Just out of curiosity - does the swap have to be Winter themed? Southern hemisphere have Christmas in the middle of Summer...

Not necessarily winter themed; really the theme is holidays, so whatever you partner might share about their holidays would be the theme of your creation.

Here are some I did! Two of the four have been from private swaps, since there usually isn't enough sign ups. I hope there will be this year!

I bought the snow from Amazon:

Aww thank you :hug: I've been practising for a while, haha! (Surely you can see the difference between the 2008 custom and the more recent ones... Which reminds me, I think we need another improvement thread, it's always fun to compare your oldest and newest work!) TM/WB is one of my personal favourites, too, actually. ^^
