I've been back and forth in my head about when to start opening my goodies in the HUGE box Colleen sent me. Should I start Sunday or Monday? Sunday? Monday?
The box that I set under the tree a few days ago has been calling out to me like Marley's ghost.
"Ooooooooooppppeeeennnn meeeeeeeee!! OOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEENNNNNNN MEEEEEEEE!"
How could I resist that? Sunday it is.
On the first day of Christmas my swap partner gave to me:
A blanket!
Which is a perfect by the way. Every few Christmases I seem to remember to get the kids new blankets and totally forget about my own chilly shoulders and lap. I watch my children all cuddly and warm under their soft fuzzy blankets and grow a little Grinch-green with envy. Problem solved! Thank you Colleen!
I loved the way she "labeled" the gift with a recipe card! Colleen is a Christmas baking fiend and it was a fun little personal touch. See how she wrote "Serves 1"? Take that kiddos! It's official! This blanket is all Mommy's!
So glad you liked the blanket - I can't wait to see what you think of what is coming next!
ReplyDeleteI have been resisting the urge all day, but I may have lost my reserve now!
ReplyDeleteLast year some friends did the 12 days of Christmas to us and it was so fun. We're planning to do 2 of our little widow neighbors this year and I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteLove that little not that goes with it! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for my partner to get her package before I open mine. :)
The blanket is so cute! I love a good blanket to snuggle with on the couch with my laptop!
