Swaps, Parties, and Ornaments
I didn't do as good of a job taking photos of last night's party as what I thought I would (in fact I took a total of 0). However, I did receive not one, not two, but three of my swap packages in the mail yesterday. So without further ado, here is my loot:

Today's packages included the polymer clay buttons (I had specifically asked for Christmas type stripes and something that looks like candy buttons, aren't they great?), the gingerbread man scarf, and the winter scene necklaces. I still haven't figured out how the winter scene necklaces are made. I think that it may be printed shrinky dinks, but it has a white plastic coating on the back that I'm unsure of. I may have to investigate further, they are rather cool!
I am still working on a marbled\swirled ornament tutorial for those who are interested. They make great teacher & coworker gifts, especially if you're trying to keep the cost down. In total, between the ornaments, paint, and gift boxes, I spent a little over $4 on each person and still had a few leftovers (and one for me).
