My SS was Jenni Benni....I received some cocoa (yum ), chalks (I can't wait to try out), "Tim" Gears, glitter Cameos, Blue (my fav) Flowers, "Smart Style" stamps and the most adorable note pad and pen (cute idea)!
Thanks so much Jenni for all the fun things to play with!

And Thanks, Christy for hosting; how fun is this????

Merry Christmas to all and those you hold dear

My wonderful box was from Monica and she really did go overboard but I'm loving it. I will have photos to follow later but some of the wonderful items included gorgeous Christmas paper, a great stamp set of Tim's that I don't have, liquid pearls, stickles, goodies, wonderful, wonderful christmas ornaments that she and her niece made. There is more but you just have to see it when I post the photos later.

You're welcome, Cheryl!! I had a blast looking for goodies when I was at convention! Happy crafting.

You should have seen the complete disaster that was my crafting area while we were working on those ornaments... glitter and Luminarte Primary Elements powders were everywhere!! Unfortunately, I was too busy helping to clean up to get any pictures.

I will get pictures of them on the tree in the next couple of days. I also love the other little ornament. So very many goodies.

I couldn't wait to get home from work and open my package from Cheryl Henderson. (Just a little PSA - DO NOT go to the grocery store today unless you absolutely have to - it was insane).

OK, now back to business. Cheryl, thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful gifts. I love them all.

First picture: Two bottles of Distress Stains - I can't wait to try them! A Godiva chocolate Reindeer lollipop - he'll be lucky if he makes it until tomorrow (chocolate is a food group, you know). Prima rub ons and Prima stamps with bling, and 4 beautiful collage sheets.

Second picture: A Michelle Ward spiral bound gate fold House Book Kit in my favorite colors. I took a picture of it open so you can see some of the cool pages, but there is so much more to it. I just love it and am already thinking about what I want to put in it.

Last picture: A gorgeous holiday wall hanging with my initial on it. This will have a special place on my wall and will NOT be put away when the holidays are over. It's beautiful!

I just opened my wonderful box from Rachelle!
I don't know where to start

photo #1 is: 6-pack of superfine glitter, 2 large flowers in 2 of my favorite colors, Jolee frames, vintage flower stickers, homemade paper piece, K&Co tags, metal frames, laser cut corners and a CD of vintage postcard images.

photo #2 is: vintage jewelry pieces from her stash that are from the 1940's-1970's. Love these


photo #3 is a package of things she bought at a craft show, including a fabric flower project.

Rachelle, thanks so much for my wonderful package.

I've been drooling over the outside of my box for several days now and was so excited to dive in!!

Opening the box


My beautiful Christmas card from Pat!


gorgeous wall hanging she made... the picture does not do it justice! It's already hanging up.


One of my favorite treats: salty popcorn and chocolate chips!

Glad you are enjoying your box Hope. I had fun filling it up. I can't remember if I said in my note that the vintage postcard images are mostly from my DH's great-grandmother's collection that I scanned into the computer.

[Monica]

Inside the box... look at all that yummy goodness!!


Are these not to die for? Vintage postcards! I'm seeing a new piece of wall art using these...


books to alter and canvas to make wall art! (I'm doing the happy dance again while typing)


Sheets of self-adhesive paper... I'm thinking it's ducktape sheets... ain't it cool?!?!


This is the point where DH said "there's MORE??" and I just smiled....
Aren't these yummy papers? I love the Lost and Found papers from MME and that G45 Christmas paper... and did you all see the PURPLE paper??... yummy!


Pat.... DH is threatening to take back some of my presents, as he thinks I've gotten enough! Thank you so much!!

And Christy... thank you so much for hosting!

I'm so glad you like your surprise package, Sue. I had a BLAST putting it together for you...and Michelle Ward was so helpful and considerate to work with. Merry, Merry Christmas!!

(If anyone is interested, she will customize her "House Book Kits" for you ).

I went to her blog and saw her house book. It's beautiful.
I'm going to love doing this project. I'm also going to be ordering some of her stamps.

I was just looking at all the vintage images on the CD. There are some really great images on there. Thanks so much again.
