SUper Friends 2025 Yankee Swap Photos (at last!)

It has become an annual tradition for my SUper Friends demonstrator group to gather each December (or occasionally, early January, if we can't make a date in December work) for our Yankee Gift Exchange.  I'm finally sharing our photos from the swap.

Each person prepares some kind of home made gift for the exchange and brings it wrapped to the party.  Then, after a bit of visiting, when everyone has arrived, we draw numbers to determine the order in which we will get to select gifts.  Once opened, gifts can be "stolen" three times before they lock in.  

Here we are visiting before the swap got under way:

The gifts all wrapped up and ready for the exchange:

We always have lots of yummy food to share:

And, stopped to have Greg get our group photo before we started the swap:

Isabella made a brief appearance, too.  Had to see if she could get any treats out of the deal:

Connie opened a gift from Agnes that included a bottle of wine and a beautiful handmade beaded bracelet:

I opened Jean's gift which had dried apricots and a darling amigurumi:

Nancy ended up stealing that from me!  

So, I opened another gift, and this time, it was a wonderful, lighted decor piece by Connie:

Margery opened a gift from Nancy, which had some pretty pouches Nancy sewed using Stampin' Up! fabric:

Margery's gift had a cute wrapping paper bow on it:

Jean opened it, and discovered a pair of adorable pom pom penguins Margery had made inside:

Jana opened the gifts I had made, which included two crochet pot holders, a crocheted and beaded Christmas tree, and a handmade snow globe:

Agnes opened Jana's gift, which was an adorable work in progress Santa suit bag:

 Here's the finished bag:

This was so much fun!!!  Really love the creativity and love everyone put into their creations, and it is always so good to get to have time with these lovely friends!!!!
