Well the day dawned...July 25... and the day we could open our parcels from our swap buddy in the Christmas in July Swap. And wasn't I spoiled!!! Thank you so much Peg!
Some of the parcels were wrapped in this paper...don't you just love this Santa Bear???
So here are my lovely surprises from Peg...

wow Maria what wonderful swaps sent and received,well done ladies,this was such a fun swap.xx
Beautiful swap present to and from for you maria - such clever talented bloggy girls in this swap.
I had thought that Christmas in July was only celebrated by one of my daft friends, who nurses in Brisbane, as she missed winter Christmas cold Yorkshire so much. I had no idea that it was actually celebrated by Australia in general. Your gifts are lovely.....do you remember where they all are come December ? Jx
Lovely gifts sent and received Maria. Hugs.....
Very nice gifts, Maria. What a fun swap! xx debbie
Such a fun swap Maria....so very pleased you likedd my goodies......love what you have made for Vickie....gorgeous bunting....
Some lovely swap gifts there Maria.
What a coincidence that we celebrated Christmas in July over at Beelarong Community Farm on the 25th too.
I am used to this Australian mid-year celebration now I have lived here for some years. I tend to forget that overseas readers might wonder what on earth it's all about. Might be a hangover from the early Brits who came over here and wanted to celebrate Christmas when it's cold?
I love a few of the Comments up there^^^ funny ladies!!
They are great gifts made & received there Maria... love the bunting idea - perfect to flutter in our Aussie Christmas summer breezes! x
