Reindeer Pops

It's late, but I've been meaning to post this for a week now, so i thought I'd get it up, even if it's too late for my brain to function! It's crazy how much there is to do this time of year! Anyway, Manhattan, Mia, and I made these cute little Reindeer out of this:

It was simple enough for a two year old to help! The girls brought them to all the kids in their classes as a cute holiday treat. Here is where I got the idea, via Pinterist! As an added tasty bonus, I dipped some of the pretzels in the extra melted chocolate. Yum!

Swap Time!

And the partners are in...

I'm SOOO excited to do the ornament swap again, hosted by Freshly Blended, whose blog, I will add, I absolutely LOVE. This is my third year now, and I can easily say it has become one of my favorite holiday tradition. Last year I never posted pictures of the ornaments I made or the ornaments I received, I'm very sad to admit. This year I promise to do better. I will say that I hid my post from two years ago with my ornaments, because my ornaments this year will be similar in style, but slightly different in design, and I don't want to ruin the wonderful surprise for my wonderful swap partners.

I'm also going to wait until after I have sent them all out to add them to my Etsy store. I've been doing a lot of product development the last little while, and have something very exciting to share. I'll hopefully add the new products in the next day or two. Wish me luck!

Ornament Swap Ornaments

I know, I know. It's been almost two weeks since Christmas, so no one really wants to see more Christmas ornaments, but I said I was going to post about them. So, here they are.

Triangle Pouch from swap-bot user "Calendula."

Mini mittens from "gidgeflibbit."

Felted snowman from "nysa."

Two headed dear from Jane Wynn.

Red felted ball from "etiecke."

Golden snowflake from "MonkeysInk."

Felt tree from "dianedundee."

Paper Bird from Paper Lady Invites.

Dear Crossing! From Zebula Designs.

There should be one more, but I never received the 10th. I don't think they got sent out. It was fun to participate, and I think I'll try and do it next year too. I think the mini mittens might just be my favorites.

Ornament Swap

I'm so excited! I just found this today, and luckily today is the deadline, so I can participate! I get to make Christmas tree ornaments and send out 8-10 to people assigned to me, and then I receive 8-10 in the mail from different people. How exciting is that! I'll be sure to post pics of my ornaments and all that I receive.

Also, swap-bot, the site where this swap is hosted, hosts many other swaps that anyone is able to participate in for free. Check it out!
