    As I said, just WOW! I received the most beautiful photography book my SS made with PJ quotes for each picture. PJ coasters also made by her. Did I say she is talented!!! DVD of a local rock band, CD of Israeli music and a DVD filled with incredible views of Israel. I was surprised to find how green and lush it is in places there and how popular flash mobs are. Also, a travel water bowl for our dog, ring with music symbols (which is exactly my size), assortment of yummy snacks and candy, "road blessing" keychain, good luck ornament and cool blue scarf. All of this detailed in a two page hand written letter with the loveliest notes and sentiments. Not only did she go item by item in my list of things I like for the SS email she also researched by posts! Just totally amazing! Thank you soooo much again and really hope I get to meet you some day. :)

    Great Big Thank You to Radar, my 2012 Secret Santa.
    The box arrived from Polska in good shape due to the care that was taken in wrapping it.
    Upon opening it the main box had been carefully wrapped inside and out of both the box and the lid, I am keeping the box! Pandora and I had a late PJSS party but enjoyed it just the same, good things come to those who wait.
    Inside the box was a plethora of treats from a distant land that I can only think of visiting someday but now feel apart of Polska. Growing up in Milwaukee I had many friends who were of Poland Heritage so this was also a good bond. First the card was beautiful with a very heartfelt message. The Bootleg CD from Golnia Poland includes some of my favorite songs you can never hear enough.The souvenir coffee mug will be cherished for years and is stunning, the picture does not do the color justice. Same with the chocolate bar, notice the detail, them guys know how to make chocolate Ja Hey! Not to mention the Wodka which was a prime addition and all of Polska descent, I had to open and try all 3 to make sure it was safe :lol: and it was so I let Pandora have a swig too.
    Thanks Again Radar, Dimi was right you are good dog! If you ever make it to Atlanta, the "Wodka" is on me.
    I hope You and You Family have a safe and prosperous year.

    JB was very impressed with the dye sublimation process, beautifully done.
    The artwork so cool, a lovely silk bag made with care.
    I have my mother's pillow tucked in a plastic bag for safe keeping.
    It now will join the family covered in this lovely Pearl Jam silk creation.
    She always loved Pearl Jam, music her only wish at the end of her days.
    Pearl Jam my comfort through her passing and beyond.
    This means much more to me than words can say. Thank you from my heart.

    You should do it, Speedy!

    I followed it for years before I took part. It was always so fun to see people's gifts but the really fun part is trying to choose gifts for someone you don't know. Then reading about how much they liked it!

    I've gotten some awesome gifts from my Secret Santas, but what I really look forward to is shopping for someone else! That, and seeing all the pictures of what everyone else received.! :D
