I received my most lovely Secret Santa Parcel with yesterday´s mail and opened it as soon as I could, thank you so very much, dearest Strike - I put the beads on a bangle as soon as I came home and have worn them yesterday and today ever since Smile (I especially chose an outfit that fit the beautiful blue bead)

Here is my most wonderful parcel, or rather its contents

strike - My beautiful Secret Santa Parcel from Strike - Update on last page :) Santag10

As you might see two gifts are there by proxy: A really cute bathing-bubbles deer and a wrapped parcel with hand creme, these I will pick up at my Mum´s in spring when I visit her, one of those was the culprit („forbitten/dangerous“), and most probably it was the hand creme (a liquid), but maybe also the bubble bath, and since we did not wish to take a risk, my Mum took those two out and send a photo in their stead.
I am really looking forward to drinking the hot cacao with marshmallows (no, I did not do it yesterday as planned but decided to keep it for the weekend and a day on the couch just relaxing Smile ), the chocolate we will eat as desert on christmas. The towels have already reported for duty in our kitchen and the lovely Noel sign I put on the window next to me and even in the dark it sparkles gently Smile

And then there are also two most wonderful beads, and I really love them! The dark blue one is one that I saw a cousin of just the other day that really spoke to me, but alas, my bead budget was already spent, so I did not buy it, and now I am doubly happy Smile I am sure this one is truly meant for me (and I am still wearing a dark blue sweater to prove it Wink - But there is one bead that is even more special: Strike made it herself, especially for me, and every single of the tiny beautiful pieces of it has a story that she told me in my card. I am super awed by your talent, dear Strike! And I absolutely love the thoughtfulness and work that went into this lovely bead that I will forever treasure!
I took a few photos to show all the different little symbols it has (a christmas tree, stockings, a star, candy cane, bell, chrismas tree bauble, a heart and a wrapped gift)  rendeer

I am so glad that you like your gift Trollperle Smile It was very fun to make the bead for you and that glass called out to me as soon as I saw it!

Merry Christmas Smile

I went to visit my family and my mum broutht the super cute bath bubbles and hand cream with her that we needed to take out of the package last winter due to mail restrictions - thank you so very much, dearest Strike, I absolutely love my swap - and especially the made-for-me silver which I wore well into spring and I am still playing with it to put on a year-round bracelet - I do have a few ideas and today there will be a bit of bead play later (have still to de-clutter and Gyalmo needs her spring bath Smile )
