This is the second year running that I've joined in with the Christmas Card Swap which Amy from Love Made My Home has organised. This time I was partnered with Melanie from Wuthering Heights Farm but as Melanie has recently decided not to carry on with her blog, I was worried that she might have decided not to take part in the swap afterall.
I received a lovely email from Melanie saying that she did still want to exhange cards and I received this lovely one all the way from Canada.
I'm afraid that I didn't think to take a photo of the card I sent but it was one I bought from a local shop with a similar message to Greetings From Garforth, which is the small town where I live.
This is a wonderful swap to take part in, it's relatively inexpensive and allows you to make new blog friends. Many thanks for organising it, Amy. I'm linking this post to Amy's Sharing Our Card Swaps post where everyone's sharing the lovely cards they've received.
Lovely picture. Card swapping sounds like a good idea. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed taking part in the card swap, it's a great way to be introduced to some new blogs as well as receiving a lovely card through the post.
DeleteI'm glad your partner decided to still exchange, your card is unique.
ReplyDeleteI'm also from Canada and send wishes for a Merry Christmas!
I'm pleased that Melanie decided to take part in the swap. I've never had mail from Canada before. Thank you. Sending seasons greetings for a wonderful Christmas to you too.
DeleteWhat a sweet little card. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt is, I love the picture. Thank you and a merry Christmas to you too.
DeleteWhat a cute card you received from Amy's Christmas card swap. Have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI did, and it came all the way from Canada. Thank you. Sending wishes for a merry Christmas to you too.
DeleteVisiting from Amy's... Sweet card with its wise and cute owl. I am sad to know that your car swap partner won't be blogging anymore, though.
ReplyDeleteI love owls so this card was perfect for me. It's sad to hear when blogs fold, there seems to be a lot of it happening just lately.
DeleteWhat a beautiful card and lots of fun to participate, Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful card. I've had lots of fun with various swaps this year. Thank you and sending wishes for a merry Christmas to you too.
DeleteI enjoyed the swap too, must remember to link back up with Amy also. Your Canadian card is lovely x
ReplyDeleteIt's a great swap to take part in. I love the card and the fact that it came all the way from Canada makes it extra special.
DeleteI agree x
DeleteOh, beautiful, but then you know I have a soft spot for owls. Glad she still took part with you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI love owls too. I'm so pleased that Melanie still took part in the swap even though she's no longer blogging.
DeleteI am so glad that you enjoyed the card exchange! Thank you for joining in. Happy Christmas! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful swap, thank you for organising it. Thank you, sending happy Christmas wishes your way too.
DeleteWhat a charming card, and all the way from Canada. I think this is such a great idea. When I was a kid, I had a pen pal all the way in England and I had so much fun writing to her and learning about her culture.
ReplyDeleteI had penpals when I was a child too, one was from the US and I had another in Sweden. I always love receiving mail from other countries.
DeleteWhat a pretty owl, something quite different.

It is different, I love owls so this card was perfect for me.
DeleteIt's a great card, Jo. :o)
ReplyDeleteI don't have any other Christmas cards with an owl on so it's certainly different.
DeleteI too have so enjoyed Amy's card swap, a great introduction to so many lovely new blog for me.
ReplyDeleteThats a beauty of a Christmas card, quite mesmerising.
