I got a lovely package befitting the COLD season, hot cocoas and some yummy mint lip balm she made. Mint being my favorite flavor I have to say it is wonderful. I got a hand written card Mary Engelbreit (whom I love) just telling me some interesting facts. Thank you so much and looking forward to the New Year of "SECRETS" Laura

Sent my January Secret Santa gift this morning!! Very exciting. Are we supposed to post that we sent things here or on another thread? I forget. Sorry.
Edited to say: If I had read ALL the posts on the other thread I would have realized we didn't NEED to post when we are sending things. Sorry!! I'll pay better attention I promise!

How exciting! I received a package from my secret santa just now! She sent the most beautiful note cards with envelopes that have flax flowers in these really pretty muted colors- 12 of them! And, a set of stationary, and a magnetic shopping list for my fridge! How did you know I was on my last sheet of the one that I have, and I use them all the time?!! Time to go write some letters! ;) A big thank you to my secret santa! :)

Yay!!! I received a wonderful package from my secret sister today! It had a journal with my initial, another cute little notebook with a rooster and matching recipe cards (perfect for the kitchen!, some very fun fabric with barns and farm animals, and a note telling me I'm going to be spoiled (yipee, I already am!).
You made my day much brighter, secret sis. I don't write this to be sad, but more to explain how much your package truly did brighten my day. My year has been filled with extreme joy and sorrow, 8 months ago from yesterday our perfect son, Rowan, passed away from an umbillical cord accident. Right before Christmas we found out we were expecting again, and then last weekend I started miscarrying. Needless to say, it has been a very difficult time, but we try to focus on what joy our shining stars brought us for the brief time they were with us. I was sitting at home today, catching up on work e-mail before I return tomorrow, and I heard my porch door open. I walked downstairs and saw a package on the floor. What a pefect day to receive something cheerful. Thank you!!

Got my first package. It was full of snowflake items and a snowman cookie cutter. I love them all (so did DH). I have them all displayed (and candles burning)to enjoy. I love this. Thank You SS.

And I just received my first gift, too! Perfect day - I really needed a pick-me-up. I got a knitted stocking cap - in yellow with a green bow - how did she know that I just lost mine??!!?? A pretty yellow teapot with some yummy tea, some dried pineapple, a chocolate orange and some crackers to enjoy with the tea! Thank you so much, Secret Santa.

Oh Jonnie I discovered the chocolate oranges this Christmas and have become addicted. By the way now you know that I am definately not your SS because if I had a chocolate orange I would not send it to you. LOL.

Just got home to find a package at my door! Wonderful box of goodies. I loved the hot chocolate with marshmellows, the delicious organic cookies, ever so cute 'JOY' pillow and the beautiful striped candle. Thank you so very much. Great fun and very uplifting. You are a wonderful secret santa!!!

I recieved my package sometime ago. I am so sorry my thank you has been postponed. Both boys got sick and then of course I got sick from taking care of them. Thank you to my Secret Santa Sister! The magazine and chocolate bar were perfect. |
