Sorry I missed opening day but with the time difference and other things on I couldn't make it like I had hoped to. I have just opened my amazing secret Santa package from RebaQuilts, I will upload some photos shortly to share the wonderful gifts I received. Thankyou so much

You are right, bullock2us was your person.

Thank you to Carolinepaj for a wonderful gift! I opened it yesterday after work and it cheered me up. I loved the package that was put together for me and it contained my favourite designer Tula Pink! I especially want to say thank you for filling it with shinies to pay me back for last year haha

OM goodness... I missed opening day. I will go open right now.

WOW. My package made me cry. It was thoughtful and me to a T. The Americana Sampler book is amazing and the fact that you made squares makes it even more special. Everything is perfect. Thank you JustStitchin. Merry Christmas.

Good Evening!
I missed opening night because of my work schedule and I am new and in training so I cannot miss any time yet. My package arrived a few weeks ago from Hav4boys. My husband watched me as I opened my box with excitement, and had to help me with his knife as the package was so strong.
OM MY GOODNESS! I was so surprised as the box was filled to the top. I got so many wonderful gifts, and my most wanted item a thread holder! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THAT❤️❤️Other items were 2 seam rippers and 1 was a very unique seam ripper (love it), a pair of scissors( really needed these), 4 different kinds of M & M’s (which are my favorite candy I will hide those), a new booklet to teach me how to PP (awesome!) a ton of fabric!, and OH MY GOSH some Antique Aunt Grace Scrap Bag Fabrics ( I am just tickled over these) 2 handmade Christmas Ornaments 1 is a stocking with a candy cane and the other is Santa Clause, and a beautiful Christmas Card!
Kathy I want to “Thank You” so much for your generosity and kindness in my Secret Santa Package. I loved everything you made and sent me. This helped me so much you have no idea how much it touched me.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Sorry I missed the opening date.
I received my package but am waiting to open mine as my partner has not received hers yet (turns out we were swapping with each other by the address on the package). i also ordered from a shop in California for somethings to be delivered and I got a confirmation on Monday that they had sent them so I hope they have turned up.

Shinies!!!!!
 

Hi Rachel,

My mother used to say... everything comes to those who wait.... and I have been waiting to get you since all those shines fell all over my floor last year!!!!!! Revenge mawaaahaha!

Glad you enjoyed the package and I am pleased the fabrics got to you too!

Hugs

Caroline

You have a good memory! I would hate to get on the wrong side of you haha...

I haven't seen my secret pal on here so I hope she has managed to open her gift by now- the tracking said it reached her. I will pop her a message to make sure

My secret pal from Ireland was clever and orderd fabric from a place in my state. Thank you LindaC for the wonderful fabrics and nail file. Very kind of you. Now to plan some fun projects.

I missed opening day, things have been crazy & stressful. I did open and snap a few pictures- then put it all back haphazardly in the box where it is sitting on my ironing board waiting ever so patiently for me to have time to really appreciate it I know I love everything! And am so grateful for the thoughtfulness. It is especially wonderful during all that’s going on.
I am hoping to have a little ( me time) in my sewing room Sunday- will see what happens.

Looks like everyone got lts of goodies this year. Yeah!!! Enjoy. I am still waiting for my SS pkg.

Glad you liked everything in your package. I had to look at the pictures as I couldn't remember all that I put in the box. I had fun putting little things in that brown box. Thought it was cute and I even bought one for myself. I love the little Amish stores around here. I can find things for great prices.

HUGS!!!

Just so my Secret Santa knows- I am not opening my package until Christmas. I just don't want them to be upset because they haven't got a thank you yet. Although thank you for it even though I haven't opened it yet.

I love the box! It is such a wonderful size and was so full of great things. I needed a new Purple Thang- and always need a new, sharp seam ripper. I had cut my tape measure in half ( well cut off 15” of it by accident) so definitely needed that. Everything was perfect!

To my pal, the last item I ordered finally showed up and box 2 is on the way to you for delivery early next week!

I finally opened my lovely package from Wenot. She put me to shame with her lovelies in the box. I totally forgot when we were supposed to open and being a healthcare worker, I've been too busy to login and look. Finally did and realized I was well past the date!

She sent me the mostly lovely wrapping paper wrapped gifts. I've never seen wrapping paper that was like mylar coated. Super cool. Also I'm totally a blue/silver Christmas kind of person so the paper colors and ribbons made me happy.

I got some really pretty and quality fabric fat quarters folded into a tree and a star. My bf already confiscated one of them that had skulls. We really are kind of weird redneck goth kind of people. Lol. Outdoorsy meets addams family.

She made me a super cute stocking and some oven hot pads that also includes that skull fabric in some of the pieces. So my bf also confiscated the stocking. The stocking included some chocolate which we haven't sampled yet but I'm sure is amazing because I've never had bad chocolate from overseas. To be frank I've rarely has bad chocolate from anywhere lol. Also sent some binder clips, which is funny because I was totally going to send HER some but I couldn't get any in time.
I collect shot glasses and she sent me a little one that would be great for dessert wines or something that's more for slow sipping. I definitely don't have one like it yet. Also some of what I assume is soaps, my bf tried to convince me is candy but he wouldn't try and lick one to prove it 😂. There is also a panel fabric that has deer and bunnies which is truly fitting for where I live in the woods and that we raise rabbits.

Anyways, love it all. Tortured some of my animals with the bows. Now if I can keep my bf from stealing all of it. Lol

MFay sent me a box all the way from Australia as she took pity on me for missing out in getting signed up on here. Love the Parker pretzels--have never heard of the brand but they were delicious as were the chocolate cookies called TimTam ( another brand I never heard). The cookies arent completely gone yet but probably very soon. She also included a box of Mint flavored Hot Chocolate (love mint and chocolate) which I havent tried yet but will soon. also a new rotary cutter, five FQ's in shades of blue (one with owls on it), a handmade paper pieced Santa with a bell on the tip of his hat --not sure if potholder(probably not with the bell), mug rug or just ornament. Too pretty to use for anything mundane as a mug rug so will hang him up to be admired.
Also rec'd a group of 4 lithographs by Currier and Ives--need to find some frames for them. thanks again M-Fay.

Loved every minute of doing that for you. Hope you have a very happy Christmas and a healthy 2021

Looks like everyone got great gifts this year. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2021. Lets hope it is way better than 2020. You all have great holidays and stay safe and healthy out there.

As I was cleaning up lunch, hubby brought up the mail. There was a big envelop with something in it but it said do not open till Christmas. I did not expect anything as far as I knew everything had come in from the different swaps. I noticed it was from LindaC. She send something in addition to everything she already send. Thank you Linda! I will be good, or try, and wait till Christmas. Always fun to get something you do not know what it is.

Re: Thank you for being my secret pal 2020

@ Quiltingdragon I just saw this after I had just sent you a message!! I will keep my eyes open, thank you! What you sent was already more than enough, loved and appreciated :)

I'm glad all packages have been delivered. Was a bit of touch and go there for a bit.
We have a great group who participate every year and I hope we can keep it going for more years to come.
I really do enjoy hosting this and love seeing all the lovelys that everyone gets.

Merry Christmas everyone and I hope that you all have a great holiday and a Happy New Year!!

HUGS TO ALL!!

Rachel,
Sorry I have not be on but my internet is hit or miss. I loved everything that I received, I did get the PM and responded. I took part of the zoom that quiltingdragon set up wished you could have joined but maybe next time, hope that you had a Merry Christmas and hope you have an awesome New years and stay safe and healthy.

Inquiring minds new to the group would like to know if there will be a SS swap this year and if so when will sign ups start? I will be traveling in Aug and do not want to miss it!

Looks like the sign up starts around beginning of August until second week in October.
