I stumbled upon Clemsongirl and the Coach blog a few weeks back and she happened to have a post up that day about a "Preppy Christmas Decorations Swap". How could I refuse, being a preppy at heart? Well I did not refuse, and signed my preppy ass up. Of course I had to make everything pink and green, but with a holiday twist. The pattern I created reminded me of a candy cane and I think the entire package had a nice holiday feel to it.
Since Davis and I spend the afternoons together, she helped me put together my package. We settled on a few things for Rachel Ann, my swap partner, who happens to live right here in MA. Naturally, we made a little package for Davis too :) {she is four, and everything that is yours, is also hers}
– Crochet snowflake + angel ornaments. Davis just LOVED these. Perfect decorations for Rachel Ann's tree or a packages. We "prepped" them up by adding pink + green ribbons to them. {We also bought a set for us}
– Two rolls of Custom Silkscreened Ribbon. "Happy Holidays from Rachel Ann" ribbon can decorate her packages this year. Davis picked out the ribbon at the craft store. She wanted pink ribbon, but I convinced her that green might be more festive for the holiday.
– Wine + Gift Tags: A few sets of both in pink and green should come in handy for her holiday packages.
– Mini Taylor Book: I made her a preppy green + pink book to keep track of her holiday list this year... but hopefully she'll be able to use it all year round.
– Homemade truffles + holiday MMs. You can guess who thought we should send these :) Good thing I was able to package some up before she got her hands on them. The homemade truffles came out so yummy. I'll post the recipe later this week. So easy. So good.
Overall, a really fun swap to do and a great way to get into the holiday spirit~ Thank you Clemsongirl!
