Secret Santa Swap Gifts Revealed - Part One.

Something we have all been waiting for, the grand reveal of all the wonderful gifts received from their Secret (and not probably not so secret) Santa.  Some gifts are still to be received, but everyone has sent their parcels so I am just hoping they have been delayed in the Christmas post and not gone AWOL.  

Everyone has done remarkably well and it is quite obvious a lot of thought and care has been put into the assembly of the gifts and I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we are all thrilled with our gifts and thank our Secret Santa's very much for the kindness and generosity.

First up we have the gifts received by Anna  from Margaret.  Anna is fairly new to the world of Sasha and has her own lovely blog which can be  found here.  This is what she wrote to me about the swap

Thank you Lorraine for organising the swap - it was the first time I've participated in such a thing online, and I really enjoyed making items to send (and I'm glad they went down well) and receiving a surprise for my dolls from someone else. Most of us don't expect to ever meet the people on this forum because we're all around the world, so taking part in the swap was a good way of getting to know people in the Sasha world a little better.

It is the first time I have organised a swap on this scale and actually the only the second time I have organised a swap, a I think it has worked out quite well.  I boldly volunteered on the Sasha-Mart Yahoo group little realising quite what work was involved, but it has been worth it, and has certainly kept me busy.

Anyway on to the photos.

Gregor (Nicholas James) wearing a great NOEL jumper and jeans.

Sasha (Florence) wearing a very pretty dress

Wonderful hat, jumper and pants for Gregor, & Christmas heart that Anna sent to Ginger.

I hope you have all enjoyed the swap as much as I have enjoyed organising it.  

I think it is a wonderful way in which to share our hobby and love of these beautiful dolls and to share a little kindness, love and generosity. 

Thank you to everyone who took part and made this so swap so much fun.

Please I'd love to hear your comments, don't be afraid of leaving any :-)
