Title: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: Amy :-) on October 31, 2012, 11:34:41 am: Well, my other thread seems to be three pages long and has no photos on it. So here is a new thread for PHOTOS ;D
Take a photo of your present and give us a bit of a descripton of it. If you'd like, have a guess who you think might have sent it. We can chat about everything on the other thread: http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11634.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11634.0)

Please note that posts without photos will be deleted by our forum guardian angel :D

Enjoy the photos,

Amy xxxx

Post by: droverjess on October 31, 2012, 08:53:28 pm: OK here is my very generous present from my SS.
He or she who is known and shall not be named just to add to the fun.
Accidentally opened owing to fact posted in Britain.
I'd never have opened an Australian packet.

Thanks so much. Xxxx

Post by: Shally on November 03, 2012, 12:50:18 pm: Dear Santa

Thank you so much for sending my present to the UK all the way from Australia :-*

I promise I have been a good girl ;D I will promise to be good and 'try :P' not to shake, sniff or squeeze my present in an attempt to reveal its contents before the reveal date allowed.

Thank you so much - so excited :-*

Post by: Katiej on November 17, 2012, 12:14:52 am: My present arrived awhile ago from the book depository, then a Xmas card came in the mail.

My DH (because I asked him to) has taken it from the book depository packaging and wrapped it for me.

Thanks Secret Santa!!(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/17/uveqegy6.jpg)

Post by: judydawn on November 19, 2012, 05:48:31 am: The delivery van pulled up today which was not unexpected as I have orders due to start coming in anyway. 3 parcels today, my order from MJ, 3 of the 19 dinosaur books I ordered for GS plus one I thought might have been my SS gift but on the back it clearly stated it was not from that source. Inside were these 3 parcels and a beautiful home made card thanking me for what I do on the forum but no identification apart from an address of Essendon in Victoria.

To whomever posted this gift to me, thank you so much for your lovely words and thoughtfulness - it was a lovely surprise. Now what to do, do I open the present or do I keep it to open on the 23rd with my SS present. What do you all think (post your thoughts on the other thread girls), what does my secret sender think and are you going to identify yourself? Would love to know who you are, I have no clues.
Title: Re: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: mcmich on November 20, 2012, 07:36:10 pm: I have had my SS present for a few weeks now and wasn't going to undo the packaging but did this morning.
I'm very excited but will get DH to hide it until the 23rd.
Title: Re: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: judydawn on November 21, 2012, 12:59:22 am: This is not my SS gift, it's Marina's. She is having trouble posting it so I am just helping her out.

Thank you to my SS from WA (doesn't really narrow it down LOL). I have opened the card but the pressies are under the tree.... for now 😉
Title: Re: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: cookie1 on December 11, 2012, 09:09:56 am: Ok, I have done it and opened my SS gift. Why wait until the 23d, everyone else will open theirs then and Kimmy sort of dared me!
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/11/evave9y9.jpg)
All beautifully, individually wrapped and then when I removed the wrapping-
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/11/6a4u4yry.jpg)

Wowee. Super duper homemade soaps from.... The top right is Pure Luxury, unscented, uncoloured soap with added Shea butter. Great for me as I don't like scented things much.
The marbled brown one is Cook's Soap. Coffee, vanilla and cocoa and removes odours from hands.
The front one is Honey and Oatmeal soap. No added fragrances or colours

Am I not one very spoiled individual? Thank you so much..?
Title: Re: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: Kimmyh on December 12, 2012, 03:38:40 am: Well...I have done it too. And it was peer pressure by cookie that did it.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/12/uvy7esyg.jpg)
Thank you so much secret Santa. I love my French stick tin and can't wait to get stuck into my pocket sudoku book. I feel so spoilt and lucky. Thank you and merry Christmas xox

I forgot to photograph the shopping bag that it was all wrapped in. I'm using everything, thanks SS!
Title: Re: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: Emme on December 15, 2012, 09:20:15 pm: Okay, had to open it, so as DS could take a photo as he won't be back until Christmas morning. Well that is my story and I am sticking to it. :D :D
Thank you so much SS from Collingwood or at least it was posted in Collingwood ;D
The spoons measure a drop,smidge,pinch and a hint
Love it, :-*
Title: Re: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: judydawn on December 16, 2012, 02:39:16 am: Mine arrived this morning, yes a Sunday delivery - that was a real surprise too ;D

My SS has a great sense of humour, is from Victoria and I can't wait to find out which one of my friends you are. I have to be honest, I was going to make you wait to see this picture as long as you made me wait for the present but I just couldn't do it. I will probably open it before the 23rd, it depends how my willpower goes - for the time being though it will stay unopened. Thank you for your lovely words to us both in the card.

In case you can't read the front of the card I have taken a close up - love it :D :-* :-* :-*
Title: Re: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: droverjess on December 16, 2012, 05:46:49 pm: Here is the beautiful mug from Emme. As suggested I shall remember all my Australian friends every time I use this cup. Thank you Marie very much.
(http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh621/Droverjess/39d9ae79754d986c08ad4f1279a7f3fc.jpg)

And here is the huge pile of wonderful gifts from Amy. Tea towels, oven gloves, brilliant boot socks, cheerful fridge magnets, tons of toffee, a pictorial guide to Albany and a hand made card.
(http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh621/Droverjess/b288f52200a8ccbbe5a5e0dfe4ead69a.jpg)

Thank you Amy very much, you have been far TOO generous, but I appreciate it all very much and the family have also been cheered by all the kindness and generosity on here. Using all these things will bring me good cheer every time I use them and see them around my home.
Thanks again to everyone for everything

Post by: CreamPuff63 on December 19, 2012, 03:10:38 am: I was just eating a piece of chocolate and the urge to open my SS pressie was too strong to resist. It's a beautiful little pottery chooken and is so sweet and rustic. SS said Henny Penny (yes, I've named her already) can either go inside or outside. Love it to pieces SS and thank you so much :-* :-* :-* I was going to open the card on the 23rd, but all resolve just went out the door :D I wonder who you are...

Post by: KarenH on December 22, 2012, 04:27:51 am: I opened my present this morning - and I absolutely love it! Thank you SS! I received a beautiful purple crystal that looks and feels just gorgeous (and will be going with me to work to sit on my desk), and a little fabric bag made out of a christmas fabric, which held a bag of my favourite tea (chai tea) and a wonderful little poem typed out on card and attached to it ....... I think it is just so lovely! I have to confess though, that I have lost the post bag that the gift came in that had my SS mobile phone number on it ... so I cant SMS or ring to say a special thank you in person. So please - let me know who you are at some stage so I can say a huge thank you :-* :-* :-*

Post by: judydawn on December 22, 2012, 07:07:36 am: I opened my very SS gift today when Katie & Richard were here and as soon as I opened it I knew who it was from (Katie agreed). If I'm wrong please let me know but it has maddy written all over it - who else would send a Kath Kidston apron and a Hallmark Keepsake Christmas ornament for my tree. It has to be maddy and I thank you dear girl, it's a lovely gift and I'll think of you everytime I wear my beautiful apron.

Every thing wrapped in bubble wrap,then beautifully tied with Crissy ribbon, then wrapped in lovely tea towel, THEN inside all things that I would like but wouldn't't buy for my self. A beautiful turquoise scarf , a mauve note pad with a Japanese lady on the front, a super scrubby and a most beautiful plate, again with a
Japanese decoration. This will feature in my photos from now on. Thank you ever so much.

to who ever gave you this apron djinni 373 what a clever idea ,it looks really good
my question is it handmade sewn or painted on the apron or did they get it professional done
Title: Re: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: Amy :-) on January 24, 2013, 11:34:12 am: Its embroidery I think nazar. We'll have to see if the SS tells us who did it though ;D
Title: Re: PHOTOS of Secret Santa Presents ONLY
Post by: Aussie Brenda on January 25, 2013, 07:32:31 am: Thank you Nazar, I embroidered the apron, before answering your post imtkoughtnibwould sew two to see how long it would take me to make the apron as well it was nearly three hours.
