"Deck the Halls" Swap

I had seen swaps on blogs before, but had never participated in one. Recently, I somehow stumbled upon the "Deck the Halls" swap on the, "Some of This and Some of That" blog. I felt a little intimidated at first, but thought I'd give it a try.

First, we were asked to fill out a questionnaire, giving a little background on ourselves; likes, favorites, mailing address, etc. Then the organizers, Mandee and Brandy, paired us up with our swap buddies. We were sent their filled-out questionnaire by email and then the fun began.

Here are the items I gave to my swap buddy:A cute snowman to "deck her halls" with.
Some "Blessing Mix". I love the combo of salty and sweet.
Like myself, she too loves and collects Nativity sets. I found this one in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and had to get it, because it was so darn cute and miniature.

I loved the way my fabulous witchy shoes turned out around Halloween time, so I played around with the pattern a bit and came up with a fabulous elfy shoe for Christmas (check out the curly toe).

Lastly, I made this rag swag. I had always wanted to do this. I think it turned out cute and actually started one for myself.

Here is what I received:

Yummy cinnamon oatmeal cookie mix (we've already baked them up, so I can say for sure they are YUMMY), some scented candles, a little nativity scene and a cute, miniature "Believe" (that has snowmen around it). Taylee asked me if I was going to make it a part of my snowman collection...but of course!

Thank you swap buddy. I love everything!

Thank you Mandee and Brandy. I'm hooked and would LOVE to swap again!

PS-There was one more thing that arrived, just recently. I need to take a picture of it and show it to you.
