To my SS Thank You :-* :-* :-* You are so clever. How did you know what I needed? Asolutely love my personalised apron and gorgeous food cover. Pics are coming. I am guessing my SS is Aussie Brenda???

OK, who's my secret Santa? I DIDN'T guess, is she going to remain secret forever? I loved my presents, hope you got something really nice too!

And all the best for Christmas and the New Year! ;D

Thank you to my SS. I opened my present today- it has been under the tree for ages.
I love the handmade card, the biscuit cutters and 2 jar busters for scraping the last traces from the bowl. Can't wait to try them:)
I have posted the photo in the other thread so you can all see my lovely pressies.

My present came all the way from the UK, so I think I know who my SS is.
Am I allowed to guess now?

I had great fun opening my present today (well, it was two presents, actually).  I knew one was a book, because a small corner of the wrapping paper was torn, but I was really good and didn't sneak peek to see what it was ... until today.

After checking out the recipe book, the wonderful "Five Nights a Week", by Valli Little (it's one of ABC's Delicious series) I couldn't wait to check out part 2 of my present.  It was so much fun opening no. 2 as it was a complete mystery because there were no strategic tears I could peek into.  It had a set of silicone collapsible (or folding) measuring cups, a shopping list pad and three packets of garden flower seeds, all hidden inside a lovely presentation bag!  And, do you know, the strangest thing is that I was in a Kitchen shop last week looking at measuring cups and had even picked a set off the rack to buy, then put them back again - I decided to leave it until the New Year!  Isn't that just the greatest coincidence ever?

So SS (who shall remain nameless, but I know who you are, don't I "R"  ;)), many thanks for your thoughtful gifts.  How you read my mind about buying measuring cups a month in advance I will never know, but your choice of gifts was perfect.  I am looking forward to trying out recipes from Five Nights a Week and will be planning on where I can sow the seeds where I will see them (and hopefully where the rabbits won't see them).

I have taken a photo and will try really hard to post it, but I can't make any promises.

Thank you so much to my secret Santa.  I got a lovely packet of Christmas serviettes and a  great home is where the heart is plaque.  Perfect timing for Christmas Day :)

Thank you!

Also thank you Amy for the lovely card - it's lovely.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and has a safe and healthy new year.
