Big thanks to everyone who sent me ornaments and thank you goodies. I love them all. Me and the kids had fun opening everything. Sorry it took so long to get the pics up but had to write everything down, take the pics, then post. I am also in the middle of cooking for a Church program in the morning and our annual Christmas 4H dinner.
First up is one of my partners for the swap. MFay, she sent me an amazing heart that is made from antique thread. This thread once belonged to her Nana who passed away in 1966. I feel so blessed that she choose to use the last of this thread to make an ornament for me.

Second, is my other partner for the swap. She sent lots of goodies that I am loving. A Santa, a tree, an eaten gingerbread man, a wreath, and some Xmas fabric.

Third is from Dfelder and Anoka Quilter. The both sent a fat quarter of fabric. Dfelker also sent travel packets of coffee and tea. Anoka Quilter also sent a stunning triangle ornament.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]501435[/ATTACH]
Fourth, is a very adorable Square ornament from Kiffie. Peach colored fat quarter from Momma Rose, and an ornament with penquins on it. Love those colors.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]501437[/ATTACH]
Fifth is from Mary Lawson. She sent one of the sewing machine ornaments that I have been wanting along with the darling sewing machine earrings, and candy all in a reusable gift box. The Christmas tree with all those little flashy ornaments is from Susan Pope. I still cant decide which side to have showing when I hang it on the tree
[ATTACH=CONFIG]501439[/ATTACH]
Sixth, A Snowman Kit that I was thinking was such a great idea. I gives you the excitement of receiving a gift and making something. Along with that was a flying geese mini quilted keychain and two fat quarters all from PenniF. The Red Metallic Ornament fabric is from Quilty Loiuse, she also included a razor style seam ripper. Never used one of these kind but looking forward to trying it out.

Seventh is from Jaba. She sent a fat quarter bundle in my favorite colors (earth tones) Along with some coffee. They are gorgeous.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]501441[/ATTACH]
Eighth is from OkSewnSew. She sent me a fabric postcard. I have never received on of these and love it. Also included was poinsettia fabric and the sweetest little Rudolph ornament.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]501442[/ATTACH]
Last but not least some fat quarters. The blue and burgandy floral is from Patches and the white with blue stars is form Paintmejudy.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]501444[/ATTACH]
Thank you so much ladies for sending all of these goodies. I am completely overjoyed with them all and in awe of how generous and thoughtful all of you are. Thanks again and wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Now everyone else get those pics up here so we all can enjoy your goodies.

Why do my pics always come out like that. I seriously need a new camera.
I will be checking in every once in a while to check out what everyone else received. Also dont forget now is the time to start commenting on things you would like to see for future swaps. This includes swap themes, item, games played during those swaps, and even prizes to be awarded to the winners of the games. Let me know cuz if you dont then you most likely wont see it. I will be writing down all suggestions.
I will try to get pics once my tree is up. Thanks again everyone

Took me a little while to post my wonderful gifts...when I opened my computer it decided it was time to do an update and took over an hour!!
Thank you, thank you, and thanks again! to jaba and mdall!!
jaba I absolutely LOVE the reindeer!! The tissue holder and bag for the car are perfect! Can't wait to show it off when I car pool next week! And the Andes mints are one of my favorite! I just need to hide them before my kid sneaks off with them!
mdall, the ornaments are wonderful!! Love the look of the pine cone one! I remember you teasing us with pictures earlier and I was thinking that it would be a fun one to make too...I was also coveting one of the stilettos...lucky me I got both!
This has been so much fun!! So many beautiful and fun ornaments being shown!!

LOLO Michelle, the "postcard" is not a postcard, it is a MugRug... I'm setting here chuckling.. guess I should have noted that in the card. Glad you liked them.
I had to read and oogle over all the posts before I could post mine.. The "Snowman Kit" picture is what I received from PenniF..I love it, brings a smile to my face.. If only you knew how many tissues I go thru in a day, you'd have sent a BOX of tissues...hahaha, the sewing kit is adorable... Thanks so much.
The Snowmen are from Crafty Darlene. They are so cute-love the lited one. I love the fat qtr. too..Thanks a bunch.

OkSewnSew, sorry I got it confused. I will add it to the mugrugs I have in my sewing area. I know I am supposed to use them for what they were meant for but I love them so much that I put them in my sewing area so I can admire them while in there. they do get used on occasion while I am snacking in my area.

Got here a little late tonight....and spent some time catching up and oogling all the adorable ornaments - many of which i've not seen before - and plan to describe in detail in my notebook for future reference.
Hope y'all won't mind if i post my pictures separately - as i want to give everyone their proper thank you. This embroidered gingerbread man and snowman came half way round the world from Nattoddboyd in Western Australia. Thanks you SO VERY MUCH --- they are just too cute for words. I laid them on the dark fabric so they would show up well.

Ok...Next is this amazing banner from RoseIrish48.....Her posts about the trials and tribulations that she went through making one and then remaking one...a true labor of love. I cannot wait to get the tree up so that I can hang it front and center. It's just so beautiful. Thank you.
