Christmas Cracker Swap

Sometime last month I put my name down to enter Mad About Bags Christmas Cracker Swap (which you can read about here), and I was paired with Ellie of Feltabulous. We contacted each other and followed each others blogs, so we could get an idea of what we liked, and by the end of last week we both had our crackers ready, and agreed to post them on Friday. I received mine from Ellie on Saturday, she received hers from me on Monday, so now we can show and tell.

Firstly, Ellie's cracker for me:

Look how neatly she has finished of her fabric, which had a lovely holly design. She had included a Christmas card, my first this year.

The contents of the cracker neatly fitted inside the roll

All beautifully wrapped in seasonal green and red tissue paper

And, wow, what a lovely assortment of gifts, isn't it amazing how much you can fit inside a kitchen-roll inner tube!

Ellie made this lovely felt heart

I mentioned that I loved cosmos, so she had included a packet of seeds.

Yummy chocolate, a beautiful pair of ear-rings, a pair of red hearts, a row-counter, a pair of stitch holders

Lots of lovely Christmassy ribbons

and a keyring, with these fabulous polymer clay beads that she made

Thank you so much Ellie for being a great swap partner, and also a big thank you to Tracy, at Mad About Bags, for organising this swap.

Here is what I sent to Ellie
