Wednesday Advent Roundup

Instead of posting every day about what Miriam has gifted me in the advent swap I thought I'd do a post every Wednesday instead ......

Day #2
Retro cup-o-tea?

I LOVE Orange and I LOVE Retro and this is just the best Tea-towel ever!!!!! It is going to look fabulous when I get my kitchen renovated!!, I actually think it's going to be too good to use .. it might end up on the wall yet!

Day #3
Ball of Joy all zipped up.

Jaffas!!!!!! mmmmmmmm YUMMY!!!
And an adorable little zip up pouch. It will definitely come in handy for my toiletries when I go camping! LOVE!!

Day #4
A bit of orange-advent-family time.

A GORGEOUS book called 'A Celebration of Christmas'. It is filled with Christmas songs, poems, carols, stories, prayers, recipes, jokes and activities! I am so in love with it. The illustrations are beautiful.

Along with the book were the ingredients to make a Christingle. I am going to get some oranges this week to make some with the kids, I just love the idea of the Christingle.

Thanks so much Miriam, all of us as a family are so enjoying opening these presents every morning and they are most definitely making me start my day with a smile!

Wonderful goodies and just love the orange theme. I wish you were here to see the excitement this swap has bought to our house. In particular Tom, who is beside himself with the Advent Tree. It is the last thing he talks about before he goes to sleep and I wake each morning with him standing by the bed asking "Mum can I have my chocolate now please?. It is then his job to look through my pressies for the right number. My gifts from you have been amazing. Just loving all the handmade goodness. Thank you so much Tracy xoxo

I am so glad I am making you and your children smile everyday! And I am glad you are enjoying your gifts!
It’s always a little nerve wracking thinking about whether or not someone likes what you gifted them!!
The Advent is such an exciting thing in my house in the mornings too!! My son Riley has been the person in charge of
finding the right number for my present and then they open their tree draw. Such a magical and exciting time of the year!

Tracy - thanks so much for your generous response to the things I have picked and found for you. It makes me so happy to think of you enjoying them together and I hope that the smile each day translates into that wonderful feeling of being noticed and important and blessed just for being you xxxx

These are all awesome - I really love seeing what everyone has given to their person, especially when so much thought has gone into everything. Love it!
