Homemade Holidays Swap
There is something special about getting something made just for you. No matter your talent - baking, knitting, drawing, music - let's share. Rules here: http://friendfeed.com/homemad...
Okay, for real this time. Haha. Thank you, Helen! It's perfect and so sweet. Your letter was super sweet too. *hugs*

Oh, that's beautiful!
- Anne Bouey
So pretty!
- Janet:#TeamMonique
Love it!
- Fish Are LIES
Isn't it gorgeous? <3
- Tamara J.
Yay! Yep that's it. So glad you like it. It's one of my favourite designs. I Christmas-i-fied it a little bit for the occasion but hopefully not so much that it can't be an all-yr-round thing :-)
- Heleninstitches
Oh, it's perfect. It's on the shelf in my bookcase. It will definitely live there all year long. <3

At long last, and certainly worth the wait, I received my lovely homemade holidays secret santa gift. Thank you, Helen! I love it. It's also the first thing I have ever had that was cross stitched. :-)

Erm, that's not from me ;-/ Mine's in a frame.... and not Santa...
- Heleninstitches
That also looks like general embroidery (chain, running, etc.) and not cross-stitch. Very cute and pretty! :D
- Hookuh Tinypants
I wish I had sent it tho. I put letter in too, so you'll definitely know mine is from me. I wonder who did your embroidery tho... it's lovely!
- Heleninstitches
lol. Hrmmm. I have no idea who sent it. There was no note. Also, see how much I didn't know about stitching and embroidery? Oops.
- Tamara J.
Mine will be cross-stitch, I promise. Hopefully it should get there in the next couple of days. Was there no postmark on this one?
- Heleninstitches
Yay! My embroidery finally made it there! :)
- Eivind
No postmark and no note, Helen.

Well now I feel compelled to stitch you something as well. Let's start a "Send Tam and Adam a plethora of wall embroidery!" campaign! :D <3 FF rocks.

Usually takes between a week and 10 days :-)

Ok, Tamara - I'm your secret Santa! I sent my homemade present ages ago but it was just returned to me :-( It looks like it got to America, but for some reason they couldn't deliver it to you. Can you DM me your address so I can check I've got it right and try posting it again. Sorry. I didn't forget.
Stephen Mack #TeamMomo, Tamara J. and chaz2b liked this
Aargh! Just checked on Elfster and the address is different from the one I got off there at the beginning of the month. That's where I went wrong. Sorry, I should have checked before posting it. Just let me know that the current one on Elfster is correct and I'll post it again on Monday.
- Heleninstitches
PS - Tamara's not subscribed to me so I can't DM her. Can someone forward this to her to make sure she sees it. Ta ffolks.

LB sent me cookies! Thanks ELL BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! They are so good that I had to put most of them in the freezer to keep from eating them all right away. Also, I've already DM'd her but many thanks to Penguin for my Secret Santa gift.

I just wanted to say how much I've loved doing this swap again this year - I had such a great time thinking of what to do, and then putting it together. Just like last year, it really got me into the spirit of the holiday, and what I like about it the most: getting to give just the right thing, big or small :D
