I just opened mine! :D  Thank you, Kelly for the absolutely adorable notebook and the very cool and funky ring. I wear a lot of greens, so will have plenty of opportunity to wear it. Thank you again. :D

Now as far as matching up Kelly to her screen name...... ??? is it Phatbeetle.......or Ksand24??

That's from me!  So glad you like them, Fallgal!  :)

I haven't opened mine yet, but will when I get home.  I can't wait.  :D

It's so exciting seeing what everyone's presents are!

I do hope that for phatbeetle & anyone else who may not have received theirs in time - please post on the thread when you do!  That way the party will go on & on...

 ;D

I just had another piece of my fudge with a cuppa.  Mmmmmmm.

Yay Christmas!  [smiley=crown.gif] [smiley=antlers.gif] [smiley=joker.gif] [smiley=party3.gif] [smiley=elf.gif]

Mine hasn't come in yet -but things always take forever to get here.   It may show up today, but if a slip is dropped, I won't be able to pick it up from post office/courier depot until the weekend. 

Same here.

Thank you, historyenne! A fantastic Meat Free Monday cookbook! I can't wait to start using it. It's organized by season, so I can start with the winter menus on Friday (also my first day off work, so I'll actually have time!) I had to leave most of my cookbooks back in the States, so this is especially useful since I'm starting to get bored of my usual dinners.

 Thank you! :D

Santa!! I have absolutely no idea who you are but I think I love you!! Hotel Chocolat!! YUM!! And two gorgeous tree ornaments. And, best of all, the gorgeous Susan Bradley paper label tape. That is RIGHT up my street!

 [smiley=smitten.gif] [smiley=smitten.gif] [smiley=smitten.gif]

Who are you?!?!?!?

I am glad you liked it.  :) I found the labels at a craft fair in London the day after names were picked. It was calling your name... I mean who else would like something that looks like packing tape at first glance? I bought a roll too. Looks great with pinking shears to finish off the edges. The ceramics from an artist in Peckham. Did it survive the post?

Thank you Santa for my gift. It was a magnetic book mark and handmade brooch from Folksy.

Ok, I admit I opened it as soon as it came, because that's how I roll...  [smiley=blush.gif] 

Birds of a feather Mrs R. I did wait the next morning though. I mean, I could have been hit by a bus and never got to enjoy my gift and yes, it has even been worn since I got it.

Yes, the ceramic ornament made it perfectly safely and is already on my tree. It's absolutely lovely. The label tape is GENIUS. I want more!!

Thank you so much for my wonderful presents!  :-*
