Description:

Last time it was Frida Kahlo ornament... This time, day of the dead ornament!! you dont have to have been in 1st to be in this one.. Start here if youd like!

You will have one partner to make one ornament (Not necessarily Christmas). This will be the second in a series. Next I am thinking of Catrina .. etc..But for this swap DAY OF DEAD ONLY. You will send a 3x3 or larger home made ornament. Store bought would be ok, but I think home made would be excellent. I will open up to international. As it doesnt have to weigh too much. . Don't forget the loop or hanger to hang it from. it can be felt, decopauge, knitted, painted, anything, creativity is key!! Quality made items will earn hearts, but extras are nice too.

If you go to flickr and put in DAY OF DEAD ornament.. you will see hundreds of great ideas for this ornament swap!

The next swap will be a Catrina ornament, maybe a shrine after that.. but if you have any suggestions for future ornaments i am open to suggestions! feel free to email me or put in comments below. You are not obligated to future ornies.. those will be listed in thier own swaps later. :D You pick and choose which you would like to do as they come along!

Swap requirements: Not a swap open to newbies. You must have completed 10 swaps and have been rated, 4.8 or higher and no recent no-sends. Please, if you don't really have the time, you've already signed up for a bunch of swaps, or lack the know how to make such an item don't sign up. I will check before assigning partners and ban anyone who has slipped in ratings or is posting on their profile that they will late in sending for any reason.

edited to add: i had a question about it being a little shorter than 3" wide, yes its acceptable as long as it is a little longer than 3" long. Hope that makes sense. Just make it a nice one and i am sure swap partner will love it :O

I will assign partners in 2 weeks, but feel free to start ornie now and have it ready to go. I will give two weeks after that to have it sent out.

I hope this is the beginning to a great collection of ornaments, good friends and a great time! Thanks all~!

The picture above was my inspiration for this swap: one of a few anyway. It is NOT my picture, only used as reference. Hope this sparks some ideas!!

IF YOU HAVENT SENT THE FRIDA ORNAMENT YET, WAIT TILL YOU SEND BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR THIS ONE.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I got mine done early. I'm insane...I know. That's what working crazy hours does to you. Problem is now, that it came out so darn good that I want to keep it. lol My partner is going to be a lucky girl. ;)

Isn't today the last day to send these out. Hope everyone remembers and the dead stay away until Nov 1.

I would love to have everyone post a picture of their ornament....I am so curious to see what everyone else made for this one...I took a pic of mine before sending, but haven't posted it to my flickr yet, in case my partner looks..I don't want to spoil the surprise....
