) -- everyone appears to be receiving very thoughtful individualized gifts, including myself! Am absolutely going to start joining more of these -- also a great opportunity to find new blogs! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

  17. Okay, this is too cute for words!
    I love the rustic chic tree decorating idea. And that ornament to fit that theme is fantastic!
    And I am so jealous of the trip to NYC. This is my favorite time of year to be up north. The cold, the holiday decor, the special events... le sighhhhh.
