Wrapping the presents I made for my handmade holiday gift exchange partner Nicole was just as much fun as making them. I sewed two white felt bags to hold the goodies, which I did tie with string, and made a gift tag with some odds and ends found in the great big bin marked "X-MAS" that inconveniently sits in the middle of my craft room.
Inside the bags are a necklace, earrings, and a crystal ornament. I did not have red in mind when I set out to make the necklace, but as so often happens, the piece made itself. All I did was find the right order for the beads. I took Nicole's gifts outside to make some pictures. I love the vibrant red on the grapevine wreath in the snow.

I hope Nicole likes her gifts. And I cannot wait to see what she made for me!

Yes yes yes! I do like my gift! Now I just hope you like yours. :) Well, if I can FINALLY make it to the post office tomorrow! I haven't even sent out Christmas cards, since I don't have stamps! :(
