2020 Secret Sister swap - almost Christmas!

[nchoney]

So - Farley has her package too. Do we want to wait, though, for Keitha to receive her gift? I'm ok with waiting. We can even open them after Christmas.

[nchoney]

Let's plan to open our gifts on Christmas day unless Keitha's arrives before then.

[pamcook]

Sounds good to me!

[nchoney]

I brought my package with me to Peggy's house so I'll be opening it in the morning!!

[pamcook]

Okay. I’ll open mine first thing when I wake up.

[Keitha]

Presumably Canada Post still has my package, which I will open and share as soon as it arrives in the coming days. Meanwhile I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else received when you have a minute to post here. Sorry to have held everyone up.
Merry Christmas!

Oh no Keitha! I was hoping for a Christmas miracle.

Debi is my Secret Sister this year. She hooked me up with blending tools, paint brushes, art alchemy Sparks in three gorgeous colors, a little stand for a blending sponge, and most treasured, the Christmas shadow box. She suggested I could make other designs to switch out which is a brilliant idea of course. All of it will bring me hours of fun! Thank you again Debi!

Terrific gift Pam! That paper is so cute, I wouldn't have wanted to open the packages.
Debi - love the shadow box, and what a great idea to swap out the display.

My Secret Sister is Keitha and she did an awesome job!! She stamped the tissue paper wrapping, so I was careful when opening. She got me an assortment of Tonic shimmer powders and some distress watercolor papers. And she made the coolest beach-themed little scrapbook. It’s gorgeous!!

Thanks for everything!!

Keitha, please check your PM today,

Farley

[paddlegal]

PamC thank you!!! My blackout bullet journal awaits my scribbles. I just hope I can do your lovely gifts justice in my journal. The bird ornament is on the tree. Charley, Leigh Ann and I all ooohed over it. Your hand-twisted twine is fantastic and I will use it with pleasure. The card stock patterned pad is beautiful and I am not familiar with this company. Thank you for the lovely gifts and BTW, the coffee beans are nearly gone, LOL. (Not being wrapped it was put into use immediately)

Happy Christmas,
Farley

[pamcook]

I’m looking forward to seeing how you use them. When your other gifts arrive, it’ll be like Christmas again!

The woman who made the ornament was the sweetest vendor at the show. She was thrilled that her little bird was to fly across country.

Tomorrow morning I’m heading to Bean Traders as soon as I get out of bed. Their coffees are amazing and they always have a nice assortment of vegan pastries

Um, what other gifts? We are under CA “house arrest” orders for now. Covid is getting worse here so I’m not going anywhere in public. Glad you are doing well and can get out. Bean Trader sounds delightful.

[pamcook]

Farley, part of your gift is still MIA. I gave up on it and reordered from a different place to ship directly to you. Maybe you’ll get it before summer?

[Keitha]

Covid is wreaking havoc with so many plans.
My Secret Sister was Farley. She thoughtfully decided to send me a gift certificate from an LSS - but Canada Post couldn't even manage to get a regular envelope here in a timely fashion. However, Farley took the time away from her family yesterday to send me a virtual copy of the certificate, and I'll enjoy shopping online as Ontario has just gone into lockdown for a month. Thank you!
