It's been another lovely year of #yayadvent and #yayswap. Thank you all for participating once again. Same time next year?
Small wrapped cube shaoed package with a large gold number sticker on it.
A pearlescent bauble with a gold leaf pattern.
Final day of #YayAdvent. A pretty bauble for the tree.
Thanks to @scottishruth.bsky.social for a lovely selection of presents. Also to @gazpachodragon.bsky.social for organising, and @cassieeastham.bsky.social for being my #YaySwap partner.
Wishing everyone a gentle and peaceful Christmas.

Feeling pretty mashed today after too late a night yesterday and still catching up on spending all my conference energies. But I have started decorating and here is my bell (no space here for a tree) including my #YaySwap tree.
Delicious cheers to an incoming Boulevardier, and to #YaySwap and other gift swaps. (And to nisse, because you don't want to snub the nisse.) #ConfinedCocktails
Sorry about the cold :( And thank you for the bauble! :) It's a fraternal match for @tenisonpurple.bsky.social's #YaySwap from last year, bringing a bit of much needed coordination to our tree!
View into the depths of a Christmas tree. Two Scandi nisse loom menancingly in the very near foreground. Parts of several ornaments also visible. Centre stage is a large red, gold and black laquer bauble.
Shall try a boulavardier shortly (I blame @jeremymillar.bsky.social for showing off his yesterday), but not until I've finished today's Duo, which all seems to be in the subjunctive. Also admiring my #YaySwap bauble from @artefactual.bsky.social, which went up with the tree yesterday.

My lovely handmade #YaySwap bird bauble from @karenshancock.bsky.social Thank you. And thanks to @gazpachodragon.bsky.social for organising
Two fabric tree decorations. One in the shape of a envelope addressed to Father Christmas, and one in the shape of an 8 point star.
Small wrapped package with a large gold number 10 sticker.
A DIY kit to make a star shaped Christmas tree decoration.
#YayAdvent day 10. A DIY decoration kit.
#YaySwap had also arrived while I was away.
Perhaps I should actually put the tree up...
Productive afternoon. #YayAdvent wrapped and #YaySwap ready to post.
That's also very true.
I must remember to swap addresses for #YaySwap though.
#yayadvent and #yayswap matches have gone out. Please let me know if you didn't get it!
So after recently encouragement, I've finally signed up for #YayAdvent and #YaySwap this year...
This is such fun. I’ve signed up for #YaySwap again in memory of Liz

Cool I'm going to drop #YaySwap in here to help me find this as a reminder later.
A spherical bauble hanging in a Christmas tree. Its base colour is shiny red, with hand-painted gold decoration in the form of posies of flowers, in a folk art style. It hangs from a golden thread.
What an absolute stunner this #YaySwap bauble from @tenisonpurple.bsky.social is. THANK YOU!!
Hand knitted ornament. Snowflake shape with raised surface decoration. In cream yarn with sparkling gold highlights. Held in front of a window with a garden behind
My lovely #YaySwap ornament from @girlinthe.bsky.social A sub-branch of #YayAdvent
Struggling to feel festive until @gazpachodragon.bsky.social sent me this #TeaUp #YaySwap that smells like my old childhood scratch and sniff Christmas book.
