Secret Santa Opened

Your welcome KIm, I just asked on the other thread if you had found out who it was.

The bookmark was actually one of the caterpiller charms that Carol had made and you said you loved, so I made one for you. Plus as you like reading thought it would be apt. The silver bookmark is Tibeten, thought they were fabulous.

yes i think its fabulous too jo , its in the middle of a book im reading now . its so pretty .
love the ted too ,he is sat at side of my bed ,billy puts his head to one side when it sings to him ,,,,its cute
lorraine told me who my ss was as i was going through a pain stakingly slow process of elimination ...mind you i didn't think she would give in so quickly i thought she would make me work for my piece of info ,,,,suppose she did not want me to suffer

aw..wot teddy was it Kim?

lets have a look at the bookmark when you cantear yourself away from your book..

Stil no news from sandy? hope she is well. x

heres ther pic of my secret santa parcel



lol richardxxx

wow..lots of goodies Richard..now where to start

Oh Karin I really really loved my secret santa parcel, it was superb and I felt so honoured that you had got me and made me such beautiful stuff. It is the first time I have done a secret santa.

Patty and I waited until Boxing Day to open ours and then we could savour them and we did both have such lovely stuff and we were both squealing our heads off (thanks to Karelyn too here for making Pattys parcel so nice, it was lovely to see her being so pleased and I ADORED her book and Ken loved the Paris cards)

anyway, back to mine.... I was really lucky because (and I cannot possibly rank these items this time as I loved it all)I had a beautiful card, a glorious necklace......(yeah I am going to show you of course) . Necklace had a super super green stone in the middle (do you call it a focal point or something? and a lovely butterfly hanging and I put it straight on and have worn it several times since. It didnt stop there either because I had the most beautiful matching notebook and notelets (no, I will never be able to bear to send them to anybody) and they are so my colours and style. You must have gone way over budget too cos I also had a FANTASTIC clear fairy stamp and I adore fairies.... Karin, you got this sooooo right. and also a beautiful pink beaded cushion.

This parcel was sooo lovely to open and this was one of Patty and I's high spots of Christmas. Sign me up for next year please....

(ps Karelyn, Im glad you liked yours too)

and thank you Lorraine for assigning me such a super secret santa.
Photo will follow tomorrow because saintly husband has solved the battery thing with my camera.

we were all very lucky to get such lovely pressies from our secret santas...what a lovely bunch we are hey

Well here is my lovely lot from Karin... ive put some purple paper under the fairy stamp so you can see it. The necklace is much nicer IRL to.

love that little cushion ,,and the butterfly on the necklace is not a surprise , when the gift comes from our own butterfly queen

oh lovely..very pretty fairy too. x x

Here is my ss pressie from Kate. I have just unwrapped the candle-it was all done up in cellophane and looked really pretty-and realised it matched the card she sent me. Thank you again Kate it was a lovely present

Aw shucks Maria, am so glad you liked it. I've just realised looking at the photo that the necklace colours match the booklet etc. Not planned, honest. Yep I do like butterflies, I have a green one myself that I wear often. The fairy is one of the stamptivity ones that we were all discussing way back in May June time I think. And the cushion, well I thought it could be used as a pin cushion, or spray some nice smelly stuff on it and place in a draw .... a few suggestions. I need to get my photo done and up on here, got some fantastic bits from Bobs.

oooh Laura Ashley....yummy

Hey Dawn, glad you liked your pressie, but did you like the decorated paper bag I put your things in??

Also day 399987, still no SS here

Sorry kate I forgot to mention the bag or include it on the photo! It was soo pretty and even had my name on. I would do another photo but it takes me so long to download am a bit thick on this computer

AW Kate, I think your SS needs to put a claim in!

i keep forgetting to take a pic of my ss gifts .

Did your SS go by the address on the RAKs list or the old address like I have in the list I made ages ago

It went to her new one and Santa is very, very upset indeed.

I did wonder that Ruth and kept meaning to ask Lou to ask my SS cos I have had a few cards be forwarded on.

Dammit meant to ask Gary to pop to the sorting office for me today and go in and ask for me. Will attempt to get up early one day next week and pop in or give them a call if I can find a number.

Finally I got around to taking a picture of all my goodies from Ruth:







Thanks again Ruth - it's wonderful

Oh wow, that book is beautiful, and an image in for a card in for each month too, a terrific gift.
Going to go back and have another looksie as I've forgotten what most of the handmade gifts were.

Had a look and there isn't a photo of everything, now I'm nosy and I want to see the bookmark, and the shopping list, envelope book and the other things that haven't got their pics up.

OH dear I have put most of mine away! I will try to get a picture of the book tomorrow.

i keep forgetting to get a piccie of my book amrkand the chocs ,,well they are no more , but i still have the ted i did not eat him ....yet or the other bits
