Friendships
Today's post will be a short one but I wanted to let all those who attended the Ornament & Cookie Exchange know just how much I enjoyed and appreciated taking part in the get-together. A warm thanks to sweet Teresa for extending the invitation and to the lovely and gracious hostess Jessi for inviting us into her home for the exchange. Everything was perfect, especially all the warm and friendly ladies who attended. Elizabeth (who must start a blog-you can do it Elizabeth, I know you can!), Jill, Mary Beth, Teresa, Jessi and myself. Cari and Amanda were unable to attend, so sorry you couldn't be there, we missed you!
Above, my first ornament, the first one that is where I wasn't participating in a class and had to create it all from my own noggin'! For me the exchange was a continuation from Silver Bella and the chance to spend more time with the women I met there and begin building lasting friendships which are key to feeling that sense of community when you move to a new city. This was the "key" to my ornament design. I didn't use a kit or pattern and so far it is one of a kind, and the exchange was a first for me. I was very happy with the way the ornament turned out but I can honestly say I was in a fret over it for just a few days :)
To my new friends, thank you for such a wonderful time, you definitely bring a smile to my face and heart when I think of you and I love my ornaments and all the goodies you baked, YUMMY! More photos posted later but back to work on the "project."
