I was super excited when Suzy from Not a Fertile Myrtle (also my super talented blog designer from Blog Sites by Suzy) emailed me about co-hosting a holiday ornament exchange with her. Ever since I was a little girl, my mother has given me a new ornament every Christmas. I have carried on this same tradition with my son. We started with a yearly Hallmark train ornament set, and when he outgrew that I started getting him an ornament that best represented whatever he was interested in that past year. I have also started a tradition of collecting pretty glass ornaments for myself from Pier 1 every year. I wait until the day after Christmas and hit their clearance sale that morning. I allow myself just one pretty ornament each year, and it isn't always easy to narrow it down to just one!
So, yes... I love ornaments! And I couldn't help but think how an ornament exchange would be a fun way to expand my collection even more. ;)
