Handmade Gift Exchange!! Part 2

My gift arrived and I am so happy! My gift exchange partner and I had few bumps with the address swap not sure why, it all looks right to me, but let me tell you, my gift was TOTALLY worth the wait!

Now, she says this is her first time making a wreath, which I just cant believe because I just think its the cutest thing EVER! It has totally made my week with all the crappiness going on with my father in law.

She even sent this sweet little note with it!

I cannot wait until the next handmade gift exchange, I will definitely be signing up it was so much fun!!

Thanks Marianne  thanks Linda for hosting the exchange!!
