The Whitman Swappies Arrived!!!!!!

The box of ornies from the Whitman Shadowbox Swap hosted by the lovely Elizabeth of Creative Breathing arrived!!!!!  I'm sorry, I didn't get pix of the box or the wrapped ornies - I was too interested in seeing them all and getting them on my tree!!!  OOH OOH OOH  They are all so beautiful and DIFFERENT!!  I just love them all!!   And, boy, do they ever look good on my retro tree!!!  This was just what my tree needed to really look inspiring.  Just take a look at these darlings ...

Aren't they all just adorable??????  There are vintage items used, cute little figures, expert  scissoring, beads, snow, sparklies ....  Each one a work of Christmas art.  I even hung tags on the tree and then there's Elizabeth's darling snowman ...

Elizabeth made this beautiful tag for me-it's hanging in my craft nook!!

This was my FIRST EVER swap and it was such fun to do and such fun to GET!!!!!  These ornies will forever be precious to me and remind me of the lovely, talented, creative, warm, special ladies out there in Blogland!!!!!

Thank you, thank you all, for your creative work that went into the making of these wonderful ornaments.  And not just ornaments ... but, TREASURES.  I am grateful and happy to have been a part of this awesome ornament swap!!!!

LOVE and
