I have been so busy that I didn't get to blog about this project.
Some of you have already heard about and contributed to the Christmas Gift Ornament Project. The free Christmas Ornaments are available in my main store in Tropical Orchid under the Christmas Trees.
For those who do not know about this and still want to contribute, the details are as follows:
