2012 and 2013 Christmas cracker swaps

These are the most recent swaps that I have participated in - Christmas cracker swaps with Southern Cross Crazies.  I really enjoyed making these as some of the favourite colour choices can be a real challenge.  It's great fun waiting to see the crackers which come back in return as well.

Here are the 2012 cracker outers.  Unfortunately I cannot find the image for the third but the colour choices were:
Faye - Autumn
Maureen and Natascha - both Victorian Pastels.

And here are the 2013 ones which were only posted off on December 1st 2013.  The favourite colour choices were:
Arlene - Yellows, Blues and Creams (because of the Mulberry colour in the woman's coat and feathered hat, I added that colour as well.
Jenifer - All shades of blue.
Glenda - Greens, Pinks, Mauves, Aqua colours.
