secretsanta – threads + bobbins

The office for our apartments closed for Christmas. Of course, my #stitchingsanta present was delivered on the final day they were open…when I was out and I didn’t get back in time to pick it up before they closed! 😦 I was sad because I knew we were going away the morning after Christmas so I wouldn’t be able to open it until we got back on the 29th!!!

However, Camilla then told me that she had Jessie comment on her blog saying that she couldn’t get involved either as she lived in Singapore. Well, a couple of emails later, I had arranged with Jessie that we should do our own international swap between us two! 😀

I have already seen that Jessie has received the package I sent and loved it! Read about it here.

Her parcel arrived a few days before Christmas. I was patient and I put it under our tree. When Christmas morning came, it was one of the first presents I opened…with excitement of course!

Jessie included a little note to explain each item.
