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.

I'm SO excited that You love it!!! and I sure hope we meet some day

Hi Pandora,
I'm so pleased that you love your ss gift I'm very touched that you would use the cover for your Mother's pillow and by your warm words. Your JB looks like a sweet fella too. Enjoy the rest of the holiday season!

My poor person is having THE most difficult
Time getting their present! Next time I'll make
sure to FedEx my gifts!! Poor person had been
on the phone with DHL more than any one human
should have to be! Shoot, I'm starting to learn
their names!!! Very disappointed with that company
After all that, all the time I spent shopping for
the supplies to MAKE the major part of it, and then
the little extras, plus all this DHL bullshit, I really
hope my person likes their gift!

All that having been said... Dimitris, you seriously
rock at this, and you obviously sacrificed your own
time to make this happen for all of us, thank you a
zillion times! This has been so much fun! I madea new
friend, and now have an excuse to run off to the
Northwest! Lol thank you again for hosting and
Organizing this this year!

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

Soo glad you liked it !

It was to be seen as an incentive to pack your bags and travel : sometimes just seeing my suitcase and travel stuffs makes me want to hop on the first plane to anywhere .

It was supposed to get to you on the 24th though *sigh*, but that was close I guess ...

I was so happy to be your Secret Santa ! What were the odds ?

Anyway, congrats on your French ! I really loved meeting you last year and I hope we'll get to meet again very soon (and who knows, maybe I'll be the one packing my bags this time !) .

As it is, I had to spend quite some time on the phone with DHL, could you be my Secret Santa ?

I felt sorry for whoever was my secret Santa though, because they sent the parcel super early but DHL stuck their stupid sticky delivery notice at the bottom of my mailbox so it took a few days for me to randomly see it. I immediately scheduled a new delivery online, but it "skipped" from their computers, or so they said, so basically I could see the parcel being stuck somewhere in Marseille and they wouldn't deliver it to me :x .

But it's all good now, finally got someone on the phone and it's being delivered Monday . Fingers crossed !!
