I am finally home, my son is on the mend and has started to drive again so I have some time to post about my Xmas Swaps. I have been a bit stressed getting them all finished but have managed to send these on there way over the last few weeks.
Parcels for Chookyblue's Secret Santa Christmas Swap.
I know that my parcel has been received by Sharon and she has opened the tree ornament so I can show this. I saw these little wine charms so included them with it also.
I have received my parcel from my SSCS Elf who has been very sneaky leaving her name off the parcel so if she is reading this post, I would like to thank her for the lovely tree wall hanging which she made me. It has found a home on my wall already and will be behind the tree if I can ever find the time to put it up.I am looking forward to seeing who the sender is when I open my Xmas present on the 25th.
I have also sent off my parcel in Maree's 6 Items Christmas Swap. My recipient does not have a blog so could not check out her likes etc but was given her Xmas colours by Maree which was a great help.
I have received my parcel in this swap from Fiona from BubzRugz. Below are my parcels. Fiona also had a parcel that did not have a tag on it so I have opened that one but am thinking I will leave the others till closer to Xmas. Not sure I will keep to that though as they are very tempting.
This is the one I opened, isn't this gorgeous. Thank you Fiona, I love this so much.
My last swap is Cheryll's Santa Sack Swap and has been posted to Cath, my partner in this one.
It is going to be a busy week. Today my quilting group had our Christmas break-up and tomorrow I am going out to a concert and Christmas luncheon at the Logan Entertainment Centre with my sister. Then this weekend we are having our family Christmas lunch as my DIL has to work on the 25th and my 2 youngest GS's will be with their Mum from the 23rd. Never a dull moment in this household.
Well must close now as my hubby is hovering in the background as he wants to check out something on the net.
Till next time. Happy stitching.............
