Finally, a new post!! And better yet, a swap update!!

Well, what can I say? I have been busy with life and don't get here to blog much, I spend more time on Facebook, though I miss blogging! So I am hoping to start up again soon!

I recently took part in the NOEL swap, which Monica and Carrie recently hosted. It had a theme of Noel, obviously, adn homespun holidays. I was partnered with Monica this time, and she really spoiled me!! Of course, as I am just sitting down to write this, I realized I didn't take photos of what I sent her, so please go check out her blog to see what I put in her box!

She sent me:

*a wonderful scented candle
*a banner she made with the names of Jesus
*an assortment of handmade stationery...Christmas cards, envelopes, labels, and a notebook! LOVE THIS!! It is all in a handmade pouch!!
*a wallhanging with metal stars, one of which is a cookie cutter
*a wallhanging with a fabric covered embroidery hoop and a wooden snowflake
* two other wallhangings, one with a snowman which says "Believe" ( I love snowmen!)
and the other is a metal sign which reads "Be bright and happy Merry Christmas"
*a handmade bar of Coffee Spice soap in a snowman tin
*a handmade fabric candy cane


I just love everything Monica sent!! Thank you so much for sharing with me Monica!! I enjoyed this swap so much, it is so much fun to put something together to send someone like this! Lots of photos follow!!

    Aren't swaps just so much fun?!! I absolutely love everything your partner sent you and how special that she made so many of the items herself. I can just picture your smile when you were opening up all those goodies:-) xox
