If I remember correctly I think the person was notified.. then I made a thread about being forgotten (in a nice way) and then the person sent me something at the end of January.

Don't you love it the way they fall all over the place and that they're really difficult to pick up (gotta get the vacuum cleaner out!)

Wouldn't you like to know!

If you do wait until Christmas, I hope you won't be disappointed!

Glad you like it, I had a bit of a struggle thinking what to get and will admit I had a little help with the book

What's wrong with graph paper

Did the paper give it away that it was from me

haha....ya think?


i'm glad my santa person got their gift...and my extra santa got hers too. i did get my exchange with earthy.....beautiful, although sadly one part was broken. :( however, still a beautiful gift!


still waiting on my *real* secret santa...but sure, keeps the suspense/surprise going!

I got mine today! I've only opened the box not the presents. Yet. It would appear so far at least that my Secret Santa wants to stay secret. I say that because on the box it came from S. Santa. There is a card, as yet unopened as well, so I'm not totally sure that is the case. I do know it's from Canada, and it says North Pole, Ontario, so I've got some googling to do as I'm not sure there is such a place. lol Also, there aren't that many Canadians on the list so...:D Anyhow, THANK YOU very much and I'll be sure to post when I open them.

Earthgirl

I still haven't recieved my SS gift either :( I hope it comes soon.

I just wanted to post and say I got the most awesome, I mean awesome, package(actually HUGE box) from my secret Santa!!
My box went out, late, but it has been sent. I kept waiting to send it hoping I'd find some super spectacular thing, and never did :( so I sent what I had.

I'll have to take pics of what I got. I feel very very spoiled!!

ETA I haven't read my card yet so I don't know who sent me the most awesome swap presents ever, but I will and post again with my pictures!!! But for now I want to say THANK YOU sooo much!!!

tachepiranha

Well, me and my big mouth

I was talking trash about my neighbours, I've heard stories about packages being stolen in my bulding, and last friday a note was left on my door, I could pick up with them something that the mailman tried to delivered but he couldn't find me.

So, I have nothing else to say but:

Thanks to my SS, my present is so fucking great, I love it :cool:

So, I just hope to have a nice frame to put it in my room.

You rock Foxy Mop, thanks so much again and have a nice time this holiday season!!

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

Mine does too. :( and compared to what I received I feel pretty sad. I hope the person I sent to likes what I sent.

well i received my santa gift today, and i think there may be a mistake? it looks like i was meant to get 2 $10 giftcards to michaels crafts? there is a 'receipt' in the envelope that says as much, and has some guys name/addy on the top as the purchaser. then, there are 2 different store cards with the giftcards inside each. one has a message preprinted to me and also '$10'....however, the other card has a message to someone named kathy, with a brief message and love l*****..and it says '$50'.....so i would assume this is meant to be someone else's gift?

now, it says that the 'secret' is out in my card, but there really are no 'clues' as to who my santa is. i have a guys real name, and a girls first name in the other card, but don't recognize either....nor any usernames included, so i am at a loss. none the less, santa, whoever you are....let me know b/c i think you may want the $50 gift card back to give to whomever it was intended? let me know. i would've PMed, but as i don't know who you are...i hope you see this.
