So I have a family Christmas get together in a few weeks. We are going to be playing a gift exchange game.

My understanding is that everyone is to bring 1 small wrapped gift, all the gifts will be put together. Then someone picks one to open, the next person can choose to either steal a previously opened gift or open a new one. If your gift is stolen you get to go again... Either stealing or open a new one. It continues in this fashion until everyone has a gift and all the gifts have been opened.

 

So in preperation of this I decided to make something. This what I came up with...

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Thank you all. I was a little skeptical of putting my makers mark in the center of the scroll. My idea was that it would look kinda like the scroll holding a coin. What are y'alls thoughts?

Looks great to me. I like how your makers mark almost blends in, yet pops. Looks real nice like.

I like it. It's a good idea to use your maker's stamp in a design. It shows that you're proud of your work and it lets others know who did it. That's what many makers did in the 1800's and it's still a good thing to do. Your stamp looks good in that scroll. If you wanted it to be less obvious you could not dye it a contrasting color but I like it the way it is. It becomes a focal point of a design with little room for much in the way of a design. 

Oh, and that's a fine exchange gift. Thumbs-up!
