EtsyRain Ornament Exchange

I got to party with a hugely talented bunch of ladies last Sunday at the EtsyRain (the Seattle Etsy Street Team) Christmas Party. We had a great time, with fabulous company, excellent food, and much laughing and joking around. But the highlight of the evening was definately the Ornament Exchange. All of the ornaments were hand-made by the represented artists, and the actual exchange was run as a White Elephant Gift Exchange, complete with stealing of gifts. The only catch was that all of the choosing and stealing was done soley on the wrapping of the ornament. We had no idea what was inside.

Not that it would have mattered. All of the ornaments were spectacular! I got a crown from KC at World of Whimm, two different cacti from Marlo at imakecutestuff, and a beautiful angel from Meghan at Baubles by Hand (check back tomorrow for a picture). I was so happy! (But truth be told, I would have gladly gone home with any of the great ornaments from the party).

Happy Holidays
