12 Days of Christmas Swap, Day 8

Wow, I can't believe we are 3/4 of the way through this lovely swap already. Where has the time gone?

Today's package came from Marilyn Morrison. It was wrapped in a festive Christmas wrap that conjured up childhood memories and gifts.

Inside was a hand drawn beauty with eight bottles of milk signifying 8 Maids a' Milking. To my knowledge, Marilyn doesn't have a blog, but if I learn differently, I'll add a link. This is Marilyn's first swap with me, and I think she did an awesome job.

I'll be back later with a Silent Sunday that is reminiscent of some of the things I did in 2010. It's amazing to see how some photos are so much clearer and better than others. I know I need a better camera, so I'm putting that on my Christmas list for 2011!

3 thoughtful remarks:

Darla said...: Clever representation for "12 maids a milking". What is going to happen to this whole collection? Does it become a book or in some other way get organized together?

Dianne said...: a great way to extend the Christmas gift opening...such fun swap pages too...yes, will these swap pages become a book? I have a bad habit of taking a long time to get swaps actually assembled into the final product after they've arrived. would be interested to see what you come up with. have fun!; 8:55 AM, January 02, 2011
