A Surprise Package



Well, for a few weeks there I was busy making gifts for some of my APQ blog friends in the US and Canada with whom I had participated in various swaps.

They were great fun indeed, so I decided to surprise them with a small gift of either a table mat or wallhanging.

Each was *wrapped* in a paper bag with a rustic bow and included a calendar, a Christmas card and some chocolates.

Here's what I made...

A wallhanging for Kelli...



A table mat for Merritt...

A wallhanging for BCQuilter...


and a table mat for StitchNiche...


The parcels have all arrived safely and I'm delighted to say were a surprise to all.

I love being *Santa's Helper*

Ann.

  4. Thrilled, hardly covers the feeling. The parcel through me off, as the first initial was an "F"... I don't know anyone that has a name that starts with an "F" in Australia.

    Everyone in the family loves "Santa", with his knickers!

    Ann, thanks a bunch!

  5. Yes Fer, I sure did send Cadbury's - Caramello Koalas! Alice, I sent you an email to explain the *F* - it's an ID thing for the post office. I use my middle name rather than my first name.

    Ann :)
