Ornament Swap Brag Thread!

[NovelNerd]

I think it would be lovely if you host it again next year! I had a great time, even if I didn't post as much as I have for other swaps. I was just wildly busy during the Christmas season. It was nice though buying something other than just ponies. I love love love Christmas shopping.

I would really love for my partner to at least post that they got their box, and if they liked it or not

Yes! I think we are still missing a brag or two. I know a few people mentioned going out of town, perhaps they've just been away?

Christmas New Year is pretty busy.  Everyone except MnDancer has confirmed they received it.  Just be patient.  If they haven't boasted by next week I'll nudge people.

Yea! I got my box today! Why the post office waited until Monday to bring it when my mail was supposed to resume Friday is beyond me! But it was really awesome! I loved it and I will post pics when I find my camera; I packed it for my trip and now I don't know where I put it I didn't find a card in there though, did you send it to me Buddafly or Mimosa? 

[Buddafly]

I have not forgotten about this. I've just been out of town for 2 weeks and arrived back home last night. So sorry!!

I loved my box! Buddafly was my partner and she she sent me some amazing things.
It's kind of hard to see the ornaments in the photo so I will describe them.

On top of the box is the cute gnome card and then a snowman ornament that came inside a snowman tin!
The snowman bags had two very pretty snowflake crystal ornaments, plus a fish. That fish, btw, is the best ornament in the world.
There is also a stocking ornament with the date and name of the swap which I though was really clever. Buddafly also sent some sweets for me and my puppy! (The dog treats were long gone before I took the photo, lol.)
I hope I didn't forget to include anything else in the pic.

Close up of the stocking so you can see the words. And on the back there is a "to" and "from". Nice.

THE FISH. A very random ornament, but this is simply the coolest thing ever. My mom agreed too. It got the best spot on the christmas tree right in the center. It has a wiggly body. Love it!

Thanks for being a great partner, Buddafly. The package was enjoyed very much. I couldn't have asked for a better one.

I love the stocking.  Those fish are really common in China.  They're like everywhere.  They say to westerners that they're Christmas ornaments, but the Chinese don't celebrate Christmas.  But whatever, they're awesome, I'd put them on my tree.

Oh neat! I would be interested in seeing more if there are different types and colors and such.. I really love it.
