Ornament Exchange

As you might have noticed from the button on my right sidebar, I participated in an Ornament Exchange co-hosted by Karen at Home & Webbisodes. I thought it would be fun to get paired up with someone and possibly come across some new blogs, and I did exactly that! I have had a great time reading and joining a few new blogs.

My partner was Julie at The Smitten Mintons. I'm not sure if she did this on purpose or if it was a total coincidence, but the ornament she gave me is POLKA DOTS! I love polka dots, and maybe she read Brooke's Birthday blog post and saw that!? Not sure! But she got me an adorable ornament for my mostly red, green, and gold tree... and now I have one with polka dots! CUTE! THANKS JULIE! I hope she liked mine as much as I liked hers...

p.s. I had fun practicing my photography skills with these pics... I am currently reading a book so I can learn to shoot manually... So I did do these pictures with no Auto setting... just me, adjusting the focus, choosing the shutter speed and apperture. It was 5pm when I was taking these pics, so there isn't much natural light of course!! That would make my life a lot easier...)

p.p.s. Taking pictures of ornaments is SOOOOOOOOOO much easier than trying to take pictures of my kids :-)

Ok, onto the ornament reveal...


ooooooo....

ahhhhhhhh....

Ohhhhhhh!!!

Thanks Julie! I had fun participating!

I'm so glad you like it! And I may have gotten that idea from Brooke's birthday party :)

So cute! Love it! It's so sweet that she read back in your posts and got something that would work well for you.
