The Start Of A New Year

Holidays are over and I am finally starting to relax... so happy to get back to my regular routine of sewing, stitching and trying the new things! So many plans, so little time :)...

Anyway, I just wanted to show my wonderful Advent Exchange from Robyn - unwraped! and say Thank you to both of my Christmas Exchange partners, Robyn from Nebraska and Irina from Oregon. It was wonderful gifts and I had a lot of fun with it!

Advent Exchange days 1- 5

You all are probably wondering what did I got in those packages :) So, today is December 5 and so far I've got a lovely lovely things - a Sugar Plum fragrance diffuser, a Spiced Eggnog Candle, the desert molds shaped as Santa and a snowmmen - can not wait to make something in it! :), a cross stitch books by Stoney Creek and Cross My Heart (cute Christmas designs and English Cottages, my favorite!:) I love everything so far - thank you, Robyn!

Advent Exchange 2009

I was so excited to participate in Advent Exchange this year! So, I submitted an application in October through my Counted Cross Stitch Group and received my exchange partner wish list. I was so excited to play a secret Santa! I bought all the 25 gifts, made a pretty fabric bags and tags for all of them, and finally packed them and sent them to Melia in Colorado. I hope she will like them!

And then yesterday - what a surprise, I guess I was good this year :))) A box came for me in a mail yesterday. I opened it... 25 little nicely wrapped packages!!! Oh, I am so tempted to open one. But I will have to wait until the December 1 :) Thank you so much, Robyn!
