Day 12

I think I forgot to post this, but this is day 12 from the swap and my secret santa was Paula B. "laughingstamper" at scs. Day 12 is Mocha Latte Coffee with this gorgeous reveal card. :) Thank you so much for spoiling me Paula! 

Day 11

On Day 11 I received 11 super smooth White cardstock sheets in a brand I have never seen or heard of before. ( which is exciting ) :) today is day 12 and we were supposed to meet up and open the reveal cards and such on SCS a little over an hour ago but, I cannot get into the forums on the site. I can get into the gallery and the tutorials haha. the Forums are saying there is a database error now when I click past the google warnings. So, I will keep trying back on and off throughout the evening. ( Nope, I have not opened my day 12 things yet) 

Day's 9 & 10

on Day 9 my Santa gave to me nine handmade blooms with some extra leaves to tuck in here and there. 

on Day 10 is 10 pretty in Pink papers with an idea book on making banners / buntings and some vintage pink bias tape. :) I have not seen an idea book for sale in person in so long it was such a novelty to unwrap this. :) I think it looks fabulous the banners on the covers too. :) 

Day's 6, 7 & 8

The gifts on Day 6 turned out to be 6 assorted trim bundles, some vintage and some new. :) 

Day 7 's gift is 7 ounces of Swiss Chocolate. ( the label made me smile and think of oh break glass in case of an emergency) haha :) 

On the 8th day the labels said things like 2 of 4 and 3 of 4 but, there were actually 5 packages labeled day 8 so, I opened them all. 

one of them had a sticky note titled an mishmash of 8 things. the ornaments were handmade the funny sentiments are from Hambo Stamps and the vintage holly is from Penny Black. :) 

Days 4 & 5

Day four brought 4 garden goodies, a nozzle, wand, clippers and seeds.

Day 5 brought five bundles of lace.

this container was way stiff so there was no telling what it was hiding.

a mixture of vintage family treasures and more modern pieces. 

12 days of Christmas {Swap}

I am playing along in an 12 Days of Christmas swap {early} with the gals inside wishrak this season and we started opening these packages on Dec. 1st... but, I did not have any time during the daylight for photos until day 3. so, these shots the first 3 days have been opened.

a closer look at the loot :) all the the wrappings are something I would have bought my self the colors are perfect for me. 

On day one is an vintage inspired hanger with an glamours gal painted on to the wood. with this tag.

on day two is a pair of vintage lace collars that belonged to my gals husbands grandmother... WOW.

I totally love how the holy triptych tag was done on this one I have never stamped the scenes into that tag frame so, its way cool to see. 

on the third day of Christmas Santa brought 3-D squares :) :) 

(which is like the best thing next to coffee) 

Second Time Around

I had Pansy for this swap, and the rules were you could not go shopping in a store you had to shop from your room... and she sent me this family piece embroidered with Pansies and I think it will be perfect to take to the spring booth in a few weeks.

here are some other shots of the whole boxes contents. there are vintage spools, many stamps, pads of papers spools of ribbons. do dads 

vintage laces and trims and an scrapbook album.
