She probably figured that out since I think I am one of the only Colorado members that participated in the US-only drawing! I had originally wanted to get her a beret after reading a thread and seeing it on her wishlist but she beat me to it! Still after I learned she loved to travel and seemed to be open to jewelry I thought I would go with the french theme, especially since many of her WIWs give me that feeling. Hopefully she will enjoy the hand creams as well. </p> <p>Biscuits' Mom (Laurie! -- You and I have very similar first names-- my given name is Lauren) --- thank you so much for the lovely cap. That was so generous of you and I am enjoying it throughly with our subzero temps. My nice hat for commuting to work and such bit the dust and I am so lucky to have had such a thoughtful elf. I had no idea for sure who it was since it was shipped from the shop-- clever!</p> <p>And Ornella, thank you again for all your hard work putting this together. I enjoy it emensely and the last few years it has been my only oportunity to exchange gifts with friends since so many of my RL girlfriends have sworn off exchanges because many of us are on tight budgets being young professionals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/3#post-1117983 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 12:42:57 +0000 Nicole D 1117983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I drew Caro as my giftee! &nbsp;I tried to send something that would pamper and delight, with a local flavour (Lise Watier is a Canadian brand, and of course I threw in some maple syrup, made in my own town).<br />JulieJohn sent me an amazing book that I am really enjoying "SHop your closet". &nbsp;Look forward to purging posts soon! &nbsp;JulieJohn, you did reveal your identity, but I did too - I confess to not really paying attention to the "Secret" part....but that's OK! &nbsp;The fun is in the surprise and the kindness. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1117978 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 12:27:04 +0000 Debra 1117978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are most welcome, it is also fantastic if you burn yourself, glad you like the scarf, it was fun selecting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1117959 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:19:14 +0000 Anonymous 1117959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debra, I've only just come back to this thread after two really busy days with very little YLF time. Thank you so much for my gift, I love the scarf and The Paw Paw ointment has already cured my sons chapped knuckles </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1117958 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:02:55 +0000 bella 1117958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just posted this on elfster, but I wanted to post it here as well so that my secret elf can see it:</p> <p> <div>Dear elf,<br />I wanted to thank you for your kind present. Yesterday, I finally received a note that your gift has arrived but is being held at customs. My husband went to claim it for me, but he was told that because the package contains cosmetics, and it is illegal to bring cosmetics into the county via post (something to do with trade restrictions, I think), they will not release the package. My husband also wanted to see if there was a card that he could at least take home but he couldn't do that either. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of such customs laws and I couldn't warn you ahead of time. In any case, I am very sorry that your gift could not make it to me. But I want to let you know your kind thoughts are very much appreciated anyway. I hope now you can reveal your identity dear Elf. Best wishes!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1115611 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 18:45:07 +0000 Debra 1115611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Diane G I was you secret santa </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1115601 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 18:39:27 +0000 Anonymous 1115601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't available for the big reveal, been without internet. <br />I wasn't too worried&nbsp; since I knew my secret was out.&nbsp; I had the joy of being the very compassionate and artistic Hil's santa. <br />Thanks so much for the doggie Paw earrings Bella, I love them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1114834 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 17:22:18 +0000 JulieJohn 1114834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Janet, you were my Santa, of course! I forgot you are a Marylander, duh! I was totally stumped. Man, I love the gifts so much, thank you! By the way, that Maryland tea is deeeeelish. I love Tazo too, and will nom nom my way through that lovely pack. Now I can think of you and your kindness, fantastic mind, and chic style every time I use my prezzies. I will have to put together a tribute outfit featuring the galaxy necklace. YEAH!</p> <p>I was Nicole D's Santa, and I fear I didn't play along right. My only excuse is it's my first time. I signed my name to the note inside the package, oops! Nicole, I loved your photos of yourself enjoying the book in front of your Christmas tree, so adorable and such beautiful decorations! You are a fun lady with a killer sense of style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1114019 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 18:14:19 +0000 Anonymous 1114019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still wondering who my Santa was.

I've been SOOO curious to find out who my fabulous Secret Santa was!! And there really was no reason to be nervous at all. I absolutely love my brilliant new scarf, the wonderful earrings and the fun shopping tote (have been using it all week, and think of you each time). From the beautiful gift wrap, the fun card&nbsp;(and very sweet message) and all the thoughtfulness and attention that went into it, your prezzie makes me so happy. Thank you again, so much!&nbsp;</p> <p>Happy hugs!!</p> <p>Inge<br />xxx</p> </p> <p>MaryK - I'm sorry the Belgian Post Office didn't let me hide my identity:-) But&nbsp;I'm just so chuffed that you love the scarf, and your enthusiasm and sweet words will keep me smiling all day! </p> <p>Perhaps we need to set up a chocolate supply line?-)</p> <p>Big hugs for you too!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1113836 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 11:03:26 +0000 Astrid 1113836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, thanks Froggiebecky!

You were a fab elf-I love the hat!</p> <p>I was Astrid's elf! Other than not putting my name on the package, I hoped that I was hidden a little by the fact that I'd just moved. I had a lot of fun using her wish list as inspiration (and reason) to explore Edinburgh's shopping districts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1113651 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 02:10:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 1113651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crazyone it was all down to&nbsp;the power of Etsy The seller was really helpful.

I would have NEVER guessed correctly. I am still enjoying my boot socks!<br />&nbsp;<br />My Secret Santa beneficiary was Annagybe. She was correct that I was quite nervous sending my gift. I wasn't sure I had a good read on her style preferences. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1112854 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:50:15 +0000 Kristin L 1112854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, I was&nbsp;Susie's Secret Santa.

Great gifts (I've used bag and worn earrings this week!) I had seen Canada on the parcel and before I could hide more of the return address I admit I saw a "K" which sort of clued me in. Thank you so much.</p> <p>I was Inge's Secret Santa and so nervous to find something suitable for her fabness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1112852 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:41:56 +0000 bella 1112852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was Tracina's Secret Santa.

And Mr. Suz thought it looked great. I will post a photo soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2013-want-to-know-who-your-santa-was/page/2#post-1112530 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 02:21:34 +0000 Von 1112530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Susie! I wore both my scarf and polish today! I was Pil's elf! Pil, when I gathered those leaves, they were brilliant yellow, it wasn't until I mailed the package that it dawned on me that they might not be so brilliant on opening day! I'm glad they were still yellow at least! </p>
