micke-Your Secret Santa has sent the elves out with your package.
DC# 0307 0020 0003 4320 4800

I recived my box, it was full of wonderful things:)
I am not sure if I am suppose to list the contents of the box or not but in the other swaps I have been in that is what we did, so I am going to err on the side of caution and list 'em:)

I recieved 2 books, "Creating a cottage garden" and better homes and gardens "Christmas at home"
A seed mat, which by the way I have never seen before and cannot wait to try.
a sweet plaque that says "little by little day by day, flowers and friendship grow that way"
a Santa Christmas tree ornament (I am thinking it has a sachet of dried something in the bottom of it, I think that is where the lovely smell is coming from) Okay on closer inspection I am wondering if it was not hand made.
a ceramic sandal with a built in thermometer *love it!*
A Christmas cross stitch key ring.
A desk set with pad and pencil.
this last item was my favoritist item out of the whole box, a Days until Christmas reindeer, I absolutly loved it.

thank you so much, I really enjoyed opening and going through this box, you brightened my day at a time when I really needed a pick me up.

I received the most wonderful Christmas Box from my Secret Santa.

She sent me Ghirardelli chocolates (which I hid from my DH), a gold bell ornament with curlies and bows, a snowman ornament on a sled and a medal Christmas gift box (it's so pretty). Plus a cute little hummingbird feeder (adorable). Also glass flower and petal beads, a sticky pad shaped in the letter M, handmade gift cards (looks like dried flowers on them, they are to pretty to use), cross stitch gingerbread man kit (a snowy day project), candle wicks and a small sticky pad.

There is more a Living In The Country Life magazine, a wonderful spiral sketch book, floral writing tablet with envelopes stationary (I'm almost out of stationary and I love the floral design) and 3 plants: Philodendron, variegated Schefflera and a purple flowering Christmas Cactus.

Gosh I hope I didn't forget anything. Secret Santa you have made my day. I'm thrilled with everything. I couldn't have a nicer ending to our year long swap. What a fabulous box.

Hugs,
Mariann

My secret Santa box also arrived today. And I was very touched that my little girl was thought of.Thank you! A workbook, and a little felt purse were quickly confiscated . Very Cute! Also special magic dust was sent to attract Santa's reindeer. ;) She loved it thank you. As for me a cute Christmas flower pot, a handmaid ornament which was hung right on the tree. A little globe ornament that didn't make it in transit. :( Peanut Butter Cookie Mix, Homemade Peanut Brittle,Gourmet Gingerbread cookies, and a lovely spicy tea blend. (seems homemade)I adore tea and would like to know more on how to make it when you can. Also a few ornaments, a puppy in a sleigh, a Santa in a little bag, and a pretty gold and silver candle.Also a back issue of Taste of Home; love magazines and books. Lastly a pillow for the tub and beautiful mini journal.

Thank you Ann for taking your time to send such a special gift and with so many homemade goodies. Also including a little something for my daughter was very thoughtful.
Thank you again, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

Hershey's cookbook
Christmasy cork coaster set
Holiday Cookie Cutters
Beaded flower wind chime
a Paperwhite kit
Embroidered hankies

A cute little wooden sled with a wreath on it and it say let it snow, a real cute plush reindeer, so soft,a book Merry christmas from your secret santa, 3 tree oranaments one is filled with mini candy canes, small trees and little stockings,very cute the other two one is a snowman and one is like a gold drum filled with hard candy, 2 real pretty cermic mugs one has wrapped candy in it,a real cute felt stocking with snowman on it and a snow globe and a cermic boot that was red and white, it looked real cute but it and the snow globe, didn't make the trip. They were both broken. Thank you Mickie it is all very nice. Ann

Deb-You are most welcome. Glad you enjoyed the box. I made one of those pine cone feeders, last year, and the birds were fighting over it.

Ann-I am happy that you received your box. I sent a box to someone for Christmas and something broke too. It was a glass ball that I had hand beaded.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
Hugs,
Mariann
