WHOO HOO got my 100% this year! Secret Santa

[happy appy]

Woot! Woot! my ss gift arrived today! Twister was so kind in giving me a great book on miniature horses, a fridge magnet some horse treats and a candy-kebob. I have to say the kids helped me eat the candy on the way home from the post office! Thanks you so much and have a great Christmas! This was so much fun, I will have to do it again next year. Let the planning start!

Received my Secret Santa today from CHANDA! What a wonderful trove! I opened the box and saw the lovely handmade Christmas card. The box was FILLED with pretty wrapped gifts! And I didn't wait for Christmas to open them.

(I don't know how to put photos in the new forum, so I had to use links.)

What I saw when I opened the box:

Glad you liked it all; and glad you didn't wait. yes, I did make the potholders or if you want hot pads for table top. They are all cotton, so should wash up easily. Surprise, surprise, the sock are made in the USA.

the loose buttons came from my mom's stash of buttons, I spent probably an hour digging through her button box looking for different buttons. She has this really old hat box full of buttons, she's had it since I was a kid; used to play with the buttons when I was little. She was happy to share.

My Secret Santa gift(s) arrived today. Could I wait.........of course not. I'm the world's worst at that. So, of course I opened it right away.

Thank you Dannigirl (Angie) for my gifts. I love them all. I received: some hand made slippers, some pumpkin bread, cookies, potpourri and Belgian chocolate.View attachment 13160View attachment 13161View attachment 13162View attachment 13163

As you can see, Henry the buffalo had a good time with the slippers. He said his horns were cold so he put them on and then complained that he now looked like an elephant. He preferred them on his feet.

And, best of all, the gifts were packed in shredded paper. So I used even that. I got to put that in my compost. So Dannigirl, nothing is going to waste here!

Thank you for all my lovely gifts.

forgot to tell you the potpourri is VERY strong. I take just 3 or 4 pieces out of the jar and put them on a little plate or jar lid and put them back and take different ones out every 6 or 8 days. At the rate I am using mine, it will last me forever--or at least till the next fall street fair where I bought this stuff. Mine is the fall mix, yours is the Christmas one.

For the kids Secret Santa - Please post on that thread when you get your gifts from your Santa! T hansk!

Woohoo! Looky look what my super Secret Santa sent me. My package was from Marsha Cassada and boy oh boy did she pick me out a gorgeous long sleeve shirt! She nailed two of my favorites with it : wildlife and Native American. I took a close up so you could see the detail on it. It is called Wolf Spirit. She also sent a box of Sees chocolates. I never met a chocolate I didn't like but I must say that I love these and until now had never heard of the name brand. They are delish! She also remembered the minis and sent them some mini cookies. Oh, and the card...check it out. Anyone recognize it? It is so cool it will likely become Christmas decor that I frame.

Thanks so much Marsha and I enjoyed talking to you on the phone. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
