This is what I sent to my partner Leanne for the SSCS swap, a stitchers mat bag in a NZ print fabric, a bobbin lace bookmark, pair of scissors, NZ Quilter magazine, NZ pictorial desk calendar and the cupcake ornament
Christmas day was a relaxed day here, and as always a large part of the time was spent snacking...just our family for the day here at home...so no travel involved this year and no rushing to the airport after lunch, as usually in other years someone has been flying off to Australia to have Christmas day with family on each side of the Tasman...
DD1 brought these lovely peony roses to add to the decorations...
and DD2 spent Saturday afternoon baking and decorating a gingerbread house. We bought a kit last year but didn't like the taste of the gingerbread at all so she did it from scratch this year, much nicer..
