Sue let me know that you've been sick and I do hope you're feeling better. Will post picture as soon as camera gets home from its vacation with my son. Thank you again. Hugs Karen

20661I have also recieved my gift. My SS knew I love to make trifle and I did not have a trifle bowl. I received the lovely bowl and lid with all the fixins inside to create a trifle. I have already made the trifle and the family gobbled it down. Along with the gift were a beautiful lace angle and a red sleigh. thanks SS you are definately a real cutie, hugs Lisa

What a lovely gift - one they knew you would use over and over again. I like the sleigh and angel, too. Way to go SS.

Well I don't think the bowl is in keeping with the 'hand made' rule, but I guess we shouldn't trifle over it. LOL!!!
12843I received my generous gift of several off-white kitchen towels with a lovely red star design on the bottom (red is the accent color in my kitchen - yay!). Also a scented sachet, 2 holiday buttons and a set of fabric strips. Hubby took off on vaca with our camera, but I plan to post a photo upon his return. Thank you so much Secret Santa. I'm overwhelmed!

Your gifts sound lovely - we will wait until your camera get back from vacation - Hehehe!
315ttt - let's keep this up there where all can see and post when they receive their gift.
44904I've had several emails from those who haven't seen a post confirming the arrival of their gift.
If you have received your gift please post a picture so the sender (and the rest of us) can see it.)
Please note that several people are away from home at the moment and that their parcel will probably be waiting for them when they return.

Meganne,
I am sure you gave a great gift. Its hard when we don't know the tastes of the person who will recieve our gift. I just lookat it as one of several things....
maybe they are shy or don't have computer access on a regular basis, and maybe they don't know how to post a picture, or don't have a camera that allows them to. I wouldn't take it personally. Since I've started playing SS, I've had the person I was SS to not even acknowledge that they recieved their gift on here either at least once.
by meganne
29 Jul 2011
Thanks for that, I was feeling a bit hurt but, reflecting on your wise words, I will now just put it out of my mind and look forward to Christmas.
Hugs and thanks, Meganne
140717we should still have some coming in or that need pictures posted - let's keep this to the top.

So much for the 'secret' bit, Dilceia! LOL. But it's great to hear that you finally received something and were happy. I only sent the notepad holder by the way and it was very clever of Dilceia to find such a lovely item to hang in it -I think it makes it much more glamorous!
by meganne
27 Jul 2011
Well it sure is a great notepad holder, so appropriate for our sewing rooms. Well Done Mariane

22354Oh my goodness! My Secret Santa has really been busy. What a lovely bag I received today. A lovely big bag that can be taken with me to my sewing group. It will hold my quilt and just about everything I need! I LOVE it. It is lined, has a pocket and even has my name on it and I have to say - this is the first time I have seen an embroidery with Mylar. It is gorgeous. Thank you SS for all the work you put into my gift. The photo does not do it justice. I wish you happiness and health always.

A few Secret Santa's have been hit with unexpected illness, so please don't be discouraged, just say a little prayer for a speedy recovery for all of those who aren't well right now.
I know as soon as they are able, their gifts will be finished and mailed, even if a little late.
Hugs and roses, Meganne
2533My secret santa delivered a BEAUTIFUL embroidered framed nativity scene as well as some FSL for our tree. The picture just does not do it any justice at all - it is absolutely fabulous!! I think it will hang on my wall all year!! Thank you Thank you Thank you :)

It is lovely and could be hang all year - very nice FSL snowflakes, too. Way to go SS.
1784I received my package from my Secret Santa earlier in the month. There is a beautifully embroidered Nativity family that she framed, and the cutiest snowman purse. I can't wait to display the Nativity family and put that cute little purse to good use. I've been wanting a special purse for the Holidays. Thank you very, very much. A Cutie too!

That is a great sewing bag/pincushion! Very handy and pretty to boot. And I'm inspired by the FSL ornament covers that I've seen in these gifts. Nice job SS!
11473I received a lovely package today from my Secret Santa and I do believe that she went out of her way to be generous in her giving and making July Christmas gifts. There is a lovely Texas Dish Towel, a home made purse with friend sayings, a home made lavender soap, a needle threader, a candle with tropical blend, a sweet note and most of all the lovely material all of this is laid out on - what will I make for Christmas?
These are the friend sayings on the purse:
True Friend
That’s what friends are for
I’d like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me
Life has no blessing like a good friend
Friendship needs no reason!
You’re so kind
Shirlene,
I do hope you enjoy the little gifts. I’ve added a head start on your Christmas crafts. I hope you like the needle threader, I do embroidery by hand and love mine. The Soap is hand made and so was the purse.
Your friend
From
“CUTE”
Thank you so very much SECRET SANTA - you are sweet, generous and so very kind to send these lovely gifts to me, Your Friend, Shirlene

Oh, I love that Chritmas toile - I bet you could make a lovely throw with that. Good job SS.
211079Here is my Secret Santa gift! There are 4 beautiful little mitten ornaments with embroidered mylar snowmen, 2 cell phone and change purse sets, all in such a cute Secret Santa Bag! I haven't tried embroiding on mylar yet, but these little snowmen are so cute that I'm tempted to give it a go. SS even has a sense of humor--in my email I had said it didn't matter if the gift was Christmas-themed or if it had seashells, and one of the phone & coin purse sets was made with seashell fabric! I laughed so hard when I saw that one! My poor DH didn't have a clue as to why I was laughing.
This has been such fun, Sue. I enjoyed making a gift for a stranger just as much as I enjoyed receiving one. Thanks for coordinating all of this.

Very nice job SS on the towel. Been meaning to try one of these. Cuties are so talented.
24342We woke up to snow on the ground this morning, so does that count as a white Christmas :) (it never snows in Hawera, well almost never. I was told tonight the last time was in 1968!)
Isn't my picture absolutely gorgeous! I don't think the photo does it justice, it really is beautiful, the fabric is shot with silver, and the stitching is stunning. The card is stitched in varigated thread and the two angels fell out of the card when I opened it. I feel blessed to have received such a lovely gift. Thankyou to both my SS and Sue for organising it all.

This tiny dove will hang from the pull cord of my kitchen roller blind with the glass one that already resides there.

by 1allamericangirl

What a gift to treasure. SS you have a talent with miniatures. This is the most personalized gift for raels. I looked close at all 3 pictures posted & love the box with the sewing machine with raels name on the box as well as the throw on the chair. The packages on the rug with the Joy must have been very difficult to do in such a small rug. Loved the galand on the mantel & the view through the window & of course the nice chair & the effect that it looks like there is a fire in the fireplace too. Nice job SS!!!

76409Well it is only Christmas in July Eve here in Texas but we always opened our presents on Christmas Eve. hehe. My Secret Santa was extra nice. I have a set of 6 coasters in Christmas fabrics, a beautiful FSL Angel ornament, a ornament with a magnet to put on my refrigerator (with a prayer for my family tucked inside) and a beautiful ornament with a fsl Mother and Child cover. My Secret Santa didn't know I collect Nativity Scenes. This is just perfect. Thank you so much Secret Santa. Becky
9846Sue, Thank you so much for hostessing this swap. I've enjoyed making a gift, and love the ornament that my SS sent to me. AND... this is amazing to see the beauties that have been shared among the cuties family. I'm really enjoying seeing these pics. --Sharon
