    Sonja! Thank you so very Much! I almost got everything I asked for!! Thats amazing! And a lot! I got chocolate and lotion and a guitar accessory and something from Ireland and Austria!! I couldn't be any happier! Thank you so much! I REALLY enjoyed reading each fact and learning how Austria celebrates Xmas! Love the ornaments and the chocolate booze!! The snow globe is so cute, I'm taking that one to work. Gonna put it next to the koala I got from i_lov_it!! You put a lot of thought and attention and detail to my gift! THANK YOU!!!  :hugs: :hearts:

    ^^ I love the Kilmt snow globe!  Beautiful! 
    Sonja was my SS a few years ago and she sends wonderful gifts.  (I got some boozy chocolates too.  :giggle: )

    You're so very welcome! :-) 
    I'm so glad it finally made it, even if it's a bit late for the Irish bauble and the other Christmassy (and in case of Krampus and Nikolo pre-Christmassy) stuff. The snowglobe was made in my neighbourhood where usually only wine and herbal soda is produced, so I just had to send you that one.

    The boozy chocolates just need to be a part of every SS gift that goes to a country where alcohol isn't available in every supermarket and from November on on every street corner and every Christmas tree. I need to drag you guys down with us ;)

    That picture does zero justice. It's so colorful and gold and sparkly! We've eaten all the chocolate now. Delicious. One flavor was potent :lol: all very tasty. Could not be any happier with it all. Nothing broke or spilled. Exactly what I wanted! 
    Oh please let it rain today.

    Just checking back after a couple of weeks to see some awesome gifts!

    For those of you saying you haven’t heard from your Santee yet - my SS also didn’t provide a board name so, while I did post pics, I couldn’t thank her in person. I hope she saw my post here!

    Thank you to my secrect santa, Kelly Azzopardi.  I was so excited to see all the beautiful pieces of art she created, and all the little goodies she sent as well.  I truly appreciate the fact that she handcrafted most of the items, she's very talented!  From the magnets, stickers and buttons, the ornaments, sweet treats and baseball with my favorite team logo, Kelly totally outdid herself. I'm even more excited to have made a new PJ friend. :-)

    If you do make it over here, you'll definitely have to let me know! I know good places to be decadent ;) And that one does NOT eat Sachertorte at the Sacher...

    Hmm, something important to remember!  :lol:
    I'd probably be content just to drink some good Viennese coffee.  :coffee:

    Sorry for the delayed post.........I received a beautiful package from oftereading last week. She had messaged me to tell me that the tracking on the package she sent to me in early December showed as "undeliverable". She wasn't sure if the package would be returned to her as it was shipped to the US from Canada......Well, it ended up being sent back to her and we figured out that the address was off by one number. She shipped it out again and I did receive it! Such a nice Gift in January and I am ever thankful! The coffee is delicious and I'm sure I'll be hooked and will have to depend on her to keep sending it to me! Again, thank you for everything oftenreading <3

     Trying to post a pic but not having any luck...........

    Here I am complaining about people not posting their gifts and I haven't put up a picture of mine.



    From Briony, I received beautiful hand carved salad servers, a magnet of the South African flag, and a really cool CD with a mix of music!  When I first looked at the CD I thought maybe I'd be listening to some South African music but the second song was The Who's I Can't Explain!  It's got a great variety of music on it and I've been listening to it in the car for the last few days.  Thank you, Briony, In hot Cape Town--we know a little bit about hot weather in Texas!  :wink:
    @Who Princess Oh, I'm so glad it arrived! Posting from South Africa can be iffy! xxx

    Today, my Secret Santa present arrived, all the way from New York to Cape Town. A gorgeous handmade handbag packed full of treats - chocolates, a Christmas Alice band, a juke box decoration, bracelet and fabulous soap. Best of all - a PJ Spokane magnet. Thank you, Veronica, you're a talented woman! What a treat. And now I have a new friend in New York, too, thanks to Dimi and Pearl Jam xx
