Playing Santa

I signed up for another swap...of a slightly different variety this time.  If you're not familiar with the Lillyella blog, you should be.  Anyway, this Christmas season Nicole hosted a Secret Santa swap.  So, I thought I'd share the little package I send my swap partner:

Since I didn't really know anything about her, I was directed to her blog for info, but not finding what I was looking for, I pursued her Etsy favorites.  I discovered she had added the "Snip Snip" fabric from Momo's Wonderland line {which, if you've been here long, you know is one of my very favorite fabric lines!} to her favorites in several colors.  So, I got out my gallon zip bag of scraps {I don't throw any away unless they are too small to use...ever} and made up a few things.  I'm really loving pincushions these days, I love how cute they are, how practical, and how quick they {sometimes} go together.  I don't know if she's a coffee drinker, but nearly everyone loves Starbucks, so I thought I'd do a giftcard and personalized sleeve.  Finally, I found this cute little pattern and bundled up some of my precious scraps {I even parted with some of the larger pieces}, for future use.  I really hope she enjoys it!

Then, I wrapped everything up, tucked it into an envelope, and sent it away.  I think today is probably the earliest it could arrive...but I'm anxiously waiting to hear if it made it {and if she likes everything}.  Oh, and I'm waiting for my package as well...

P.S. I will still be doing some blogging this week and next...but don't know if I'll be able to pull it together and have something daily...I'm trying though!  Merry Christmas!
