Secret Santa Swap December 2014

wonderful gifts this year, its been a lot of fun

Poor Judy, sounds terrible to have to sit there in pain. I must of missed something. How did she get hurt?

Lovely gifts Marian. Bet you make a lot of pretties.

Yes, Helen, a lot of fun.

Judy has 2 or 3 broken vertebrae they discovered, not sure how it happened but personally I suspect a fall she took a couple of months ago. She was away for a weekend with her hubby and her electric scooter tipped over on a sidewalk and fell on her, hence me suspecting that incident. Dr's hadnt given her pain meds or anything, this was found a couple of weeks ago, she has been left sitting in a chair at hospital and then home while they dawdle around and decide what to do, she was readmitted to hospital xmas eve I believe it was and given some pain meds. Its hard to find out how she is doing.

Laura's SS gift just arrived and boy is she spoiled and thrilled, I have photos, need to get them off the camera etc, Cassie was so very thoughtful, just amazing

There were so many pretty gifts this year. I enjoyed participating and look forward to it again next year. Thanks for taking care of it Alicia.

Secret Santa Gift from Redmadder that was filling in for Judy in Oregon.

Thank you Redmadder, you're truly a Christmas Angel! I love my bag, look forward to taking it daily to work with me when vacation is over with!

Judy in Oregon, thinking about you and wishing you a quick recovery!

I have the list update with some help from some of Santa's other Elves.

Please let me know if I'm missing anything.

Love seeing all the wonderful gifts! Santa's Elves were very busy this year!

kany

Kany you should be getting it really soon if not now that is a long time for the parcel to take I hope that the ocean didn't swallow it up!!
Let me know as soon as you get it...anxiously awating.

Betweens, I received a PM from Kany this morning, she hasn't received anything yet. She's keeping her eye out for it.

Glad you like the bag. This has been fun ya'll, hope we get to do it again.

golo, checked the post office again and there is nothing there. Hope it gets returned to you!

Marian in Ohio

I am getting a little worried, I sent one out the same day to Ohio and it was received on the 24th...I hope after the holidays the mail gets organized...and she gets it.
I see that everyone got their christmas wish, it was lots of fun thanks so much for having me join in.

It takes time going overseas Betweens, hopefully it will arrive soon.

hi
and I get my santa gift, thank you very nice!
kany

Awesome! so glad you got it took a very long time! this time I was on time and still it took forever..LOL Karny I a not sure what kind of quilting you do but thought there had to be some hand work involved at some point so it is an arm chair pincushion, you are able to put stuff in the pockets while it rests on your arm chair and you have some somewhere to put your pins as well. Hope you are able to use it. thanks for letting me be your SS

Ya! Glad your package arrived Kany!

OK, is that everyone now?

Has anyone heard from Judy in Oregon and how she's feeling? Did she recieve her gift, do we know?

Not sure where everyone stands on doing Xmas in July this year.

Currently I'm feeling as though I'd like to pass on Xmas in July this year. Now if someone wants to take on the Swap, I'm truly OK with it as well, please don't let my pass discourage anyone from taking it on if they want to.

Maybe we could do one of the swaps suggested in the other thread in place of it? We have time to think about it for awhile though.

Thanks for the many swaps you have hosted so far Alicia.

I have finally got online and have to say thank you soooo much to KANY love my secret santa gifts I was so spoilt.

That snowman runner is ADORABLE! Nice goodies!!!

oh my goodness Sheir you got spoiled everything is lovely

Oh how cute. Snowmen! Love all your goodies.

Lovely gifts, snowmen are so cute, they look so happy!

Alicia, you have worked your butt off with these swaps over the last couple of years (or longer) and your time and patience has been so very much appreciated. Dont you feel bad at all about taking a break, you more than earned it! Thank you so much

TxMary, your idea sounds good, perhaps in July someone would be happy to host one of the ideas for swaps people have been posting HERE

Shemoo, love that.  So adorable and all the extra little lovelies!  Spoiled ROTTEN, indeed!

My person was Judy who was recently injured, so don't know for sure whether she received my gift.  I am assuming so.
