It is now just after 1200 GMT on Christmas Eve so it must already be Christmas Day where some of you are! Please post pictures of your Secret Santa gifts here (lets try to keep them together for the Wow factor!)
I'll start the ball rolling with this amazing collection of handmade cards and gifts which have arrived at my house over the last three weeks. I haven't included the other cards as they wouldn't fit the picture but ten of them had koalas and similar on and contained each a beautiful fsl napkin ring. The lovely fsl book mark came from USA and the stocking came from the Netherlands. Huge thanks and hugs to you all.
I haven't peeped at my actual SS gift as I'm saving it for tomorrow.
Hugs n blessings, Meganne
PS, it's not midnight here yet, still have 17 minutes to go, but who's counting? LOL!!!
In Christian love,
Bonnie
Merry Christmas Hugs and wishes, Meganne

I have just opened my SS gift, its so beautiful , my favortite colour too ,There must be hours of embroidery in my tissue box cover,it will look beautiful on the table next to my lounge chair , Than you so much my SS, who ever you are???????
Lenamae
Beautiful.
It was beautifully creatred and as expelained in a short message a first attempt at inserting a zip in the hoop . Welllet me say it was very well done and i loved the little mouse that is attached so that my owl ( whom I love ) will not get hungry. The card too was so nice and will be kept along with other special cards from years past and come out with them every year so i can remember the senders during the special day and send out prayers, some of those who sent them are no longer here in body but close in spirit.
May you have a wonderfull day and many thanks to Sue for organising this fun project.
Have a Merry Christs day. Happy birthday Jesus

I've been wondering...
How was the lace done around the fabric?
My Secret Santa couldn't have pleased me more! THANK YOU! I received this beautiful picnic cloth and two napkins. The cloth is 52" square and has embroidery on each corner (3 with the rose design and then the script "tea roses" on the 4th) She claims she is new at machine embroidery, but, there is nothing "beginner" about this lovely gift!! Thanks so very very much! Merry Christmas to you all! Deb

I was so bummed last year because I was unable to master the down loading. MANY THANKS. pattianne
What is it??
Chris and I have been looking through all the lovely gifts & just have no idea what this one is????
Maybe he was just hot being so rugged up inside the house?
Well done SS.
SOME CUTIES HAVE BEEN SICK, SOME HAD MACHINE PROBLEMS, SOME WERE JUST OVERWHELMED BY OUTSIDE INFLUENCES AND I'M SURE THERE WERE SOME WHO JUST RAN OUT OF TIME BECAUSE CHRISTMAS CAME UP IN SUCH A RUSH AND THEY WERE TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH.
..... SUCH A RUSH AND THEY WERE TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH.
AND THEN OF COURSE THERE'S THE OVERLOAD ON THE POSTAL SERVICES, WHICH MUST BE HUGE!!!
YOU NEEDED TO CONTACT SUE AND SHE WOULD HAVE ASSIGNED SOMEONE TO BE YOUR SECRET SANTA AND SHE WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU THE NAME OF SOMEONE FOR YOU TO SEND A GIFT TO.
PERHAPS YOU COULD JOIN UP FOR BIRTHDAY SANTA OR CHRISTMAS IN JULY SANTA. BUT YOU NEED TO REMEMBER IT IS A RECIPROCAL SCHEME, YOU GIVE ONE TO GET ONE.

Just look at what my Secret Santa made for me, isn't it fantastic! What a clever Santa indeed. The stitches are all beautifully formed, the tension is spot on and it's been mounted with thought and precision. A wonderful wall hanging for many years to come. Thank You Secret Santa, I love it!

Another SS who can't count to one, can I have one of the SS's this year. LOL!!!!
Seriously, Well done SS, beautiful work.
No, I am thrilled to pieces with my gift, it was truly made with love, it shows in every stitch.
Just thought, since I think I know who this SS is, that I would support Sue in her desire to keep the playing field even, ONE HANDMADE GIFT, by all, for all. SETS are counted as ONE.
Giving more can lead to discontent or feelings of inadequacy and discourage new SS's to join as they feel they couldn't possibly give so much, as some here have.

I believe there are still three Cuties who are still waiting for their gifts to arrive.
Please don't forget to let everyone know when you receive them.
