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

I have looked at everything thing in this gift. What a great gift and so "out of the box" for this. What a gret idea.
WOW SS !
How neat, i love the boot stocking.
SS was sure hard at work, what a beautiful gift Raels ...something to treasure for sure...
Stunning work! A gift to treasure! Well done SS!
I've made shadowboxes using premade miniatures. I can't imagine making those little gifts and embroidering the rug. All those little details make it special.
What a lovely gift
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!!!
stunning
I can't even imagine how long it took this wonderful SS to create this masterpiece! So many details! Super work, SS!!

We 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.

My Secret Santa sent me this very festive gift, for which I say "thank you very much." I have hung it in my workroom and the jolly snowman with the crooked carrot nose, is a reminder of our usual Christmas weather, here in England. Thanks again SS for your beautiful gift and lovely sentiment.

Here 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.<br /><br />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.

I 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.

Thanks eteaff. Oh I know it will come. Like I told Sue my SS is busy making me something special & probably is working extra hard on it.
be patient.
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

Oh 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.

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!
Well it sure is a great notepad holder, so appropriate for our sewing rooms. Well Done Mariane

I'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.

Still no word from my recipient, I know she received her gift, so I guess she didn't like it. :-((
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.

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.
