Secret Santa Swap

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

 

I love this time of year so much

and although I absolutely LOVE giving gifts,

 I don't mind receiving them either!

 

Today I am linking up with some lovely ladies to share

my wonderful gifts I received from our Xmas blog swap.

 

 

First of all I would like to thank my Secret Santa, Stephanie,

for taking the time to pick out such thoughtful gifts.

I loved the card she sent me -

 it has a picture of Canada's Parliament in winter on the front and

 inside she mentioned that she drives by this every day - what a beautiful view!

 

 

 

What I loved about this gift is that most of the items were handmade by local Ottawa artisans.

 

What lady doesn't need a new bag to tote around?!

 This one is the perfect size for anything from some lipgloss & a cellphone

to some change and a pack of gum!

 The design is so cute too!

 

 

 

Next I opened this candle...

If anyone knows me then they know that I ALWAYS

have candles burning at home.

 I love the ambiance that candles create and the neutral color matches my home perfectly!

 

 

 

 

I am pretty sure that every single outfit I own has some form of black in it.

So this scarf was a perfect choice for me!

 

 

 

 

Stephanie also sent me a cute little pair of button earrings:

 

 

 

Can you believe there is still more?!

 

She also sent me this adorable Santa ornament !

 

 

 

 

Thank you again for all the beautiful gifts,

 

Merry Christmas !
