Having entered into a wonderful Stitching Santa Gift swap this year, hosted by the Lovely Sheila from Sewchet, I had great fun and excitement compiling my little pressie to my recipient!! But, vastly underestimated the anxiousness and intrigue….I..would have to undergo waiting to open my own gift parcel!!! ~ which arrived almost two weeks ahead of the big day !!!!!!!!!!! The question is……….??????…..can I contain myself any longer?? I keep picking it up, then putting it down….Only five more days to unwrapping!
OK!! My solution to not opening before the Christmas Day deadline….I’m putting myself in a cupboard right now!!…LOL which means…someone else will have to deal with the festive dinner preparations…what a win win deal ~ me thinks!
Caren's Creative Canvas & Craft 
I like your thinking! Both mine are right at the front of the tree and the sense of anticipation heightens every time I look at them! Still too bust making gifts to think about opening any though:)
*busy
LOL I’m sure you’ll get a rest at some point 😉 Have a lovely Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year xx
How exciting ~ the magic of Christmas is alive and kicking at yours whoopee 🙂 I gather you have done the customary shake & feel of your pressie ? does it crackle ? is it squishy ? give it here I’ll unwrap it put MY mind at rest and then re wrap it for you, what ever some super creative person has crafted for you it’s bound to live up to all your expectations and more ❤
You are still able to read our comments safely contained in your cupboard I take it ??
Not too much longer to wait ~ and think yourself lucky to have a reprieve on the luncheon preparations ….our lot are still having deep meaningful conversations on what meat they want First Born insists we don't call it 'Turkey Day' for nothing while Beloved wants beef …and Gelfling ??? can he have either a cheese sandwich or goats cheese tart, 2nd Born wants gammon …can you budge over & let me in your cupboard …PLEASE
Oh Have I LOL 😉 still no ideas though??
What a wonderful idea to have a cheese butty for Christmas Dinner…I’m with Gelfling on that one!! 😉 maybe a couple of sprouts with some garlic dip…a veritable feast!!! Well that’s next year’s menu sorted at ours ;-D Maybe you could just put all their requests in a hat…then say the cheese butty won LOL Enjoy A Wonderful Day!!
I send a lot of power and good thoughts that you can wait till 25th… I never can wait, I’m no trooper on that front :o)
LOL I’m not used to having prezzies…it’ll be hard…but I will wait…your strong willpower thoughts definitely helping 😉
LOL! 😀 I feel your pain.
…It’s been such a long time since I received a parcel gift…I had completely forgotten the element of excitement involved!!! Still it remains unopened as we draw even closer….LOL 😉
You have a lot of willpower. 😀 Anticipation is half the fun, isn’t it?
You’re not wrong there Sarah!! I’m sure all the ladies involved (could be males too, I have no idea, but I shouldn’t jump to conclusions) will be feeling much the same, wonder if they are all thinking, like myself, if their own gift will make their recipient happy too?? Only three more sleeps 😉
I bet they’re all excited. They’ll all be people who appreciate hand-crafted items. Yay!
Oh i would have had to open it!!
I can’t deny I was sorely tempted 😉
