So as soon as Cat posted up about the swap I was in!
I was so excited when I received the name and details of the wonderful lady I was going to be gifting. She was someone completely new to me so that was pretty exciting too! I stalked her blog and put together 25 gifts for her and a combined gift for her 3 gorgeous children.
I posted her box off to her this morning.
I hope she likes her packages! I am feeling rather nervous about it!!
This morning the courier dropped off a BIG box of packages for me. I was sooo excited!!! Since we were on our way out the door for the school run I had to wait until I got home before I could open it!!
Inside were 25 gifts for me and one each or Riley & Abbey to open on Christmas day. They are going to be so excited when they get home to see they were included too!
There was a note in the box that said ...
Dear TracyAnd then there was an Advent Theme Sheet with a theme for each present. I will share these with you as I share the opening of the presents.
Welcome to your "Very Orange Advent". My goal in putting this together has been about making you smile everyday coming up to Christmas. I imagine this season must be bittersweet as you miss the presence of your 4th family member. I hope each day as you open a gift you will make the orange connection & you will feel loved and thought of. Wishing you a love-filled, peaceful advent season & a beautiful, wonder-filled Christmas
God Bless

Ooo I'm excited to see what you get :-)
Tracy! :o) So glad it arrived. I hope it is a fun time for you and a few laughs along the way. I was very excited to be given you as my partner and I hope I have done justice to you xxxx
also sorry about the random string of beads they shouldn't have been in there! They must have fallen in while I was packing. Feel free to keep them if you like them :o)
Hi Tracy, thank you for revealing that you are my Secret Santa, I swear the suspense would have killed me! The advent calendar is just so beautiful, my 3 have never had one so this will be so exciting for them. I feel like a kid again opening your parcel today and seeing all of the wrapped goodies. You are new to me too, so I'm really looking forward to getting to know you. Thank you so much Elaina xo
love this idea
