Christmas Ornament Swap

Hi, thanks for stopping by on such a

busy week.  Can you believe Christmas

is next week?

This year I participated in my first bloggers swap.

The Swap was organized by Erica over at 

Golden Egg Vintage.

The rules of the Swap were that we

were to make two ornaments and a tag

in a kitchen Christmas theme.

Include a favorite Christmas cookie recipe,

and anything else we wished, 

perhaps something sweet!

I was partnered with 

Trisha at American Honey Home .

Today I'm excited to share with you

what I received from Trisha.

Take a look...

First, Trisha had written a Christmas

message inside this cute little

card with a baking theme.

Look at that adorable little apron

complete with utensils in the pocket.

and cookies on a baking sheet beside.

Trisha chose to decorate two mini kitchen utensils

a grater and a wire whisk...

I like how she wrapped the whisk handle.

The Santa at the top has a cord for hanging.

And look at that sweet little gingerbread man

on the grater.

Next she included a decorated bingo card.

I love the turquoise and red color combination.

Stamped with an Eiffel Tower, Joyeux Noel

a little wreath around the "O"

and beautiful red felt roses in the corner.

The recipe she sent is for  Sugar Butter Cookies.

Don't they sound delicious!  

Can't wait to try them.

Then she tucked in some

fun extra goodies...

like Christmas straws

and bakers twine...so popular right now.

Some yummy peppermint chocolate

and red reindeer Christmas socks!

She must know I'm a cupcake baker

or had seen one of my cupcake posts

because she sent these 

gorgeous Mary Engelbreit cupcake liners.

Thank you Trisha for

all the great gifts!!

It was fun being your Swap Partner.

And Thank you Erica for the Party.

A Very Merry Christmas

to both of you and your families!!!

Christmas Hugs,
