It turned out better than I could imagine! We each made four stockings, 1 for each swapper, and then include 1 recipe, 5 gift tags, one ornament.I also tried to get everyone to keep it envelope friendly and under $3.00 shipping. Most of us followed the rules, sorta, kinda, okay, barely LOL
So now a lovely pictorial of the swap.
For another viewpoint of the story, see fellow swapper Karen's blog. It's pretty awesome.
The sockawackas I made for the swap
The first to arrive was Amy's. Can you tell I am a trek fan? LOL Fab or what?
The next to arrive was Karen's. I got two, count' em, TWO half eaten gingerbreads and one is a Spockookie!! He goes fan-tas-tically with the Trek Stocking. Seriously!!!
Oh, Spockookie with Sockookie
Next was Carolyn's. Look at those prairie points!! Very nice!
Lats, but not least, my friend Mark's. See the Spockmonkey ornament???
Dingleballs and Star Trek, what could be better?
Group shot of my goodies! My dressform never looked so good. LOL
