| Welcome to your exchange group this year!!!
As a group you can decide on a theme or choose to be surprised. It's totally up to you guys!! I always ask each group member to say HI and share 1 fun or interesting thing that they did this year. It's a great way to break the ice and get folks chatting.

| Hey there!
I'm Michele and this is my first time doing the ornament exchange, eeps! Pretty excited about the whole thing. I love making Christmas ornaments and I love surprises so I'm all for being surprised with the ornament exchange. That's just my opinion however. What about you guys?
One fun and interesting thing I'm in the midst of doing this year is making a hexagon quilt. The quilt top is complete, and now I'm working on the hand-quilting. It's taken me a while (and may take a while yet) but I'm quite enjoying the process!
Looking forward to meeting you all and exchanging some pretty ornaments!
Yours,
Michele | |

| Hi ladies! I'm so happy to be doing the ornament exchange again this year! I had a blast last year and I couldn't wait to do it again! I'm having a lot of fun creating my little gifts for you and I'm getting excited to share. I'm totally up for doing a "surprise" ornament as well, but I'm open to the rest of the group if a theme is set.
A little something interesting that I did this year was to start using new mediums that I never really pushed myself to explore ... one of which was sculpting with polymer clay! It's so different from my other work that I do and I LOVE how tactile it is! Another non-art thing I did this year was I got to relive what life applying to colleges is like with my son. I enjoyed stress-relieving during that whole yucky process with my polymer clay projects! :0)
I'm looking forward to our ornament exchange and hearing from you soon! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
xoxo

| I am thrilled to be a part of the exchange this year...It's my first as well! I am crazy busy at the studio with orders, so it will be fun to take a few moments to create something special just for this! I am open to theme or surprise! Blessings, Kijsa | |

| Hi there fellow Beardniks! I posted last week, but it never showed up, so I'm trying again. I'm not especially tech saavy, so who knows what I did?! Anyhow, I'm excited about participating in the ornament exchange and I'm fine with not having a theme.
I'm a managing editor at Stampington & Company and oversee four titles: Somerset Apprentice, Somerset Digital Studio, Somerset Memories, and Art Doll Quarterly. I love my job and being surrounded by creative people and amazing artwork everyday, interacting with artists, and helping them achieve their dreams of being published.
I'm definitely more of a wordsmith than an artist, but I do dabble in mixed-media art and simple jewelry making. I even made a couple very, very simple polymer clay art dolls last year.
It's nice to meet you all and I look forward to seeing your beautiful creations. Happy holidays! | |

| Hi all! Okay, so the ornaments are off! They're coming from Canada so I can't say for sure when they'll arrive, but fingers-crossed they get to you before Christmas. I'll be posting photos on the blog tomorrow (hopefully) so I'll be back with the exact URL of the post when I do. This has been really fun! Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy 2013 to you all! Take care, Michele Pacey http://michelemademe.com | |

| Thank you Michele - I can't believe how cute you are! All the way down to the packaging ... SO CLEVER! I almost didn't want to break the cute little ribbon when I opened it! Thank you very much and you've absolutely inspired me to create with recycled goodies! Have a fabulous Christmas! xo Kate | |
