Here is what I sent for my cozy swap box:Fall items:
* Mulled Cider candle made by my talented friend, Megan (yes, I've been hoarding one!)
* Felt Turkey hanging
* Fall ribbons
* Mini pumpkins for decorating or filling a jar
* A glittered pumpkin
Christmas items:
* Snowman flannel pillow
* Peppermint sticks for stirring hot chocolate (ingredients included)
* Postcard wallets
* Christmas Tree
* Susan Branch book, Christmas Joy
* Star ornament
* Red silicone muffin cups - I thought these would be great for holding little goodies at each place, making place cards out of or even making individual festive desserts in! (PS: I got them free!)
And, here is what my swap partner, Trina sent me!
The box is a gift itself - look how cute!
Inside, everything contributed to the cozy theme and I must say - I haven't been able to split anything up yet - because I love the cozy feeling of looking at it all in one place!
She graciously included some hot cocoa and peppermint stirrers, a cute star ornament, yummy smelling votives in a neat box, "cozy spa" supplies...
These oh-so-homespun ornaments with such a cute tag!
And, this great journal! She added creative touches throughout the journal including a great quote at the end:"Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, and the things you never want to lose." ~ The Wonder Years

How special! I love what you sent AND what you received! Can't wait to get my box...
Such cute ideas! I think a box like these would make a wonderful Christmas gift for someone, so many special things.

The items in these swaps are just absolutely beautiful. I hope I can make it to the next one. I was so sad to miss this one.
I love the birthday ideas for your daughter. It was just beautiful. I am sure she enjoyed her day.
I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I posted a little contest on my blog. Stop by when you have a few minutes and check it out.
Thanks,
