I should be mailing this week sometime. It’s going overseas, but I’ll rush it there in plenty of time! ---

[QUOTE=gardentraveler] 1. Thanks so much to **Eleanor of Aquitaine** for the lovely ornament. My best friend’s grandfather used to make similar ones (although I like yours better - please don’t tell her!), so it’s got additional sentimental value for me too… [/QUOTE] You’re welcome, I’m glad you like it. That’s the style I like best. My grandmother used to experiment and some of hers came out looking more like UFOs than Christmas ornaments. ---

I have my ornament, but it won’t go out until tomorrow, I’m afraid. ---

Mine went out today as well! I got mine from someone, I’m sorry if their username is somewhere on the package, I’m totally missing it. It came from Callary Canada, and inside was the cutest mouse! It’s hanging on my tree right now. I’ll post a link to the picture later. I got an extra treat of across the border chocolate too! Yummy! So to whomever it was thank you so much! I love it! ---

[QUOTE=Ludy] That was me from Calgary. I’m glad you like it. [/QUOTE] Well, color me embarrassed about the location! When I opened the package, it ripped across the address, and Husband swore it was Callary, and I thought it was Calgary. And it’s actually a Christmas Moose Mouse! He has antlers! And it’s terribly cute, thank you! And the chocolate goes without saying… Chocolate Smarties…mmmmm. And you’re right **scarlett67** , I didn’t think about it when I posted, but it was funny. ---

It occurs to me, I don’t think I put a name on my ornament. My box is a very small square one, if you get a round ornament it’s probably from me. ---

I didn’t put my name on mine, either, but I sent a card at that same time that has my name on it, and I’m hoping they arrive together. But my recipient already knows who I am, anyway. ---

My Round 2 ornament went out Saturday, so be on the lookout, **Mama Zappa**! As promised, it’s from the Vermont craftsperson’s league at Frog Hollow.
