12 Days of Christmas Swap - the reveal

I took part in Jo's 12 day's of Christmas swap for the first time this year and was partnered with Jo from the blog A Whole Plot of love.  

The idea was to put a parcel together containing 12 presents for our partner, one present to be opened each day from Christmas day through till January 5th.

I loved shopping and keeping an eye out for things to add to my parcel.

Jo's blog was new to me but i enjoyed reading back through her posts and finding out about what she likes,

I hope I got it right.

This is what I sent......

 .All wrapped up in snowflake tissue paper

 A pin wheel of pins, a cross stitched scissor fob and scissors, a crochet pin cushion

A little book for lists, some fat quarters, and a pattern for making a quilted bag 

 I read that Jo likes teas somewhere on her blog so I bought some teapigs earl grey, some cookies and inside the little hessian bag was the most gorgeous smelling bath bomb, (I hope Jo thought it smelled good too)

 A cute little tea pot candle melt burner, and as Jo loves gardening I thought a pair of gardening gloves would be useful.

I found this cute calendar in TK Max and thought it was very appropriate as Jo knits :-)

And here is what Jo sent to me.

I've never done any fabric printing, perhaps I will have to look into it more.
The Project Calm book has lots of ideas and inspiration, from journaling to scrapbooking

 A cute little book mark, always handy, and little bag.

 Some gloves and a pack of chalk board labels.  I don't know if Jo knew, but I do actually use chalk board labels on some of my storage jars, so these will come in handy

 She made me this cute little project bag, which I am going to dedicate as y sock knitting bag, (even though I have yet to start any socks, but I will people, I will :-)
And she also knitted me a wash cloth

 A pretty coaster and some progress keepers, (at least that what I have decided the are :-)

There was also a bag of Thorntons chocolates which Mark decided to eat before I took a photo and a lovely little ceramic hanging in the shape of a ball of yarn which read 'Eat, Sleep, Knit', I had hung this on the Christmas tree when I opened it and it has got packed away with the decorations so sorry no photo of that.

Thank you Jo for being my swap partner and thank you to the other Jo, who's (blog is
jo-throughthekeyhole.blogspot.co.uk) for organising it.

There are already a few 12 days of Christmas swap blog post showing up and it's been nice seeing all the goodies sent and received.

Until next time
