2011 Secret Santa OPENING DAY!!

So they were lil horse cookies - I thought it was you but didnt want to be wrong!  Good stalking as that stuff is SPOT on!  Beau needed the bigger kong as the lil one is a joke now ;-)

thank you SO much

Actually, sorry, one was a dog (for Beau). So that may have confused things a bit.

Glad you like them.

Thank you Santa. I intended to wait, really I did, I mean four days unopened is good for me. I was sad my other parcels hadn't arrived yet and knew this surprise would cheer me up!

Waiting is overrated... 

The button brooch from Fat Ma http://www.folksy.com/shops/fatmajewellery was delightful and adorned my coat all day. I love looking at all the buttons and imagining their previous history. You definitely must have been watching when I nearly bought the same lavender Nellie's Patch soap http://www.nelliespatch.co.uk/ last month. I couldn't decide between Rose Geranium and Lavender so I walked away with neither. 

Glad that you were able to fight through all the tape to open it!  And that you liked these selections.  It was great finding that palm oil free soap maker -- there might be an orangutan out there having a better Christmas for it! 

Thanks Mrs Robinson!! It was perfect and I am glad you could appreciate my lack of self-control. 

I only just got round to opening mine (I was at work all day), but I'm very pleased with my Belgian chocolate-y goodies !!

Thank you, Secret Santa (not sure who you are yet though)!

That would be me.  From my very fave chocolate shop. Enjoy!

Ooh, thank you !!

I love that chocolate shop too - I was in Belgium for two Easter weekends (in 2005 and 2007) and we bought our Easter Eggs and other chocolate goodies from there .

Great! Merry Chirstmas!

Just got home from work and opened mine to find what I have been wanting for soooo long.....!!!! The Doggy Bone Cookbook AND the schnauzer cookie cutter  Chary, I can't thank you enough (and my dog thanks you and all the dogs that will be getting homemade dog biscuits and the recipes look edible for humans, so the hubby may thank you as well!!). Oh, and thank you for the notepad, soap and ornament,,its all wonderful! xx b

I'm so glad you like it!! xxx

Who hasn't gotten a gift yet?

I know I've got mine, my boyfriend picked it up for me at the Post Office and it's awaiting my return for opening once I get back to the UK early next week.  I will post back then, but just wanted to make sure everyone has gotten theirs this year?

Thanks so much Santa for the gorgeous lunch tote from my Amazon wish list!  Now, who are you?

Ahh, that would be me   
It's a bit of a story as to why I got you that- I have had an increasing obsession with those really nice lunch fancy totes, but I could never justify it to myself to buy one, as I have two perfectly good ones to use that aren't fancy.  So I thought I would just buy one for another person instead. I hope you like it!   



Sarahjoyhappy, thank you so much for my gift!!  3 wee bottles of Bruichladdich whisky!   Trust me, those won't go to waste. I love whisky, especially Islay Whisky!  Wheeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do! Thanks! I always just stick everything into one of those reusable shopping totes from Whole Foods or whatever and it's really less than ideal. I'm glad to have a real lunch tote and a fancy one at that!

Yay!! Glad you liked it! 

Am I the only one that doesn't know who their Santa is?  I am a bit slow at times.

I don't know either! All I know is they're in the states.

SO sorry for the late response. I have had a hard time getting back here. (trouble with the site at work). The books are great! I'm really enjoying the Practical Wedding one! Thanks so much!!

NoT- Glad you are enjoying the cookbook and the peeler. I love Rachel Ray. I would have one of each of her gadgets if I had room (or the need!)
