A big THANK YOU!!! to my secret santa **number1PJfan** (aka Jenny).

it arrived yesterday and my husband and parents (who are in town for the holidays) had just as much fun opening it as I did! all the goodies just kept coming! I'd post a pic, but after all this time stil have no idea how to do that on this forum... but here it is in list form.
First of all...all items were locally made/grown in eastern tennessee (where Jenny is from) which I LOVE!
*2 moon pies
*a bag of roasted coffee
* an assortment of Naked Bee products including lip balm, soap and hand gel
* paper and notecards made from a local artist and friend of my SS
* HONEY!
* an assortment of beers made by a local brewery (I loved the story you told about Thunder Road...very cool...and it explains the label)
* last by not least a handmade christmas ornament by none other than number1PJfan!

thank you sooooooooo much for everything. we are already down 1 moon pie and 2 beers, ornament is on the tree and the hand gel has been used several times already this morning!

I love this place and the people in it!
Happy Holidays everyone!

Glad you got it and sorry it was late! Happy holidays and happy new year! Hope you enjoy.

Congrats to you Helen!!! Looks like you'll have a very exciting 2012!

This was my first year participating in the SS, it's so much fun and thanks for organizing it!

I haven't received my gift yet......looks like it'll be a New Years gift now, but I'll be happy all the same when it does arrive.

Happy 2012 everyone!!

Dear SS,

I have not received my package and I'll be flying out tomorrow for vacation, I'll be back in a week so hopefully the package will be here then, I let me neighbor know that I'm expecting packages so she'll keep an eye for it.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

Again, many congratulations Helen and thank you for organising this! xxx

So, I received my present ages ago, it was left for me at the hotel's (hotel for Sian-of-the-dead and audiodave's wedding) reception, which made me feel all VIP.

With amazing willpower, after receiving my pressie, I only tore into the delicious chocolate snowman that came with it. Woving to not open it before Christmas time, I didn't, and out of the several little packages opened only one on the 21st of December. Already I felt very spoiled by my Santa.

Then, I went to my family's for the holidays and forgot my SS presents at home. :roll:

So I've only opened all of them now! And man, I could not be more excited and happy. Thank you ever so much, dottles, I love it all!

Here's what I got:



- A set of colour pencils (in the little tube), which was the thing I opened before Christmas. Super cute and the perfect size to take with me!
- A set of charcoal pencils. I love these and can't wait to try them out! Derwent is my favourite pencil brand as well.
- A lovely flower brooch. I'll need to find the perfect spot for this. Purple is one of my favourite colours too!
- A hand warmer. So cute, so useful. Now that we finally have snow (and a proper winter) too, I'm sure this will come in very handy. I love the lil' owl on it.
- A set of little notepads with cats on them! Cats doing yoga poses! It's no secret that I looooove cats. And I used to do yoga too. Seriously loving these, I can never have too many notepads and these are almost too cool to use.
- A bar of milk chocolate, handmade in Cornwall. Yum! The actual chocolate (or what's left of it) is in the fridge at the moment, waiting for tea time.
- A Rosehip notebook. This is gorgeous. And I love notebooks. And the pages are blank so I can draw in it too. It's 100% recycled as well, which is always a plus!
- Last but not least: A Cath Kidston scapbook. Which, again, is gorgeous! And I kid you not, I had been thinking about doing something scrapbooky or something for this year. So it's perfect!

Seriously, I'm in awe at this gift. This holiday season has been a little blue in places for me, but this present has certainly helped with that. I can't thank you enough!



PS. To everyone/anyone still waiting for their present, don't worry. I got mine pretty late one year (was it last time?), but it got here!
