Indeed it is perfect with the soap. My dish drain quilt is in use and it's SO pretty. Yes this is a really fun swap to participate and look forward to each year.

Kelly,
Thank you so much for the lovely stocking and goodies. I have the elves hanging in my craft room, I am going leave them out all year long! They are way too cute to hide away. Love the chocolate, you seriously cannot go wrong with me and chocolate. The socks are perfect, especially now when it's supposed to get below zero here in the next few days! I'm going to have to try the yummy tea and I love the homemade card, so pretty. I was oohing and aahing over the Lemax figure. I've never seen that one before and it fits in perfect with my village.
Thank you for such a wonderful package!
hugs,
Marcy

So today is the deadline for mailing out the packages. But have no fear, if you are late, email your partner or post your apologies here.
I'll go first:
RoDonna, your package will be late because I am waiting on a package to arrived by mail and I am still working on the stocking.

WooHoo, Santa stopped by to visit me today. Jill, thank-you so much for so many wonderful goodies!!! I feel totally spoiled with everything. She made a giant stocking and stuffed it with the following: Christmas panel for crafting, holiday notepad, hankies for my purse, cute cupcake papers, a cross stitch kit, a darling embroidered kitchen towel and knitted dishcloth, a "flashing ice cube for for fun", a darling ornament of a red tractor with a girl driving (Jill knitted a cap and scarf to keep me warm) yummy peppermint bark and a little container of chocolates. My husband immediately broke into the candy and the bark is delicious! Check out this stocking!

My kitty was also curious about what was happening on the sofa and you can see him peeking over the sofa edge. He is my little buddy and nothing new goes without his inspection !! LOL
Thank-you Jill for being my swap partner and for sending me such a lovely stocking!! I hope you an your family have a ver Merry Christmas and a happy and Healthy New year!!

I am delighted you liked your stocking. The Lemax looked so sweet to me, wasn't sure if I could pick one you didn't have. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

All I can say is WOW! I had to clear off more space on my table to show everything! Thank you Marcy for all the goodies you sent with the lovely Christmas stocking. I've decorated my workplace with the ornaments and will make some hot cocoa soon. I've leafed through the cross stitch books and I've seen some future projects. And the little trinket boxes are lovely! The swap was the best ever!

Winnie, I'm so glad that you liked your stocking. I had a lot of fun filling it. I loved the tractor ornament when I saw it and thought of your user name. The driver was rather Santa Claus looking, so I got my daughter to give me a hand painting his overalls pink (she has much steadier hands than I do for painting) and then I made the little pink toque and scarf. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Years too.

I received my package from Vanessa a few days ago and finally have time to post some pictures.
I couldn't tell whether she bought it and embellished it herself or made the whole thing herself. She told me that she made it. It is perfect and is the fourth Christmas Stocking I have received from this swap. It will be proudly displayed with all the others.
She showered me with gifts as only a sister can. I will start describing from the left:
- vintage nail kit (pictured below)
- two sets of note cards
- note pad and pen set
- a pair of soft socks with rubber dot soles
- vintage sewing tools (once belonging to my grandmother - pictured below)
- Styracosaur dinosaur
- package of tiny dinosaurs
- small cross stitched stocking with a tiny ornament (pictured below)
- a handkerchief
Vanessa and I shared a bedroom for 17 years, we helped each other thru all kinds of tough stuff and we've always been there for each other. She lives in Florida and I miss having her nearby.

I am thrilled that you like everything! I had fun shopping for you, and some of the gifts were just waiting for the right person and time. The little Bundt pan was bought in Nuremburg several years ago. You always had the neatest stuff when we were young,and you still do!

RoDonna, your wonderful stocking arrived today. I'm just loving checking the mail box each day this week, I seem to have had a special treat each day.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful goodies. I love peppermint tea and I was just about out. I'm sipping some right now. The apple corer/slicer is perfect as one of my favourite desserts is apple crumble. All the lovely kitchen utensils will be put to good use and I shall enjoy using the cookie cutters. The neck warmer is perfect as we are supposed to have another cold spell next week. The Christmas clips are really cute. I love the smell of the candle scents. The mason jar lids and straws are great, water bottles always seem to vanish around here while I have a large supply of jars. I'm feeling really spoiled right now. Thank you so much. You did an amazing job finding things that I like and will enjoy using. I hope you and your family have a very Happy New Year and a great beginning to 2017.
Farmgirl hugs,
Jill

Marie! I received my stocking today. It was so worth the wait. It's beautiful and I love all the gifts you put in. I can't wait to try out my solar light, eat my chocolate, drink my re and wear the socks. I'm giddy. #128522;
