Right, the girls have been taken to rehearsals for their town play and I have finished preparing a roast chicken for lunch, it’s in the oven, such an amazing recipe and smells amazing! I just Googled Jamie Oliver Roast Chicken and there it was! Anyway now I can sit down and tell you all about the Christmas Ornamnet Swap:)
I love the season of Christmas and can you believe that it’s just around the corner? I am sure many of you have already started your handmade Christmas gifts for family and friends. I want to try and make each family member at least one handmade gift, but we will see…
Last years swap was so much fun so I am very keen have another one now in 2012.
If you would like to sign up for the swap here are a few guidelines:
-this is an international swap open to everyone.
-the theme for the swap is Christmas ornaments, you can use any craft technique as long as it has a Christmas ornament theme.
-If you would like to add a few extra items to your parcel this is totally up to you.
-please feel free to email your swap partner and get to know them if you wish.
