Valentine Ornament Swap

When my friend Laurie decided to host a Valentine Ornament Swap I knew I had to participate. I'm so happy that I did! My only regret is that I didn't have time to double the amount of ornaments I made and be able to receive 8 gorgeous ornaments.
Here is the ornament I made: (I also sent one of these to my partner Kim for our "Valentine Heart Swap" hosted by Viv.)

These are the ornaments I received:

I'm sorry this picture is sideways. I've fixed it in my iPhoto so that it is rotated correctly, restarted my machine but still can't get it right. It is beautiful though any way you look at it!

We also made a Valentine Card. I thought I took a picture of the card I made but for some reason I can't find it on any of my cameras nor on my phone. Maybe I'm imagining I took a picture? Anyway, this is the beautiful card that someone made for me:

Laurie also added embellishments and this beautiful card that she made.

Thanks to Laurie for such a fun swap!

Lisa, I love your heart ornament that I received. I love birds and the little hat with the trim made my heart sing. Thank you and Happy Valentine's Day.

I am so glad that you post your stuff on here. Your ornaments are totally different then the ornaments I got so I was glad to see what other ornaments came in in the swap.

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
