Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I LOVE that fabric - I wonder where it comes from? I accept PMs if the Secret Santa doesn't want to show him/herself!! What a lucky girl you are Poet! Can't wait to open mine now!

Guest Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Oooooh I just opened mine and its a lovely jar of whisky marmalade - someone knew I hadn't managed to make marmalade. It's beautifully presented int a lovely gold bag and has a label with a dired orange slice attached (something else I havn't managed to do!!). Sorry I can't post a picture but I've already packed the camera! Oh and as the secret santa is not so secret any more - the chicken fabric came from Ebay - I got it ages ago and TBH I never found anything much to do with it other than jam jar toppers. Rawlings is the name of my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Thankyou to my Secret Santa! Today was our present opening day as we're away from tomorrow, and I received 4 gorgeous knitted egg cosies, shaped as 4 white hens. I will try and post a photo after Xmas, if I can get my techno-act together I'm even going to keep the two boxes they came in to store Xmas decs! Thankyou again Secret Santa!!

Lesley Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Well, I didn't take part but I'm having fun guessing who sent which present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I didn't take part either, but only because I didn't read the SS thread - I would have had I known! I thought it was about ideas for making for SS so didn't bother reading the thread until it was all over. ...so nest year count me in!

Olly Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Well I opened mine this morning, as I am going to be away for a few days now and I was THRILLED to receive this beautiful quilted picture! I've hung it on my kitchen cupboard so I could photograph it, haven't had time to find a proper place to hang it yet. It is gorgeous, thank you very much indeed Santa - I am so impressed with your quilting skills! The other side is lovely as well but Photobucket is playing up and I can't resize the pic. Now I must get on with packing my bag, loading presents into the car, checking everything is turned off/on timers/locked ... oops, did I feed the chickens? I hope you have all have a lovely Christmas, I'll be checking back here at the weekend to see what the rest of you got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I love Poets prezzie - especially the cross stitch, very delicate & sweet. Yes the quilt is also lovely.
