This is Christmas 2010, not Christmas in July 2011. Please do not post SS received and sent for Christmas in July to this one. Its too confusing.
22354Hi Sue. I mailed my secret santa gift on Wednesday. In fact it should arrive today! Nan Weber
11743
46919TTT so that those of you thinking of joining can see what fun it was last Christmas!
140716So glad to see that our special elves took care of those who didn't receive gifts. If there are any more who are still waiting I would be willing to send out another package to someone who still hasn't recieved anything. I got just as much joy from sending out a gift as I did opening the one I received! Looking forward to the next round!! Thanks Sue for all your hard work putting this together!
22354Don't forget to sign up for the continuing Secret Santa!
140716So sorry my photo took so long to be placed. Here we are, if I can mannage to post it LOL. The most marvelous colourfull bag, scissors and other bits holder, cute litte note book with a lovely little message written in it, and a lovely pen.
Thanks again to the secret Santa elves from down under.
Warm hugs and God bless

Im telling you, I am so proud of my lovely gifts. I do know that my ss got mine, and that is also good to know.
Thanks again Sue.
15907No, Meganne, I didn't receive it but I learnt a few days ago that my SS received mine in time and that's the most important for me.
And I am volonteer to send an another gift to somebody who is still waiting... I just need an adress.
Love
52911722Special thanks to those who volunteered to do another gift run for the people who'd missed out-pity we can't give huge bunches of flowers, coz you're secret, but you know who you are! I wonder if any of those whose gifts 'didn't arrive' had them impounded or otherwise removed from a postal service. Just trying to give 'the benefit of doubt' for some appearing to have not carried through with their obligation. When I mailed something to South Africa recently, it was suggested at my postal office that I not put 'real stamps' on the parcel, as it would then be more likely to 'vanish' for the stamps to be salvaged by persons unknown :( Not sure if everyone thought to send a PM to their respective coordinator when they'd put their gift/s into the mail. We'll have picked up a few useful ideas for future exchanges, with this first experience!
by meganne
04 Feb 2011
Yes that's a good point you make there, but only the co-ordinators know the full story on the SS's who didn't 'follow through' and at least there will be no 'next time' for them.
I can't help but wonder if some of them may have had the thought::: "I'll see what I get first, before I send my gift"
and THEN they may have been disappointed with what they received so decided not to bother sending a gift.
Just an idle thought, so please don't all jump on me. LOL!!!
Hugs n gumnuts, Meganne

Gee, I hope noone would decide not to send due to what they got. That's the reason for the indirect swap, rather than the swapping each way thing, after all (other than keeping it a secret!). If folks put in their preferences as to what colours etc, I'd hope they'd be pretty happy to receive any small token from another cutie.

03 Feb 2011
How wonderful - that we got some help to make this a successful event - I love it. And it is so heartwarming to know that we have Santa's Little Helpers from around the world, too.
140716What a wonderful surprize i got today when i arrived home. I had a package waiting for me to open from Australia. Two elves from down under sent me some beautiful gifts. Thank you so much Santa's little heplers, you's are very talented and very kind. I'm just so happy. I got a beautiful green bag (green is my favourite color)plus a fsl ornament, a pen, note book and scissor holder. I'll try to upload picture to show them off ...hehehe
Thank you again for all your hard work and being so kind.
Hugs Lee

What a lovely set of gifts - you are very lucky that SS found you after all this time. Do you think he might have had you on the NAUGHTY list and changed his mind? Way to GO SS!
by smithandsmith
02 Feb 2011
LOL... i thought i was a good girl :) Anyway if he did, i'm happy he changed his mind.
by nonna57
02 Feb 2011
Wow what a lucky girl you are. Saving the best til last eh? because you so freely give, this is your reward mabey.
by meganne
03 Feb 2011
OH WOW! Another lucky Cutie.
I'm so glad Santa's elves did his/her job for him and didn't leave you giftless.
Looks like your scissor holder is large enough to hold all your favourite embroidery tools.
I didn't know your name is Lee-Anne, that's really different.
Hugs n blessings, Meg-Anne
by smithandsmith
03 Feb 2011
thank you , i'm so happy. My granny named me Lee-Anne, she got the name from a t.v show called Romper Room..lol
63174They are all the very beautiful presents! In the next I want to take part.
4503I did not receive.
I only would like that the present that I sent, I was posted here.
I think many were registered and few answered here.
Taste very of this joke... I regret not having given luck!

Que pena, Dilceia, que o seu amigo não mostrou o presente. Quem sabe ela ainda vai mostrar?
by meganne
27 Jan 2011
Hello Dilceia, I wrote to Sue about your SS gift as I was concerned but she said you were not on her list, so you must have been on the other one.
I didn't know there were two lists????
Who had the other one running?
hugs n gumnuts, Meganne
by greysewist
04 Feb 2011
Meganne, Bevintex volunteered to do a second run when a few people commented that they'd missed the deadline for the first run. I participated via the 2nd run, myself.
by meganne
04 Feb 2011
Thanks for that, Marianne. Bev did write to me and explain what happened with Dilceia's Secret Santa.
Not that it was any of my business as I wasn't able to participate in either, but I was upset for Dilceia as she seemed so disillusioned.
You all know me by now, I don't like to see anyone being hurt and can't help sticking my nose in.
One day it' going to be lopped off, I am sure. LOL!!!
All's well that ends well and I am assured that Dilceia will still receive her gift from her original SS.
I hope to be able to take part in the next Secret Santa as it seemed like great fun, despite a few hiccups. :-)
hugs n gumnuts, Meg

04 Feb 2011
It's *all* of our collective business if a fellow cutie has had a rough run, I think! I'm glad that some cared enough to chase it up. It would be the very worst not hearing your own gift had been received and enjoyed, I think :(
46919
44810Hello, hello to the two elves from down under, and what a lovely surprize, when I fetched a package at the post office yesterday afternoon. It was a package with the most beautifull gifts I have ever seen. Thank you, thank you.
I am going to try to post a picture as soon as my camera has new batteries.
It was a beautifull bag, a holder, with a scissor and my name on,to hold all my sewing bits, and a cutest little note book and pen, with a sweet message inside.
Also so nice to receive a package so beautifull on the 27th of Jan.
Hugs to you and God bless
Marietta.
P.S. I could not wait for photo to say thanks, but will upload soon as possible.

Cindy, what lovely gifts and to get them - one month after - is special, too - WAY to GO SS!
11473I think one of those gifts just landed at Read180's door.
140716
211078I received for my present a very nice bracelet with some butterfly and a bobin of multicolor thread that I love. I've looked at it with interest before on internet but never bought it. I don't need do it now, my secret Santa guessed it !!
Thank you very much my secret Santa, I post the photo as soon as possible.
8073I am very happy for you, Sue, and sad for all those who did not receive anything. I think it can happen not to have time enough or to meet a problem and so, not be able to send anything... but it would be so much better to honestly tell it or to do it later.
It's not because of the present value I feel sad, but because this Cutie did not even respond, even with a few words which should have worth any present. In any case,I was very happy to send my small parcel, hoping at least it brought her some pleasure. Sorry for my english, I hope I made me understood because it's very difficult to express feelings in an other langage. Love
5291My present arrived today. (The post has been terrible here lately - I had a Christmas card last week postmarked exactly one month before!) It is a little gizmo for making Yo-Yos (which I know as Suffolk Puffs) and the cute hanger pictured below on my thread rack where it can watch me while I sew and remind me that you are all out there doing the same!

Great gifts! I remember making yo yo's when i was small. They are so much fun.

So glad that you got these, and nice gifts. We never know about the mail, do we?
14071622354Well - I hope that the late Secret Santa gifts do get to you that are missing them. If they have not been sent - that is a shame. I know that some may be overwhelmed at times, but we all need to follow through with the project.
44810I never received anything yet, but who knows, we may all still get some big surprizes. LOL.
15907I did not receive.

i think it might have to do with the horrible weather we are having all over the world.
46919211078When I opened my Secret Santa gift after Christmas, I realized that I was one lucky girl. As I had divulged my love for angels and Scottie dogs, I was gifted with wonderful angels for my tree and a Scottie made in exquisite FSL. Included was one large FSL angel with the year on her, and a ‘nest’ of pure, white feathers, with a note explaining that the ‘nest’ idea was not complete. I added the adorable nest to the tree top, with the angel perched above it, as though she was standing on a cloud. It is lovely, beyond words, as I hope the photographs suggest.
The Scottie had a rakish Santa hat upon it’s head, and is as cute as any Scottie I’ve seen. All of the other, smaller angels are scattered throughout the tree and make it glow with their beautiful, white brilliance.
My ‘secret Santa’ is such a blessing, and provided me with the most wonderful gifts, and I am eternally grateful. Now I vow to learn to create FSL objects that are closer to the loveliness of my SS. In the past, my efforts have fallen short, and were less than adequate. I shall begin again, and diligently attempt to complete some darling designs, that live up to the high standards that my SS has set. I feel truly blessed, and wish to thank her from the bottom of my heart.
Love,
Jacqueline

Oh my how beautiful - and you just dig in there and learn that FSL - What a lovely SS git you did receive.
70914Thank you secret Santa, i received a beautiful dishtowel embroidered with a pumpkin theme towel topper and matching dishcloth. I cannot upload as my photos are too large and all i get is a big red X have to figure out what is going on.
I am not sure if my gift has arrived as i have not seen a post. Hopefully it has.
2365My gift arrived last week, perfectly timed as we only arrived home from holiday the day before. I finally got the camera sorted today!
A lovely hand towel and mylar angel card! The angel is gorgeous. Thankyou very much to my Santa :)
Now I know there is mylar available in NZ - just to find it, I have been looking for ages.

I love the bag it came in and this mushroom is such a work of art - I love it - way to go SS.
18960No, Sue, I didn't receive any gift. I sent mine before Xmas and unfortunately, I don't even know if the cutie received it !!! But, if she didn't, my parcel should have been back home because in France, we have to put the sender's adress and the cutie does not live not so far from me. But I didn't receive it back, so...
Love
5291I agree with Meganne !So many cuties enrolled and so few answers !!!
by spendlove
09 Jan 2011
Unfortunately not everyone posted pictures in the same place! Did you receive a gift?
5291I enjoyed reading this and looking at the post and photos. I am sorry that I missed the original post to participate. Maybe next time you have something like this, Please everyone make an effort to keep it to the top of community for a couple of days.
85867It's a pity more people have not posted pictures of the gifts they received. It would be so nice to see what EVERYONE received but it would also give other Cuties ideas of things they can make/send if they participate next year.
I have found this post truly delightful to read as you can feel the pleasure emanating from each message.
Hugs n love, Meganne
122864I wanted to let you know i have sat here and read this and truly enjoyed myself. Thankyou! All of you! I loved seeing how wonderful things can be in this world as messed up as it can be! This sharing of joy from secret santas has made me feel the love that was put into all the gifts! my cute family is a blessing and gift all of its own.
A thankful person, Lisa
2756211078I also think my present did not arrive, because the person that I took did not post anything.
I sent December on the 5th.
46919I posted earlier my SS gift had arrived and Shirlene has included my link below but just in case my SS is worried I thought I would say again what a beautiful gift arrived. Beautiful embroidered napkins and the presentation was just stunning. A beautiful ribbon and a personalized tag. It was very lovely. I tried to take pictures to post but my husband's camera would not cooperate. I will ask him to help me when he gets home tonight. To my Secret Santa----Thank you thank you thank you. Becky
by shirlener88

Well - if you can get a picture later on - please add it - we would love to view these beautiful embroidered napkins. *4U Way to go SS

Your secret santee was away from home over Christmas - might explain the delay in posting a message.
114321529146919Came back from our Christmas Vacation in Texas last night. Went to the Post Office to get our mail today. My Secret Santa Gift has arrived and was waiting for me. The person who got me has a creative sense of humor, LOL! She used popcorn as packing peanuts, love it! And so will my chickens tomorrow, lol! I received some towels to embroider on, a screen print with butterflies, a wire bound Christmas Journal and a cat tin with blank cards and matching envelopes. The tin is my favorite,the lid doubles as a picture frame (for pics of my grandchildren of course) The kittens cards & envelopes are so cute! almost to cute to use, lol! Thank you 'cute' Secret Santa from Atlanta Beach N.C.!

22354I just want to say that I really liked this event - I felt that it really brought the CUTE family together and made us closer and made the miles from around the world feel more like miles across a river and through the woods. Closing in on the miles - draws us together as a family and shares our love for one another.

She went over very big at gift opening, and even my grandson was checking her out. This little cutie is made of beads, and pins - such a talent to do these. Special Hugs, Secret Santa - all I know is that it had an Alabama address. LOL

THANK YOU Secret Santa.

She looks like she may be a collectible of "Gone with the wind". Very pretty.

You may be right Kate. She does look like part of a collection of "Gone with the Wind".

What a beautiful collectible! I think I'd be tempted to make the basket into a pincushion so I could keep her beside me all the time. :-)

I also use a mac and opens all pictures in preview and save them making them smaller at the same time. I normally do a quick save on the desktop and remove thereafter.
