I recently joined a '6 Item Swap' hosted by Maree...I think I'll dub Maree 'Queen of Swaps' now...she always seems to have one going and this is my first one with her!!! I am absolutely thrilled with my gifts from Thimbelina!!!
Thank you so much for organizing this fabulous Swap Maree...
and thank you Tracy for the wonderful gifts...I love them all and I can't stop looking at them!!!
Before the 'Grand Opening'!!!
I had thought about saving them till Christmas...but nah that didn't work!!!
First one was 'Something to read'...
A book in this gorgeous bookpouch... And check out the book...City of Bones...Vampires versus Werewolves!!! I'm going to love getting into this one Tracy!!! Perfect holiday reading!!! I'm never without a book to read!!!
This very thoughtful note that came in the book!!!
'Something for the Craft Room'...a little elephant pincushion...Very cute!!!
Something handmade...
And check this out...this little armchair companion by LeeAnn Beasley...this is a pattern I have admired for some time and had not gotten around to purchasing it...You read my mind Tracy!!!
And what gal can't resist 'Something smelly'...Coconut & Lime soap accompanied by a lovely scented candle!!! I light a candle most evenings Tracy...and even during the day sometimes!!! Just perfect!!!
'Something to eat' CHOCOLATE!!!
As I sit here I am having some chocolate!!!
'Christmas Item'...This one I was going to save till Christmas Day...I walked away from it...stared at it...walked away...and gave in and opened it up...and what a beautiful little tea towel...I usually get myself a new teatowel every Christmas!!! Mr Armchair then came into the room and said 'I thought you were going to save that one'!!! Hah...fat chance!!! 
All opened up...
And all together...sitting nicely while I walk past and admire it every day!!! I'm going to love using all this Tracy...but until then I'm just going to keep looking at it!!! Thank you so much Tracy...this was is soooo much fun!!!
And a big thank you to Maree...I think I'll be participating in the next Swap!!!
