"CHRISTMAS IN THE KITCHEN" SWAP ITEMS

We're all children at heart and when we get a package in the mail it's so exciting!

My swap partner this year was Dorothy of Hens Rule, and we're also Facebook buddies! Here are the wonderful presents I received from her:

When I opened the Priority Mail box, this was inside.

And inside that box was all of this!

Let's go through them! These are photos of what she made. The other goodies you can see in the photo above.

Pretty, pretty tag with velvety rick rack and a vintage wreath!

This monogram S is so "perfect" that I thought she bought it - I love it!

This is so serene and I love that I can keep it up all winter!

Pretty in Pink is this shaker decoration! Perfect!

A cute tart mold serves as a home for Santa!

Do you believe she actually made these cupcakes? They're gorgeous!

The recipe for sugar cookies and an adorable pic on the back!

A whimsical candy cane ornament!

Dorothy, you went above and beyond the call of duty - 

thanks and thanks again!

Here are the crafts I made for her:

MY CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT SWAP PACKAGE!

♪ I got my package! ♫ I got my package! ♫

My swap partner, Becky of Crafting Capriciously, went beyond my wildest expectations and sent me all these wonderful things! (Caution: LOTS of photos!)

"Firstly", she made this gorgeous Christmas card!

Here is my ornament - so pretty, covered in felt, buttons and a heart. This is so pretty! (I said that already, didn't I, lol!)

My Christmas apron and white cupboard make the perfect backdrop!

Look at these: a roll of cherries "washi" tape, stamped fabric buttons, three wood spools with stamped fabric, and two crocheted washcloths/hotpads. Each and every one so unique and hand-made with love! (It's so funny, the other day I was at the craft store with my daughter. When we came to the paper tape display she was teasing me because I got huffy when I couldn't find one with cherries!)

Now, take a look at this gem ~ Becky made me a Christmas mini-album! This is so awesome! I always make stuff for everybody else, but hardly ever get around to making myself things. This is so beautiful!

Look, it's got my name on it!

Becky, I just can't thank you enough for all these beautiful items! You made my pre-Christmas days happy!
