Post pics of your treasures here so we can ooh and aahh while you reveal and thank your sender.
YAY! I was so worried that between Canada Post and the Royal Mail it wouldn't make it there on time. I was acting as both of your secret santas and I hope you get to enjoy the things I've sent.I confess, I opened mine a little early (so I didn't have to either take it to my mum's only to bring it back or, worse, WAIT)
In no particular order:
-Two Christmas flannels
-Cupcake kit with cases and toppers
-A home made Christmas tea blend which smells DIVINE
-A tea flower
-Some green tea
-Two little trinket boxes, one containing what I assume is bath salts (is it?), and the other containing some incredible jewellery (which is full of aniseed sweets in the picture)
-Two hand-made recipe books. One is for me to write my recipes in, and the other is full of Renee's own recipes which I can't wait to try!
-Hand-made Christmas cards and gift tags
-Candy canes
-A kit to make my own Christmas glitter snoopy decorations
-A jar of... Something. I haven't worked that one out yet... It has a spoon, so I'm tempted to eat it...
(Ignore the Rasmus DVD in the picture, it was just on the table when boyfriend took the pictures )
But, whatever's in that jar, I LOVE everything! Especially the purple necklace Thank you so so much, Renee!

Yes, they are bath salts. I made them.
The little jar is maple butter. It's realllllly sweet, but really lovely.
GingerFoxx and I were given to eachother. I didn't realize it until I got the package from her, but she knew before she sent mine out because she'd already gotten the package I sent her. She knit me a lovely variegated scarf in the colors blue, yellow, and purple. I love the pattern! It looks like a flower every couple of stitches. If only my picture-taking abilities were working right now! I'd share with everyone. I've only been crocheting for less than a year, so I haven't experimented with a lot of different stitches yet. I've been testing out what I can do with a couple of basic stitches.

You MADE them?! That's so cool
What do you usually do with the maple butter? And, regarding the Christmas tea, do I just treat it like regular loose leaf tea?
Also, thanks again! I love everything!
I received the curry one in the last exchange. It's so much fun to find new ways to use it. My bf and I added some to a thai curry pizza we made once. So yummy!2 large containers of some of the best spices ever Chili and Curry! - I've been using them with every meal so far.
They are delicious! It's so cool to get to try things that aren't available here, but, yes, it does make me wish we had those things in the states!Yally sent me some of those bear naked fruit gummy thingies last year. They were SO GOOD. Why can't we get good things like that in the states?
