Thank You Fun with Holiday Swap!

This was the second Holiday gift swap I participated in.  This is hosted by a group of bloggers who set up a separate Holiday Swap Blog.

I got a wonderful package from my Santa, Maria at The Serpentine Library.
Again I received two books from my Wish list plus some other goodies.
Wrapped:

Unwrapped!

The package consisted of: a lovely card, a metal Bookmark, two pretty pens, two notebooks and Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, Book 1) by Cassandra Clare and Dragon Actually (Dragon Kin, Book 1) by G. A. Aiken.

The very cool bookmark reads:  The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt.

Thank you Maria!

Now some of you might notice that I got two hardback copies of Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, Book 1) and if you read my It's Monday post you know that I am listening to the book on Audible.  How did that happen? Certainly not the fault of my Santas.  I did list that at the top of my wish list when I did the list in November. Then, not thinking too hard about it, when it came time for me to download my Audible selections in November I grabbed Clockwork Angel.  So I guess that means I have two copies to share. :o)
One will be one of the Giveaway prizes in the Midwinter's Eve Giveaway Hop that starts tonight.

The Second Part of my Holdiay Swap Gift!

I got the second part of my Holiday Swap package before Christmas from

Serena at Savvy Verse & Wit!

It is way cool but I didn't get a chance to get a separate picture.  It is a typewriter key pendant with my initial M.  Here is a picture of a group of the M pendants from the site JuNxtaposition where the charms are produced as jewelry.  Mine is like the one in front: yellow type on black background. I don't really wear a lot of jewelry but I am wearing this one!!

Thank you again Serena!

My Holiday Swap Package!!

I got my Holiday Swap package this week from

Serena at Savvy Verse & Wit!
Early Christmas ~ Yes I opened it!

Lots of Goodies and two books!

I never heard of either book but reading the blurbs they both sound extremely interesting!

Nice shower gels and splash - I will smell really good!

Three very cool and pretty elastic book marks! They slip over the cover and then mark two - four places with ribbons!
These will come in handy so I can mark a page for notes on a review and (don't throw anything at me) not bend the corner of the page ever so slightly 'till I can make note of the thought I had on that page!

The chocolates didn't last past lunchtime!!
I'll remember Mrs. Field's brand as they were yummy!

Thank you so much Serena!

Good Job especially since I didn't have a wish list posted when I signed up!!
