12 days of Christmas

Last week was my second year of doing my 12 days of Christmas party.  I know I wasn't too creative with the name, but it has been fun both years now and I plan on holding it again.

This year we had more than 12 ladies participate, so our number was 15.  We each made 15 handmade gifts (of the same item) and then had a party and exchanged our gift. So we left with 14 different handmade gifts that others put a lot of time and effort into (plus one for ourselves). It was wonderful and so fun to be around such creative women.

I made some glass pendants for the party. They are tied with some hair elastics I recently tied.

We enjoyed some yummy treats and great company.  It was such a fun night!

I only got one picture and set my camera down to take more, but forgot. Thanks to everyone who came and participated.

Here are some of the gifts we received.  We had a brownie mix, treats, hot chocolate on a stick with homemade marshmallows, chalk board coasters, a key ring, hair bow, some recipe holders, Christmas signs, sugar scrub, cards, and a pin cushion.

Next year I need to make sure to plan it more in advance.  I found myself rushing to finish my projects that should have been done earlier. :)
