Valkyrie Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have been allowed to open my envelope. I had to climb over the barricade round the tree and wow - it's gorgeous. Thank you SS. I will take a piccy of it tomorrow. A beautiful crocheted snowflake on blue card - and I can put it on my tree next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Ginormous parcel has arrived! I'm guessing it's my Omlet Swap as I'm not expecting anything else and there's no sender name. Interestingly, the sender knew my full name even though I just gave my details as 'Olly' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 You'll have to pop into the supermarket and buy some plums. Perhaps that will do? Just remembered - our postie has just learnt something new. What does Valkyrie mean? He ran when I mentioned smiting men on the battlefield to go to Valhalla. He said he wouldn't be arguing with me!

Olly Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Well I opened my parcel, thank you very much indeed to my swappee - it contains a beautiful wreath, a handmade card and some lovely candles. I'm dying to show them to you but having problems uploading photos to photobucket and have run out of time. Pics to follow, I promise - I am really thrilled with them and it feels as if Christmas has started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Na na ne na na Olly - Photobucket is working for me (at the moment anyway) Sounds a lovely pressie - can't wait to see the piccies. Here is my card - it's beautiful and hubby loves the little stars drawn on the card too. You have his seal of approval SS!!! Hmm seems Photobucket is happy to go large on me! Sorry!

Luvachicken Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Bit of a strange last day at school today but hey ho ...... my day was 10,000 times better when I got home and went in the lounge to suddenly see a big parcel under the tree. How excited was I !!!!!!! I did a few little jumps of excitement ........ and it's wrapped in brown paper with pictures all over it Thank you to my lovely swappee xx Also been sent a PM to say the last parcel is on the way Very pretty snowflake Valkyrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ok, hoping Phorobucket will now play .. Here's the wreath. It's amazing. All made from paper. I'm completely in awe of the skills involved in this (see my earlier comment about origami!). Here's a close-up: And here are the candles Sorry for the oversized photos , Photobucket won't let me resize them for some reason A big big thank you and a merry Christmas to my donor! The wreath is going to take pride of place in my hallway, I love it, and the candles will be used over the next week to get me into the Christmas mood!

Luvachicken Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 How clever to make something so complicated with paper - very pretty. And those candles too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 They look lovely! I am , nothing here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 My fingers are crossed that something arrives tomorrow, I know a Christmas Elf has sent an emergency pressie (which is very kind), as my swap has sadly been delayed. If nothing arrives, I guess I can look forward to a post Christmas present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Fingers crossed the Elf post gets there tomorrow. It's a pity we don't have post like in Coronation St - posted one day and arriving the next morning - sooo not real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
