Swap baggie

Santa came my home a little bit earlier and brought me wonderful goodies that I want to share with you all here.
We have a lovely international group to swap goodies. We send swap baggies to each other four times a year in a quarterly base. The last baggie contains a handmade goodie. This year, my swap partner is Margreet from the Netherlands. I received this wonderful notebook from Margreet who made this lovely thing for me using an interesting fabric and old laces.

This is so convenient case I can store my some laces in it ,too. By the way, special thanks for these old laces, Margreet.

This photo shows the both sides of my new note book. As you can see, Margreet had been embroidered front and back sides too. This is totally handmade piece done by my swap sister. It was so nice to know her, we built a wonderful friendship, I hope we'll continue this friendship on the coming years too.
