Ornament Exchange

Last week I participated in Karen and Shannon's Ornament Exchange. I thought it was such a cute idea so I signed up. My partner was Meghan.





I was excited to see a box from Tampa in the mail Saturday. I love to get mail plus I knew there was something good inside so that made it even better!! This is the ornament she picked out for me.

It's a peacock!! I LOVE it!!! The colors are so pretty. This is a really unique ornament. I haven't seen anything like it.
I also like that it has a little clip & I can just clip it on a branch wherever I want. Now I'm wishing I would've bought some of those $1.00 ornaments from Walmart in the pretty blue color. They would've looked great with the peacock. I was thinking about doing a tree in the sitting room next year. I think the blue would look fabulous in there with the brown walls. Definitely something to think about! UPDATE: I wrote this post earlier in the week. Since then, I thought about it & I'm definitely going to do the tree in the sitting room next year. My mom is going to pick up some of the blue ornaments for me since I'm in full Disney mode. We leave at 2:30 today!!

Toodles!

  11. I'm so glad you love it! I looked for one for so long and loved the feathers and the bling on that one. Isn't it neat how it sits on the tree like a real bird would? I LOVE mine too...and in going through all these other posts I realized I didn't send you a card. Oops...I am so thrown together sometimes I'm just glad I got the ornament to you. Ha! Have fun in Disney! I'm heading North to TN! I'm following your blog and look forward to hearing about your trip!
