Chookyblue's SSCS

I've heaps of catching up to do with my blog but I've just popped in to write a post about the Secret Santa Christmas Swap 2017.

I've been part of this Swap for a few years and its rules are simple; a handmade Christmas ornament and then a larger gift which must represent effort and time in making. Chooky matches swappers with bloggers from other countries. This year my Secret Santa was Denice from Michigan and a few years ago I had been Denice's SS.
This is the ornament that Denice made me; I love it and it's so cleverly made.

Denice also included another decoration which she had purchased...

The smell of the timber is beautiful!
And Denice wrote this lovely message about this...

Thank you so much Denice for the Joy that your parcel and message has given me. And thank you to Chooky for once again organising this Swap.
And the bigger parcel will go under the tree ready for Dec 25!

How lovely, Maria. We used to have a Secret Santa or Secret Angel as we called it, when I was working. So much fun.

Oh so pretty Maria. Was beginning to worry about your lack of blogging but as you were still posting to facebook I thought that there could be nothing amiss! Do hope all is well and looking forward to your catch ups. xx
