[YLF Secret Santa 2012] Secret Santas, reveal your identities here...

Hi ladies,

I think a few more people have not checked in any of the previous gifts related threads, but since we can't have a good idea when they'll get their gifts or if they'll have time to reply before Christmas, I thought we might wrap things up and reveal who's been whose Santa.

So, I'll start again with MaryK who's somewhere in Asia, then me:

* MaryK was Ceit's Secret Santa

* I was Jenava's Secret Santa

Your turn

Jyoti was my secret santa--my gift arrived yesterday but I am heading out the door for a trip so haven't had a chance to post on the other thread yet. She chose an amazing gift--a beautiful navy blue dress with gold buttons.

I was Anne's Secret Santa - her gift (from Alaska to Australia) JUST arrived. Jeez! At least she got it and I'll let her post about it. I got a fab scarf and bracelet which I've worn twice, but have no idea who mine is!

I was Vani's Secret Santa! It was fun sending her gift because choosing it made me remember some of her fantastic outfits, including the gorgeous, colourful jewellery that she favours. A shot of light in the dark winter here!

I guessed my Secret Santa, too, but I will let her tell the rest of you who she is!

I was Marianna's Santa! Sorry I ruined the surprise - it was the first time I used Amazon's gift wrap service, and I did not know they'd put my name in there. I am glad you liked the selections!

I was Natalie's secret santa! I tried to be all sneaky and put my parents' CA address as the return address (since she knew my real address) but she figured it out anyway! Great detective work!

I have no idea who my Santa was... so am really excited to find out!

I was bj111's Secret Santa - although it was not so secret since I stupidly put my name on the Customs form!!!

As for my Secret Santa, I just know it was from someone in Australia.

I was annagybe's secret santa. I don't know mine but the box was from California.

I was Janet's secret santa and it was so cool of her to post wearing her scarf! I saw it and thought of so many of the clothes I've loved seeing her wear, so I'm glad it worked for her The polish wasn't exactly the shade she wanted, but I hope she liked it and the bracelet just seemed "janet" to me.

My santa did a wonderful job (especially given very limited information) with a fantastic black and silver bangle, blue scarf and great navy polish... I have no idea who the Santa is and can't wait to find out and give a more personally directed "thanks"!

I was Pil's secret santa, but she knows that because I signed my name in the card. Oooops... It was fun for me because I did not know a lot about her or her style, but luckily I was able to get her something she wanted!

No worries, Rae. I LOVED my gift. Absolutely perfect. Amazon did a really nice gift wrapping, actually. Everything was great.

I was Bella's Secret Santa as she has already guessed. Honestly I have no idea how did she guess it as I had a gift sent directly by vendor. This is the best detective work EVER!
...which brings me to my Santa and the poorest detective work on my side as I have no idea who she is. My present was sent from Nova Scotia directly by vendor...I am still under suspence!

I was Desmo April's Santa. I had fun playing detective!

And Natalie was my wonderful SS. many thanks and we have a card in the mail to you!

Lol:) I was Sveta's Secret Santa!:) I am not going to give away my secret, but it was a lot of fun to find out that Sveta and I basically exchanged gifts:!) Thank you so much Sveta. It's a gorgeous gift and I've already worn the necklace and the earrings (separately) more than once!

I was Astrid's Secret Santa, and sent her a red floral silk scarf made from an Indian Sari (made by an Etsy seller based in Australia!) I was quite thrilled about sending an Indian themed gift to Germany via Australia! Coincidentally, my husband was also in Germany about the time Astrid got her gift...

I have no idea who my Santa was. She gave me several small gifts with instructions to open one each day, and a lovely copper bag. Eager to know whom to thank!

I was Una's Santa! And I now know MaryK was mine. This was so much fun!

Ceit, as SOON as I saw your name on this thread I realized it was YOU! Great picks and can't believe I didn't know!

I was Caro's Secret Santa. But I'm afraid she hasn't gotten her present yet. I admit that I sent it a bit late. I hope it arrives soon.
Tracina, I loved the earrings. Thank you very much! Also I think they're nickel-free because I could wear them all day. The map box was extra special.

This is such a fun read

bella, you won't mind if I reveal the secret to Sveta, will you?

I did three draws, the last one being for the late late arrivals... but, I was waiting to have at least 3 people in that final draw to avoid the same person being Santa and recipient! Unfortunately, the 3rd person had to pull out, so I think bella who was waiting quite a while to find out who she'd be paired up with figured it out as soon as she was given the name

As for my gift, I admit to seeing it in the shop long ago but since I don't need it I was simply admiring it from afar. Then, when I got Jenava's name in the draw I kept thinking back about the gloves, which I bought in the end... and then went back and bought another pair for me. This was definitely not a need but a want, but I didn't mind, I love gloves and given how much outerwear is important to me these days, I can easily justify them And Jenava and I are now gloves twins ;-D

Sunita, your Santa is utterly creative, I loved how she led you through the surprises!

My Santa was rholmes27, her name on the customs label was quite a clue, but - another secret revealed - I also knew it as being a group admin I saw it on Elfster.

Thanks Ornella, I missed her post.

I was Biscuits Mom's secret santa and being a fellow dog lover had to include a little something for Biscuit. Like my secret santa Marianna, I also signed my name to the card - so no surprise for Biscuits Mom.

The stockings Marianna sent me are great - can't wait to wear them!

This was fun - thanks for organizing Ornella!

I was Kat's Secret Santa and am so glad you liked your gifts. Hope you and your family are recovered from your trip and illnesses.

I don't know my SS even though there was a name on the amazon receipt.

rholmes27

As Ornella stated, I was her SS. I've got to remember to be more sly next year.

Due to an unexpected stay in the hospital while out of town, I have yet to open my gift. Sorry-dear SS. However, I am now winging my way home & will open it tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it after an unsettling couple of weeks.

annagybe was my ss (see above). Thanks again Anna I will post better pics soon.
I was Diana's ss - I was nervous as I don't "know" any of you very well yet but luckily Diana had a list of thinks to choose from & I picked a lovely necklace from Etsy. The seller was amazing, she gift wrapped & put in a card from secret santa!

Anna, I'm so glad those earrings are working for you. I was really nervous shopping for you. I made the box because you commented on a post by Janet about loving maps.

Diana

Veteran

Thank you, Caro! I love my necklace, in fact I am wearing it again today!

Ornella, yes I did make the necklace for Natalie. It is hand-crocheted with perle cotton around metal rings and was super fun to make. I still have a few more of the rings so I might make something similar for myself.

I was Kristin's Secret Santa and I was happy to see that she liked my gift and my message to her

I had a guess as to who my Secret Santa was but I'll let her reveal herself in this thread.
