Lei, I just want to apologize to you for not getting a picture of the ornament you sent me posted until now. I just love it and the chicken pin cushion and thread catcher are adorable. Thank you so much for them.

Shanda,
I received my package last night!! Thank you SO much. I absolutely love everything you sent me. The little mittens were especially precious to me, I sent you a letter in today's mail explaining why. You do gorgeous work! I assume you also made the pretty doily?
Thanks for being my partner for this swap, and thank you for such gorgeous Christmas decorations. I can't wait to decorate. :)

Brenda,
I meant to post this yesterday but it has been a hectic weekend. Thank you for sending such lovely ornaments. They are just beautiful. I loved all the goodies you sent in the package as well, from the tea to the ribbon. I really enjoyed swapping with you and look forward to swapping with you again in the future.

Heather,
Glad you liked them! I tried calling today to see if you have received them yet. I left the extra string on the garland to see if you would know how to get it to stay in place. The little knots I tried didn't work. Did Nathan like his key chain? That's John's contribution to this swap! Hope you guys are having fun at the fair!

Betty,
Thanks for a great swap. I love the ornament of John (Betty's boyfriend) and Nathan (my husband). I also enjoyed the gifts - tractor and cow buttons, a cute cow puzzle, and the neatest garland made of aprons that spell out Merry Christmas! I forgot to put it in the picture, but the card is of a kitten in a santa hat drinking hot chocolate - it's adorable.
Thanks again!

Sandy,
So glad that you liked your little fabric ornaments. I hope you are OK. I fell on my backside years ago...and for years to come I had back problems from time to time. Looking forward to getting my ornament...but no worries take care of yourself first. Hope you feel better soon.
Hugs!

Judy I received my package today and I love it! The little ornaments are just precious, I can't wait to hang them on my tree. Tea is always nice too, and what a great idea on the sample crochet patterns. And the recipe for the choc oatmeal no bake cookies are my DnL favorite, I will think of you every time I make them. And my wrapped gift, is so pretty, Christmas hot oven mitt. Thank you so, so much. Please forgive me I have not mailed yours yet. The day I told you I was sending it, My DH and I were moving some things out of a storage building and I slipped on the ramp of the trailer and fell on my behind and hurt my back and hand. Thankful I didn't break anything, just bruised real bad. Anyway I am doing better and I will get yours out tomorrow. Thank you for being a such a sweet swap partner.
Hugs Sandy

Hi Shanda!
I am so happy it made it there OK and that you like it! I did make the ornaments and the gift. I thought the idea for the Circus Animal cookie ornament was just too cute not to make.
I will keep an eye out for my package and let you know when it arrives.
Thanks so much!!

Before I post much more I will state that I was paired with Heather, who happens to be my sister. (I'm totally fine with this and feel it was bound to happen, lol) My ornament to her has that funny family connection (you shall see when she posts a picture) that I was happy to give to her!
I received my package from Heather yesterday and it was all wrapped in Christmas paper! I was excited to find some cinnamon ornaments (I got some from her last year or the year before but they all broke) that smell so yummy!!! A adorable snowman made from a light bulb! Some tea and a new mug to drink the tea out of! I <3 it all! Here is the picture....JPG)
Heather, your package went out today and should arrive Thursday! Can't wait to hear how you like your ornament!!!
