Advent Swap Days 22-25

It's over! I am really going to miss opening a present every morning.

Day 22: measuring tapes! I must be a super slack sewer because I have none of these items Louise has gotten me! It's handy though!

Day 23: Super soft white wool

Day 24: Delicious Crunchie bars, yum

Day 25: Christmas!!! My big present was a cutter and stamp set so I can make cute labels for all my homemade items. Such I cool gift, I love it.

Thanks so much Louise, you have been a wonderful swap partner!

Merry Christmas to you all, I pray you all have a wonderful day and relax in the coming days. Xoxoxo

Advent Swap Day 17-21

Day 17: A bread saver, I was eyeing one f these up in a shop the other day, you soak it in water and stick it in the bag with your bread (or cakes etc) and it keeps it fresher longer. Handy!

Day 18: The best chocolate Cadbury make :) yum!!!

Day 19: Elastic! Also handy, I have
None in my stash, and now I do :)

Day 20: Blu-Tac. Surprisingly don't have any of this either, now I do!

Day 21: A super cool wall plaque. Now to find some space on my walls...

On the home stretch now, Advent has just flown by!!

Advent Days 13-16

Day 13: Werthers Originals - yum!!!!

Day 14: a huge roll of white thread. After using a few rolls quilt-making, this is perfect!

Day 15: Knucklebones! Fair to say I am useless but it is such a fun game.

Day 16: Some super cute woodland fabric and some cool green polka dot fabric.

Advent Days 9 - 12

Day 9: Some pretty navy yarn

Day 10: Delicious Hershey's Kisses (which are all gone already)

Day 11: Paperclips in the shapes of stars and hearts - so awesome!

Day 12: Stickers where you can create your own cupcakes and sundaes, nearly good enough to eat!

Pretty much halfway through now, I am useless at the old present feel so I have no idea what's coming up next. I can't believe how fast this month is going, 7 more workdays until we fly up north.
Christmas joy is creeping in everywhere yay!

Advent Days 6,7,8

Things are getting exciting in the advent swap, I am so impressed with the gifts Louise has gotten me. Good blog stalking!

Day 6: A two-stoppered bottle that holds both olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This is Daves favourite gift so far lol

Day 7: Tailors chalk in different colours, handy because I only have white and I use a lot of white fabric. Not a good mix. So yay very useful!

Day 8: A box of peppermint tea! Yum! My favourite!

Advent Day 3,4,5

The other day I forgot to open my present before work!! Shocking!! A whole day of suspense. I enjoy opening a wee present each day and seeing how Louise has interpreted me and my interests :) I hope she likes her goodies!

Day 3: huge sheet of white felt

Day 4: a super cute giraffe notebook

Day 5: some orange ribbon

20 more to go!!

Advent Day 2

Today's advent gift was an awesome play on words. Or numbers in this case. For Day 2 I received a Resene test pot of paint, test pot number two, which is a cool shiny silver. So clever!

Advent Swap Day 1

Today is the first day of December which meant I got to open my first advent present!!!

For those of you that don't know, I am taking part in an advent gift swap with a bunch of other awesome bloggers run by the awesome Cat. Earlier last month we got together 24 small gifts and one larger gift to give our swap partner. We got a wee sheet of information with their likes and interests plus their blog address for stalking to get hints from.

My swap partner is the amazing Louise and we had a quick meet up to swap presents a couple of weeks ago. TWO WHOLE WEEKS I have had to not open all these cool presents under our tree! But I managed.

Anyway, todays gift was... A personalised 'Amy' Coke bottle! So cute! and perfect for the hot market day we had (more about that later). What a cool start to December. I may or may not post every day but it is so exciting.

Happy Christmas Tree Putting Up Day everyone!
