I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas this year! I certainly had a lovely time seeing family, catching up and eating far too much chocolate! I both gave and received Trollbeads as gifts, and all of mine were lovely surprises. I received two of the Christmas 2010 Collection – Snowball and Sparkling Star – they’ve certainly given my Christmas combo the festive look in the silvers that I felt it needed:

I also received another bead that I loved, but already had in my collection. I popped into ‘Pearls of the Orient’ today, explained the situation and the lovely lady who served me said I could swap it. So what did I choose? A type of OOAK (One Of A Kind) that I’ve been lusting after for a while – a carved amber bead. This one’s a real stunner and helps me on the way to my dream combo of amber and gold:

Did you get any Trollbeads this Christmas? Please let me know in the Comments box – I’d love to know what you got ;o)
