Great answers to your questionnaire. Can't wait to get this swap started or the holidays for that matter.
Thanks so much for sharing Roma! I have a similar tradition in my family of purchasing a new Christmas ornament every year :) And I have a tremendous sweet tooth too! Hope you're enjoying the swap so far and thanks for filling out your questionnaire!
