This past month I participated in two package swaps! I LOVE swaps! They're such a fun way to meet people!
The first one I participated in was a Handmade Gift Exchange. I was really nervous about making things for it. You never know if someone is going to like them! But I relaxed a bit and had fun making items. My partner was Stephanie from Ontario! You can check out her post about what I sent here
I love the package from her!
She made me this snowflake banner!
This girl has talent!!
She also painted me a ceramic tree! It goes great with my christmas decorations!
It looks so real! I was going to take a comparison photo but it hasn't stopped snowing all day.
She also sent me some lovely Avon products! I didn't get a photo of them because I started using them right away. And Jon stole my hand lotion!
Thank-you Stephanie!
The second package swap was the one I hosted!
I swapped packages with Marie! I LOVE the package! Everything was so perfect for me!
Everything came in this pretty Christmas box!
Doesn't that cookie cookbook sound like an amazing idea! I can't wait to try it out! And the mug has a spoon! No more Jon taking my coffee spoon to wash it before I'm done! Thank-you so much Marie!
Did any other of my swap friends receive their Christmas/Winter package yet? I'd love to see what you got! Feel free to link your post up below
The snowflake swag looks great up in your home!! Glad you liked it. I love your gifts so much as well.
ReplyDeleteThe handmade snowflake banner is amazing! Very very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love Marie, she's so sweet :) The cup she got you looks awesome!
What great swaps! Even greater is the gift of giving to someone else. Thanks for the great comments on my site. Have a great Christmas if I don't talk to you again before then!
ReplyDeleteGreat presents! I can't wait to get my package from your gift swap :)
ReplyDeleteThank-you! I found the perfect place for it!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a dear! I'm excited to use the cup!
ReplyDeleteYay! Hopefully it gets there soon! I look forward to hearing about what you receive!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I think I enjoy giving presents to people more than receiving! I get so excited when I wrap the gifts I just want to give them right away! Hope your Christmas is great too!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you got it on time and you loved it! I had a hard time at the post station and I prayed all will be fine - It was such a pleasure to get all things together and make the parcel ready. If you think about another swap, you can count me in!
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a wonderful week.
That snowflake banner is AMAZING!!! She did an awesome job!
