Christmas From Denmark!!!

Oh, don't you just love receiving a Christmas package? There so much excitement and wonder that accompanies the arrival of something coming through the mail just for YOU! When you add the Christmas factor that excitement quotient seems to rise a little, wouldn't you agree? I know I get excited thinking about what is inside. What could it be??? Then add to that excitement even more when the postmark says "DANMARK"! Oh, lucky me!!! I got a Christmas package from Denmark, can you believe it? Who else could it be from but ....

Susanne from Dantatter's Nook!

Okay, it wasn't really a surprise because we

had decided to do a private

Christmas Tatting exchange

between the two of us.

But I didn't know what exactly it would be!

Would you like to see?

Here is an adorable

Danish Christmas card.

It says "Glaedelig Jul"

(Sorry, Susanne, my American keyboard doesn't

have the fun letters on it that yours does)

Inside the card was this tatted stocking.

It's hand tatted lace done by
Dantatter, herself.

Inside she also placed a

traditional paper Danish heart!

It opens up to make a little basket and

Danish tradition has it that they fill it with

nuts and candy and hang it on the Christmas tree.

See how the white forms a little cross...

...just like the Danish flag!

Look at the cute little piece of handmade crosstitch!

Susanne, A.K.A. Dantatter, also knew

that have never tatted with Altin Basik brand thread.

She sent me some samples of it

along with some beads!!!

Wasn't that sweet of her?

She finally got her gift from me today.

Here's the tatting that I sent her.

You can see her blog post about it here.

Thanks for stopping by today. I'd love to hear from you! Feel free to leave a comment and say a little "hello" or let me know what you think of Susanne's wonderful gift from Denmark to little ol' ME!!! Hee Hee, I'm giddy with delight! I have been waiting forEVER to post about it because I didn't want to spoil the surprise to her by posting the pics of my tatting to her. She's such a good exchange partner that I got my gift a whole week before Christmas. I, on the other hand, waited until Christmas week to mail (I had many hindrances come up, what can I say?)

her package to Denmark. She was kind and patient though and finally got hers today.

Hope your Christmas was Merry!
