Ornament exchange

I recieved my ornament yesterday. ibeanniebe had my name and she chose a basket of blueberries ornament  for me. So appropriate!  Thank you Ann for putting so much thought into this exchange! Did anyone else get an ornament they love?

That is my second post that I forgot "i before e except after c"  received-received-received. sorry for the mispell

Many of you know that I have Havanese dogs and Carolyn, aka Grammy Lew got my name and sent me a little puppy climbing out of a giftbox with a Santa's cap and it really does look like it could be a little Havanese puppy. I immediately put  it on our tree in the family that if filled with fun items like that and things the kids made. I used a sharpie marker to put a note on the bottom of it so that I'll always know where it came from and who gave it to me. 

 

I wanted to be able to personalize the ornament I sent also but I couldn't find my person on here. Evidently she doesn't post much and when I entered her name in the search engine it didn't pull anything up. I did put a lot of thought into the ornament I chose. I hope she likes it.

I know what you mean! I did not know much about the recipient of my ornament but when I was in a giftshop and there was a decorated tree titled "The Diva Tree", I knew I was going to chose one off of that tree---you know---from one  "Diva" to another. I chose a kooky-funky one so she would remember the kooky lady that had her name in the exchange!

A little aside about an ornament. After Thanksgiving when my daughter and I were just browsing and admiring the Christmas things in Target, I saw an ornament of a white hippo in a red Christmas bikini. It just seemed to speak to me. She seemed so proud and happy in her bikini and Santa hat even though she is a little fluffy and that's how I feel about my new weight. Still fluffy but proud to be getting smaller. No bikinis yet but maybe this summer.

Oh, and by the way, I bought the ornament for myself and hung it on the lamp beside my chair so I see it all the time.
