Happy October!
Not long now, Christmas is just around the corner.
I don't know about you, but I do get the tingles and such. I don't think I
have ever truly grown up.
And now is the perfect time to start preparing and creating gifts!
I would love to trade some Christmas Goodness Packages!
In the package will be
. Delicious chocolate/sweets
. A heartfelt hand made item
. Selection of fabric bits
. An unexpected surprise
. A Christmas Card
-
If you would like to trade a Christmas Goodness Package with me,
please leave me a comment and let me know the things you favour, such
as colours and other important info I need to know.
All packages will be mailed in the 3rd week of November,
and upon receipt you are not allowed to peek until Christmas morning!
{ promise }
I will only be able to take on a handful of trades, and will pick randomly from
the list of people who have been so kind to leave me a comment.
Let the fun begin!

ReplyDeletefor sure! If i am allowed to (even if there's still a huge parcel waiting to get ready for you here...) But my, christmas swaps!!! How do I miss them.

And the rest...well...that's a secret. Best -- Melissa

ReplyDeleteI love the new banner! You are so talented. I love this idea of the Christmas swap too - am I too late?? I would trade with someone else as well, but I don't want to create a ton of extra work for you. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a very good idea ! Je suis partante !!!
ReplyDeleteHello, Anna, I would be so honored to trade a Christmas surprise package with you!! I hope I'm not too late and that I am one of the lucky 'winners'. I love the country, cats and the color green (and your blog!).
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Tami
I'd love to be the one who can get your package. I love white + natural color and love to be in a room with a huge window.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't? I will! Love swaps, love Christmas, love surprises. Usually do not have much luck being randomly picked ;)
ReplyDeleteDat wordt lastig kiezen voor je denk ik, maar mocht ik er tussen zitten...
ReplyDeleteYummie chocolade... wat voor variatie dan ook je mag me er voor wakker maken.
Ik heb een voorkeur voor blauwtinten, maar kreeg van de week van een kleurencoach het advies om ook iets van geel te gaan dragen (al was het maar in ondergoed ;) )
'T is weer tijd om het binnen ontzettend gezellig te maken, voor een kaarstengek als ik een heerlijke tijd. Maar bovenal... ik laat me graag verrassen :)
En oh oh wat zal het lastig worden om het pakje niet te openen, ben van nature zo ontzettend nieuwsgierig dat wil je niet weten ;)
Nu maar hopen dat ik uit de hoge hoed getrokken wordt!
