A Christmas Ornament Exchange and a Poem!

   Vicky from  "Life on Willie Mae Lane"  sent me these wonderful gifts!!
 She was also the one who coordinated this amazing exchange!  So much work.  Thanks Vicky.




Twas the night before gift exchange and all through the mail.

 Canada Post was still acting like  Silly Old Snail.
The packages  tied up with many a bows
And with all that excitement I stubbed my old toes.


With bells and buttons and ribbons and candy
I realized Vicky was more than just handy!
AWE!!

With wine glasses made into beautiful globes
They looked so fantastic  hanging in my abode.


With  beautiful Joy and a tree  full of glam
I looked for my scissors and saw a snowman

So cute.


A big jar of candy that brings such delight
and to all of my Bloggy Friends I wish you  goodnight!




Thank you Vicky!
Check out all the fun we had over at here at
Life On Willie Mae Lane
So thoughtful and so much fun!
Cheers.

    If this isn't the cutest post about receiving your ornament exchange! Funny and cool! I think all received more lovelies than anticipated and found new friendships along the way. Everyone was just so excited to be involved in this wonderful event! Kudos to Vicky!

    Isn't that Vicky a doll?! I just love the items that she sent to you - the Christmas tree made out of ribbons is darling and such a clever idea! Shame on that snowman for eating your treats. . . :)

    I am a happy new follower of yours, dear one, and I look forward to coming back for a visit. Take care! Hugs!

    Wow! She really did go all out on those cute and crafty ornaments. I don't even know which one I like best, but I am totally thinking of making that stick ribbon one soon! I say this looks like a successful exchange!

    I was so sorry not to be part of the exchange this year... Now I'm completely jealous: the snowman could be mine!!! The "joy" ornaments are really lovely.

    What a nice exchange! I'm so glad I wasn't a part of it, granted I don't know the criteria, but I'm sure I would have sent off a single ornament and then would have been the recipient of a whole cart load of cute gear. Guilt. For sure.

    LOL! You are hysterical! What a bunch of clever ideas- my favorite is the ribbon tree. Did you let that crazy snowman loose? Someone ate all my chocolate pecans, too. ;)
    (I loved your pink Charlotte!)
