Faith, hope and Charity swap!

Another post that failed to do as it was told!  Here it is a little late!
Hello there!  Taking part in Lakota's Christmas, Faith, Hope and Charity Swap, I was the lucky recipient of wonderful packages from the delightful Millicent of New World!

I was so overwhelmed with how carefully she's obviously looked at my posts and blog which is reflected so kindly and perfectly in the aptness of all her gifts! 

Firstly, a lovely vibrant card for her and a lovely Snow flake card from Master T her son, to say thank you for his book I sent him!

 A WONDEFUL pack of blank cards for card making!  I was just thinking I needed some new ones as my supply of plain cream ones is running pretty low!

 MMmMmmmmmmmmm chocolate.  Need I say more?!!!

 A lovely bright angel/fairy for a Christmas tree (which I lack but which will hang on a door!!)

 A wonderful K for Kezzie which I look forward to finding a place for!  Very suitable considering my proximity to London!  I presume this is the handmade element but I wasn't sure since it is so well made! (you can tell what is handmade of mine!)

 A Doctor Who guide!  Love it !!!!  Great since I am so behind with the Matt Smith era!!!

 A  hat a hat a hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was so excited when I opened this parcel!!!!!  It's so fun- nothing like any hat I have!  It's a wonderful speckled pink colour with a cute ribbon around the brim!  It doesn't show how cute it is off, so I of course have to model it for you (Let them eat hats 30!)

 And my joint favourite, this wonderful note book which has a lovely textured cover and a protective elastic.  I always have to have a notepad with me to make notes, to write down poems, write down sudden inspiration for song writing, music writing, card ideas, and thoughts and prayers as I ponder!  I absolutely love this!

 And finally this lovely Charlotte Bronte bookmark.  She didn't know this but I was in Bronte house at school so I feel a real affection for the Bronte sisters (I read some of their books as a 12 year old purely for this reason!) Also, I really love this quote because I really feel it reflects my outlook on life.  I've always had a go at doing lots of things, always having a hectic life full of many activities,  and people have berated me through life saying that I could end up as a 'Jack of all trades and master of none' or worried that I am going to burn out but it reflects my zeal for life!

 Thank you sooo much for my wonderful gifts.  I feel in comparison that my presents, though I spent a long time thinking about them, really don't do justice to how thoughtful and clever she has been in buying me presents!   Thanks also to Lakota for organising this swap!  I enjoyed it! I also like the fact that you feel like you've made a new friend through a swap!

Here's what I got her which seemed pathetic by comparisson!
