My SS was Alegria and she got my the CUTEST apron from Anthropologie! It has little patchwork birds on it and a cute ruffle at the top. I'm so excited!
I love birds and I love to cook, so this is perfect! Thank you so much, Alegria!
I had the worst day today, and I came home to find my secret santa gift. Yay! My secret santa was NCShopper and she got me the cutest gifts!
I got tissues for my purse that say "Behind Every Successful Woman is a Fabulous pair of shoes!", Sipping chocolate that smells amazing - I can't wait to make hot cocoa, and the cutest silver credit card holder that says "I like my money where I can see it - Hanging in my closest". It was wrapped in the prettiest gold gift bag and there was a sweet card.
Thank you so much NCShopper - I love everything - it's perfect!
I received my ss gift on Tuesday and have been trying to get my camera to work so I could post a picture but it is not working! I wanted to go ahead and post what I got though.
I loved my gifts! My secret santa was D! She sent me a very cute planner which is exactly what I needed and the perfect gift for a working mom like me. I also got some beautiful notecards and a Cross pen! Everything was wrapped beautifully in silver paper and D enclosed the cutest card.
Thanks so much D! I love it all!
I will try to post a pic! Stay tuned!

I will have to take pictures as soon as I locate my camera (who has decided to hide from me!)...but I got the most beautiful Pashmina EVER. It is the perfect shade of blue with gold mixed in and it could not have come at a better time!!...You were right LoMish my part of the state has just now started getting colder...so it's perfect! (I live in Oklahoma, but we were the ONLY county in the entire state to miss out on the ice and bad weather) I wore it when i went shopping in Dallas this weekend and I think everyone was SUPER jealous!
Merry Christmas LoMish and thanks again!

Yay! I'm so glad that you like it! I was hoping it would be perfect with the cold weather!!! Merry Christmas (and Happy New Year) to you too!!!
My Secret Santa was HeatherLynn and she did such a great job. My laptop broke down last week or I would post a picture (I'm on the work computer) but she got me the cutest notepad and post-it note set with a cute little shoe and shopping print, a "Stila" lip gloss set (that is AMAZING), and an adorable football ornament with a snowman head that says "Auburn" on the side, has a blue and orange striped scarf, and lights up blue and orange too!!! Great job!!
I didn't actually go to Auburn, but my father and uncle did, and my parents made it my middle name. So, I've technicially been an Auburn fan since day one. That is so thoughtful!!! Thanks again---Have a very Merry Christmas HeatherLynn!!!

She got me a set of really beautiful kitchen towels in my favorite colors, and The New Moosewood Cookbook, along with a very pretty and sweet card. I cook with a towel over my shoulder every night, and will be so glad to be able to use these instead of our grody old ones! And the cookbook was one I was planning on buying for myself after the holidays . Perfect, perfect gifts! Thank you so much Relrel!

My Secret Santa was... Collette!!! (I already know she is a great Santa because she was mine last year at our Chicago Secret Santa get together) This year she added to my DVD collection (last year she got me some Christmas classics that I was dying for) and this year she added to my eye candy section with Elizabethtown and Tristan and Isolde, the top movies on my DVD list this x-mas! She also gave me an assortment of Godiva goodies; hot chocolate and chai and candies!!! YUM!! I had to muster up all the will power I had today to go to work and not stay home watching movies and sipping hot chocolate! I love everything Collette! Thank you so much!
Cheese also put on the Santa hat this year and got Duke the cutest stuffed squeaky toy! He played with it as soon as I took it out of the box (poor thing is already missing an eyeball) and fell asleep with it in his mouth! I took pics and I will post as soon as I download them! Duke says thank you Cheese!!
Merry Christmas Collette, thanks for a WONDERFUL gift!!!!

Yeah so glad you liked everything! I laughed when I got your name again this year but at least I know what you like......movies!!! I'm glad Duke liked his toy as well, Cheese was devastated when he saw it going in the box and not in his mouth!

My secret santa is kenzie!!! She gave me Monopoly Here and Now which I've been wanting for quite a while, really cool hat, gloves, and scarf set, plus a nice card. Here is the pics:
I'm wearing the scarf right now and I cannot wait to play the game! Thanks so much kenzie!

Everyone got the cutest things! Yey, NCshopper, I'm glad you liked it. I can't wait to get my SS gift, it's going to be the only surprise gift I get this year.
I didn't participate, but I just want to say that you all did such a great job being elves for your gift recipients. I am definately going to participate next year because it looks like you all had a lot of fun doing this and got some great loot to boot! Yay for Stylethread!

My present could NOT have come on a better day. I was in a horrible mood yesterday but then I came home to a glittery pink package with a new necklace inside! Even though I just put on pajamas and had a friend over, I wore my new necklace all night. Admittedly I was initially unsure about it, but once I tried it on, I fell in love! She got it for me at her friend's boutique, Tres Jolie.
Thank you!
