Hello everyone, seems Santa has been busy sending smiles to mailboxes. Kristi, I did receive a message from your Santa wanting me to let you know that it looks like you are missing some mail, somewhere out in postal land is a few more goodies and if you haven't received them by the time she sends her reveal package there will be a little extra in there for you to make up for the lost mail. I also want to let our Canadian sisters that I was notified by their Santas that packages have been sent out by the shipping deadline for international shipping and hopefully the postal gods will let those packages get through. I hope everyone is preparing a special package to be mailed out within the next 10 days or so revealing yourself.

That's great Joyce. Lovely packages! Our mail is still rather sporadic. Oh well perhaps we'll be having an extended Christmas season!

Just got a lovely package from my Secret Santa - a card, a tea towel and delicious tea (I've already had one cup)! Thank you so much Santa!
For some reason the photo won't upload. I'll try again later.

My Secret Sister Santa knows me so well. I received a beautiful Christmas Card today that she made for me, a StarzOn ink Pad which I needed and the cutest pair of Doxie Footies, I loved them! Also a kitty bookmark with a note on the back that said Annie her Calico Cat had a little Catnap on my footies, the Doxies didn’t mind at all! But, they are wondering what the smell is. I love kitties, I lost mine about 6 years ago, Prancer Cat was 21 and I miss him. Thank you again for my goodies I sure appreciate you.

I was in tears by the time I was finished opening my present. I was soooo spoiled....and I just love verything so much. Thank you, Julie, you have been such a sweet Secret Santa. It was my first time doing this, and you made it such a wonderful and caring experience. Thank you!!!

Your so funny with the handwriting idea. It has been such fun. So sad about all your mail troubles, the strike makes things spoil some of your fun. Hope it's all better now.

I received this package from Secret Santa today.
This yarn is just the right color. I will have enough to make something nice. Tea is always good. Can't wait to find out who is sending presents to me.

Sherry, thank you so much for being my Secret Santa. Your package just came and I'm overwhelmed. You have been so generous! I love it all. The chocolates are gone already, needless to say. I love the fabrics and will have fun planning projects for them. I love having little scissors in each project bag that I have on the go. The gardening gloves will definitely come in handy. The socks are great too, as my husband always says, you can never have too many socks. I've gotten back into making cards recently so the scrap booking paper will come in very handy. I love the garland and the wooden label (at least that's what I will use it for). The cookies will come in very handy when we have our big family gathering on Boxing Day. The little clothespins are so cute. I love the lists and paper tags as well. The honey will be perfect for my morning tea. Thank you so much for my wonderful package and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I received my reveal package. Thank you so much Carol!! I love everything and had so much fun doing this.
How did you know I needed a Christmas hat? I still have a couple Christmas gifts to finish but I already have plans for the yarn and fabric as soon as they're finished. I'm excited to have a book to read on the 26th to help extend Christmas. The basket goes great with my santa hat and boot collection. I love the ornaments, cow salt and pepper shakers, and candle as well. I also have many pages marked in the recipe magazine. Mint chocolate pancakes - sounds like a new favorite to me!!! And the best surprise of all is that Carol (who lives 2 states away) has a daughter that lives in my town!!! It is a small world! I'd love to meet some day when you're up here. This was the perfect Christmas package Carol. Thank you again so much!!

Hi Julie,
I have only received 2 emails from you, both at the very start. If you have sent more, I have not received them. I really enjoyed doing this!!

Heather--
I am glad you enjoyed the package. I was a bit worried about the candle and salt and pepper shakers despite my packaging. Whew! It was such fun putting it together. I'll keep you posted the next time we are in your area. Indeed, it is a small world! Merry Christmas!
