Dear all, especially dear Secret Santa. I am so sorry for posting so late. I have just returned from my holidays and I am sooo excited to receive the gift. Please have a look. It is stunning!! I love the colour, the fabric, the beautiful clutch. Thank you again so much. It is so beautiful and I am sorry for having kept you waiting for so long. When I signed up for the Secret Santa this year, I did not know I was going away - otherwise I would have not participated. Thank you for your patience and thank you so much for this most beautiful present!! I love it! Thank you!

What a pity -maybe they'll show up soon. It's good that you were able to acknowledge receiving them, anyway. It's such a relief when our gifts are shown as arriving, especially those which travel far.

Ii has arrived! Was sent on December 3 and arrived today January 5! However my Secret Santa has my postal code wrong. The right code is: E1C 0A8 (e1c 0a8).
Now, it says this is part one of two...how lucky am I? This proves that all good things come to those who wait!
I received two beautiful embroidered mug rugs ad a gorgeous FSL sun catcher. just gorgeous. A lot of work went into making these...I can't believe there's a part two!

askmcv by askmcv 06 Jan 2014

Phew is right! Here I was complaining about our postal service, and they actually did the extra work of finding the right postal code (is e1c 0a8, but was addressed to ec1 018). I am very happy with my lovely gifts. Thank you again, Secret Santa. Now to figure out who she is...what a puzzle!!

Good job SS...

My SS sent me a beautiful hand towel embroided with an angel fish in teals, a teal coloured glasses case and two FSL tree ornaments, I am very grateful for her work, it is just gorgeous and fits me so well. You will notice the glasses case is the same colour as my glasses. Thankyou so much Secret Santa

Apologies for the delay in posting due to visitors and family over the Christmas holidays. Here is my beautiful SS gift. I am going to hang it up where it can be seen. The picture does not do it justice at all. The fabric round the edge of the quilting is patched in a interesting way and the fabric has a delicate gold pattern on All the coloured fabrics have a pattern on and are in the brown, gold, tan shades and one has some vivid blue on. All totally delightful. It is very humbling to think that someone has spent a lot of time creating this beautiful piece of work for me. I have taken part in all the SS Christmas swaps and it really is BRILLIANT. Thanks again to Sue who arranges this so well for us to enjoy. I am going to see if its possible to take and upload a better picture. So thank you/danke to the wonderful German cutie who created my super present. ( And I hope you love what you have received too)

Sorry I posted it so late as I got the gifts 2 weeks ago. My Secret Sister made a super cute stuffed duck(I think) for my little Lily and a lovely dark green ornament where you can put a picture inside.

Very thoughtfully she made a template for the picture. She also included a very nice card (which I will photograph later).

Look how happy Lily is with her new toy!

Thank you so much my secret santa! I absolutely love everything you did for me and my little Lily!

Merry Christmas!

Good Grief! I posted in chat, not under Secret Santa!
Here's what I meant to post HERE ...
My Secret Santa gifts just arrived from Canada! I'm absolutely thrilled to bits with them! I got a lovely casserole carrier made out of cotton and lined with navy terry cloth, the front reads "Bon Appetit" and the back is embroidered with "Make Thyme to live, love and laugh", a kitchen towel that reads "WIshes won't do dishes" and a serving spoon!
Thanks so very much, Dear Secret Santa! You couldn't have pleased me more! Hugs!

I hope my SS will forgive me I totally forgot to photograph the gorgeous card that came with my gift, it is also stunning, (I love Santas) and my favourite Grandma was Scottish so tartans are a big favourite, and the embossed gold foil border is so lovely.
You can be sure I will keep this beautiful card as I keep all the cards I receive, though it will be a shame to have to put him in a box..... I think I might frame him to bring out every Christmas. Thank you so much, Meg

shuede by shuede 27 Dec 2013

Meganne, I'm too afraid to go to the Chinese website. The last time, they got my information and well over $1,000. It took time, but I did get the money back because it was clearly fraud. (Also, I had to take my computer in because it kept "calling China." Now the computer needs to be completely wiped and reloaded.)

meganne by meganne 29 Dec 2013

Shuede I never have any problems with the Chinese site I download from, if you email me I will help you with it.

My Secret Santa gift came from a Cutie in Missouri.It is a beautiful pair of pillowcases that will go perfectly with a blue sheet set that I have. There was also a lovely hand crafted card done on parchment paper, two FSL ornaments for my tree and some soap in the form of a cross. Thank you so much, it is as lovely as can be. I am so jealous of those who have the big hoops and can do this amazing work. Thank you, thank you, Secret Santa.

As with Meg my photos do not do them justice 2nd photo is quite dark.
Just gorgeous FSL butterfly bowl, FSL Santa & Santa stocking for my fibre optic tree. These arrived in a large cardboard box all sticky taped with aust post tape that is soooooooooo hard to get off took me ages to open the box what a huge surprise.
Then when I opened the card the beautiful butterfly magnet fell out. Just wonderful Thank you, thank you love your gifts SS - I love you hope you are having a really wonderful Christmas. Sally

Don't have a way to upload the gorgeous gifts from my SS, so I'll describe. First, a big, fat cushioned overstuffed chair pincushion, complete with a heart shaped pillow at the back. Then, a bright green flowered tea towel with flower and coffee cup appliques and a contrasting edge, very well planned for color and design. Last, a pair of fingertip towels with a scrolly and pair of butterflies, just the right size design for the little fingertips. Last - a glittered Christmas card, which is what I always received from the maid who helped raise me for 34 years. A lovely reminder of her, long after she is gone. (She knew children love glitter.) It is humbling to receive a gift from a stranger! Thank you forever.

Try as I may I could not get a photo good enough to do it justice as it is the most exquisite, intricately beaded, old fashioned Santa Clause, with fantastic shading and it shines and glistens like sunshine on new fallen snow.
It is truly a work of art made by a very talented Cutie and I absolutely love it, thank you so very much.
Please make sure you click on the photo's to see them larger so you can appreciate the work put into this, it is simply stunning!

P.S. Thanks for coming to lunch yesterday with our family.

Here is the gift I received from NSW, Australia. I absolutely love it! The bag is made from hessian with a lovely design of a New England, Maine, beach house. it has a wooden base, so it is very sturdy. There was also a set of 4 coasters, embroidered with 2 views of my very favourite animals, greyhounds. It's even a design that I don't have -amazing, LOL. Thankyou so much, Secret Santa. The items are lovely and the wrapping beautifully done, too.
