2008 Christmas Ornament Exchange

Every year, we put up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. It’s a holiday tradition. While most people get up before it’s even light outside to stand in long lines on the biggest shopping day of the year, we sleep in. After breakfast, DH puts up our tree and we spend the morning decorating it and the house.
Before the girls, our tree was always color coordinated and the ornaments symmetrically placed. Now, it’s just a mismatched of princesses, Disney characters, candy garlands, snowmen, and traditional ornaments. Nothing matches and I love it that way. Each year I take the girls to the store to pick out one brand new ornament to add to the tree. I put their name and the year on it so that one day they can look back and see what they chose.
This year, in addition to Girlie Girl & Baby Bug’s addition, I’d also like to add an ornament from one of my blogging friends. That’s why I’ve decided to host a Christmas Ornament Exchange and I’m hoping you’ll all join me.
Here’s how it works:
- Ornaments should cost between $8 – $10 + shipping.
- If you’d like to participate, please leave your link below AND leave a comment. The reason for doing both is that I’ve noticed that some people will accidentally sign Mr.Linky with no intention of participating. This will help to ensure that I get an accurate count of who’s on board.
- In your comment, let me know where you live (US or international) and if you’d like a partner from the US or anywhere world-wide.
- You may participate even if you don’t have a blog.
- The sign-up will continue until November 24th and partners will be announced soon after. Please try to mail out your ornaments within the first week of December.
- If you have any questions, please let me know.
