Secret Santa Arrives!

My secret Santa package arrived and what a fun box my Santa put together for me! I love it all!! It was so much fun opening up that box to find.....

......this. A box full of wrapped little gifts and a cute card!! I barely had the sense to go get my camera.
Just look at these goodies. I am so appreciative of each and every one!!!!

warm fuzzy socks (that I needed) and a cute little "S" ornaments......

which promptly went on my tree!!

An ADORABLE mug rug (which she made herself), snowman mug and hot chocolate and a new quilting book. The mug rug went promptly on my desk. I love it!!!


Bath Salts, Spruce candle and a bag of my favorite candy! Let me say, the bath salts are amazing.....they were used with a few hours!!! A nice calming bath soak does a stressed out body a lot of good.

My secret Santa also made me a little basket out of Christmas fabrics. She could never know how I will treasure this, as I have not had much luck in making these or bags, and I am frustrated with myself to say the least. I guess I need to take a class. I absolutely love it....and well, knew exactly where it was going.....now it is a very unconventional way to use this......but .......

This sweet bag is sitting in my guest bath holding extra rolls of tissue. Sure beats looking at an old ugly roll of tissue paper sitting on the bowl. It sits with the sweet little box Deb, from Deb's Vintage Soul sent me a few years ago on this very swap. It will be treasured along with my box and used each and every year, and I will always remember how my secret Santa made me feel special.

Thank you again Secret Santa!! I appreciate everything you sent me!! Merry Christmas!!

    Your Santa apparently likes to sew as well as you. She really came through with very nice, useful surprises. You need to make the little baskets as gifts. That is a neat idea. Relax.

    Secret Santas are the best, aren't they Suzanne? I love it that she gauged your tastes so accurately and sent you stuff you would love. So nice to see that little box again and I am very happy you still enjoy it.

    What a great assortment of goodies. Be sure and put those Reeses in the freezer. They're so good frozen. Have you figured out who your Secret Santa is yet? :)

    How sweet of your Secret Santa to send you such nice and useful goodies. Just posted pictures of our new dachshund, Rusty. We rescued him on Wednesday and he is a wonderful addition to our family.

Sometimes someone says something really small, and it's like it fits into this empty space in your heart!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts here, they really mean a lot to me!

Suzanne
