What a fun time we've had sending and receiving our cozy shoeboxes!
Here is what I sent Amy: Chai, tealights, foot lotion, socks, stationery, waffle mix, a picture frame and a gift card for her favorite cozy drink--a pumpkin spice latte.
My mom received lots of lovely goodies from her swap partner, Deea. Her favorite item was a mulling spice mix that is part of Deea's family's traditional wassail recipe.
OK, swappers, now it's your turn to show off your cozy treats--just link below. Thanks for joining the fun!
My partner, Amy, put together a fabulous box of goodies for me: a pretty journal, fuzzy pink slippers, a snowman cookie cutter, a scrapbooking kit, homemade hot cocoa with marshmallows, and my favorite things--invitations with a Christmas light design and an eclectic CD from Starbucks.

Carrie! I loved seeing what you sent and what you received, all the goodies look so festive! And, mom's too! How fun!
I initially sent the wrong link so I hope you can delete that one. :( Anyway, I was so excited to receive my stuff from my swap partner, Jennifer. I received a Natalie Grant Christmas cd, a pumpkin decoration, ornaments that included a star, a mitten, Santa, and a wreath; an adorable angel, two candles, and acorn decorations. :)
This was such fun, I can't wait to do it again!
I was so blessed to participate in this swap. It was my first one ever and I loved getting to know Ruth most of all. I hope I get to do more in the future!
I sent Ruth:
White Chocolate body butter, a handpainted candleholder with a spiced pear candle, some of our homemade tea, a teaball, homemade mulling spice, our family's wassail recipe, cozy slippers, a bar of homemade goat's milk soap in Gingerbread scent, and chocolate rasperry hot cocoa.
Thanks so much for this wonderful opportunity. It made me feel like a kid again and truly was a blessed to give as to receive!
Hi ladies! Can't wait to come visit you all after work and see all the goodies.
Thanks for hosting the swap - it was lots of fun...I can't wait to sign up for your next one. :)
It is great to see all of the swap goodies. I had so much fun and can't wait for the next one!
Thank you for all the work you put into this!
This looks like a lot of fun! I found you through the link from Amy's blog (Mom Advice).
Jenny V and I will have to wait a little longer to post our link - I knew when I posted my stuff out on Nov 9th that it might go beyond the Mr Linky date for the swap - not surprising really as we're posting between Australia and Pennsylvania, LOL. So I'll pop back in here and sign in just as soon as we each receive our packages :)
Cheers,
Lizzie

Thank you for hosting:)
This was very fun and sort of "mysterious" trying to figure out what a "stranger" would like:)
Saralyn had my name and her package has arrived at my friend's house--I just don't have it yet:)
Thank you
Lizzie

This swap was so fun. I had fun putting together the cozy box for Jane, and learned some interesting things along the way about Australian Christmas. I was so excited when my box arrived, it was full of wonderful homemade items. I hope to be able to do this again.
A special thank you to Carrie and Monica for organizing this, and Kimberlee for sending me such wonderful goodies. Looking forwards to the next one! Hope everyone had a great time.
