Secret Santa Part One
I took part in the Faith Hope and Charity Shopping swap organised by the brilliant Lakota . I was partnered with lovely Sophie of The Story of a Girl Who Lives Above Her Means. It was nice to buy for someone whose blog I already read! For this swap there were specific rules: Minimum of 3 items and maximum of 5, minimum spent of £12, one handmade item, one charity shop item and one Christmas decoration. You can see what I got for Sophie here.
Cupcake cases.
Secret Santa Part Two
This was organised by Rani of Cupcake Couture and truly was a SECRET santa. We knew who we were buying for but not who was buying for us. I bought for Sophie from Cider with Sophie- what a fab blog name! You can see what I got her here.
I received a gift from Tasha of Dibs! . It came wrapped in cute little striped paper bags and here they are:
She also threw in some chocolate coins but I'm afraid I've scoffed all those!
Surprise from Sophie
Another Sophie! Parents in the 80's and early 90's obviously loved this name-like Laura, Sarah and Rachel!
Sweet Sophie from Country Girl Does Norfolk sent me a totally unexpected gift which I thought was so kind of her. She is one of my pen pals which is how she has my address! If anyone else is looking for a pen pal, email me, tweet me (@SpentMyWages) or something!
Here's what she got me:
Lipbalm (yay)
Shiny nail varnish

That red scarf is really lovely. I just love wearing red scarves at this time of year. I don't know why -- maybe because it feels festive? I just like red.
