April, you devil! You WERE teasing me on the "wild rumpus" thread! I suspected as much!! Thank you SO MUCH for my very thoughtful and beautiful gift, and most especially for your sweet note! XOXO

If only the temp would go up 10 degrees so I could wear my fab tights!!!

I'd already guessed my Santa...but Vani, congrats on guessing me accurately! I just saw your guess last last night, but decided to hold out until today. I'm so delighted taht you like your necklace, and thank you for the lovely note you sent me on Elfster today.

Theresa

Well I'm surprised!!!! You sneaky thing Megan!!!

I guess a post mark from Sydney would have given it away!!

But, now I can say a proper thank you to you!! I've worn my necklace most days already! So THANK YOU MEGAN!!!

crwilson

I thought it was you Kirstie! (Katiepea). Thank you so much again for the mirror and necklace. I wore it again today and got compliments from strangers.

Katiepea

Yay I'm so glad you like it crwilson! (I guess the customs declaration gave it away in the first instance. :-))

I am actually really relieved that you like the necklace - I felt like I was taking a gamble given that it was different from some of your suggestions. However, I read Angie's post on what style of necklaces suit fuller bustlines and I thought - why not? It's great that you've had such wonderful feedback!

My little 4 year old helped me choose the mirror - he was very taken with it.

I haven't looked at Megan's reveal post to see who my Elfster is. When the pressie arrives I'll then look - I love surprises! Come on Australia Post - I'm waaaaiiiittttiiingggg!!!!!

April

Hee hee -- yes, MaryK, it was me. I'm so glad you like the belt, and I truly hope it fits.

Wow, Megan, that's quite a list! I hadn't realized how many participants there were. Well done you for organizing this whole adventure.

Jenava

AAAAH! Haha, Maya, I ALMOST guessed you, but the Jersey return address threw me off. (-:

I love the scarf; the color is perfect for me. I wore it all weekend and now it's covered in cat hair...LOL.

Lisa

Thanks for organizing this. Sorry Sveta, I am not used to shipping international. Your gift was sent on Nov 29th. I was told it would take 10 days. Apparently it takes longer than this. I'm keeping an eye out for when you receive your gift.

Maya

I'm so glad you like the scarf Jenava! Since you don't have too many scarves I didn't want to get you anything too statement-y and fashion forward, but also not completely plain and boring. It was fun shopping for you, since your color preferences are so different from my own

(and everything I own, including things that have never come into contact with my kitty, have cat hair on them)

Lisa/Sveta, things are getting held up at customs and delayed because of the holiday season. I'm sure everyone's prezzies will arrive in good time.

Maya, it's perfect. I'm so pleased. You did a great job!

April, the belt definitely fits! I already have an outfit cooked up for it for Friday --work, dinner, and the ballet -- so stay tuned for photos!

Thanks for the input Maya, it would appear I need to mail a lot farther in advance than 2 weeks for a gift, who knew!

Scarlet

Well, Lisa already knew it was me because I pretty much screwed up every aspect of the Secret Santa game this year. Her prezzie is on the way and I hope at the very least it turns out to be a good pick.

Celia! you tricky, thoughtful lady. I could not guess it was you! Your gift arrived in plenty of time, and having misremembered our instructions I immediately tore it open. It was such a nice surprise after a long day at work and a long commute. Then I checked the forum and read I should not have opened it already, so I didn't take photos. I will do so when the dust settles in January. Thanks again!

celia

Scarlet ,glad you enjoyed it.I was afraid that a present sent from Canada wouldn't arrive there on time,so I tried the german Mango (and I don't speak a word of german )
But I'm portuguese ,hence the return adress you saw

Vani thank you very much again for my presents, I truly love them and plan to give them lots of use.

Megan, thank you for the wondreful idea and all the work you put in it.
