Christmas Cracker Swap 2015

This year I joined in with the Christmas Cracker swap again (although I was too late for 2014's one!!) via Tracey at http://madaboutbagsuk.blogspot.co.uk and as per usual, I am quite late at posting the lovely gifts I received in my cracker  from my swap partner Maria at http://dottysdaughter.blogspot.co.uk/  

I must admit that I have had really bad trouble trying to get my pictures to up load, so I had to wait for my sons to come home to sort it out for me!    For some unknown reason my internet security seems to have taken over and wont let me do a lot of things, so now it has been sorted, and better late than never.........here are the photos I have taken as I opened up my lovely gift.....

A lovely extra gift  outside of the cracker...

 A cute wooden gingerbread man....

The cracker was wrapped in lovey christmasy fabric....

And around the tube was a recipe for Mince Pies (yummy!)
 

And a double surprise was the candy canes and miniature crackers stuck to the outside and they actually had a snapper and jokes inside!!

Some tiny decorated pegs..

And inside there were so many things!!!  Flavored teabags,pen, pencil, owl rubber, large decorated pegs...... I am surprised that you could fit this all in Maria!!

A lovely silver heart bracelet with crystals ...

A blue and white lighthouse, nail file, buttons, chocolate, tape, glass marbles......I could go on but I will let you enjoy the pictures....

Snowman confetti...

 And this lovely handmade hanging decoration......beautiful....

Thank you Maria for being a fab swap partner, I really appreciate the lovely gifts, and thank you for being patient as I was a bit slow to post this on my blog!!  (stupid computer and all that!!)
