I got a beautiful christmas advent candle and absolutely loved it, so much so I couldn't bring myself to burn it :), I would love to know who it was.
Briggs Girl I loved picking those books, I loved the covers on them so much, I hope that you and DH cook up a few of the cakes, mmmm.
Antheia - my DH had your DH - he had a lot of fun going through Borders and looking at all the history books - glad your DH liked it!
Synchronicity, I know I already said my DH had yours, but when I got given the SS assignment, I had a good laugh :):D
I have no idea who my SS was but my decorations are just beautiful. Thank you!! Hot pink is my favourite colour too, so the reindeer has a front row seat :D
My DS had your DS Nettie. I'm glad he liked them. I had to hide the Wiggles book from DS cause he loves them too!:
Thanks mrsmac. Erin made excellent choices! :) The Christmas book is just perfect. DD has only just started receiving her own books rather than hand me downs and the hairclip is just so beautiful and Amelia can use it straight away because she has so much long hair already.:
As for me, DS got two awesome all time classic books which DH & I have had to read to him multiple times a day. :) The kids opened their presents earlier in the week. As instructed, I opened my pressie today and had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw that my SS had sent me a Pandora bead for my bracelet. I was really not expecting that at all. And it's a perfect choice - a little sleigh full of gifts! I love it! Feel free to reveal so I can thank you again!
Eluned - I was your SS. I thought the bead was so cute! and the instructions came from DH - he had a lot of fun writing that!
Dark Dreamer - yep, DH is very clear that its any AFL team as long as its Carlton :)
Thanks Chris, it is just perfect!:
Thank you so much to our secret santa's especially whoever had DS, he was spoilt with playdoh, a Thomas t-shirt and a beautiful Disney book, he loved it all and I was so touched by all the pressies. I have a feeling divvy might of had him?
Anyway, a very big thank u to you both :)
We've been drooling over recipes today trying to decide which one to try first! given we have the KA and an oven that works, OMG, this could be awesome (and very bad on the waistline of everyone around me!):
ezymay glad you liked darl xxxxx
i received an awesome Womens Weekly Classic Cakes cookbook... PERFECT!!! love it, and a christmas star ornament
thanks to my SS xx
I got George Negus' book 'The world from Down Under: A chat with recent history' and I love it! The card that my SS included with it said they thought it would suit my ethical side LOL. I'd love to know who it was.
Thank you, thank you, thankyou to all our SS's...you all did a wonderful job :)
I got a gorgeous necklace ( I already know who that was from...thank you lovely lady).
Sarah got a yummy smelling candle, pencil case (which she said is "perfect") and a key ring that she has attached to her phone.
Mitchell got some cool t-shirts (which fit perfect) and a football...he couldn't be happier :)
Jack got a set of Mr. Potato Heads, which was pretty much the only Toy Story character he hadn't gotten off us or Santa. He ran around the house with the box..."Tato Head, Tato Head, I lub you Tato Head" Was too funny!!!
Awesome Xmas!!!!!
Antheia, I had your DS, glad he liked his back hoe toy, my DS picked it for him :)
Thank you again. It really is perfect! LOL @ the instructions. I even emailed Santa back asking if he thought I could take it out of the express post envelope cause I wasn't sure if it was wrapped inside and Santa said no! DH thought my charm was pretty cool as well and jokingly commented that I had a secret lover sending me jewellery. :rofl::
Marlene, my DD had Sarah. We are glad she liked her present! I was a bit worried about it being the right brand and colours and all that stuff that teenagers like ;):
Marlene - my DS had your DS. Glad he liked the T-shirts and the ball!
Thankyou to our Secret Santas.
DD loves her blocks. Her face lights up whenever she picks up the one that crinkles.
The scrapbook album is perfect. The only problem I have is deciding which photos to put in it. And I LOVE the wool and look forward to crocheting one of the hats in the awesome pattern book you sent.
I'd love to know who you are if you feel like revealing yourselves.
Thanks so much for mine & Carmelo's pressies!!!
Delphmoon - I know it was you as when I received it and saw the address on the back, it took me a few minutes to figure out why it was familiar.... because it was where I had sent my Secret Santa pressie a few days previous :rofl: So funny we got each other! :lol:
And for Carmelo's giggling Giraffe... PERFECT choice! He loves it, it makes him laugh when he hears it, so we're pushing the giraffes belly all of the tiime :D
I'd love for you to reveal :)
Div - Carmelo had Master A :D
So glad he liked the Dragonology book... I was worried he may have had it already being a Dragon lover! As soon as I got his assignment I knew what I was getting (Luke has one) ... went to everybook shop and they were out, but managed to order it through a friends bookshop and got it in time! So glad he likes it!
Im glad you like it, I nearly got myself one too!:
Thanks you SMILES4U I love my Dr Who pen, it lives in my nappy bag. And lollies from Sovereign Hill & Vanilla scented soap & pot purrri.....mmmm....yummy! And DD loves her little gift

I LOVED all of my gifts, a huge thank you to my santa!
I got two bamboo puzzles which were just perfect in every way, I took one with me on our trip yesterday & everyone was intrigued by it, I spent ages playing with it :lol:
And a box set of teas which look so pretty & I can't wait to try. I think I will have one tonight maybe after a bath...mmmm.....
I would love to know who you are!
Thank you for our gifts SS!! I got some gorgeous earrings and a keychain which I just love. DD1 adores her surfer Barbie (and she has non-Barbie feet!!) DD2 insisted on wearing her Dora singlet and tried to put the undies on her head :lol: I'm sure they will be a great bribe for when she starts TT!!

MrsMac - I'm so glad your DS liked the Ben10 figurine!!
I am so glad you liked your pressie Fleur..DH who is the puzzle geek in the family spent ages helping me pick them out.

DS2 had Connor. I was a bit worried about one of the instruments but figured mum and dad would either save it til he was a little older or assist iwth it :):
I had you Kim. I'm glad you liked it :):
DS1 had your DS. Im glad he liekd the books. I was getting stressed as one of them took a long time getting to me and I was worried I wouldnt be able to post them in time.:
Then in the rush I forgot to wrap them, and asked Santa to pass that message on to you but Im not sure you got it.
We all loved our presents too, they were awesome!
The lovely hand made gift wrapping that mine came in has been passed on to another BBer as christmas gift wrap, perhaps it will be used for some time to come :)
Both DS's loved their gifts. DS1 had made both his lego toys within a day of opening the parcel, and DS2 well his SS already knows that he LOVED his present :D
Tan - My DS had Hamish :) Was so glad he liked them! We actually stood in the shop for bout 20 minutes deciding when DS finally saw the sticker book and just lost it with smiles and laughter :)
Would still love to know who had myself and DS (as I already know who had DH :D)
i got a new lens for my camera (kinda for Christmas) and was looking for something to protect it a bit in the camera bag - DH suggested that, so yes, it is being used! lol:
Pandora!! I had you too!!!
I'm glad you liked the wrapping....(want to put the redface man here) I was a bit nervous.
BG that is just neat. Thankyou!
:clap: I know the author (and like him) as I have another of his books, but not those! Good choice! I was uber excited when I opened them! :rofl::
Thank you.
no need to thank me hun - it's perfect! i'll have to replace it with a slightly smaller one soon, so will put the bag in with the christmas stuff ready for using next year! it's cute!:
Thanks Pandora! I didn't get that message but that's ok. DS didn't know any different :) He knew the parcel was for him and the books are now his favourites.:

No worries. This was our first SS so DH and I were glad to see what DD was getting before we gave it to her. Thanks again!:
