OMG - I went to the mailbox, and found a wonderful package!!! Of course, I couldn't wait!;) My Secret Santa sent sooooooo many fun embellishments! She sent cool colored clips in different shapes, overalls and kisses shaped brads, football stickies, synonym tabs (can't wait to use these), sticky cord in beautiful colors, themed vellum words and verses, wonderful textured papers, snowman, frog & bunny eyelets, and wonderful thank you cards!!! What an incredibly awesome package!!!!!!! Thank you Secret Santa - I can't wait to play with all of this!!!! There's some new things I've never used that look like so much fun!!! You're the best!!! I forgot to add that my Secret Santa lives in Ohio - not that far from me! Still trying to figure it out - but it's getting narrowed down!
ETA: I'm pretty sure I know who my wonderful Santa is!!! Not positive, but almost!
Denise, I'm glad you liked everything. Sorry it wasn't wrapped, I was in a hurry to get it out on time & totally forgot. Your wish list was a "lifesaver". Enjoy the goodies & Merry Christmas to you & your family...Rita
Thanks for the lovely butterfly card. I really love what you did with the glitter and the individual butterflies. And cinnamon altoids!!! ( I am soooo addicted to them)
wow! thank you so much, Secret Santa! I musta been good this year because Santa brought me so many nice things! I love the personalized clipboard (I love the eiffel tower!), decorated notebook (I must make some of these!), my lovely xmas card, and all the embellishing goodies! The MN moose tin was too cute! thanks for showing me what the possibilities are for these items and then giving me some of the tools I need. I have no excuse not to make some now. :razz: Merry Christmas and thank you Secret Santa, you rock!
I tried to hold off opening the package but only lasted 1 day! so pathetic. ;)

Skittlebrow,
I was your secret santa. I know you don't know me. It sounds like many folks on this board know one another. I don't think I personally know anyone on this board except I saw someone's location once that is the same town as mine (only 2000 people in my town). Anyway... I'm glad you liked everything. I love the Eiffel Tower too. I almost hated giving up the clipboard, except my name is not Jenny. Enjoy everything and when you make something cool, put it in your gallery. Oh, that's ok that you didn't wait. I would not even have been able to wait a day.
thank you very much, Ann Marie! you were an awesome secret santa! like you, I don't personally know any of the ladies who frequent this board but the fun and fellowship I feel here makes everyone seem like an instant friend. though it's been a long while since I've posted anything I've made (the holidays sure can be a crazy time) I will definitely be visiting that side of the site again. merry christmas and happy holidays to you! jenny
Thank you for the Art of Life card and the cool wire letters. I'm sure going to have fun figuring out how to use them! Your message through Nikki yesterday has got me really curious, but I'll be patient. Thanks for making this so fun!
Your package arrived today and I love all of the ribbon assortment you sent. I have joined the Christmas Card 2006 challenge and I know these will be so useful! The colorful hemp is so pretty! I love hemp and can't wait to use it.
Kristi S. from Beulah, North Dakota, is definitely the best Secret Santa! She sent me a box full of small decorated envelopes and bags that each contain a fun item -- flower brads, shaped metal clips, drink mix, a stamped memo pad, unstamped handled bags... And those are just the things I've opened so far! There is a package to open each day up to Christmas Day! (My 9-year-old daughter is helping me unwrap!)
Thanks so much, Kristi! I've enjoyed all of the beautiful cards and other stamped items that you've sent me, and I will think of you when I'm having fun using the "raw materials"! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
Warmest regards,
Renae
P.S. I don't know your SCS name! Do you have a gallery?
Many thanks to my secret santa in Irvine, CA (can't wait for the reveal thread)!!! I loved the beautiful blue photo album, wonderful miscellaneous embellishments (especially the ribbon and tags!!), doggie stickers, stuffed rottie (too cute), craft organizer and treats (cheetos and skittles)!! I really tried to hold off opening it; but was too excited!!!
Thanks!

I wanted to take this time to tell my secret santa that I am sorry for not posting a BIG THANK YOU for the gorgeous cards. I have no excuse :( other than real life got in the way! Pls forgive me!
The cards that I have rec'd have been absolutely gorgeous. I have taken them to work and shown them off. Even CASE'd one for a special Christmas card to my parents.
I hope that everyone has had a great time with this. It has been fun rec'ing and sending.
Hope that NURSET makes it to Texas safely. (I was her secret santa!!)
Dont everyone work too hard at preparations for Christmas this week.
I am in ribbon heaven here! I received my package and it is awesome! My Secret Santa was Deb Kennedy and she really spoiled me! I receive the Happiest of Holidays stamp set, so much awesome ribbon, some brads and clips and 2 of the cutest snowmen ever! Thank you so much, Deb! I love everything! The ribbon is great. It's exactly what I like to use!
Merry Christmas to you as well and thank you again!
I got my GOODIES from my secret Santa today! They are wonderful!!! I got chocolates, a pad in its own beautifully colored handmade booklet, a journal/picture book, the COOLEST reindeer purse with all kinds of goodies in it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU HEATHER!!!! BTW hows the weather?
Janice,
I'm so glad you got your package! I mailed it priority last Monday and I have been checking the tracking number for a week hoping it got to you. I was getting a little worried that it got lost! I hope there were things you could use in it. I had a lot of fun putting it together. I hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Year!
I hope my package arrives in time! I had to leave for Texas on Friday and my sweet husband mailed it for me (or this is what he told me anyway)!! I guess I will have my surprise waiting for me when I get home!!!
Wow, I have the best Secret Santa ever! I loved the card, I don't know how she did the stuff on it around the edges, but it is beautiful. Then I received a new package of rich regal card stock, wow can I use that, and then I got some great tags, and one stamped cube note pad and then one new one for me to stamp. Oh and the candles are adorable! I was really disappointed this year at the secret santa at the school where I work, but wow, Donna made me continue to believe that there are Great Secret Santa's out there!!!!
Thanks a bunch and merry christmas! Your the best!

My Secret Santa Rocks!!
I just got a great package yesterday from my Secret Santa. See the attached photo. I couldn't wait to open my stuff. One present had a cryptic message on the tag that said, "A little birdie on SCS said you'd quite like to do this!" That just made it way to hard to wait. So, I opened it and I was floored. She got me a bunch of quilling stuff. There is paper, a little tool kit, and a CD. Woo hoo!
I responded to a thread a while back about some quilled cards someone had done. I have been wanting to try my hand at quilling but haven't as yet jumped into it. It's so great because now I don't have to decide whether to do it or not. I'm doing it!! My Santa must have been stalking me and reading my threads. She's very sneaky.
Then she also sent me some great vintage stuff including an Eiffel tower stamp. It will come in so handy because we went to the Eiffel tower in the summer of 2004. There was also all kinds of other vintage stuff, perfect for scrapbook pages or cards.
And, she also sent a little gift to my kids. I'm making them wait until Christmas to open it. How cruel am I?? I opened my presents but I'm making them wait. Hee hee.
I still don't know who she is, but I'm so grateful to her. She's very thoughtful and did an awesome job! Also, make a note of the great card she made. Thanks Santa!!!
I know you all think you have the Best Secret Santa ever, but I think I have all of you beat. I received my package today and I don't think I will ever get through looking at it. She had so many wonderful things in there, a set of coasters, lots of scrapbooking embellishments, etc., socks, an adorable can, which was chocked full of lots of stuff too!
Thank you my dear Secret Santa!
Hope
OMG!!! I just rec'd my package today and not only was it filled with tons of goodies:shock: but it had a canister of old fashioned hard candies that I haven't had since I was about 6! It took me back to some very memorable holidays with my family.:p
Anyway, I got a pack of SU cardstock (now I can join ALL the swaps), stamped candles, fibers, 2 pairs of decorative scissors, handmade stickers, vellum tags, snaps, eyelets, a WONDEFUL Yankee candle, and best of all a FRIENDS trivia game!!!!!! My kids and I are getting ready to play right now so I better cut this thank you short.
Cathy, I can't thank you enough for everything...you are an AWESOME SS< I hope I get you next year, LOL!!!;)

I'll go for that one!!!!! That's my favorite "holiday" of the year (I do taxes for a living), I'm celebrating this one by signing up to be an SU demo! You're all welcome to help me celebrate!!!!
I like the way you think Danielle. I keep checking this thread because it cracks me up. It's a shame we weren't paired up. Hopefully we'll get paired up for the "Secret Groundhog" swap. Hee, hee, hee.....
I got the most amazing package from my Secret Santa, Lisa Alaniz today! It has everything I could possibly wish for... Fibers and ribbon, brads, alphabet and phrase embellishments, a stamped notebook, the cutest little Noel can that holds (grandbaby) pictures, a bag of stamped tags, a can of almonds, a Christmas card with my absolute favorite Christmas song, Mary Did You Know in it (how in the world did you know?), Bordering Blue and Bravo Burgundy stamp pads, and a great "Grandchildren" picture frame. I'm speechless! and absolutely spoiled! Thank you so much Santa Lisa!
Thank you Secret Santa - I can't wait to play with all of this!!!! There's some new things I've never used that look like so much fun!!! You're the best!!!
