The second Christmas Swap was The Advent swap organised by Fee and I was happy to have Peg as my partner.

It was the first time I have participated in an Advent Swap and it was such fun to open a gift every day and getting to know Peg by chatting each day through e-mails.

Look at all the goodies I received from Peg
