Christmas is coming...

and several little packages have arrived!

I signed up for a "12 days of Christmas" gift swap on Lorelei Eurto's blog and I'm gathering all the gifts in this old clementine crate.

Lorelei is a jewelry designer with a great mixed-media, arty, contemporary style that I just love, so when she posted this opportunity I thought it would be super fun to join in! There are 12 swappers and we each made a smallish gifty item, wrapped it up with our assigned number and sent a package to each other the other swappers. We'll open one each day from Christmas to Epiphany on January 6. So fun.

I can't tell you what I made since the other swappers might be reading. I'll be happy to share later -- plus show you what I received.
