Hanne sent a lovely parcel that included a cute little stitched bag, a lovely Tilda Stitchery design and 2 smaller ones and some gorgeous embroidery threads to stitch them with. Thank you Hanne, I just adore everything that you sent and look forward to sitting done and stitching.
Carey included in her parcel a lovely big cushion cover, a rice bag cover and a Hugs and Kiss's stitchery and a huge bag of Violet Crumbles (yum), which are half gone already. Thank you Carey I just love everything that you sent.
Thanks to Donna for organising this swap, it was so much fun to be a part of. I'm just waiting to hear if the ladies I posted to have received their parcels yet.
Jenna sent me the best gift ever, a DVD of photo's of her and Max set to the music "I'll be home for Christmas". So you can imagine as soon as I saw it I burst into tears. DH and I are thinking about spending next Christmas back in Australia as a surprise for Jenna. Plus it would be wonderful to catch up with my son, Luke and my mum and of course all those friends still there, and I think it's something I need to do, to get it out of my system, so to speak.
I'll share more of the Christmas gifts later in the week.
Happy Stitching.

What lovely gifts you received from your Secret Santas! The stitcheries are beautiful!
The DVD sounds like the most wonderful gift, and I'm glad you made the decision to visit Oz next year. I do believe it is something you need to do for your peace of mind.
Happy New Year, Linda!!
They all look lovely Linda! The swap was fun to take part in! Christmas in Australia in the warmth, I think that would be great! Enjoy making plans!
Oh, wouldn't that be great to go "home" to Australia for Christmas next year! At least you have a year to plan for it and work toward your goal!
Your gifts look wonderful, hasn't it all been such fun, I am sure everyone who has been involved is happy with their gifts, how are those Violet Crumbles going, I am sure there would be none left by now.
