Please post your packages/prezzies from your Secret Santa along with a THANK YOU. You might also want to PM the person with a THANK YOU also in case they don't see it here on the thread.

LOL Found you ! :lol:

Okay sis, now get to showing us what you got to open.
:)

Ok, here's what I got so far.
Still have more to open.
I want to thank EVERYONE who sent me something. You all really didn't have to. I enjoy doing this and don't expect anything in return. EVERYONE outdid themselves in being gracious and Bill, Courtney and I are just amazed at what has been opened so far.

So the pictures begin. Thanks Terri.

I'll post mine in.....hmmmmm...2 hours and 15 minutes

Okay Guys,

It is 10pm here so I will post my thank you to my secret santa..... Michelle McGarvey. Michelle sent 2 blue and two purple fat quarters that are just lovely, a quilted ornament that will be going on the tree when we put it up tomorrow and a beautiful Jim Shore angel ornament.... which I have never seen in the UK. I will post a picture later when the camera battery has charged (I always forget to charge the darn thing).

Michelle thank you!

Hugs

Jim Shore has some wonderful things. I had never heard of him either until last year when Sharon b was my Secret Santa and she sent me one. :) Can't wait to see your pictures!!

Only 2 hours to go!!!

Can't post pics but I sure want to thank Veronica (Short and Sweet) for all the great things she sent . I never expected so much,But it was like she was inside my head and had a secret look at my wish list.Thanks again and I hope you and yours have a very blessed Christmas season. Big Hugs Nana Katie

You want more pictures?

Thank you to Abonda, Linda Dugas (ljdugas31) and Starshine
Starshine even tried to pay me off with a Virginia State Quarter so she can remain on the Nice List. lmao

The little wooden box (from ljdugas31) which you really can't see all that well is really cute! She had everything tucked neatly in there. Will make a nice little holder for little scraps in my room :)

Ewww... fun fabrics from Abonda! I like those. :-D

For anyone that is online I am in NV and it is 2:25pm here. How much longer do I have to wait??

thanks

There are fun fabrics coming all over the place!
Hubby just came running in because I squealed opening this one from Lindyline in Australia. It's really cute. There's a holder for my quilting things and she even stuffed the pockets with little things too! There's an Australian Woman's Diary that hubby is looking at right now and laughing. There's even a tote you can see or can't see it too well because it's on the back of the chair that's really cute too! There's a quilting magazine and if you look closely, you will see a cute little pincushion and Santa ornament.

Here's a tote and it's full of really nice goodies from Short and Sweet. I love it! Will be nice for my embroidery that I bring back and forth with me to Lauren's and I won't lose anything out of it. And the cute angel in there. Love it!

Here's what is from rejenea with some pretties in a nice red velvet box! Courtney has just put dibs in on the box and 3 of the pieces of fabric. She's NOT getting the blue and white piece. That will go perfect with the pieces I am saving for my blue/yellow/white quilt that I will make sooner or later.

I'm telling you....you ladies have been very generous to me and I really don't deserve it, but I'm glad you did!!

re the box from ljdugas 31 --- I'm a box kind of girl. now I have box envy.

You will open at 4pm. That is the same as 7pm EST.

I won't be able to open mine until Wednesday :( I will post a photo and my thanks then!!

It is a very nice wooden box. If you look closely, you can see the spool of thread and needle on it. :)

oh YEAH!!! omg. I've just crossed over from envy to covet. it's Beeautiful....

<hoping sewTinker doesn't have my addy and if she does, box needs to be well hidden>

I'm afraid she might have it. Better find a safe place for it. LOL

Updated Photo!!

pressie, check.
scissors, check.
chocolate, check.
Wine! check.

Here's more!
Ladies, you are outdoing yourself. I'm estatic!
This is just too cute!

Here's a needle case from Mrs B in Australia. I tried to get a good pic of the poem, but it didn't come out. The poem says...The Needle Case
This needle case made specially for you
to keep all the notions
for the sewing you do
So fill it with needles
and fill it with pins
Slip in your scissors and odds and ends
Then you'll be ready
to put in some stitches
On your quilts or your bags
or even your britches
~Mary~

Sew Tinker...You know how to get ready!

yes, terri. My letter to santa will say something to the effect of... "please bring me terri's sewing box." *Poof*

before the craziness really begins, I do want to thank you for coordinating this. You did a super job. A thing I would never want to take on. Thanks so much. Some of us are rather isolated, and take pleasure in the community of this board. xoxo

holding at 30 min

so... when the hour strikes, do we jump into the chat room? or do we do our postings here?

Here's from Nellie Diaz and Cheryl W.

Some nice warm socks..thanks Cheryl, my feet are a bit cold. But, look at the Quilting Bee by Jim Shore! I've never seen that one! Some candy bars wrapped in the old time wrappers, haven't seen those either and a cute little pin with spools of thread!

From Nellie, a nice tapestry tote and some cute patterns for a tote bag and a table runner and some Pounce. Have never used it, so I guess since I now have some, I will give it a try!

Thanks sooo much!

Wow! I can't believe how nice everyone is and what wonderful gifts they sent you. You are one lucky woman!

I agree! I'm still opening! I think I'm going to be opening for the rest of the night!

That is the CUTEST needlecase I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!! :D

thank you Terri for hosting. You did a great job. Enjoy all your pressies. Have a Blessed Christmas.

So glad you liked them. Jim Shore is a feddish of mine right now. I'm always wanting to go to Hallmark....heehee

Okay...31 mins left until I can open my box....YAY!!!!

Ok, I'm opening 3 at a time, because I can only post 3 pics at a time and I'm too lazy to use Photobucket. lol

Here's from Mish, Maine Ladybug and from someone who didn't put their name, just a postmark of Houston, TX

The one that is just postmarked Houston has a nice little change purse that I adore. Courtney is trying to snatch it, but I have a sharp knife! lol

From Mish...another Jim Shore, which I love and a little sewing machine charm.

From Maine Ladybug, a nice Thimbleberries calender and it was wrapped in that yummy piece of fabric!

Too Funny!! Guess I better go get my wine too, I just bought some yesterday.

Wow! I just opened mine from Jim's Gem (Gayle). She sent me 10 gorgeous floral fat quarters, two packages of chocolate bars (one milk, one dark), a really cool Chenille cutter and a magnetic note pad for the fridge. Also a beautiful card that reminds me of the reason for the season. Thank you so much, Gayle

OMG - my Secret Santa was fabulous. I received so many wonderful items. Wanderingcreek was the best secret santa. I received lovely Hoffman Fabrics - my favorite, a book for making fast and easy bowls, beautiful handmade coasters with matching potholders, a notebook, cookies and candies, a desk set with key chair, a cute spool charm, darling cheep talk charm squares, 3 patterns, 2 cup holders, trivia time desk calendar and a lovely handmade tote bag. My secret santa was WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much. I'm not sure how I will decide which project to start on first.

Terri....YAY...You opened up my pressie....Glad you like the Jim Shore ornament. Merry Christmas Sweetie and a "BIG THANK YOU" for hosting this Secret Santa 2010!! :thumbup:

Thank you so much eimay!

I tried to get everything in one picture so things are kinda squished everythingh up.

In the back is an apron with a santa on it, a button box, matching snowflake pen and pad, holiday napkins, a pattern for a scrappy quilt and batic wall quilt, a super simple sweatchirt jacket and some twilight woods hand sanitizer. Who says Christmas is for the little kids. I couldn't be happier. :-D

Oh did I mention fabric. eimay sent fabric for all seasons and then some. Bolds, brights, florals, abstracts and down right beautifull.

Lost the pix. Be right back.

Many thanks for all the wonderful gifts. Thank you Quilterella!
