I look forward to a friend’s special, annual Christmas Charm swap, and had fun putting a little extra zip into my presentation this year. I used 15 oz. tin cans, wrapped in some strips of Midori paper. Double-sided tape is my friend, since it hides, and does a fine job of holding the papers in place. Inside the cans are homemade ornaments and some other goodies for crafting and eating. No charms! We’ll share a potluck lunch, and do lots of visiting. It is a wonderful way to share a day during our holiday season.

Sounds fun.
I recall taking part in a charm swap that you had at another website. It was a lot of fun, though I was the only real outcast, not being able to take part ‘in person’. You were all gracious enough to allow me to play along via the PO.

You are one of the nicest outcasts I know! It was fun to have you participate in that charm swap. I even remember the spiffy black and white charm you created for all of us. Hope your holiday season is the best ever.

Wowza! You are the genius Queen of presentation. Simply gorgeous (and great photo too – I like seeing tree in the background).

Thanks for your kind words about my cans of swapping happiness. And I’m most flattered you liked the photo. My up close vision is still a bit iffy until I get my new prescription in a month. Thank goodness for the automatic setting on my camera!
