Christmas in July? Well, not exactly, but it is an ornament exchange on Lampworketc!

I know,

the stores are already gearing up for the holidaze!

I know,

it's the end of July,

but I did join an ornament exchange on 

Lampworketc

and, so far,

it's been fun!!!

My ornaments are finished, 

and I hope to have them in the mail this week.

Since it was not a requirement that we make the ornaments out of 

glass,

I chose polymer clay.

Legend in Minnesota has it that if you find a cardinal in your tree on 

Christmas morning,

the upcoming year will be a good one for you.

So, I made cardinals.

However, these birds just didn't look finished, so I added a bit more.

Now, they look like Christmas!

What do you think?
