Hello to all my lovely Friends out there in Blogland...
The weather here on the Coast has been absolutely beautiful this week...warm sunny days with a few beach walks thrown in...I reckon it's time to hit that water soon!!!
To start the week off I recieved a parcel from my Partner Carol...
My goodies are all in here...numbered from 1-24...one gift a day to be opened up till 25th December...and I am being very good and just staring at this box...and not opening it...And Hubby is amazed it is still sitting there unopened!!!
(I think he's secretly on guard!!!)
Thank you so much Carol...I am eagerly awaiting to delve into these gifts come December!!!

Then the next day...I received another package...with none other than our own Russel Crowe on the stamps!!!This one a giveaway win over at Miss Nance's !!!
All wrapped up in this fat quarter with a scrapbooked card...

But wait...there's more!!!2 days later another parcel...this one from my Stitchers Angel...Sigrid, all the way from Germany!!!
My Angel gifts all wrapped...and ready to be opened...

A little Advent Calendar card along with a postcard!!!
And inside...a journal cover with a rose stitchery on the front...a little bag...some lotion...and the biggest surprise...A Harry Potter calendar for 2010!!!
Oh Sigrid...how excited was I to see all this!!!
Plus a lovely little zippered case...rose fabric and threads!!!
The theme for this Swap was roses...how beautiful is that!!!
Sigrid has a wonderful Harry Potter quilt on her blog...if you get a chance and you are a Harry Potter fan hop on over and take a look...you won't be disappointed!!!
Oh Sigrid...these are the first swap gifts I have received...

Giving whether it be time, labour, affection,
advice, gifts, or whatever, is one of life's greatest pleasures.

Sounds like you have had a delightful week Dzintra. Those cherubs are just beautiful. What a blessing to share time with them. Hope you have a lovely week.
Ooh Christmas come early! How exciting. I am very jealous of your weather, we have storms and rain here in England. Above all I am SOOOO envious of your Granny status, I cn't wait for my son to start a family, so I can be a doting Granma :D
