~SSCS (Secret Santa Christmas Swap)......Received and Sent~

All the way by Royal Mail from England has arrived my SSCS from Diane

Included was this whimsical Santa Card

And 2 Christmas Ornaments......

We can open the smaller package

 but this bigger one has to remain sealed until Christmas Day

It was placed under the Christmas Tree today.......sigh, and now all I can do is look at it
Thank you so much Diane!!!

 This is the package I sent off to my Partner Dagmar in Germany along with some Lindt Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt

Out of this lovely screen print that I had purchased from Shop Handmade in Canberra

I made this little Christmas decoration......I thought it most suitable as she probably has a White Christmas

The ric rac is vintage now as I bought it years ago to make an Angel Suit for my Sister's little newborn first Baby.....

This didn't get made up so the ric rac sat there until I thought I would use it for Dagmar's Ornament......

Never mind now that the Baby is 35 years old!!!

I hope you enjoy your little decoration Dagmar along with the chocolate and now we both patiently wait to open our parcels!!!

Thank you to dear Chooky for organising this fantastic swap.......always a good one to be part of!!!

A Christmas ornament also had to be made which I did out of this screen printed fabric
