aw nuts, due to money issues my pressie will be sent a bit late (this week though!). :( I hope it makes its destination before Christmas, but I apologise in advance if it doesn't. :?

i tried to wait until closer to christmas, but just couldnt resist...
the best part of participating in this every year is getting cool stuff from far away places...this year was no different...
my little package from Cumbria, UK included:
postcards from Penrith and the Ullswater area
magnets from Ullswater (which will be up on the refrigerator as soon as i get home- cards too)
a book of Cumbrian dialect translation (with a cute sheep on the cover)
an ADORABLE little sheep statue
and....pencil/pen holders carved out of Cumbrian wood in the shape of a "P" and a "J".

Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Finally mailed mine off yesterday. We had been out of town so couldn't do it before. :( Tried to on Friday but ran into a bit of trouble. Sure hope the recipient gets it in time and likes what I sent! Anyway, it is on it's way.

I am also a bit late with this but it will most certainly be posted by Saturday, really hope it gets there in time.

...umm...add me to the list as well. my gift includes a project that could not be completed until this week. hope to get it in the mail today or tomorrow.
When I got home from work yesterday there was a little card inside the door from the post office. So this morning as I walked to work I thought I would pop in and collect it, I thought my hubby had been ordering some stuff from ebay again.
I was so excited when I got there and it was for me! I quickly rushed to work so that I could open it. It was from my Secret Santa!! It is so lovely, I opened the box and inside was a lovely little red suitcase, wow I thought, what a lovely suitcase, what a nice pressie! After a few moments I opened it and more pressies were inside!!!!! There was a fabulous neckwarmer, which I know I will get loads and loads of wear out of, a tin of absolutely gorgeous peanut brittle, unfortunately I couldn't resist eating a piece straight away, but the lids on again now until christmas (I may have to dip into it now and again for medicinal purposes), a beautiful christmas deco which will take pride of place on my tree and a PJ sticker.
I can't tell you enough what a wonderful pressie it is, thank you so much Vdubois. X
OK package has been sent...it cost more to mail it than it did to buy it!
It's all good...it's Christmas!!!
that's almost always how it goes. :? but it's worth it, I reckon.
pressie sent today!

I just want to say a thank you to my Secret Santa as the parcel has arrived safe and sound
I'm one of the awkward ones who will wait until x-mas to open it though :oops: ... hope you don't mind! I will come back and let everyone know what I received
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

You are very welcomed! And I'm glad you like it. It was fun making the neckwarmer- my first project in a long long time. I did go back and forward with the colors, and remade this like 5 times . I put an extra pin inside, just in case you wanted something different. Enjoy!

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! My handmade PJ scarf is AMAZING and so warm and snuggly. The sweeties are yummy and there's going to be a fight over the backspacer keyring when my daughter gets home!
Marks called dibs on one of the other keyrings and I suppose I'll get what's left over :roll: But they are all awesome!
Thankyou PJ Secret Santa!
P.S. I posted mine last week Hels. Should be well on it's way across the globe by now.
Right off to the post office (last day for posting!!)...am apologising now for the lack of wrapping but am hoping that the contents will make up for it
So whoever gets an unwrapped package from Ireland...make sure you look for everything in the package as there is a "little treat" at the very bottom....Mike would know

I was in such a rush to get to the post before it closed, that I did not take any pictures. :oops: I literally finished it in the post office
And Claireack, if you want the recipe for the brittle, I can pm ya. Its really easy.
OK so what I'll attempt to say here will in no way do justice to the present I just received from my Secret Santa. THANK YOU very much to Endiku, whom as she said earlier in this thread doesn't know me well on here but she obviously did some studying. I quickly ripped through about 10-15 presents this morning right before I went to work, and each one was better than the previous. All pressies were individually wrapped and noted with PJ phrases/words which acted as clues to my frame of mind for the present. Amazing.
In no particular order, I got:
LA3 Boot
A bottle of Lapis Luna Cab Sauv!!!!! (I'm cracking this sucker on Xmas Day and I may not share it!)
A Kids watch (a fight will undoubtedly erupt over this one!!!)
Car Toys (again with the chaos...awesome!!!)
A 2007 Deep
Zombie Mints!
A novel
A blanket
A stress ball toy
Wired Magazine
..and finally...
3 xmas ornaments, one of which is a homemade star with a collage of philly pictures...amazing!!!
This was quite an overwhelming present and it again shows the true heart and spirit of PJ fans of which I'm proud to be a part of since 1992. I'm really at a loss for words (which almost never happens)...thank you so much for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Endiku - Wishing you and your family Love, Health, and Happiness,
