Last Gifts From Group 2

 Hi Fellow Craft Swappers
 Wow Christmas Day has come and gone and if you are like Allan and I you will be having a very quiet day today. Nelson is living up to it's name and we are having some very, very warm days and nights.

I need to say a very BIG sorry to Jamie, Rachel, Lisa and Alison for not posting their gifts on the appropriate days but with an unexpected trip to Christchurch for a funeral and a couple of other hiccups I just couldn't get to the camera and computer.

Jamies gift was on Day 9 and a beautiful decoration in the prettiest green, mauve and bright pink felt. A little silver heart ties the green scarf on. Just lovely and a big thankyou Jamie.

Day 10 was an incredible looking santa made from  a tube. He was red and had big black boots. Inside were three cute little bee faces, two with bows and one with a santa hat!!!!! They are attached to metal sticks and already have a place in the big tub where our lime tree grows. Thankyou so much Rachel they really are very cute and you are very clever.

Lisa made our gift for Day 10 and it is a canvas panel which she has framed with a lovely blue paper. The top can be opened at the back and has velcro dot fasteners. There are also two pegs attached to the back so it can be hung. Such clever ideas!!  On the front is a blank outline of a ladies body and on the opposite side Lisa has drawn on clothes and hair. Very "cool".
Thanks Lisa for your gift.

Our last gift for this year was from Alison and another "wow".
Alison wows us every year with her amazing talents.
This face mask sitting on a wee stand must have taken the patience of a saint.
It is tiny with teeny weeny beads for detail.
The red feathers have shaped pieces of paper
attached and these have small red bead on the ends.
The mask is tied on with a small black ribbon.
A real wow Alison and thankyou very much for your great gift.


Well that's it for another year and again thankyou to all of you for my amazing gifts. It is always very humbling to get gifts from people that I haven't met and that have spent precious moments making them.
 I hope that the new year will be a very happy and safe one for you all.  Luv from Julie  xoxo
