Sorry I didn't send this earlier, crazy couple of days.

Thank you Mindi for my fantastic presents! Your package arrived on Christmas eve- right on time!

I got a beautiful knitted hat, lovely smelling soap, a musical stocking, a bag of candies, a cool hooded shirt for Gwen ( she loved it - especially the long hood), and a 2008 tour shit- the year of my first concert.

Thank you again ad I hope you had a wonderful Christmas

-photobucket giving me problems. I will try to upload pictures later

Enkidu

BTW, what happened to Photobucket? For me it doesn't work at all in Safari and only sort of works in Firefox.

(I love this thread - it's amazing how creative people are.)

Sending out a Thank You to THEFIXER9 for his wonderful Secret Santa Gift.
He included all the things I listed, that are my favorites: Chapsticks(x2), Vanilla Candle, a customized notepad that has a Green Bay Packers Logo on one side and a beautiful photo of Josh Homme on the other side.
He also sent a PJ Pin, A bootleg of a show from Seattle in 1992 and a really cool Bowl/Dish from Seattle with some Seattle Chocolates. I smiled from ear to ear as I opened the box that has been sitting under my tree for a few weeks. Not to mention the completely handmade, drawn and colored christmas card! Really Rico, you made this super duper special, after not ever receiving a gift last year - you know exactly how crappy that was, you said you never got a gift last year. I hope you got a gift this year.

Thanks Dimi, you did a fantastic job this year.

I hope my receiver posts on this thread at some point, I got confirmation that the gift was received some time ago but I haven't heard from her at all :(
To me, That's one of the funnest things about this exchange-hearing from the person you gifted.....


Here are some photo's of what THEFIXER9 sent to me

So tonights the night...

thank you for being patient my lovely new friend from down under,
mortonbayfig and getting my package to me early. I had to put it out of sight
to keep from jiggling
I will enjoy opening tonight with JB and post pictures asap.

No word yet from my recipient,

This has been a great Christmas season and Secret Santa is the best part of it!

Woo hoo! Got a text from my hubby while I was at physio asking me if I knew anyone in southern France? Of course I did! As I met a lovely young lady from the board in Marseille last year. Turns out she was my secret Santa!!! In a high state of excitement, yet still eliciting caution as we've been inundated with about 15 cm of snow in the past few hours (and it's still coming down ), I rushed home to rip open my pressie.

Coline really kitted me out for future travels: I got a beautiful blue, beaded clutch purse; a kit with four bottles for travel liquids: shampoo, conditioner, etc.; a travel album to fill with pictures and paper souvenirs; tonnes of praline chocolates and nougats as well as a package of calissons, a lovely sweet treat from Provence. And finally a beautiful bracelet with a petite tour d'Eiffel.

Merci beaucoup mon ami. Les dons ont été très gentil. J'espère que nous pourrons à nouveau, plus tôt que plus tard. Pardonnez mes erreurs.  Je seulement viens de terminer mon premier niveau de français dans les années.
Lol :oops: Joyeux Noël et bonne année.


I will post pictures as soon as I get my computer repaired. As of right now I'm posting from my phone.

Dimi:
Σας ευχαριστώ άλλη μια φορά Δημήτρη.  Έχετε κάνει μια καταπληκτική δουλειά που διοργανώνει το μυστικό santa φέτος.  Καλά Χριστούγεννα και ευτυχισμένο ΑΝΑ έτος. I hope that made sense lol
