Tia
of DomesticUnderground
became my partner in an ornament swap.
Look at the lovely ornaments that she sent to me!

When my hubby brought the package to me,
I ripped into the package like a women gone mad!
When I saw all of the wonders in my package,
I burst into tears...

Don said"Now what is that all about?"
"I am so blessed, is all..."
When I was notified of who my partner was, I, of course, went to see who she is.
Tia makes the most wonderful creations!
I knew she loved crosses and in my secret hearts wishes
I was so hoping she would send me a small cross.
It was to be "an" ornament swap
but Tia sent me so many gorgeous ornaments.
I am just in awe of the Lords' abundant bounty towards me.
I can not tell you how wonderfully blessed I am.
Not only did she send me one of her
beautiful pieces of artwork but she sent me

TWO crosses!
Now how wonderful is that?
When I opened the box there on the very top was this stunning
Victorian metal cone filled with lovely old
music sheets line the inside and more music sheets shredded, .jpg)

lace trimmed and a cameo as the center piece.
She had me pegged from the very start.
PLUS inside of that was another gift!
(A metal bookmark with the scripture
John 15:5-
"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me,
and I in him, bears much fruit.")
.jpg)
Then I saw "them",
the two gorgeous crosses!
They are so very beautiful that words can not express how much I love
all of the devine details, sheet music background and
the jewelry pieces added to the top.
They are truly a work of the finest art!
They are made of wood then covered with Tia's touch.
There was an advent calendar
(that I have already hung for my smallest grandchildren.)
Last but definately not the least
enclosed was this gorgeous lace card with a love note from Tia!

Tia,
I can not fully explain how
wonderful, sweet, and kind your loving gifts have meant to me!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
YOU have "made" my Christmas already!
Blessings to you,
Sharon

It was due to the magic of choosing what time you want your post to apprear in advance that today's post posted at 3:18am! You know I am definitely not up at that time of the morning....lol For some reason, my posting time is on Pacific Standard Time and I don't know how to change the darn thing!
I really am loving these ornies!

Awww!! You are so sweet to me, Sharon... and you always know the right thing to say and the best way to say it. I need some of those verbal skills :)
I am so glad that you were my swap partner, and that you inspired these crosses which were so enjoyable to make for you! I may have to start searching for jewels so that I can continue to make these!
Merry Christmas season to your home from ours!
Much luv
Tia makes GORGEOUS artwork, and I just think she is one of the sweetest blog buddies I have!

Sharon - Oh, I would have cried too - these are the most gorgeous and luscious ornaments ever. And of course, so meaningful and the cross is always a precious symbol...a true blessing. I think the Lord was really loving on you through her...

Hi Sharon,
These ornaments are just gorgeous! What a great swap. Enjoy these for years to come.
Tammy
What wonderful treasures!
Very lovely ornaments. The crosses are divine. The cone is out of this world. Sheet music and cameos;that did it for me. I definitely think your swap partner needs to make more of those. Wish I could have seen your face when you opened the package.
Blessings, Gerri
