As posted earlier, I recently participated in cake & pie / freshly blended's Third Annual Ornament Swap. This was a swap I did last year as well (see here). I enjoyed spending a wee bit of time in my studio (which has been rare this past year) to make up these ornaments for my swap partners. The front of the ornament is a photo I took with a glittered faun attached. The backside is patterned paper with the first initial of each participant (also glittered). (As a side note, I have to say I am totally in love with the Martha Stewart glitter available at Michaels.) Below are a few photos of the project in process. You can check out other's contributions on the flickr group here.
We are having a lot of fun receiving ornaments in return as well. The kids love to check the mail for packages and they are always intrigued by where each one comes from. I'll post pics of those next!
as always, just beautiful Michele!

I, too, am in love with the Martha Stewart glitter. I found some at WalMart myself.
To echo in the words of the previous person, these were lovely ornaments. They remind me of grayish white skies and lots of snow. Wonderful work! I'm sure those receiving your ornaments will be delighted.
