Mine arrived this morning, yes a Sunday delivery - that was a real surprise too  ;D

My SS has a great sense of humour, is from Victoria and I can't wait to find out which one of my friends you are.  I have to be honest, I was going to make you wait to see this picture as long as you made me wait for the present but I just couldn't do it.  I will probably open it before the 23rd, it depends how my willpower goes - for the time being though it will stay unopened.  Thank you for your lovely words to us both in the card.

In case you can't read the front of the card I have taken a close up - love it  :D :-* :-* :-*

Here is the beautiful mug from Emme. As suggested I shall remember all my Australian friends every time I use this cup. Thank you Marie very much.


And here is the huge pile of wonderful gifts from Amy. Tea towels, oven gloves, brilliant boot socks, cheerful fridge magnets, tons of toffee, a pictorial guide to Albany and a hand made card.


Thank you Amy very much, you have been far TOO generous, but I appreciate it all very much and the family have also been cheered by all the kindness and generosity on here. Using all these things will bring me good cheer every time I use them and see them around my home.  
Thanks again to everyone for everything

Thank you so much for my SS pressies, and the kids both loved the lollies too. :) I am very lucky, to have received so much. Thankyou

I was just eating a piece of chocolate and the urge to open my SS pressie was too strong to resist. It's a beautiful little pottery chooken and is so sweet and rustic. SS said Henny Penny (yes, I've named her already) can either go inside or outside. Love it to pieces SS and thank you so much  :-* :-* :-*  I was going to open the card on the 23rd, but all resolve just went out the door  :D  I wonder who you are...

Well, I'm SO relieved it arrived more or less safely! Happy Christmas and a still happier new year!


Being from afar and the need for customs to know all, I know my SS - thank you to the wonderful Adrianna xx

I was so happy last night after finishing work for the year and being on holidays for two weeks, that I celebrated by opening my SS presents.

I love them, thank you SS!
I got a Italian desserts cookbook and a beautiful blue (Indian?) wrap. It is so lovely and soft and my favourite colour. Thanks again xx

I opened my present this morning - and I absolutely love it!  Thank you SS!  I received a beautiful purple crystal that looks and feels just gorgeous (and will be going with me to work to sit on my desk), and a little fabric bag made out of a christmas fabric, which held a bag of my favourite tea (chai tea) and a wonderful little poem typed out on card and attached to it ....... I think it is just so lovely!   I have to confess though, that I have lost the post bag that the gift came in that had my SS mobile phone number on it ... so I cant SMS or ring to say a special thank you in person.  So please - let me know who you are at some stage so I can say a huge thank you  :-* :-* :-*
