I had two wonderful Santa Sack Swap partners and so as to NOT upset either partner by choosing one sack over the other... I went with alphabetical order opening Kathy's sack first.
Here are all the lovely goodies that were either handmade by Kathy or purchased with me in mind. Oh Kathy... I just LoVe all my "things" and Oh what FuN I had gooing and garring over my lot.
I went through your gifts not once but twice to enjoy all your work and thoughtfulness.
THANK YOU Kathy... I have enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you- albeit only a little.
MeRRy ChRisTMaS my tassie friend!
Proving I didn't open the gifts earlier...
Just look inside...
I'm speechless Kathy!
~*~*~*~*~
And secondly but certainly NOT least...
I opened my sack from Laurie.
Laurie handmade lots of wonderful "gifts" for me... embroidering some lovely things to showcase her skill.
I LoVed all of Laurie's gifts too spending quite awhile going over her handiwork several times. Laurie is practically my neighbour, living in New Zealand and although Laurie has been in several swaps with me, this is the first time we have been partners. Again a huge THANK YOU Laurie. You have helped make this Christmas a very special one.
MeRRy ChrisTMaS my kiwi friend!
See still intact...
How very lucky I've been to have 2
such wonderful partners!
Thanks girls!
