michelle at green kitchen invited me to participate in an ornament swap with six other women. i was thrilled and honored to be asked and not just a little concerned about meeting the high level of imagination and craft expertise that these women have. thanks to the clever inner workings of a futuregirl's brain and the technical wizardry of her husband we could check in through the week to see if our ornaments had arrived at their intended destinations... mine have, so i can post a photo. yipee!
there are seven - soon to be eight (when i finish mine) - reindeer. pretty serendipitous, right? you can find the other six here.
i will post the beauties i get once everyone else has received them. and who is everyone else? these great women, that's who.

I LOVE my reindeer. They are all ridiculously awesome, but I think mine is the best of the bunch ... not that I'm biased or anything. ;)
I can't stop petting the suede-y fabric the body is made of. It's so soft!

I thought this one looked familiar. :) I'm a little partial to mine, too. Thanks so much! Mine is sitting in it's opened box on my desk so I can see it. We don't even have a tree yet!
