Christmas Around The World Swap Package Arrives!

WOW, AM I SPOILED! I RECEIVED THIS GREAT SECRET SWAP PACKAGE FROM DEBRA FROM SAN JOSE, CA TODAY. 2 OF MY GRANDDAUGHTERS WERE HERE TO HELP AND I AM NOT SURE WHO WAS MORE EXCITED!
THE FIRST 2 PICTURES SHOW ALL THE GREAT PACKAGES AND HOW BEAUTIFULLY WRAPPED THEY WERE. THE GREEN VELVET STOCKING WAS FULL OF PRESENTS AND RECIPES.
THE 2 LITTLE ONES CONCENTRATING ON OPENING THE MANY GIFTS!
HERE IS A PICTURE OF ALL THE GREAT GOODIES I RECEIVED!
I RECEIVED NOT 1 BUT 2 BEAUTIFUL BAGS. THE LITTLE ONE IS HOLDING THE FELTED PURPLE BAG THAT IS AWESOME! THE SECOND BAG IS BETWEEN THEM AND IS AN FANTASTIC SHOPPING BAG MY PAL KNITTED FOR ME. CAN'T WAIT TO GO DO SOME SHOPPING!

THE LITTLE ONE IS ALSO HOLDING THE GODIVA CHOCOLATE AND YORK PEPPERMINT PATTIES WHICH I RECEIVED. SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE HERS! GRANDMA SHARES SOME THINGS BUT NOT MY GODIVA! I OFFERED HER SOME M&M'S ( FAIR TRADE)

THERE IS A BLUE CONTAINER FOR NOTIONS WITH A GREAT SET OF STITCH MARKERS IN IT. I HOPE YOU CAN SEE THE SOFT YARN THAT I RECEIVED. THE PINK YARN IS A WOOL/SILK BLENDS AND SOOOO SOFT.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS VERY IMPRESSED THAT THE PERSON SENDING IT KNEW SHE LOVES PINK!

THE OTHER IS A LAVENDER/TURQUOISE MIX THAT IS VERY PRETTY. MY OLDER GRANDDAUGHTER IS ALREADY PICKING OUT THINGS FOR ME TO MAKE!

THE BOOK IS THE BEST XMAS PAGEANT EVER AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE A CUP OF THE GREAT TEA I RECEIVED AND READ THIS BOOK.

I(we) ALSO RECEIVED A NUTCRACKER ORNAMENT WHICH IS PERFECT BECAUSE I HAVE MANY ON MY TREE ALREADY BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE ORNAMENTS!

I ALSO RECEIVED SOME GREAT RECIPES WHICH I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO MY SECRET PARTNER FROM THE CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD SWAP! YOU DEFINITELY BRIGHTENED OUR HOLIDAY!
