Happy Thanksgiving! 

Thank you Nessy_86 for a wonderful GIANT box of joy!  I love it all!

My box arrived just in time for Thanksgiving. I will probably be putting a few of the natural ornaments on our table.  Nessy said something about a mountain of bubble wrap and popcorn and she was right. You have probably the neatest, nicest, most perfect wrapping style I have ever seen. Nothing was going to get broken in your box. It was impressive and thus deserved noting!

There was so much to open!  I'm excited about the advent calendar. A chocolate a day and I really enjoy advent calendars.  I'm always tempted to open doors early.  There were lots of pretty stickers (which I collect) and more in the card not pictured, yummy chocolate, red hots (yay! I dug into them already), gummi fruits, and French vanilla hot cocoa.  I had just run out of my cocoa from the mug swap and I was thinking about going out to get more!  Good timing!  There are treats for my kitty too.  Nessy, your kitty picked out things he will love!  I'll take pictures of him playing with them when I'm back home.

So notice the tupperwear container?  This box held homemade chocolates!  You really spoiled me!  At first when I saw the letters I wasn't sure wht it spelled. Ha ha.  I'm a gold star?  No, that's not right.

I was always bad at word scrambles!

On to the ornaments! 

These are going to fit right in on our tree!  We like to put natural looking ornaments all over and these are so pretty. I love the acorn bell especially!  It is so pretty and it's my favorite type of metal color: copper/bronze.  There is a pomegranate on one of the ornaments which is one of my favorite fruits.  I like that these have a vintage feel to them too.

A copper mushroom!  I have never seen mushrooms in this color.  I LOVE it!

Two super cute birds. The blue one is soft and the orange one almost looks like crystal in person. Both are adorable.

Three vintage bulb shaped ornaments.  I like the gold and white/cream colors and the stars remind me of childhood favorite ornaments. They are going to be an elegant touch to our tree.

Bells!   I love bells!

Nessy did you make the wooden ornaments?  I like each one.  The snowflakes are sparkly with orange/pink color combinations (one of my favorite color combinations).  The beaded snowflake also reminds me of childhood.  I keep meaning to find more ornaments just like that too. I like beaded snowflakes a lot.  I dig them.

It's hard to choose a favorite ornament, I like so many of them!  But I think this one has to be my favorite. A handmade swap ornament!

I leave this brag with a snowy photo.  Wait?  Are those icicles tied to the chair?  Why yes!  Nessy found the prettiest most perfect looking icicle ornaments I have ever seen. They look just like the real thing and I am super thrilled with them!

I really can't wait for the tree to go up now!  These will all look fantastic!  Thank you so much for everything. I feel so very spoiled!  Thank you, thank you!

I'm so glad you liked everything! I was worried something would get broken in transit so I'm happy that everything made it safely and in one piece. I went a little crazy with the packing materials!

I painted all the wood ornaments (the three snowflakes and the bells), put together the felt bells, and beaded the snowflake myself. I also painted the heart (as you noted). I decided to at least attempt something crafty with your swap box since you commented that you liked hand made things I actually really enjoyed painting all of them, so now I've bought a few for myself I hope to finish up before Christmas!

You were so much fun to shop for! I just couldn't stop picking out more stuff for your swap box.

My kittys are glad your kitty likes his new toys!

This was an awesome first swap for me to be in! I already can't wait for next year!

I love the handmade ornaments!  I guessed that the wooden ones were because of the colors, but I didn't know you made the bells and the beaded snowflake too. They look like they are vintage.  I'm really so happy with everything! 

[Tiffymh1fan]

Oh I like! and they will all look great on the tree!
