Oh my!!! Just when I was thinking it can't be December already, and that it isn't quite time to get out the decorations...my ornament arrived!!! It is from Elm~ and it is the absolute CUTEST moose( or reindeer, or perhaps a dog! LOL) made of cloth with a spool of thread for its body and 8 tiny spools of thread for its legs! It has antlers made of little branches ( thus saying it could be a dog in costume!) and the entire ornament is glittery! He has a plaid scarf around his neck~ and he is just the cutest thing ever!
Also included in a heart-shaped box (awwwwwww) is a apair of tiny earrings which are little red/silver Christmas ornaments.

Thank you so very much, elm!!! You have now officially started the season for me! I love, love, love this ornament! And I just might take u up on the suggestion to put the earrings on my tabletop tree~ aside from the 7 foot fir tree, I always get a 1 foot live rosemary tree and decorate it. Pretty and it smells delish!

Hugs,
Chen♥

    I am still waiting for mine. Plus I have to mail my ornament to my CSN sister. I will mail it tomorrow.

    This is so exciting!!!!!! You have put a lot of effort into making all of us feel special. May God bless and watch over you.

    Chen,
    I loved your

    Chen,
    I loved your describing this. When you said 8 spools for the legs, I thought spider not realizing that there were probably 2 spools per leg. It's like the blind men describing the elephant and each thinks of it as something else. And the earrings sound adorable. I am awaiting mine and sending mine tomorrow. Love this so much.

    Truly, Chen...
    You, for all your time & efforts, totally deserve to be beyond thrilled with your CSN O.E. package! And how thoughtful of our Elm, a jewelry artist, to include a pair of earrings! COOL! :-)

    Kindest regards, 12/25

    That's funny. At first I thought dog with antlers. Then I thought Reindeer. Then I thought moose.Then back to dog... Part of the reason I liked it so much. It just had a "feeling" to it that I wanted to share-very homey with childhood memories of my mom and her crafts.

    Your ornament sounds
    Your ornament sounds adorable--how clever! And what fun this has been!

    Santa Chen, we think alike! I have 3 two foot rosemary trees on my enclosed porch right now. One for me, one for Katherine and one for my mother-in-law. It is getting a little too rosemary-ish in here ;-). I may move 2 of them outside, but it is supposed to freeze here tonight. Can the rosemary trees survive a freeze?
