Craftaholics Craft Exchange :-)

I just want to say thank you to Ann from Denmark who sent me a wonderful package in our Craftaholics gift exchange.
(Please excuse the dreadful photography, we have a house full of sick and ailing persons so things have been a little fraught for the last week)
She sent me a lovely selection of origami Christmas decorations; Moravian stars. And the instructions for making many more :-). Also a beautiful rolled paper bead necklace in shades of greeny gold...I have a perfect blouse to wear it with. And last but not least, four handmade Christmas cards which shall be jealously kept for decoration in my home, and not sent to anyone.

Thank you again Linda, for hosting such a wonderful event. Happy Christmas and Happy Crafting to you all!

Christmas Gift Exchange

Most years I take part in a crafty Christmas gift exchange hosted by the lovely Linda of Craftaholics Anonymous . This year I was partnered with Ann from Denmark and these are some of the bits I sent to her. There was also a second pair of crocheted boot cuffs made with mottled red yarn that I forgot to photograph and a bar of chocolate for a Christmas treat.

I hope Ann enjoys them as much as I enjoyed making them :-)
