Oh Canada Team Annual Christmas Gift Exchange

Hello, everyone! The leaves have turned, and it's already snowed in some parts of the country, so now is the time to turn our minds to the festive times ahead. As we ready our shops for the busy Christmas season it's time once again to also think about our annual OhCanadaTeam Christmas gift exchange.

How does it work, you ask? Go to this thread and read the instructions in the first post. Jen, of JensDreamDecor, will be handling the match-ups between shop owners and will inform you where, and to whom, you are to send your gift. Please let her know before November 21st if you'd like to participate. Usually after we receive our gifts we share pictures of ourselves with our gifts here on the blog and on the team Facebook page. It's always lots of fun...come join us!

OhCanadaTeam Secret Santa 2011

Once again the OhCanadaTeam held a secret santa gift exchange and it was tons of fun! We decided to host the event on Elfster this year which made matching up givers and giftees a bit easier. It was also fun to be able to ask anonymous questions! Many thanks again to Mary Ann of TheBackyardBear for organizing and coordinating the event. Below are a sample of some of the happy recipients with their gifts.







Isabelle of IGBijoux received a gorgeous scarf and bracelet from Josy of JDArtStudio.
Josy, in turn, received an assortment of lovely paper items from Christina of j2studios.







Jen, of Jensdreamdecor received beautiful and toasty mittens from Mary Ann of TheBackyardBear










and Mary Ann received several stunning pieces of turquoise jewelry from Leanne of LeanneDesigns.







And finally, Karen of KarensRopeWork received a gorgeous necklace from Isabelle of IGBijoux, and Molly of LittleBearsMom received a lovely, romantic necklace from Caroline of DarkRide.
















The 2nd annual OhCanadaTeam gift exchange was lots of fun for everyone involved. Who doesn't like to receive a suprise package in the mail? Happy Holidays to all, and here's hoping that at least some of us get to enjoy a white Christmas. Stay warm, enjoy time with friends and family, and see you in the New Year!!!

Friday Finds: ceramic Christmas Tree Snowflake Ornaments by ButlerPottery

Joyce has created these beautiful snowflakes ornaments out of ceramic. She first rolls out some clay and then cuts the shape. After brushing the color she then fires the ornament for the second time and brushes a mother-of-pearl glaze to give it some iridescence. These ornaments come in blue, brown or purple and would make a beautiful gift set. You can start your own handmade tradition! Visit Joyce's shop to see more of her ceramic creations!

Friday Finds will be back in the New Year! Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Holiday season and all the best for 2012!
