Bluechicken was my Secret Santa! I had no idea, until I opened the card.
Here are my FQ, love getting material from New Zealand! :-D :-D , and my hand lotion that smells so good, and the soaps wow, do they smell good also! and my diary, with pictures of New Zealand!1 I love all of it! thanks so much , Blue!!

I keep trying to post pics and it is not working as easily as it used to do.

Here are my lovlies from tslowery - Thanks so much Teresa.

The Russell Stover candy is missing from the 1 pic because I was munching on it - and forgot.....

Amma, you're exactly right...just look at how much thought was put into these gifts. I just have to post another picture.

This is the Christmas card from Patti Hudson, aka "Littlehud" along with the box of "cookies' for Whimsey & Doodle. Look at the doggy on the card and look at the doggy on the box of treats! lol!! So cute! And yes, if you haven't seen my doggies, they are white too. Thanks again, Patti!!

Sorry...forgot to attach the picture. :(

Was booted trying to attach pics. Have to go to Christmas program will post later. D

Yes.......... even the little Froggie, however I was unsure about opening that box, I really didn't know what to expect, I didn't think it was body parts but it could have been something like chocolate covered worms. Thanks again

This has been such an awesome experience!

Getting such a personalised gift from someone I've never met is quite bizarre! LOL Tippy was my SS, she's amazing :-)

I got stunning fabric, I love butterflys. The zig zag fabric at the top is going to go perfectly with a fabric I've put away somewhere because nothing seemed to go with it, funny that the perfect match comes all the way from America!
And an awesome bag that will hold my hand sewing stuff so I don't have it all over the place, and beautiful butterfly note cards, and a quilting journal, a gorgeous thimble, and a chicken! lol
And a gorgeous mini quilt with the tiniest little hand quilting stitches. I wish I could do that!

My original plan was to get fat quarters that all matched... then I figured something unique was better, something you can't get where you are. :-)
Then I just got carried away with national pride! LOL

Hey Blue

Don't keep me in suspense who was your SS partner LOL.

Tisha

Oops! lol

It was Tippy.... she's amazing! :-)

It seems there are some really sneaky Santa's here! I have never seen so many fat quarters in one place in my life!! :)

Thank you seems so inadequate, but THANK YOU so much, this means more than you will ever know! :)

As you will see in the picture, Jazz checked everything out too! :)

Thank you again my friends. :)

thank you for a lovly time at the SS party I love my gifts

OHHHHHH............ I got CW FQ's and the Civil War Diary Quilt book, large eye needles ( I hand quilt I wonder if sewjoyce knew that) something called thread heaven not sure what it is I didn't open it yet and drum roll please................ a frog sitting on a lilli pad.

I did good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a good girl and waited.

My SS partner was one of my very special friends Elle - Butterflyspain.
Here's what she sent to me - she knows me so well bless her.

Wishing all my friends here on the board A Very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year.

Tisha xx

Tabby1957 was my SS and I love the goodies I got! The box was packed full. Thank you so much for making me very happy this Christmas. I have had fun reading post, lots of laughs!
MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone. :D

OK, I have been such a good little mouse, maybe I will get this right the first time. (pic, I mean)
My SS was Deb McD. and she just spoilt the Mousie something awesome/wonderful!
I got a wonderful book, candy that is already gone...lol, luscious batik FQ's in the yummiest colors, needles, some embroidery floss, lovely pearl headed pins, (I love those! ;) ),
ewww, what's next...slurp! a cute little plaid stocking held the pins and needles...she wrapped gifts in more fabric...a tiara fitting for a Princess Mousie, like moi! lol! :), and a beee-u-tiful wall hanging that she made.
She tied everything with pretty ribbons and it was just so much fun to dig in and look at all the lovelies. Thank you so much, Deb.
This swap has been a hoot, and I hope everyone enjoyed the cookies. The fudge and stuff was great, and the company was hilarious. Even got to see Chris' treadle legs! ;) Thanks, Shadow, thanks Terri. Thanks Moonpi.

I also got a Squishy from a lovely lady>>>trupeach.
We have been friends from right after she joined the board.
She has a true whacked sense of humor like Mousie's. I love it.
She sent me some Christmasy, is it white fleecey fabric...the kind you can put things on, and it looks like snow...aww, she didn't want the mouse to be too hot while everyone else in the country is freezing their buns off! :twisted: j/j y'all. sorry your weather sucks lemons.
Here's some Florida sunshine 8-)
She also sent some lovely fabric that got caught in a Mousetrap :shock:
...but that's one less trap floating around out there...come here ya little rascal, I gotcha! You won't be snagging this mouse's tail! :wink:
Peachy, I loved it all, and thank you for letting me open before the big rush/commotion was on. Mousie mighta lost her mousemarbles :roll:
You tie one pretty bow, too. Your such a sweet peach, peachy! :D

Kim

What a lovely selection of goodies you have there I love your Chicken Pincushion pattern you've got to make him up & then post a pic.
Merry Christmas

Tisha

Thank you so much, Tisha.
I am way so much impressed with the goodies you sent me. Since this is my frst attempt to join in the SS and had no idea this goes as gorgeous as what I have found on this thread.
Thank you very much, Tisha. I will definately try the chicken casserole.

panda

I really enjoyed looking at all the goodies! Will have to join in next year!

Panda

So pleased you likey likey LOL. Let me know which one of the casserole mixes you prefer & I can send you more.
Pleased you also liked the other things too.
Merry Christmas my friend.

Tisha xx

PS I want to see that cross stitch table cloth completed by the New Year LOL.

here's more pics...

Tisha, this will be the first attempt for me to try on the cross stitch, I mean a decent patterns to go with.LOL
Wonder which "New Year" it will be finished.

As for the casserole, should I add in some cream or sour cream in it? I could not resist to fix one after we talked about it in the chat room and the I tried it searching for the recipe wondering if it was the real "Chicken casserole" what you always get from the recipe. It was yummy,too, but need to fix one with your seasonings right away!!

LOL Panda

This New Year coming LOL - off you go now LOL, get that needle working .

No Panda nothing other than mixing water as per the directions on the reverse of the packet. They are all different mixes all 3 of them so be careful not to use more than one at a time.
Let me know how you get on, if you want any help PM me.

Tisha

Thanks to Donna(3incollege) for everything..You did way too much..I just love everything!

I do not have my camera with me right now so pics will have to wait till I get home after the 22nd. BUt I got such nice things, A tea cup and special flavored teas. I love tea. I also love the material that says Canada on it along with the nice pack of fat quarters. Oh and ofcourse the candy---yum yum. Oh and most of all the beautiful table runner my ss made for me. I ove those fabrics. Love the tote bag too. I promise to post pics when I get home. But sadly I do not know who she is---no note. All I know is that they are from Canada. Please let me know who you are.

Thanks,
Cajun

Everyone got such great gifts!!!
I love all the variety and neat little things you SS thought to throw in.

Somehow this one got overlooked and it is so precious...can't wait for my wee grbaby mousie, who is six, to see this. She has one too, and now we can show her granddaddy who really reigns around here! :)

thank you crickett i will post later i have a special tea for my pot it is huckleb erry and verything else my snowman i forgot earlier the fqsof course the tea pot and the home made gadget to keep bindings on and all the patterns

My Secret Santa gift is just wonderful! The Asian fabrics were just what I was wanting -- and there was a pack of needles and thread which was the perfect color.

I also received the beautiful photography cards (one is a duck!)!!! I absolutely love them -- and I'm not so sure I would want to ever use them! :shock: But the best part was the Downy Woodpecker card with a pattern made from that photo!!!! It's amazing looking.

I just don't know who this wonderful person is. The box and everything is from "SM Creations" in Lincoln, VT. I would love to know who to thank. Thank you, thank you, whoever you may be.
