Ok so people are dropping me just so they can run to a craft table??? Where is the love I ask??? Then people are trying to hush me up??? Sam??? Where is the love I ask???? But y'all do notice one thing right??? I did NOT end up in the naughty corner. hahahahahaha
I know I already posted a thank you to my awesome Santa Ashdale, however, I need to post another thank you. Thank you Girlie Girl for the awesome thank you gift. Girlie Girl sent me a $10 gift card to Joanns to say thank you for hosting the Santa swap. This was so very sweet of you to do. I now have enough to go and buy the spellbinders I want. Yay!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!
I am so glad you like your gift. I just wanted to do a little something for you. I read how excited you were about JoAnn's opening so I thought you would like it. Enjoy!!!!
Now I am just waiting to hear from my elf when her package arrives...should be any day now!
Received my pressie yesterday from terrie.mcnulty!! Thank you SOOOO much! I am beyond thrilled with the punches (one of my FAVE craft items!), stamps and doilies!
I am also posting an apology! I didn't realize there was a date we were supposed to have it sent by - hadn't read the original message in a long time and haven't been on SCS for a while... My SS recipient's gift went in the mail today - it shouldn't take too long - she lives quite close to me!
Here I am Pam: OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!Girlie Girl you out did yourself. You're an Angel, I have never received such a nice gift - -EVER! At least from someone I don't know and best of all it arrived on my birthday....so much for having the blues * not any more. You went crazy girl, I love love love EVERYTHING!! The tote the gifts came in is awesome, so perfect for hauling my stuff around. There was a little something in every pocket...clever. I received a Starbucks gift card and a SB mug (which I needed desperately), lots of Tim Holtz goodies, amazing ribbon, bling, chipboard embellies, a handmade necklace I love. I'm sure I have left something out and the tote is downstairs under the tree but I will take pics tomorrow so I can brag more about my wonderful Elf.
Like I said Pam, you are an Angel. Big Hugs and love coming your way. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'm so glad you are happy with it. When I saw your wish list, I actually wrote to our host privately and asked if I could have you for my elf. I knew I wanted to get you the bird punch with matching stamp set. I love that combination!
Happy holidays!
Terrie

So now you know exactly how I felt when I got your gift! I can't tell you how excited I was when I found out that we got each others names in the swap. I was so happy to get to spoil you too. I am so glad that you liked everything. I had a blast shopping for you. The bag is from 31 Gifts (in case you haven't heard of them, they are the bomb) and is one of my favorite bags for storing my crafts.
Happy Happy Happy Birthday! I wish I could say that I planned it this way but I guess there was a little intervention. (((Hugs)))

Oh too cute, I was taking my cup into the kitchen to wash so I could use it and something was shaking inside ( I thought it was the instructions for safe use and washing) but nope it was more treats...sweet treats. What a perfect way to end a perfect day. Thank you again Pam. I was giggling all the way to the kitchen.
I haven't seen my little elf on for a while and I'm really wanting to know if she got her package!!! I'm just really worried she didn't like it!!! Although I did follow her list pretty good......okay.....patience....I can have patience....I mean, how hard can it be to be patient?? Really hard........lol
Yvonne, I pm'd you about your Elf. Darlene, Joan did get it...she said she isn't opening it until Christmas. lol...I can't believe she can wait....I couldn't. I couldn't open mine fast enough...lol...but then again I am worse than any kid ever. lol

Oh, what a relief!! Thanks for letting me know! That's our Joan, always surprising us!
Joan, you can open the brown cardboard box, there is another Christmas box inside with your goodies inside of that! May be prettier under your tree that way.
Happy Birthday, Lulu and wow yes, you did get neat things. Everyone is getting neat things. I can't wait until I can come on and say what I got. Love, hugs and prayers=grandmajudy
Thank you grandmajudy for the birthday wish. And yes I did get spoiled, I'm sure you will too. Hope your pressie comes soon. Also my friend wants me to say 'thank you' for all the cards you have sent her. She says it's incredible that there are people who care enough to do this for others and that she appreciates it so much and she does feel the love and prayers that go along with it. Thank you again. Prayers and Hugs back to you.
[QUOTE=samswindle;18997167]Angie!!! I'm so glad you liked your package. I had so much fun shopping and crafting for you!!! It was tons of fun!! Hope you like the bling!!!!
Now for my news:
I just got home from Birmingham where I went for my sister's baby shower. When I got home there was this package on the front porch. I was so excited!! I picked it up to see who my SS was, and wouldn't you it, she didn't put her return address on the outside!!! Tricky!!!!
So I had to open it up and let me tell you it was taped up like no one was supposed to open it!!! But I prevailed!!!
Hi Sam! I'm so glad you enjoyed your package - especially with the miserable doctor appointment week you had! Sorry it took me so long to acknowledge your lovely post - I had no internet for a week and it was AWFUL - I felt like I had been banished to some remote place where I had no friends to talk to! Yeah (tee hee) I thought the self return address was pretty damn clever and YES my family thinks I need to take it easy with the packing tape :-) And remember the commercial a couple years ago where the girl was christmas shopping and would buy "one for this person and one for me". I bought myself the body lotion too - I thought it was so nice. :-)
Now on this end of the swap - I've received a MAGNIFICENT package from my SS and I will be home tomorrow (finally!) and I'm not posting who she is or what I received until I can do it all justice. So stay tuned so I can share my list with all of you and finally REVEAL ! :-)
Hi ladies!!! My 3rd round Pin swap is going great, but I would like to add more people to the card spots of my swap. You simply make a set of cards with Hat Pins as embellishments.
As incentive, I'm going to give everyone who adds a card spot by Christmas EXTRA PRIZES!!!!!!!!!! Come on over and check it out--it's in my siggy!!! Thanks!

Good evening, I couldn't understand why no one was talking in detail about their gifts. Duh, I finally read the complete threads(sorry Dani, what can I say).
Here we go again, I received my gift and my Secret Mischievous Santa is DARLENE WINNETT. She totally shocked me, bugt I love every second of it.
She told me to open the box, I didn't want too, oh, the box is so pretty. Maybe, I will take a picture of the box. Remember, I'm not going to open the box.

My Santa was Amy - Slashdog1. She spoiled me WOW! In my package I got some green tea with peach, a clear block for stamps, 2 packages of foam adhesives, an owl stamp from icing, flower and lace trim, a bag of flowers, ribbon, twine, rhinestones, 3 bottles of liquid pearls, a paper craft magazine and CHOCOLATE!!!! a M&M tube.
Thank you thank you thank you. I already have many ideas for my stash!
PinkGeek-Thank you sooo much for my package...it was just perfect. I got some new IRocks....a big container of them even!! Yippee!! and some adhesive and some peace sign button-Love 'em! and the VW bug Button-Awesome!! the cutest card! I just love everything in there...you did a great job and I hope you enjoyed the shopping. I even saved the peace sign wrapping paper...going to have to use that on something too!
My Secret Santa was Aunt Angie and she really spoiled me. I got a pile of coal (dark chocolate with marshmellow inside), a pkgs of 6 chocolate covered marshmellows (I had one for breakfast), the prettiest Christmas card in purples, vintage sepia inkpad and love the shade of it, a jar of flowers from Oriental Trading (I really like theirs and these are sooo pretty), green alphabet stickers, puffalicious sports stickers, puffy love, dream stickers, month stickers, pillow spring/summer stickers, cutest flexible fish stickers, 2 pkgs of pretty rhinestone blings, beautiful swirl burst brads, really pretty adhesive rhinestones (never saw any that came on a roll before), 5 pkgs of pti cardstock and they are the prettiest shades (Angie you said you are trying pti and sure hope you like them - they are who I always get my cardstock from cuz I love it from there) and the best for last. Angie made me the most beautiful Christmas scrapbook I can't wait to fill. It is absolutely fantastic. Going to go play with me new crafts now. I have 2 boys with cancer to make cards for and going to use some new cardstock and the sports stickers. Angie, you are the best Santa ever and I thank you with all my heat. I absoutely love everything. Love, hugs and prayers=grandmajudy
Wow ladies great job on the thank yous. And boy it sounds like y'all did get spoiled. I hope you each had fun not only opening your gifts but finding out who your secret Santa was too. I want to thank you all for participating and helping to make this swap a successful one. I still have a few more elf's that are waiting for packages. Be patient little elfs...remember...good things come to those who wait. hehehe.....
I've had so much fun finely reading all the posts here!! Anticipation is a good thing - and I am looking forward to getting my package - and for my elf to receive hers too!! Love the pictures, please keep them coming!!
After a long busy day at work I came home to my secret santa box. Thank you to Marilyn for all my goodies. I am going to enjoy each and everything thing. I also like how you wrapped each gift with ribbon that I can use again. I thought the card you made was the cutest thing and I like the stationary cover you made.
Ok here is what I got. An altered stationary pad, cards with a snowman cut out, Tim Holtz's rays and retro circles set embossing folders, Tim Holtz's artful muse set of folders, a snowman ornament, and a tin full of my favorite reese's peanut butter cups, as well as each thing was wrapped and tied with ribbon that I can re-use. The card she made has the cutest snowman that she made with an embossing folder.
I am so glad that your package arrived Angela. Must admit that choosing TH's embossing folders took me awhile since i was not familiar with this style!! So glad that you said that your liked the PB cups!!
A VERY BIG thank you to my Secret Santa, Sheng! There was some confusion because I misread your signature and thought it said Sherry, which totally confused Dani when I asked her about it! And since I thought the card said Sherry, I didn't realize that was her SCS name! I'm so sorry!! I got lots of wonderful things: bunches of stamps, ink spots, cards & envelopes, SU! paper! Thank you so much Sheng!
