A few weeks ago Tracey organised her annual Christmas Cracker Swap, and I was partnered with Joy.
A couple of days ago a very exciting box arrived with a lovely little illustration on the label...
Ooooh look what is in the box...
Who knew so much could fit into a kitchen roll middle?
A pretty card with a sweet message inside...
So many thoughtful treats were unwrapped - Christmas tissues...
cracker themed bookmark...
crafting materials...
Chocolate...yum...
lip balm...
and the fabric used for the outer wrap of the cracker is so sweet, I love that it says Joy on it!!
Thanks so much Joy for being such a fab swap partner, I love everything you sent to me.
Onto todays Advent Calendar picture - I think my head is still dreaming away of Nordic Winter, I love this picture of a Christmas tree against a backdrop of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)...
Have you put up your Christmas tree yet?

What a lovely cracker
ReplyDeleteI love the Christmas tree picture, reminds me for some unknown reason of my favourite cartoon Noggin the Nog - don't know why........

Wow, fabulous parcel to arrive and I love that illustrated label. I'm very early with my decorations and tree this year, I think Julie and her calendar has made me unusually festive!! x
ReplyDeleteLove the cracker...haven't done a thing yet and I'm about to panic! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful swap, there is nothing nicer than a parcel to open and look upon.

What a fun package! Swaps are fun. I've only ever participated in one, and my partner was from Australia. If I ever see another one going on, I'm going to join it.
ReplyDeleteA fun swap, Helen! If you visit my last post you can see my tree with my baby granddaughter laying down underneath it admiring the lights :) xx
