Secret Santa Exchange

As many of my readers know, the Blogging Business Artisans is my favorite team on Etsy. I love interacting with such a great group of Etsians and getting to know each one. Our team is very active and social and we like to have fun. One fun event we planned this year (and last) was a Secret Santa Exchange. Sharla of Beaded Tail always does a great job organizing the event.

This year I was lucky enough to have Natasha of Stalking The Wild Snark as my Secret Santa. Natasha knows that two of my favorite colors are purple and teal, so she created a special pair of earrings just for me! The colors are perfect and I love how light weight these are! Thanks Natasha :)

 

This year I got to be Santa for Ayla of Eyelah. I know Ayla loves jewelry, but doesn't wear earrings, so I sent her a fun chevron necklace and matching ring.

Secret Santa Reveal

My wonderful teammates at the Blogging Business Artisans hosted a Secret Santa Exchange this year and I couldn't be happier with my gift!!!

I was paired with Cynthia of Antuquity Travelers and I received the most beautiful pair of earrings! Cynthia knows I love the color purple, so she created these with amethyst onion cut stones and silver findings. Just look how pretty they are!

I've already worn them several times as I wear purple quite a bit. I love the dainty size as I can wear them day or night and with any outfit!

Thank you so much Cynthia!

I was also paired with Judy of JNOriginals as my gift recipient. I know that Judy loves journals and that she also owns a Bind-It-All, so I knew the perfect gift to make for her! I made her a personalized journal with wooden covers. And since she has the binding machine, she can add pages and refill the book when needed so it can be used for a long time to come!

Judy also mentioned that she likes hazelnut and chocolate, so I sent her a couple goodies along with her journal :)
