I entered a Christmas decoration swap organised by
the wonderful Laa Laa
It was my first EVER swap
and it seems that I have been missing something special
due to the fact that I am new(ish) to blogland
IT IS SO EXCITING
We were allocated 'swap partners'
I was partnered with Celeste from Prettee Craftee blog
We shared lots of emails and got to know each other
that was just lovely
We sent our parcels to each other
we planned to open them at the same time
and chat by email
(just look how beautifully they were wrapped...love those little hearts)

It was such fun knowing that we were both unwrapping at the same time
and look what I received...
Lucky me hey?
I L❤VE EVERYTHING
Thank you Celeste
I L❤VE EVERYTHING
Thank you Celeste
It felt wonderful to be spoilt
I do feel sometimes that us ladies spend so much time
looking after and spoiling others
that we neglect ourselves
so a swap was just perfect
I shall definitely be joining in next year too
Thank you to Laa Laa for organising it

I was so excited to send my parcel off
that I completely forgot to take any photo's
(I really have been the biggest scatterbrain lately)
so I am hoping Celeste will do that for me

I have had a busy little spell with my shop
all of the little Peckers flew out
;o)
They have all flown the nest
to spend their holidays with lovely new families
They have been so popular that I shall be making some for Easter

Maybe Bertie Blue will have a little family next
I have added some more Christmas buntings too

Now I need to concentrate on making some Christmas presents
Quick Smart
Hope you are having a good week

I have never taken part in a swop either ... but I'm very tempted after seeing all those goodies ... lucky you! I love, love, love the little crochet hearts.
ReplyDeleteToo right us ladies need a bit of spoiling too. Those beautiful handmade gifts look so precious and you had seduced me into thinking that next year I too would like to participate in a swap. To spoil and be spoilt; it doesn't get much better than that!
ReplyDeleteMiss you! Keep working ;-)

What wonderful swapsies you got, Jooles! And I love those little crochet hearts on each parcel, what a sweet idea. Your bunting looks really pretty, you do make lovely things. (And I am absolutely sure that if you make a quilt it will be a beautiful one!)

Oooh what pretty goodies! I've never taken part in a swap either, but it does look like fun (though does look like it requires quite a bit of organisation!) Maybe next year! Love those tiny crochet hearts too, what a pretty finishing touch to the wrapping. Hope you're staying warm and cosy in this horrible weather xxx
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog. Love the hanging birds. Would loves to have ordered one, however I live in Cyprus so not really time to order one.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in the Easter version as a gift for my daughter, when will you start selling them and what will they look like?
Many thanks
Ahhh thank you all for such lovely comments...as always x
ReplyDeleteBertie blue's babies will be very similar to the little baby robins except they will be in eastery colours. I will probably list them in my shop at the end of feb beginning of march, but i will blog about them before hand...of course :o)
