I participated in Abbilyeverafter's Ornament Swap. My name and address was given to one of the participants and I also received a name and address. All of the Secret Ornament Swap Participants are bloggers. This is a chance to meet new bloggers and for others to meet me! All in all, it's a lot of fun.
While I was vacationing in sunny, I mean snowy, Michigan I got a phone call from my husband that a package from England arrived. Ooooh, I was so excited! England! How fun!
When I got home last night, I sorted through my mail and saved this package for last. I gathered my camera and made sure to take pictures. Here are the contents of the package. A lovely card that was handmade by my Swap Santa, a wrapped gift and a bag of chocolate coins. She said in her card that Christmas just isn't Christmas without some chocolate coins. We managed to save some for today, but I have to say, the chocolates were taste tested immediately.
YUM!
When I unwrapped the gift, this is what I found. A delightful and lovely little girl dressed up as Santa. Her little metal legs swing like the clanger in a a bell. She has metal wings and little metal curls for hair. Swirling around her are stars and gifts.
She has the sweetest little smile and rosey cheeks.I love it.
I truly love it.
Please go visit my new friend - Sam. She is the blogger behind The Life and Times of Me. I had stopped by her blog before I got her gift and really enjoyed her site. I will be returning, that's for sure.
Sam, thanks so much for such a lovely gift, a beautiful card and those fun (and tasty) chocolate coins. I was so looking forward to opening your gift and I wasn't disappointed. You were the best Swap Santa! Have a wonderful holiday.

I am so very glad that you enjoyed it, I was rather concerned that she might not get there in one piece due to all the fragile presents swirling about her!!
I wish you many years of pleasure hanging her on your tree!!
She made the trip across the pond wonderfully. :o)
I have to go get my tree this weekend and I look forward to placing her on it.
That is so cute! And I love chocolate coins but I can imagine they taste even better coming from England! :)
How sweet!
I am taking the afternoon to read new blogs. I hope you do not mind me stopping by. Feel free to check out my blog. I am having a give-a-way that will end on Monday. Three winners! :D
That would be so much fun to do... I love the idea of ornament exchange. Maybe next year.
There is a girl that I follow and she has an Etsy product for mail... it is called "good mail". Check it out. It puts that extra something into sending gifts.
What a grrrreat gift! How fun to have received international mail!!!!!!
Oooo, I love that ornament! So many different ones have been sent - it's so fun to see them all!
I like her - she's kooky!
Oh she's sooo cute!
