I had an ORNAMENT SWAP at my home this year with family and friends...we played DIRTY SANTA with the ornaments...that's always a lot of FUN!!! I hope to make this an annual party...think I will try and make my ornament for next year...I better get a start on it in August! I'm also thinking about doing a "BLOGGER ORNAMENT SWAP"...what do you think about this idea? Well the kitchen is almost finished...all we still need to do is the back splash, some woodwork around the bar area and put up window treatments...I'm really pleased with how it has turned out. I have some pics of it here in this post and will do a entire kitchen post later.
This is the ornament that I ended up with...I think he is a real CUTIE!!!!
My little helper...she made all the "sweets" for me...THANKS Mary Claire!

That's a great Santa ornament that you ended up with. I think a blogger ornament swap sounds like a great idea too!
Your house looks beautiful and very festive. I love the dining room color.
Have a wonderful holiday.

I'd love to do an ornament swap online! I think that sounds like a great idea! (But then I had better get myself organized.)
Everything looks so nice for your party. What a nice helper you had!
I spotted that tablecloth, and looked at it with longing! lol
