Christmas Swap

I signed on for a Christmas Swap sponsered by Brenda at Country Romance (see side bar). My swap partner was April, who is Brenda's daughter. I don't know what I was thinking and I want to apologize to April. I recieved her package a couple of weeks ago and it never occured to me to show you guys all the wonderful things she got me. I just don't know where my brains are lately. Forgive me, April. Here are the great gifts I got from April.

A whimsical sign for my walls. I only wish we'd have snow.....but I love the sign.

This darling little kitchen towel. I had nothing for the holiday for the kitchen, but this makes me want to get more.

Some yummy goodies.....old fashioned peppermint sticks and a gingerbread cookie.

For the scrapper in me.....some cute paper to scrap on.

Some scented pinecones. It's kind of funny because I had just bought a glass sleigh at a yard sale and I just know these are gonna look great in it.

Here's the sleigh I'm going to put the pinecones in.

April also got me a Christmas stocking with a Santa on it. I have put the stocking to good use. My nephew came by with his daughter, Skylee. She is going to be one on the 29th of December. She didn't have a Christmas stocking and she really liked the one April got me. So I hope you don't mind, April, but the stocking you bought me is going to be Skylee's Christmas stocking. I'll have to get a picture of it with all her goodies in it.

Thanks again for all the great gifts. I have already enjoyed the peppermint sticks and gingerbread cookies. I'm trying to find a spot for the sleigh before I put the pinecones out. I have to find a spot the kittens won't get into it. They are into everything. After Christmas is all said and done.....I'll have lots of pages of scrapping to do....that paper is gonna be great for that.

Brenda, thanks for hosting such a great event and I hope you do it next year and that I will be invited to do it again (even with all the mix-ups).
