In this swap, participants send 2 parcels...a small one with a Christmas ornament and a larger parcel containing a handcrafted gift; the smaller parcel can be opened immediately but the other can't be opened until the traditional present opening day...for example, for some this is Christmas Eve, others it will be Christmas Day etc.
This is what Michell had put in the smaller parcel...
Now also on Monday I found that Tonje in far off Norway had received the gifts that her Secret Santa ( me!!!) had sent her as she wrote a post on her blog.
I had made the ornament after I made her main gift...it was a day or so before the posting deadline...so I was cutting it a bit fine! Lol
It all started when early this year I pinned this ornament on Pinterest...the link went to a site that said the pattern was sold out...
I pinned it thinking I could make one just by going by the photo. But a few months ago the pattern became available...so I bought it. And then printed off the pattern pieces and cut them out of felt ready to assemble...
I enjoyed making the elf and it wasn't long before he was finished....and my elf looked like the photo!!! Lol
And he went all the way to Norway, to his new home...my goodness, it's almost at the North Pole there and we know who lives there don't we??? Lol
