I have finally managed to finish off my ornaments for the holiday swap. It feels like it has taken me forever, but I am glad they are done now and on their way to their new homes!
Each of them were packaged in a little bag to keep them safe during their journey!
I also signed up for the postcard swap - I don't think I will sign up for more than one swap at a time in the future, it was hard work trying to come up with an idea for the postcards. I just drew a blank and had no idea what to make! As you can see, I kept up with the tree theme........
They were posted off this morning too! Now for a cup of tea........

Love the postcards Sue! Is that Prints charming? T
I love the postcards too...that is my fav colour combination! Lovely!
they're sooo beautiful.
I've sent mine but am kind embarassed by them. I guess house moves and 'swaps' really don't go together.
I'll do better next time I promise!!
Thank-you! It is prints charming, went there months ago to have a peek and picked these up with Christmas in mind!
Oh my, those are both so beautiful. Love the little ribbon (?) trunks on the trees. And the green polka dot fabric, well, actually, I love every single thing about them.
i love the the colors in the postcards - they're gorgeous. The trunk on the tree is really great - wish i signed up for that one!
you must be Out Of Your Mind. everything is absolutely adorable.
they are all so lovely - I love the trees and their special little travelling pouches. And as for the red and aqua postcards. I just wish I was the lucky recipient.
Oh my goodness! I just received THREE absolutely fantabulous christmas postcards from you girl! OH MY! They are absolutely wonderful, thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so spoilt...they are just perfect, I am totally loving aqua and red, beautiful! =)

oh how nice!! LOVE the tree theme!!I also joined the postcard swap..and put one in the mail to you on Monday. I hope you like it :)
I got mine! And it was such a lovely surprise. Thank you thank you and thank you. They are sitting up in my kitchen.
I bought a piece of the prints charming material about a year ago and it is still sitting waiting for the right project to do soemthing with.
But I'm confused! I didn't send you anything in the swap. I had different names on my list. I am new to swapping so I'm not sure how it works.
Very glad that I got yours however.
thanks so much for all the nice comments.
i'm a little confused too....but i guess it will be a nice surprise when i receive my other postcards!
I absolutely love the postcards. Mine arrived in the mail today, so thank you very very much. I have to agree with the effort put into mine, as upon receiving yours I feel a bit bad about mine. I too sent to different people so I am not sure how the swap is worked out, but your postcards were so lovely to receive, and now I have a new blog to read too!
haha, I was confused too as I didn't have you on my list! I guess we are sending to different people than the ones who are sending to us? Actually it was very strange because I saw these on your blog and then the next day...they were in my letterbox! LOL

I love my tree! I got it in the mail today! yours went out in today's post! talk about leaving things until the last minute! I still have two Australian ones to finish! argggg I have it sitting with my others and it looks so sweet! check it out on my blog if you like.
Totally agree with one swap at a time. I loose track of what goes where. You have done a lovely job on both and love the same tree theme for both.
i love how you paid attention to detail - a little pouch for the ornaments ... lucky people who get these little gems!
thank you for the postcards, they made it to switzerland safely and are being admired very much! now i also have another blog to add to my bloglines list ;) it's all good.

Love your xmas decorations & postcards. I have a query - I'm in Sydney and can't seem to find anywhere that stocks lovely felt - any hints on where I should look?
Sara
you can find nice wool felt at patchwork stores (try material obsession or purple patch). I've also managed to find wool felt on ebay!
Soo, thanks so much for the hints on fabric stores - went to material obession and loved it! Thanks again!
Sara
Thanks so much for them - they are beautiful!
