One of the Christmas traditions in my house is to make ornaments for a group of women who have been my friends for nearly 20 years now. We met when Gooseberry Patch had a online chat group and have been friends ever since. We have hosted an ornament exchange for eight years and the sign up for the ninth one has begun!
All of these adorable ornaments would be worthy candidates for the exchange. I did choose one that I will show you later, but for now it is a secret! Part of the fun is the surprise of opening the box and seeing what ornaments everyone made, so I won't be the one to ruin the fun!
