Thanks Ruth for organizing the exchange, Sarah your gift will be treasured, its always a little nerve wracking hoping there are no holdups along the way with the postal service but this year everythings gone very smoothly.

I'm posting a quick note to say may package arrived from Ann! Here's what was in the package. Sorry my picture doesn't do justice to these wonderful items The little lamb is darling. He is covered with tiny curls and has a pin on the back so I can pin him to my shirt or scarf. The "layers" of felt that make up the tree are held apart by tiny red felt balls that allow the layers to float and turn freely on the thread that holds the tree together. As the pieces move the metallic beads sparkle. The wool "confetti" is tiny soft little "purled" curls. These came with a tiny handmade card. Thanks Ann!

Yes, thanks from me too Ruth. The little Christmas tree looks sweet and I'm pleased that TerriAnn revealed the 'secret' felted beads holding the layers apart - I've just made some similar Xmas tree layers and now I know how I'll be assembling them!

Sarah, I can't wait to see your gift! Your gift from me should be there soon as it was mailed yesterday. Late, but it will make it before Christmas.

Amanda, It looks like Karen hasn't logged in here since Nov. 26th. I know she's been busy at work and still getting her house in order but I'm sure she'll check in soon.

It is fun to see what everyone makes. it can be a long slow boat to Australia sometimes.
I think it took close to 2 months when I sent Karen something one year. We where starting to think the ship must have been hijacked by pirates. It was crazy, it usually takes only a week.
