I participated in the Secret Ornament Swap with Its a Wonderful Life and I received my package already! I was so excited to come home to not one, but two boxes sitting on my front porch! YAY! Then when I went to take pictures... no batteries! ACK!
So after making it to the store to get some batteries then I was able to unpack the boxes! I wouldn't open the boxes until I could take pictures - do you know how hard it was to leave the boxes unopened next to the couch? It was haaaarrrrdddd I tell you!
Here is what I got:
All in all I got a total of 9 ornaments, a cranberry candle, a very cute card and a wonderful wreath for my door!
Here is a close up of the ornaments:
**I got alllllllllll this wonderful stuff from Lovemy2dogs! Thanks girl!!
We usually put up our Christmas decorations on or around Thanksgiving so these will be proudly displayed next week! I will take more pictures after I get them hung up and post here again!

How exciting!!! You got a lot of stuff!! Girl I would have torn into it before I got into the house!! lol Glad you participated and you are happy with your swap. I have followed Tammy's blog for a while and she is great!
I am glad that you like it all. I don't have a lot of time for shopping and really couldn't find that "Perfect" ornament, sorry. I hope you enjoy every bit of it.
Wow, my budget required that I stay closer to the $20 guideline..now I feel cheap! I hope my recipient doesn't feel cheated!
What beautiful goodies!
I just mailed my ornaments out today. You can see what I bundled up by visiting:

I had a blast putting it together! I found a great, heavy-duty, wooden box painted with angels that I purchased to put all ornaments in, too! I couldn't help myself! :) I can't wait until my Secret Blogger Pal gets it!!! What a fun thing! I'm so glad I stumbled across Valerie's blog in the nick of time to join this exchange!
And, it looks like you got a fun load of stuff, too! Merry Christmas to you!!!
Great stuff and fun to arrive home to packages....
