Kids' Ornament Swap

A few weeks ago I signed up for the Kids' Ornament Swap over on The Crafty Crow. You and your kids make and send an ornament to 5 other participants, and you receive 5 handmande ornaments in return. This year's theme was Fairy Tales. I surprised myself by coming up with what I thought was a pretty good idea: Princess Hats! But then I imagined a little boy somewhere in Timbuktu opening up our package and finding a pink hat and realized that probably wouldn't go over so well. So we made some wizard hats as well and are sending one of each to our swap partners.

I overestimated the difficultly level of this project and therefore the kiddos didn't really get to help much. I realize that's the whole point, but they didn't seem to mind too much.

Our swap partners are from California, Washington, Florida, Massachusetts, and Maine. We can't wait for the ornaments to start arriving!

Your ornament was our favorite! And your 500 babies are awfully cute! I hope they got gluey in the process, but I do appreciate your fine work. All the best. Hope the holidays were wonderful for your family!
