wow! What a fun swap the Countdown to Christmas has been. All of the boxes have been really creative and wonderful. I wish I had been able to get around and see more of the 1,750+ boxes submitted for the swap. I did manage to find where a few of my boxes had landed. But here's a quick rundown of what I sent in...
To keep it interesting for me, I broke my boxes into sets of two or three, making each set similar. Of course there would be snowflakes, with beaded snowflake ornaments inside...
Cute little sisal wreaths adorn the next batch, with bookmarks in two of them, and a Santa pendant in the third...
Sparkly holly with scrabble tile ornaments inside...
Red birds and a snowman hold sets of earrings...
Red ric-rac and stripey paper set the stage for small garlands of music notes...
More snowflakes, with another scrabble tile ornament and a jingle bell garland...
Charming vintage-style embellishments hold holiday charms...
Musical evergreens reveal some vintage holiday pins...
And the last batch shows off some "crystal" ornaments.
From all of the boxes that I saw, I'm going to have to step-up my creativity for next year. Thanks to Linda for hosting and doing all of the hard work getting all of these boxes swapped out!
