Christmas Trinkets & Traditions Swap Link-up

YAY! The link-up for the Christmas Trinkets & Traditions Swap is finally here!  I've been looking forward to this day since we started...i mean who doesn't want to see all of the goodies other people received?!  So without further ado... I was paired up with the lovely Ella from Champagne & Cardigans. Ladies if you don't follow Ella, you should now; the girl has style, humor, a great blog and more! I've enjoyed stalking reading through her blog these last few weeks getting to know her better and was so happy i was her swap partner!  I was estatic when my box came in the mail, and oh man Ella did not disappoint! 

Isn't her handwriting amazing?! 

Ella you need to teach a class!

I was also excited to be swapping with another southerner, even though i do love my northern friends equally!! {and i'm jealous that y'all get snow!} 

. . .

First things first, the Christmas in a Jar....oh my gosh it smells amazing.

I had it simmering ALL DAY TODAY and my house smells like a Christmas forrest, it almost makes me want to lick the walls....almost. 

The ornament...love it. I love all things silver and stars (seriously) so this was like a dream come true!

Ella did such a fantastic job with the gifts for this swap, i feel like mine are lame...but it's the thought that counts right? Or is that just what people say to make themselves feel better?! 

. . .

I can't wait to see what everyone else that participated received!
