Christmas Day - Secret Pal Parcel

Christmas Day arrived and here is my first SP13 parcel. I thought I'd show off the label with Santa and his sleigh and the garland of Poinsettias.


Opening up revealed:


Huge bundles of green :)

One of the first packages and a chocolate Father Christmas.

More goodies and parcels.


And some more.


The first package opened revealed this soap: rosemary, pine and may chang. I didn't use it in my annual Xmas bath as I'd already had it by this stage so it will be my New Year's Day treat :)

My second revealed these two bundles of yumminess. The mint fondants on the left and the right being milk chocolate with cinnamon and white praline.

My third was this large button and a bag which revealed:


Some of the packages were decorated with these:



I quickly took the ceramics off of the packages and on to the tree. I have to say that they are wonderful and would love to know where they have come from. Here are some closer up shots including one of a Christmas pudding (which I forgot to photo on its package)

My SP also included a card and it came in this delightfully decorated envelope:

The card:


Both of my rats are boys and I can just imagine them doing this as well as they are so mischevious so I wonder if my SP has a camera on them ;-)

Last not but least the yummy goodness:

My SP has said they'd work well for a lace project. (Well I have no doubt they would but a certain young gentleman decided to have a rummage just after this picture was taken and I now need to play with a yarn winder to make them look decent again before I can use them.




Thanks again SP. It's a wonderful parcel and I promise that the munchy yummies will last at least until Boxing Day ;-)
