Christmas update

 new nail colour to finish celebrating Christmas and to bring in the New Year!
 this is probably why I don't wrap when others are around...
there's always someone who does this!
 my lovely gifts from Erica in the No Fuss Swap for Christmas 
minus the gingerbread man ...
 some of my Christmas gifts from family...
 and finally my 2017 SSCS present!
Isn't it gorgeous, the stitching is divine!
thank you to Marcia,
 (I'm pretty sure that's who my partner was).
and below is a close up of her stitching...
such a cute design...
can't wait til Christmas next year to put him up on the wall!

I hope that you all got to spend Christmas with loved ones near and far. 

Thank you to Chookyblue for organising another brilliant swap, 
you're always so busy,
 but you take the time to do this, 
and I know that everyone who participates in this one swap are so appreciative of all your hard work year in year out!
So again thank you Donna!
