Ursula123 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I am 1 hour ahead of you, so I guess yes I can. Next thing to figure out is how to post pictures to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I guess I managed to drag myself out of my bed... Here is my lovely swap! Must have taken hours to make! It's a quilted hanger with two chickens. It is definitely going up on my wall somewhere! And a Christmas swappee with an eye for detail. The chocolate and card are round as well! thank you secret Santa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 That is really beautiful Cat tails I haven't been up long but was really pleased to open a homemade hand warmer, a tape measure beautifully disguised as a poinsietta, what I think is a loyalty card/credit card holder made with the teeniest stitches and a letter from Santa himself to say I've been on the nice list I will post a photo later on using what Cat tails has suggested. Thank you lovely Santa xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursula123 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I love my swap so thank you so very much to my secret Santa. It is a beautiful crochet hat and virus shawl ( think that's what it's called ) so much work has gone into it. Also chocolate sweeties, these may last until I take the photo tomorrow but maybe not Once again thank you so much they are truly lovely.

Plum Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Happy Christmas all, nice gifts so far. Just got in and opened mine and I'll post a pic tomorrow, you can probably smell it from where you are. Its a heated pad with bird fabric, very pretty. A Sachet and a crochet heart filled with lavender and tea tree I think with a pretty crochet flower on it. Anyway I keep inhaling it deeply, very relaxing after a day with tiny one who took from 10am to 6pm to open all his presents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Pics at last hope it works Huge thank you to my Christmas Elf you've taken so much trouble and look at the lovely tiny Christmas card. I'll take another pic with it the right way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 These are my lovely things my Santa made me I should have done a picture with the little green wallet open but never mind. We are all feeling quite poorly with a fluey bug DS brought home last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 And thank you to my Santa too. Awesome - especially when I thought hey this footwear looks very professional! But inside not two - but 3 things! Ooooh! One said fragile! Then came the day to open! And I have a beautiful fluffy wreath - I hasten to add it is not still on the tree! Choccies - I think much nicer than Cadburys! Rest assured they are not anywhere near lights now. And some gorgeous snowflake decorations - now moved to different places on the tree. They have a little sparkle in them so look great behind or in front of a light. Unfortunately one set of lights decided to die after they'd been working a few days! Finding the one that's gone kaput will have to wait till I get them down now! Well done Secret Santa - that wreath must have made you dizzy!

Ursula123 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Sorry - will post pictures tomorrow, been running around like "Ooops, word censored!"odies business, OH has had proper flu, not man flu but proper with a temperature of 103. He has gone into have a chest infection and whilst coughing put his back out and has been unable to sit, stand or lay down for long. Then to challenge me I had to find a Doctor all in French, (My French isn't brilliant ) but I got there and we got antibiotics, we have also visited a sports massage chappie who has helped but said if he is still very sore tomorrow I must take him to the hospital, fingers crossed he gets better overnight as I am not sure my French will hold up. Hope you have all had a better Christmas and I hope you and your family are feeling better Luvachicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Oh sounds like a "Ooops, word censored!"py time! Hope your husband soon feels better! Might he have broken a rib with all the coughing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Sorry to hear you're both having a fluey Christmas. Hope things are better today for both families. That wreath looks good enough to wear as does the box. Pretty on the tree with the flakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Ouch Ursula, sorry to hear that - it's a Christmas you won't forget. Just popped on to see all the gifts, you have all done well - I'm still sad that I didn't join in this year as that is often one of the most interesting presents under the tree, my sister said eagerly 'where's your crafty swap?'. Well done everyone, I hope I will have more time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 He has gone into have a chest infection and whilst coughing put his back out and has been unable to sit, stand or lay down for long. I hope he feels better soon. I had that once and I couldn't walk either. Was one of the most painful things I've had - until my shoulder more recently. Fortunately no broken ribs but very itchy lungs. I'm sorry I hadn't said what lovely things we had all had earlier in the week but am feeling more up to things today. So, well done everybody for making such beautiful gifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
