"Tis the season to be swapping..."

Good evening all, its way past my usual bedtime for a Thursday, but as we are on holiday its all good - no terrible mad rush round in the morning, sheer bliss.

So, I thought I had better show you all how blessed I have been recently regarding swaps.

I joined in 4 festive swaps - the Snowflake Swap, the Cracker swap, the Decoration Swap and the Stocking Swap and was paired up with Katherine, Lisa, Suse and Liz.

What a very lucky lady I was to be paired up with these lovely bloggers - would you like to take a peek at what I received?  Here we go then...

 How lucky was I??

These are the things I sent out to my partners:

Thanks so so much ladies for all the lovely treats you sent me - all very much appreciated!

So, on a bit of a high from all this I have signed up to another swap, organised by all4meggymoo, - it is a heart-themed swap:

 As those of you who are regular readers of my blog will know, I love all things heart-themed!

Thank you!

Just wanted to pop in and say

A massive thank you to all 4 of my Christmas swap partners for being so brilliant!  All 4 packages have arrived safely, and Im being so, so good (for now at least!!) and saving them for the Holidays.

 

 

So exciting!  Will blog about all the lovely goodies once I have unwrapped them.

 

 

Woop Woop!! (cue: Snoopy Happy Dance).

 

 

Much love, Helenxx







Stocking swap

Hi everyone, well here we are nearly at the end of another year!

So I thought I had better post about the lovely treats I received in the Stocking Swap!  My partner was the lovely (and very patient!) Krafty Cupcake

Just look at all the wonderful  treats she sent me:

And dont you just love the darling penguin on the stocking?  We are massive Happy Feet fans here at Moonstruck HQ!

Here is what I sent to her:

I really enjoyed making the stocking as I dont think I had made one for over 35 years!!  Thanks again so much for being such a wonderful swap partner.

Anyway, this is my last post of 2011.  Thank you so much for all you kind and thoughtful comments and for showing an interest in my little corner of the world.  I have really enjoyed being in blogland and look forward to reading what you are all up to in 2012!

My bloggy-versary (what a word, who would guess that Im an english language teacher!!!!) is on January the 13th so will organise a little giveaway for that I think.  It ties in nicely with my birthday which is the day before!

In the meantime, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

much love, Helenxx
