Noel (Dancing Caps)

Another Flashback Friday piece...

In the early 2000's, I participated in a Snail Mail Cmas exchange, where we got paired up with partners (cannot remember with what group online). We were to send them something handmade, and a favorite recipe. This was before digital cameras & phones, so I don't have a picture of the whole package, but I do know I kinda went "all out", as i packaged this nicely, and included some votive candles as well as some small candies. 

Although this looks simple, it was a bit of a time-consuming project, as I lettered NOEL on both sides, then made it into a hanging by pasting the ribbon in between, and adding bells at the bottom.
I hope the recipient liked. Wonder if they kept it or tossed.

Not my best lettering with the Dancing Caps, but I was proud of these 2 letters.

I may re-create for our home and/or a snail mail pal.
