Thank you to everyone that has contacted me regarding your crackers it seems that the majority of your crackers have arrived safely or are on their way.
I'm really looking forward to seeing all your crackers and their contents don't forget the flickr group is a great place for sharing photos too.
Last week my cracker arrived all the way from Tennessee, Belinda's blog is a new one to me so it has been lovely getting to know her a little better.
Here is what I received.
a very festive cracker tied with festive ribbon
a super cute teddy that was quickly nabbed by Tomas.
Under the first layer of fabric was another layer
here are both my fabrics and ribbons,
next I emptied the cracker and this is what I found inside.
yummy sweets - these definitely didn't last very long!
yummy erasers - sadly not edible but very delicious looking - these were claimed by Rachel!
Some cute mini gingerbread men pegs
some bright hands buttons
a pair of pretty dangly earrings
two large red jingle bells
lots of bright green buttons
and three ladybird ones
and finally some peppermint chocolate tea - which i have yet to try.
Here are all my goodies together, thank you Belinda for being such a lovely swap partner my cracker should be winging its way to you very shortly.
What generous gifts you received from Belinda and all really fun. I just looked at her blog, she's a clever lady we could all learn from - her budgeting is impressive. Betty
ReplyDeleteWow - so much in one cracker - would never have believed it.
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute little bear! I should do this swap next year if you go ahead again with it.
