[mamandomi]

Sorry if it has already been organized but I think it would be fun to send a wee parcel (that is if the post is not on strike) With home made goodies to someone ho would appreciate
Let me know what you think

That festive mist's a bugger.

What's happening ladies! Glad to see they are arriving.

Dear Fathechristmas, we had DD1's BFF adn ehr sister round earlier and they had great fun with the crowns
'You must bow when you speak to me!'
Thank you again!

I used it today! We've just been shopping (mega busy out there) and I wore it . My mum is coming tomorrow and I just know she will try and pinch it.

hey chillohippi, careful...you'll wear it out!
tell your mum for a substantial small fee, she can be the proud owner of her very own miamla snood!

I will. You could have the start of a good business here, you know!

No postie for me today so mine will be a late Xmas swap

Mine too dizzy, postman today only brought me a bank card which I don't think was part of the swap

Hey, chums - I received my swap the other day!
Gorgeous festive sewing thingy and some frankincense soaps
It was such a lovely surprise, had completely forgotten to expect something!

I'm afraid I haven't sent mine yet, so sorry but at least I have finished making it - just got to package up and it will be sent first class after xmas.

Will also post pics and catch up with this thread etc as soon as I can.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I opened it!!!

It's a gorgeous Christmassy patchwork wall hanging, and also a diary, some buttons, chocolate coins (yummy!!) and some pins to replace my 30 year old rusty ones.

Thankyou very much Secret Santa! I love my presents!!

CTJ - if I was as handy with my laptop as my sewing machine I'd be able to change my name on here so that I could comment without you knowing it was me - but I can't - so I'm outing myelf as your Secret Santa

Glad you liked everything xx

Everyone's stuff sounds fab!
Who do we have left to receive?

Meeee! Postman hasn't been yet so I'll keep an eye out today.

Is it Sunday today though?

Yes. I realised later this morning.

Bumper not back yet?

< pirou....ah, sod it. Reaches for gaviscon>

Hello - would just like to apologise for being late, Dizzy
Your package will be on its way as soon as the post office opens again.

I hope it's worth the wait x x x

Thanks for reminding me in the other thread santa! Just got back a couple of hours ago and opened my present.

It's a beautiful purple bag, beautifully lined, will take a pic later and sent to Jack or post on my profile. Also a lovely little bag for DD with some father christmas choccies inside. Thank you so much, what an awful lot of work you put into it.

Was worth the wait and a nice little treat to come back to

Glad you liked them. DD's bag was a bit rushed so has a rather primitive quality!

Hope you had a lovely Christmas.

It's here!!!

I got a lavender & chamomile filled red gingham hanging heart

A little pot of orange, cardomom & frankencense scented bath salts

and some delicious (DD and I just had to have a try!) white chocolate & cranberry fudge.

Thank you Secret Santa xx

Oh, Jack...?

Do you want us to send pics of our santa prezzies to you?

Have just taken some v pretty pics of my decs on the tree.

Happy new year swappers! Everything sounds fab! re: pics you can mail them to me, or put them on flickr group, but i cant link or update blog at mo as am on my phone, no laptop access for a few days! Cant even do paragraphs ffs!

Um, so is anyone else still waiting? Actually I'm not getting any mail at the moment thanks to the snow drifts so hopefully when normal service resumes I'll get a January cheer-up something!

And I still haven't seen if the person I sent to has received.

I'm still waiting too, fingers crossed for post this week

Have chased both for you guys and will let you know if I hear anything, and no news/posts at all from your swappee TwoIf, shall keep chasing though.
Sorry guys, blooming snow and post.

Cool Ta Jack.
