Cracker Swap

How are you all getting along with your Crackers?
I've received two of mine, Kimberley's I've already blogged about here and today I will be showing you what Bea sent me. I've sent off three of my crackers, Bea has received hers (you can read about it here), one is on it's way to New Zealand and the other is on it's way to Spain for Amanda, my final cracker for Betty will be posted out on Monday. Phew!! that's a lot of crackers!!!

Bea sent me a beautiful blue cracker crammed (and when I say crammed I don't think there was a millimetre of space left in that tube) full of wonderful goodies. As you can see Bea also sent me a cracker joke and a recipe for rocky road, I completely forgot to add these things to my crackers!!! doh!

Firstly there was a hand knitted mug warmer decorated with pretty pearls.


Then inside were lots and lots of packages


tiny Christmas tree buttons


red and white Christmas shapes


a teeny gingerbread man decoration


three seed stick books


the prettiest earrings


a bendy magnetic man


a reindeer peg


a teeny Christmas lady decoration


a star pendant


a charades dice game


a cross stitch Christmas tree and some wooden buttons


some variegated green thread


teeny tiny red bells


red puff stars and gold and silver card toppers


more buttons


and finally four pieces of patchwork fabric.
I told you it was crammed didn't I!
Here is a photo of all my lovely goodies together.


Thanks Bea for sending me such a crammed full of goodies cracker, now I forgot to take a photo of my crackers before sending them off but you can see what I sent Bea here
Don't forget to add your swap photos to the flickr group too xx

  2. Wow tracy, what a generous bunch of ladies in this cracker swap, and isn't it amazing how much can be crammed into such a small space. I do hope you'll do it again next year - I would offer myself, but you have far more followers than me.
