hey there say, zip and lolli...
as to this:
My recipient received their gift on Monday, but no word here yet.
Guess they thought it sucked.
oh my, perhaps, not, be off good cheer, you gifts may still mean
more than you know...
remember, SOME folks may want to be annoymus, and you may
have gotten someone that would only like to be known
to you...so they don't share here...
or--they may not know the words to explain their feelings...
later, you may just get a thank you note...
or--they were not home and another memmber of family
took it in for them...
or they did not open it yet, and have not been on line for
the holiday...
:)
or for some reason, i is late...
:)
i used to fear, i had overstepped or done wrong, sometimes, with surprise
gifts, being that some folks may not be used to such things, so:
i learned this...
life is short and it is better to show we care, in whatever ways we can...
the day will come when folks will understand...
thus:
your recicant will always remember you cared to give from
your heart, this year, as to who you are, and what you'd like
someone to enjoy... you did your best, >:D<
christmas love, lives all year long... some gifts may not hit the mark
right away, but sure enoug, as time moves on, the gift
turns into a treasure in some way...
you both did well!
but back to he one basic thing first--holiday mail overload
(oops, well in YOUR case--a family member may have signed for it):
*most likely, they just did not OPEN the gift yet... :)

hey there say, grover... yep... cheer up and hang in there...
:)
you all did well, :)
many folks wait 'til christmas eve...
many folks find it hard to have computer time, too...
or are just more private as to sharing fun-fan-fare,
or heart-felt things...

Crimpergirl,
I may have made the necklace and the bracelet (yes, the other one is a bracelet - it wraps around your wrist twice), but they are not from me - I was contracted to make those for you by your Secret Santa. I sent you an email letting you know this as I should have written it on my card, but did not think of it.
I was not given permission by your Secret Santa to reveal who it is, so I leave it up to them to do that.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!
Sonya
p.s., Cosmic, I am looking forward to seeing pics of you in that one-of-a-kind tie-dye stopper necklace...!

Hi All- YAY Edge-I hope you like the hammer, I just thought it was so cool... I've been getting into F.A.'s to a small extent, and thought this hammer looked so lovely-and since you do some too, enjoy!!!!
So I just want to mention that I'm driving to CO through the new year (leaving today if I can ever finish overstuffing my clothes bag/as usual/clothes bag is named Big Bertha, and she upsets road trip companions sometimes ;-)), -so I will get to enjoy my Secret Santa gift when I return, as it is not here yet... It will be a great cheerful thing to enjoy after the holidaze... so if you don't see me post up my secret santa, that's why, I will be back from CO & post up around the 5th.
Cheers everyone, love everyone's awesome gifts-so much fun!!!!! Enjoy the daze, holidaze that is... ;-) -Catherine.

Cosmic, I meant seeing you and the necklace in action. You know, "climbing" (I know that term is not used much on this forum, but I figured I'd throw it out there...).

Moms make the rules - but we don't have to live by them. My 20 year old baby has been home two days and is constantly asking about her presents. NO, you must wait till Christmas -
Unless you have been looking at it for days, and it came from your Secret Santa. Santa says I have been a very good girl this year - and the note in my gift box says so. I got a lot of booty. And I can tell that Santa cruised through some of my posts to see what I like.
I gave a favorable review to Petzl Attache biners and viola My husband is always trying to monopolize all of the attaches.
A thoughtful book for those of us that dwell north and have a lot of dark hours to fill
As I said earlier, you can never have enough chocolate.
And these gifts were wrapped in holiday placemats! That's better than recycling paper.
Moonlight was overcome by this wealth of treasures.
Thank-you very much!!!! Phyl is very generous and thoughtful.
Now I can't wait to see my person unwrap their gift!!!! No posts about it yet.

Yay for the Supertopo Secret Santa!
I totally waited too long to say I was in - Procrastinated and then one day I realized people were already probably getting their gifts!
But I am so enjoying seeing everyone's comments and present pics. Such a great tradition on this site!

unexpectedly i
received an engagement proposition
from that blessed mary.
she posts here now and then,
though ya'll most likely haven't
read her stuff cause
they always occur in that little
gap between the prominent intents.
i didn't even thoroughly sign up for this exchange,
so i'm without a reciprocal jesture.
so i talked to my wife about this
gal, who happens to be a renown virgin,
that has asked for my other
hand in maiwage.
we dont know,
for i killed wisdom long ago,
so i guess i'll go down the aisle
once again.
now i need a beast man.
can i tempt some fine suitors with
promise of mary's virginity.
i got no use for that holy hole.
the date is set for december 25,
jesus will be in attendence
though i didn't invite that creep but mary insisted,
i chose the bald cap of lover's leap
for the locale.
the eagles 'll be there.
not the desperado type
but those perchers of absurd nests.
i'll bring beer
and toty's.
