Omigoodness!! I just got my incredible gifts from Tinkerbell yesterday, WOW!! Thank you so much!!!! Here are some photos:
She really put a lot of thought into this, I can't say thank you enough! Included were:
A book about beer (soooo cool!!!!)
A beautiful wooden bowl
A magnet from New Zealand
A New Zealand inspired tapestry covered in kiwis
A New Zealand calendar (which is now hanging in my office! )
A PJ20 sticker
A beautiful tea towel
A handmade brooch (second image) - It is simply gorgeous!!
I am floored by all this...I've always wanted to go to New Zealand and now looking through those beaches in the calendar I want to go even more.
Thanks so much for bringing a piece of your beautiful country to my home Tinkerbell!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I was thinking the same thing!! Such creative gifts too, I'm sorry that I wasn't that creative!

Yay, packages are starting to arrive nicely. One of my favourite parts of Secret Santa.
I've still got mine unopened, which is some sort of a Christmas miracle in itself. I think I'll tear into one or two over the weekend, will need the cheer, I think.
In other news, my present has been sent and I was assured that it will make it to it's destination in time for Christmas.
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
Waiting for ONE more thing to arrive for my Secret Santa package and then its on its way to the Great White North....well...almost anyway
This is so much fun
peace,
