  • Mine arrived today. :) Thank you Secret Santa for the beautiful framed picture you took from the London, Ontario 2005 show. :D It's awesome I love it. :D One of my all time favorite shows. The Canada tour was such a fun time. I'm also enjoying the cd you sent me as well. Always great hearing new music. Trully one of the best gifts I have ever been given. Thank you :)

    and yea......i knew you loved seattle from your e-mail, but of course, i could not leave out my beloved NY. ;) that and b&w photography were the only 'clues' of yours i used, so i am so happy you love the ornaments! i hope you got a leaf too?! should've been in there.


    damn, pretty fine service from the post....sent it out on the 24th, pretty good! i see some people haven't mailed yet? :eek: i thought helen posted that all pressies needed to be out on the 26th? that's the only reason i got mine out on the 24th b/c i can only get to the post office on saturdays. hmmm. guess it's the teacher still in me, give me directions/deadline...i have to follow. :p haha.


    anyhoooo.....ENJOY!
    i really am so HAPPY you LOVE it all. :cool:


    btw - what investigative skills...you actually took the pics out of the frames and found my signature on the back eh? good job.

    How could I forget the leaf...that leaf is so beautiful. Im actually thinking about using it as a necklace. Gorgeous!!!
    Yes, I did investigate!!! I saw your address on the package and saw 'New York' and your initials and I did wonder whether it was you from that!

    And btw, I LOVE your handwriting!!!!

    THANK YOU!!!! I love my pressies!

    I got some "happy hippy" Lush shower gel which smells SOOOO good! (and funny because I didn't mention it in my email but I LOVE bath/body products!) Can't wait to try it! :D

    Some maple candy--which I also REALLY love maple!

    Some very cool jewelry (btw I LOVE those styles--it is like you can read my mind!) And I love the way the stone feels and looks too! It is all very cool and I can't wait to wear them!

    A Banff sticker

    And, I can't BELIEVE you gave this to me, but a pick from Sir Mike McCready! :eek:! I do promise to love it and keep it safe!

    Thank you so much! You really spoiled me! :D <<<<<HUGS>>>>>

    The sock was out of the wash and the carrot was fresh when I sent them. Did the box look like it had been opened?
    You've changed your place in this world!
  • nfanelnfanel Posts: 2,558
    yay! i just got home and there was a present waiting for me! the box is so pretty - all painted and little christmas designs on the name area....i almost don't want to ruin it by opening it....

    ALMOST!

    ok, can't wait any longer...going to open....will report back in a minute!
  • nfanelnfanel Posts: 2,558
    thank you soooooo much to my austrian secret santa! you are incredibly thoughtful and put a lot of time into putting together this great package!! i love it! :D

    my gift includes:
    -a BEAUTIFUL red candy dish...i love it and it's already displayed on my coffee table!
    -a cute angel keychain
    -cookies, which i am quickly making my way through...sampling one of each, at least. :p
    -a 2008 diary/planner and my SS designed the cover (i'm assuming since it matches the cool packaging)! it's so unique - i love it! and i'm not sure if i was supposed to wait, but i cheated and skimmed through it. my SS left thoughtful little notes throughout the year!
    -a mix cd and movie. the cd is currently loading up in my itunes and i can't wait to listen to it! i love the songs i know on here, so i'm excited to hear the other ones. i have a hunch my SS has fabulous taste in music. :) i can't wait to check out the movie when i can, too!

    oh, and really good smelling little flowers and stuff filling it up!

    thank you SO much! my gift was so thoughtful and creative!
  • nfanelnfanel Posts: 2,558
    ok, i just looked through the planned some more...i was the kid that would unwrap presents and rewrap them b/c i'm such a snoop...but anyhow, my SS revealed herself... so thank you bedface_cooper!!! i'm convinced you are the best secret santa ever! :D
  • :eek: wow, so far everyone went to sooooo much effort :) congrats all, that's fantastic!

    The one I sent out seems so half-arsed compared to all the ones mentioned. Uh-oh.

    Haven't opened mine yet.

  • I've just written my Santa-story :D but it said invalid link?? Well let's try again.
    I just got home and mine was waiting!!! : D
    Now it's sitting in front of me. I'm still resisting.

    I opened it!!!!!!! I swear, it was talking to me. "Open me, come on, open me, you know you want it!" :D

    Best xmas-present EVER! xD

    First I wasn't sure if I should really open it... So I only got rid of the howsitcalledinenglish? wrapping paper, to see that the present was wrapped in lovely gift paper :- ) and there was an envelope, which I of course had to open immediately. Had a hard time with deciphering the "doll" (at least I believe that's what it meant? :p).
    When I finally got convinced by various people to open it because "why not if it has already arrived and why would you wait anyways???" I just did it ; )

    I got a fingerdrum-thingie, which is like one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen :D I'm already annoying my whole family haha. I also _love_ the sweets. And I got small bottle of whisky?! :D I dunno how Santa knew about that (ah well, except for that he knows everything anyways), but that's just brilliant?! : D

    Thanks Santa!
