Ornament Exchange
I love adding new ornaments to our tree each year so when Johannah of The Sirois Family blog announced she was hosting an ornament exchange I jumped on the chance to participate. Penny of Penny’s Passion and I exchanged ornaments and one of us procrastinated (I’ll let you guess which one!) but finally our packages both arrived and I’m so excited to share with you today!
Penny definitely took care in creating a beautiful package for me! I am a wrapping paper girl and definitely prefer unwrapping a gift than pulling an item out of a gift bag. Although you will never catch me discriminating against the contents regardless! 
The rules of the exchange were to spend at least $15 pre-shipping on an ornament and/or additional items to meet the $15. Penny’s choices for me were spot on! 
Li Bien ornaments are favorites of mine! I actually also sent Penny one but thankfully not the SAME one! These ornaments are always so beautifully painted and include the year. They always look so pretty with the light shining through. I typically grab one or two once they are marked down (40% off right now!) and it so happened this was not one of the two I grabbed for myself. I’m so excited to have three new ornaments this year!
A special thank you to Penny for putting together such a beautiful and thoughtful package. Mostly thanks to Penny for her grace because my procrastination definitely put her in a bind! I loved everything in the box and have already grabbed the supplies to make the dip!
Have you ever participated in an ornament exchange? I love the fun of meeting new bloggers and receiving a fun surprise.

How beautiful. I need to check out those ornaments! Penny did good and I need to remember to join this exchange next year. With the move it totally slipped my mind. Hope you are having a good day! xo
They are so beautiful especially for the price Andrea! I had already purchased two others this year and I just love them!
Love this ornament! I am at the beach house and was left without a car for 2 days…..I have been thinking of ordering an uber to take me shopping! LOL I love the idea of an ornament exchange! Maybe I can talk my sisters and mom into doing that for our holiday get together!
I so need a weekend at a beach house with no car….alone! haha
This is such a cute idea! Decorating your tree with ornaments is such a fun thing to do around the holidays-especially when each one is as gorgeous as this! I would love to do an ornament exchange and find new ones.

These are just so beautiful and the lights shine just perfect on them. Hope you are having a super holiday season Sheree.
What a fun idea! I love that the ornament has the year on it! Such a fun package she sent!
I just love a beautifully wrapped gift almost as much as the contents!
After you posted about these ornaments, I went out to check them out. Love them! I got this same little truck ornament for my swap partner. 🙂
Aren’t they just beautiful for the price? I love them…have been buying them every year since probably 2000 if you can believe that! I know I was still single when I first purchased one.
What a beautiful ornament. I’m sad I missed this!
It was super fun! We should totally mark our calendars and host one next year! 😉
Oh how fun! New ornaments are always exciting and you got a really beautiful one. The one you sent Penny is great too!

The Li Bien ornaments are truly my favorites to add every year Lauren. I just love them. Hope you have a super weekend!
Fun idea! I’m actually attending an ornament exchange Friday night and it’s always fun. There’s lots of stealing an conniving but it’s all in good fun with of course lots of delicious food and drinks!

I use to host one every year Kellyann….when I was single and living in a teeny duplex and it was always the most fun! I need to do these things again!!
I totally wanted to do this and couldn’t remember which blogger was setting it up😜. Your ornament was adorable and what sweet extras. Hope you are feeling better tonight!!! XO
I think I need to mark my calendar and host one of these next year….it would be so fun! I am feeling much better than goodness.
