When I saw I’d been given Treena-Marie as my recipient for Advent Swap 2013, I felt a bit sick. You see, Treena-Marie is one of those amazing people who can make basically anything and everything (her blog title says it all), plus she’s super-lovely (we met in April at Around the Table), and while the idea of the swap is that you make, buy or thrift, I’d already decided I was going to attempt to craft some things.
Gulp.
I’m nervously hoping she likes what she’s unwrapped so far – and that she isn’t inspecting my stitching too closely.
There are, of course, two sides to this swap; this year, it was a secret swap, so we didn’t have the same person gifting to as receiving from. Exciting!!
When two boxes arrived from Kimberley from Creative Chaos, I couldn’t wait to open them up…but Pickle was fast asleep in my arms and I had to wait. When I did open them, I was greeted by such beautiful wrapping that I felt spoiled already, and what’s been inside so far has been perfect. Kimberley is obviously awesome.
Exciting opening lovely goodies every day!!
It really is! x
wow those are really lovely gifts! It’s so exciting opening something each day isn’t it? and I LOVE seeing what other people are unwrapping too xx
Oh yes – when my boys open their advent calendars (thanks, Grandma!), I open my gift. Such a brilliant swap idea x
nawww talk about us ladies getting spoilt!! I am really loving this Advent swap!
I know – everyone has put loads of thought and effort in, and it’s so lovely x
OMG – AMAZING presents, you lucky thing!
I know!! I’ve been so spoiled. Definitely worth signing up for 🙂
Loving all my gifts!! Having to race to the tree in the morning to open them before the boys. I will pop up a blog post in the new few days 😀
Phew!! 🙂
LOVING your gifts and seeing how spoilt all the Mamas are .. .. .. it is a pretty special swap 🙂
It is, and I’m so glad I signed up this year! Thanks for organising it xx
