The Ornament Girl Review and Giveaway!
Thanksgiving was a wonderful time to enjoy the family, feast on lots of goodies, and remember each and every blessing we have to be thankful for. It seems Thanksgiving gets forgotten more and more each year. By the time Halloween hits we've got Christmas on our minds.
Well, we just finished trimming our Christmas Tree and I am just plain delighted. It brings a whole new dimension and warmth to the house. We gazed and joked about each ornament as it went up remembering exactly how we got it. Do you have that ONE ornament that you just love looking at? That ONE ornament that you just wish you could hang all year long? I have a few in the shape of crosses that I want to keep out and add to my collection, but another favorite that will take convincing to put away is one made by The Ornament Girl:
This Christmas Ornament is absolutely breathtaking. The Ornament Girl hand quilts intricate designs on each ball creating one of the most unique and amazing ornament I've ever seen. Made with hand-selected fabrics and sheer, shimmering ribbons she layers them around a ball using an old-fashioned pattern she learned from her mother.
The Result? A tiny quilt embracing a ball and trimmed with beautiful ribbon, lace, or charms. I can't even fathom how much time, energy, and patience these ornaments must take. I was incredibly excited to review one for myself and when I received the ornament I probably stared at it for 30 minutes or more.. just trying to figure out HOW she does it! It's talent and perfection all rolled into one!
The great thing about her ornaments is she makes them YEAR ROUND! There are so many selections to choose from for Holiday's such as Valentines, St. Patricks, 4th of July, Halloween, and MORE! I'm not saying leave your tree up year round like some people, but can you imagine hanging an intricate, handcrafted ornament on your mantle for each Season or Holiday?
I've got my eye on one sweet ornament for Valentines! Take a look:

Sorry I posted twice about going to The Ornament Girl, something was sticking or not working when I hit the submit button so I clicked it again, and oops two entries.
I like the Candy Twist Christmas Ornament and The Old Glory Ornament, but they are all super fantastic. This has to be an amazing talent and skill. I wish I had it, I'd be spending most of my time making them too, because they are so beautiful.
Wow these are popular! I love the razzle dazzle. thanks, justicecw@hotmail.com
I liked the Patriotic Stripes ornament
Wow - beautiful work. I would be proud to have any of them on my tree. But, I am thinking about buying the "Handcrafted with Vera Bradley® Java Blue fabric" - it matches my bestfriend's handbag!!

I like the candy collection :)
Just love all of her ornaments as we all do, but just had to mention that she is by far one generous woman. This year she kindly donated a beautiful ornament for our auction to support breast cancer research. Unfortunately I was no the lucky winner of her most beautiful ornament. She is really a talented artist and such a giving person.
Hope I win this one!

Hi there! Easter Plaid is my favorite, I love the colors. I am hoping Santa leaves one of her ornaments under my tree this year. :)
My email is jen_mahan "at" hotmail "dot" com. Thanks!
Staci Ann makes some of the most gorgeous ornaments, doesn't she? And she's a delighted read on her blog! I have one of her lovely classic Christmas patterns that my husband gave me. It's gorgeous but the one at her website I currently covet is the Country Christmas Gingerbread House ornament. So darling!
Stacy has such a great talent for designing these timeless treasures. I have been making these ornaments for 40 years and am always amazed at the designs that are possible. Every one is unique! I love the candy corn, razzle dazzle and really all of Stacy's Candy Collection! Thanks, Nisha
I love all of Staci's ornaments, but my favorites are the candy collection. I would love to have any of them to grace our tree.
i am a HUGE fan of the ornament girls work! if u check out her ebay auction , you will see why. my favorite: the white christmas snowflake! i would keep it out all year long!
merry christmas one and all!

I bought two of her ornaments last year. I really like her Mocha Snowflake this year.
I love all of these ornaments but candy collection is my favorite. Awesome giveaway - am praying I am lucky.!!
I like the icicle one!
I'll tell you a secret... these aren't as hard to make as they look, but they are time consuming. And you have to have an eye for the ribbons that will go together. My mom makes them too!

I love the candy cane lane ornament. It looks delicious!
You are very talented. We were hoping to give one of our family members one of your creations for Christmas, but saw you were "sold out" for this year. We have bookmarked your site (which is also very nice) and subscribed to your mailing list and will be making a purchase when you let us know you have items for sale. Thanks for being there. Jim & Jill
Oh! I have been in love with all of the ornies but REALLY love the "Candy Collection"! I also have the "Ornament Girl" listed on my blog and it has been there for a few months. I will add more to my blog when I write an update later tonite. Will check out Momma's Findings too and add it to my page! Thanks for all the cool info!
wow how cute thay all are i love to try and win this for my tree pleasenter me in to this thanks
The Candy twist is cute and they are all exquisite. I would put it in my curio cabinet for all to see year round. Way to cute! ruthing73 at hotmail dot com
They're all so beautiful...it's hard to narrow it down to one ornament. However, the Candy Collection speaks Christmas at my house. It invites you to think yummy thoughts about all that is in store for the coming days.
(As an aside, I've placed an order for 4 ornaments and am GLADLY on a waiting list. What a treat it will be to have them for holidays through the years!!)
Christina - xristya@rock.com - I like the Victorian ornaments, and I can see why this lady is currently sold out of ALL ornaments at this time and you have to order individually! Of course such originality and fine craftsmanship would be popular!
I'm loving the the Candy Collection however they are all adorable!
I love these ornaments and have order one for a friend for Christmas. I also have my eye on a valentine ornament. They are really outstanding works of art.
They are out! Wow they must be popular. I do like the one up for auction- christmas color one.

Better late, than never! I purchased the Southern Lady magazine just yesterday! I saw the awesome ornaments by TheOrnamentGirl - Staci - and made myself a note to visit her website asap. I posted on her blog (#2 about the ornaments - by The Cake Lady - and after viewing them all for the past hour or so, I really love the Comtemporary Ornament collection. I just loved the Mod Dots, both of the Polka Passion ornaments, and the Black Mod Snowflake, but my most favorite IS the Black Tie Christmas Ornament!! I've never seen anything like these before in my life. They are truely breathtaking. Like you, I just sat for a while... and gazed at the intricacy of her handwork. I gotta say, Staci surely has patience!
I hope I'm not too late with my entry and I hope this gets me 3 extra entries for the ornament giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity to see MORE of the ornaments and to post on your blog for The Ornament Girl I'll be baaaaack!

I wish I had found The Ornament Girl's website earlier as I adore her creations and wanted so much to get a special & unique Christmas ornament for each of my three children ~ it is a Christmas tradition, one each year, and by the time they have their own home, they will have a treasure box of special Christmas ornaments for their own trees. I loved all of her ornaments, but particularly loved the Let It Snow Blue Snowflake ornament. Simply gorgeous. I posted on her blog, and contacted her by e-mail to get on the waiting list. My picks this year were for Let It Snow Blue Snowflake, Blue Icicle, Quilted Candy Ornament, and the Sparkling Evergreen Ornament. You must see these ornaments ~ absolutely spectacular! The Retired Ornaments are fabulous and shouldn't be retired! Thank you to Momma's Findings for providing an opportunity to win one of her incredible designs! Black Tie is dazzling! She is a very talented artist and I would LOVE to win one of her treasures! ~Patti
What a wonderful site, the ornaments are the best I have seen, to have such great talent and share it with so many. I have out myself on the waiting list and can't wait till my name comes up. As hard as I try it is almost impossible to pick just "one" of these when each one is awsome in its own way. I love the "ladybug' since that is my nick name and the "Mod Dots Christmas" is so pretty. It is my first time on the website but I look forward to visiting it every day.Have a wonderful Christmas with your family amd make memories to last a life time. Live, Love, Laugh.

I am in love with all of them I find the launaberger fabric ones to be my favorites because my mom has always had a thing for launaberger. She sold it when I was a little girl and the whole house is filled with it. I actually saw multiple fabrics that are on baskets that my mom owns. I'd love to buy all of them!
