It was me!!! I am so sorry I have been absent from the forum for several days -- family etc. -- but I am so glad you like the necklace. I knew I wanted to get you jewelry and I loved the versatility and shimmer of that piece. It seems understated but it has legs: you can really work it. I hope you enjoy it.</p> <p>And I didn't know you were actually a writer when I included that journal! I was really responding to your fabulous posts, which are always such a joy to read. :)</p> <p>Have a wonderful, beautiful, sparkly holiday. xxxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you/page/2#post-1411688 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 04:03:49 +0000 JenA 1411688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><span>Bj1111,<br />Thank you so much for the beautiful necklace.&nbsp;</span>I know I made it very hard for you as I haven't been very active and I've only posted once. I haven't made a wish list for such a long time. It was fun to pick out things.&nbsp;<span></p> <p>Here's a picture of me wearing the necklace. &nbsp;(Sorry for the bad quality, it's late at night and&nbsp;I'm a little camera shy).<br /></span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you/page/2#post-1411650 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 02:49:37 +0000 Michelle 1411650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still dying to know who mine is! I've worn my beautiful necklace for four days running now, styled differently each time. It's never failed to elicit a complement. I love it more all the time and know it will be a workhorse, so thank you in advance!<br />Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you/page/2#post-1411632 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 01:57:55 +0000 bj1111 1411632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JenA's SS checking in.

We've almost eaten up all the chocolate (had to share with 3 other people). It has been great fun.

I <b>THOUGHT</b> it was you but wasn't 100% sure. So I was afraid to make a guess. Now I know. I love that the belt is something we'd <b>BOTH</b> wear! And the hand cream, too, of course!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you/page/2#post-1411113 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 00:12:39 +0000 Elly 1411113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the lovely gift, Lisa. I appreciate he inspiration and I think both pieces were so fun. I will try to incorporate them into an outfit soon (I've been sick home from work, so mostly in PJs). </p> <p>I was Suz's secret santa. It was fun to shop for her, and I hope she got something she could use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you/page/2#post-1411051 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 22:38:42 +0000 Susie 1411051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KL, thank you so much for the earrings! I DO really like them and have already worn them with my silver jackets.</p> <p>I was Alysha's Santa. She had mentioned that she likes gold and keeps a journal so I found a blank book at Anthro with a pretty metallic design. She also said she likes chocolate so I HAD to include that. Finally, the dish with an A was just too cute to not add! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you/page/2#post-1410996 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 20:58:55 +0000 Anonymous 1410996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't participate, but just wanted to say that it's really fun to see all the thoughtful gifts people gave and how happy their recipients are!</p> <p>I'm especially envious of Laura for getting homemade strawberry-rhubarb jam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you/page/2#post-1410985 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 20:43:37 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1410985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhhh, I love it!

And no worries about the drama.. that just made it a good challenge, and ended up being all the more fun! I had just hoped it wouldn't make it less fun to get something from your own backyard instead of across the world... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you/page/2#post-1410909 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 17:16:35 +0000 Kristin L 1410909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much Firecracker! I didn't put your screen name and real name together until I read your post on the gift thread. I do love birds! I wore the necklace and earrings yesterday to my mother's family Christmas and I got a lot of compliments on them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was Susie's secret santa. She had posted that she wanted a pair of black studs on elfster, so I figured I couldn't go wrong with that. I'm not near the jewelry maker Firecracker is, so I figured etsy was a good way for me to go. I'm so glad she likes them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you#post-1410843 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:00:44 +0000 Debbie 1410843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter-thank you the bracelet is beautiful and so much fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you#post-1410821 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 13:47:07 +0000 Anonymous 1410821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Renna, you know I love my gifts!

They were awesome. </p> <p>I'm glad I participated for the first time.

She's going to know the moment she picks up the package because they put my name on it front and center.<br /> I wish I knew for sure who mine was. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you#post-1410786 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 04:36:47 +0000 Deborah 1410786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you to Karie for her beautiful gift. &nbsp;The earrings are just stunning and so me:) &nbsp;I did know the parcel was from Karie upon opening but that did nothing to lessen how thrilled I was.</p> <p>I was Keturah's SS but I note she has not checked in as having received her gift. &nbsp;I hope all is well and it has arrived.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you#post-1410781 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 04:13:57 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1410781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, Caro! I do really love the scarf and wore it yesterday. I didn't have time to snap a photo... But I will try to recreate the outfit and get a photo... Or wear a bunch more times and photograph them! :-)</p> <p>I had Kiwigal, and let me just say, there was all kinds of drama going on in the background! I bought a dark pink statement-type necklace (because I thought that deep, saturated colors would fit nicely with your wardrobe and style). I was a day or so late getting to the post office (because I remembered the dates wrong!). At the post office, I was told that most international items were being held up in customs and it was unlikely that it would get there on time. I decided that it was worth it to pay the extra shipping to send it faster, whereupon I was told that I couldn't declare jewelry of any kind (even costume jewelry) on the customs label for express shipping! Then they told me that the computer didn't recognize the zip code I gave them... I told myself not to panic and went home, gift in hand. I verified the zip code, and then weighed all of my options. That's when I decided to put the shipping money into getting a slightly nicer gift and ordered from a New Zealand company that had free shipping. I know that translucent glass is as opposite as one can get from the deeper beautiful colors that you wear, but I thought maybe it would be a nice contrast if you pair it with those darker colors (and to be honest, I think it really is much nicer than what I had initially bought you). I just fell in love with the design and hoped you would like it too! The boutique that I ordered from was beyond wonderful! I emailed them and they assured me that they would gift wrap it, leave my anonymous secret Santa message, and ship it for free - all before the due date. And they delivered. I was so impressed! I hope that it ends up being something that works well with your style and your clothing. :-)</p> <p>I also echo the others in thanking Ornella for the wonderful organizing. This was so much fun!</p> <p>ETA: I just realized that Kiwigal, Caro and I had a whole little gifting circle going on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you#post-1410779 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 04:07:25 +0000 Karie 1410779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much Ornella! I love my plaid tights and can't wait to wear them and the necklace too! I am out of work this week due to eye surgery and then we're off school for two weeks for Christmas break, so it will be a while before I get to snap an outfit&nbsp;pic, but I am already putting an outfit together in my head! The bookmark was so appropriate since I am a reading teacher, and the skin creme will of course come in handy in my cold climate.</p> <p>I was Deb's Secret Santa, and I goofed and signed the card. This was my first year doing SS (last year I had just had foot surgery and the year before I had just joined YLF) and I still should have known better, but I goofed it up anyway.I sent her a pair of silver earrings, which I hope will play nicely with her beautiful style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you#post-1410763 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 03:14:31 +0000 carter 1410763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb! I'm beyond amazed that you found what is probably the last tube on earth of my discontinued lipstick! If you were a boy, I'd give you a big ol Almay "Sugar" smackeroo! Love, love, love.</p> <p>I was Debbie's Secret Santa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you#post-1410749 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 02:31:46 +0000 deb 1410749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>jjsloane, thank you so much for my gifts. You did really well! I ran out of eyebrow pencil last night so the gift card will go toward that and&nbsp;I really needed the tea strainer because I broke my old one. Tea is always good and you are correct about my colors and will put the necklace to use. &nbsp;</p> <p>I was Carter's Secret Santa and had so much fun searching for her lipstick. Love a challenge!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you#post-1410744 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 02:03:33 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1410744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was KL's Secret Santa! She had several Etsy-listed earrings on her wishlist, so I decided to make her some jewelry. I chose to make earrings and necklace using bird charms, because from her clothing and last year's wish list, I thought she liked birds!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-secret-santa-2014-whose-santa-were-you#post-1410742 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 01:56:14 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1410742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>astrid, I got your present! It arrived more than early and I had to be very good and not open it. The earrings are a perfect color. Thank you so much. I will post a picture soon of me wearing them. </p>
