Small Fox Ornament Swap - Part 2



These are my Little Lacey Angels that I made for the Small Fox Christmas Ornament Swap.  I think they turned out quite well in the end.  They look so cute all together - like a mini host.  I hope the other swappers like them.  They were lots of fun to make - I just used coster size doillies, wooden pegs, white felt for the dresses and heaps of glitter for a bit of Christmas *sparkle*.  .....hee hee, they even have glitter shoes - fancy!

I'm all a Flurry.......Frosted Flurries Apron Swap!

  



Surprise, Surprise - I've joined the Frosted Flurries (love the theme name) Apron Swap hosted by the lovely Shawnee!   I've really been looking forward to this swap and I can't wait to get my partner info.  This swap is really going to get me into the Christmas spirit - I can't wait to start!  As the theme suggests we have to include a Snowflake somewhere on the apron....super cute idea!

There is a little twist with this swap - instead of including random christmassy "tuck-ins" this time we have to choose a word of the season - eg. Faith, Joy, Hope etc. and find extras that start with each letter of the word we choose. Like....if I chose the word "STAR" I might send my partner a Stocking, Tinsle, Apricot jam, RedRibbon......

hmmm ....I am having trouble deciding on a good word though.....let me know if you have any ideas for what word I should use and/or tuck-in ideas. X

antipodes water company

drink chilled, drink often, live well


mmm...yummy.....  I just discovered antipodes water today.  It comes from Whakatane - Bay of Plenty, New Zealand where it is sourced 327 metres below the surface! .......hoohaa that's a long way down!  "This depth creates a pressure that ensures any seepage is outward rather than inward, eliminating contamination..."

Foxy!


I'm really excited about this swap!  I heard about how great this swap was a long time ago and I've been waiting and waiting for registration to pop up for this years so I could join in!  I have to make 10 ornaments that will be sent to Ms Small Fox and she will then redistribute them and I will receive 10 different ornaments back....such a fun idea!

I'm not sure what I'll make yet, but there is lots of inspiration on flickr from last years swap! Check it out - they are so creative and special, I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with this time around.
