Holiday Ornament Swap! Take Two!

 

Hello again!  I was one of the lucky people in this particular swap to have TWO people assigned to me!  Today I received my second package and wanted to share with you (apologies in advance for my poor photo skills today!) You can check my first swap post here if you want.

Today however is all about Jenny at ACupFullOfLife [her page is currently down because she is busy] who sent me this wonderful package today! The card had a lovely note to me and the reason why I am getting this a little on the late side is because she was on a fun vacation -- but had kindly emailed me prior letting me know I would receive my gift a bit on the late side

 

I love how cute the packaging and the card are! I still unfortunately do not have a tree up (I know, I know -- it is already the 13 and Christmas is on the 25th!  Eeep!) Until a tree is up, I have hung this WONDERFULY CUTE Santa from a bookcase knob!  How cute is the wooden beard and the tiny wreath the santa is holding? Thank you Jenny for my second swap package, I love the whole process, doing it again next year!

 (A bit too much photo flash, I did warn you -- but CUTE new ornament!)

December 1st!

I created a post the day I received my first package HERE

Holiday Ornament Swap!

Hello and welcome to my blog!  I am so excited to share the results of my first blog swap/exchange with all of you!  A very special thanks goes to the organizers, Dreaming of Dimples and Living in Yellow... Yesterday, November 16th I received a package from my partner!

A HUGE thank you to my partner, Taush O. -- I love the thought and time put into my package, not to mention the fact that you managed to do this while expecting (33 weeks is wonderful!) and having the baby shower to deal with! (Huge congratulations go out again to her and her family -- along with lots of prayers to all who are somewhere along their own baby journey!!!)

Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I tend to be very traditional and I love crafts/homemade items -- I could not have asked for a better first blog swap/exchange! Photos for everyone below:

My packaging and two gifts!

(Can you tell I am excited yet?? I received the cutest ornament and an adorable little pin to wear during the holidays!)

 

Cute ornament that looks like a gingerbread man and has such great detail - love the "icing" and the red hearts (not to mention the ribbon bow!)

 

Sweet little angel pin, appears to have come from a craft fair which is perfect for me!

EDIT/UPDATE: Kari at Cupcakes and Bling received and blogged about the package I sent her and I am thrilled that she loves it!  What a great first time swap experience! Thanks to all, and please go see what I sent Kari HERE
