CQing Christmas packages/crackers

I had such a wonderful time opening all my CQing packages on Christmas Eve.

Pictures truly on worth a thousand words... so here's a FEWpics :O)

SS PACKAGE

My SS packages came all the way from Portugal!

All this came in those packages.

I really love the varigated Christmas thread. and the strawberry that hides a shopping bag.

Thank you Maria!

A beaded butterfly motif!!! WOW

Thank you Kerry!

CRACKER #3

This cracker came from Ingrid.
The one that came with the extra large baggie of goodies to that wouldn't fit in the cracker and no wonder!

these were on the ends of the cracker and I plan to reuse them on  a cracker I make for next year.

The pins in the pincushion came in this cracker and they went immediately to my new pincushion.

Several gorgeous christmas print fabrics

Aren't these just the cutest!

This was made especially for me... I love it!

There was just soo much in the cracker!

 And can you believe with all this that Ingrid actually apologized for not making a CQed block for the outside of the cracker!

Ingrid I love it all and you've spoiled me absolutely rotten how could anyone be sorry there wasn't a CQed block covering all these goodies!

THANK YOU INGRID!
