... isn't it exciting, I'm one of those people that just love Christmas (apologies to all the scrooges out there)!
Last week I posted off my box of goodies to my lovely friend Lynda (Hookin' with LaaLaa) for our Advent swap
I also received my parcel too! At this point I can only share the parcels all ready to be unwrapped, but don't they look appealing?

Do you see that Lindt chocolate bear? He is now gone, he was rather tasty!
I have to add that I was overjoyed to receive a pack of egg nog mix, Lynda has turned me and Beki into egg nog addicts so anything to help feed the addiction is more than welcome, it was delicious too with full fat milk and a splash of cream and nutmeg ~ Christmassy heaven in a cup!
Isn't swapping a little scary though, I always feel very nervous that I have not sent enough, or that it is not to the standard required but I do like to participate anyway.
Most of my recent makes are presents for Christmas, swaps, and birthdays but I will be back soon to reveal all.
p.s. I'm very nearly at 400 followers (thanks to you all xx) so I'm contemplating a little giveaway when I reach the big 400, watch this space.

I'm a Christmas fiend too!
I just love "swaps" bet you can't wait to rip those wonderfully wrapped packages open. What's the egg nog mix? Havn't heard of it but it sounds delicious, Lucey x
Oh you know I loves me my Christmas!!! Those gifties look too precious--I can't wait to see what you get! I don't know if I could follow the rules--I'd have to tear into them immediately!
I like christmas.... in December! I do love swaps even though I have only taken part in two. Hopefully when I am less desperately skint I will be able to take part in some more and share the love :)

This advent swap has been so much fun but I agree with you I get so nervous when sending bits and bobs I hope they are well received! Looking forward to seeing what you get each day xx

How lovely your parcels look!! I got mine this week and it's so exciting isn't it?
I know what you mean about swapping being a but scary, I am always worried I haven't sent enough, or my makes are not good enough!!
Ooooh, I've always wanted to try egg nog but don't won't each raw egg (which most recipes contain) where did the mix come from?
