SECRET SANTA

Hey, its Christmas day...yay, can I open them now???????? please...pretty please with a holly leaf on top..I honestly have not given in yet....not even a peek...

so here goes x x x x

She sways across the room singing, 'Don't stop me now'

oh crap...sorry but geri beat me to Opening them...she just brought me in a cup of Tea...in my fiorst Xmas pressie...a reindeer mug in red with the picture in white xxxx

ooooh oooh ooooh

I got a super handcrafted bag, with a photo of a goat and a photo of me and Isla x x

and i got a pillow with a verse about grandma's house

and some crafty shapes and some gorgeous papers and some lacy edging.

Well thrifty, you had me fooled ..i was convinced it was from Jo, as on the inside of the bag it was posted in had a lincolnshire postmark...clever gil and thank you, it has started my christmas off with a bang x xand lots of smiles....

Thank you very much Billie for my SS. I got craft goodies and a decorated book box, lovely

I will post up a piccie next week (out all day tomorrow having Christmas with my family).

THANKYOU Steph, I always leave this to last so I get peace to open it and have a good look at everything. I will take a picture tomorrow when its quite in the morning. Luvly and the storage box is just what I need for some beads. xxx

Thankyou to Emma for my lovely SS. I got a handmade hanging calendar and a bookmark all in purple with butterflies, a diary with an embossed cover, some lovely cozy socks and some craft goodies. Will get a piccie up soon.

Richard, you are soooo naughty, I have tons of stash and a beautiful huge card, book mark and door hanger. I wll get photo's tomorrow and try to list it all. Suffice to say I am thrilled, thank you xx
Mother impressed too, wow.

Well Jo was my SS, and I have been very spoilt! A beautiful bookmark with some of Jo's amazing beads (felt and polymer), the most adorable christmas pudding (now on the tree), and some crafty stash, and some gorgeous handwarmers (far too nice to wear in that mucky old factory ). Will take a piccy asap, but tidying up in advance of MIL's arrival. Thank you Jo!

Well, I have to say thank you to Karin for my SS. I was convinced it
was Lorraine, because Karin, craftily, reused an envelope that Lorraine
must have sent something in to her in, and it had Lorraine's postcode
on the back. Clever girl, I didn't guess until I opened it.
It is ovely Karin - will take a photo and put it up - loved the bracelet.
Thank you sweetheart.

Thank you Cath for my loverly box of embellishments from the papermania capsule collection. all in aqua, gorgeous cool colours. i'm already searching for other bits to go with. she made me the neatest book, a pack o crafybitz in pink which will go well with the aqua and a chcolate star. all very much appreciated. thank you cath.

Jane - Lindy/My mum responded here: https://lousloonies.forumotion.com/t4082-merry-christmas

Also received a text from Karin last night thanking mum for her secret santa gift (they were busy playing with a scalextrix and a bead spinner! lol)

Thank you thank you thank you Sectret Santa, as with my card (unless I am been Dumb) I still dont know who the secret santa was from. It was lovely, lots of crafty things ( will put picture in the gallery) and a fab easel canvas (it even has my name in the example picture!) perfect someone must have been listening to me wanting a little wooden easel stand for my cards!!!

A lovely handmade photo frame and a gift tag / book mark I love them all, very lucky this Christmas. Let me know who your are xxxxx

Your welcome, used my mums addy,lol.

I was facebook messaging to billie Last night and she was pleased with what i had sent, she won't tell you, but she was suffering a bit yesterday x x hope all is well now x x

Thrifty, everyone was admiring your handy work with the bag. x x xi love it x

Lol steph, that was deliberate, I used Lorraine post code as she was the host I figured if it went missing it would get to the right place in the end, but at least go back to someone who would no what it was.

That way no one can guess it.

So glad you liked it all hun.


thank you to Lindy for mine, i got some lovely brads/embellies and a gorgeous butterfly made from chipboard and covered in lovely colours flowers etc. Will put up a pic as soon as I can. Can't do it through this laptop and its soooo cold in the loft at the moment.

Aw thanks

Have I boobooed again, I put all my thanks on the picture thread, and I was first on there as I was sort of naughty I opened mine just after midnight so it was christmas day, it was a really lovely parcel of goodies, the set of pens are lovely, all different types of dottys on them, and the calendar is very elegant, lovely pictures each month, and looking forward to reading the book, thank you again very much Sue.

Has everyone actually received their SS presents? There seem to be several people who signed up for it who haven't said 'thank you' yet? Wondering if RM are holding parcels hostage as well as christmas cards.

I think some people are on this SS thread and others with photos on the other SS thread.

sorry i havnt been on earlier will post pics soon,
thankyou for the lovely stash but what really blew me away was the incredible item you made for me,

Out of the 15 on the SS list only 7 have posted pictures, I am disappointed as I love to see what everyone has got, or have you not received your parcels yet.

sorry billie, i'll have to gather my pressies and have dh snap them for me.

I'm with Billie.

Yes, get 'em up girls, show us what you've got!!

...not to mention a waste of coffee

I'm still waiting for Tom to put my camera lead back onto computer then I can try and upload piccies of SS and card.

I can't get Photobucket to work so is going to take a bit longer then expected.
