WOW.....I just received the HUGEST box......it is from the UK so I have some thoughts as to the Secret Santa that sent this.....hmmmm.......I might just wait until our US Thanksgiving to open....something to be thankful for!!  But look at this beauty....awfully tempting.....I know Angeltroll would be in that box in a heartbeat!!

Thank you sweet Santa!  I can't wait!  

Angeltroll and TrollEcat! What an amazing package......how sweet to include the special candle holder from TBD. That is so lovely with all the beautiful candy...(yum!) spread around.....what a fun Santa and that felt bag is adorable!

You did a wonderful job TEcat and a beautiful bead! How funny that you and AT were chatting about beads and then you had her as your partner! AT will have a great time using that bead on a bracelet!

How fun to see what is arriving!

Oh how wonderful, another one arrived

Come on Trollingalong - OPEN the box! You know you want to!!

You know me too well - tbh I didn't even think to save mine for Christmas!! (and I'm glad I didn't!)

I DO know you....and am not surprised you didn't think of saving!! I promise I will open this week because I'm impatient to see who it is!! AND I know there are goodies in there!! (Although I always feel I need to punish myself and not open until my partner receives her parcel from me. )

My package arrived in today's mail.  I have not opened it yet.  I opened the papers that were enclosed in plastic taped to the top of the package to see if I recognized my swap partner's name.  But I don't recognize the name at all.  I know it came from The Netherlands. But that's all I know. Then again, I am not familiar with everyone's "real" name.  I know people more by their avatar or forum name unless we have swapped/traded or bought sold from each other.  I am going to wait until Wednesday to open my package.  I'll be on Thanksgiving break from Wednesday till Monday.  And it will be much more enjoyable for me to open it when I don't feel rushed.  I'll post pictures when I open the box.  The box arrived in great shape.  So I think it is safe to say that it arrived safely.  Pictures to follow.  Thank you Secret Santa 2014.  I'm so glad we had a Secret Santa Swap this year.  I really missed that we did not do it last year.

My package arrived at the weekend only to be whisked away to the post office for safekeeping - shame on me for not being home to accept delivery. I finally managed to pick up yesterday and yes, I have no patience and opened immediately! Pics to follow, I got an amazingly good parcel!

Woooohoo!!! Two pieces of great news today! My swappie received her package (Yes, that was me, Bubbagump! I can't WAIT for you to open it ) and mine arrived too! Thank you, thank you, thank you, dear Beady-Eyed!!

Unfortunately, it was already too dark to take photos today, so I will do so tomorrow, but let me just say...I LOVE my bead! It is one that was on my wish list, but I never hoped or dreamed to receive it in the swap, YOU ARE TOO SWEET!!      

Of course there were some cute and yummy goodies in there too!     Thank you again!

My secret santa package arrived and it is sooooooo AMAZING!!! Although I really wanted to wait until Christmas for opening the box, I was too curious and could not resist.
I am still so overwhelmed by my swappie's generosity and thoughtfulness!
I am going to post pictures of all my goodies and wonderful bead this weekend!!!

A lovely big parcel has arrived from New York!!  I will wait to open it unless my swappie tells me there is something that has to be opened immediately, like chocolate

Yay! So happy they didn't hold it up in customs. There IS chocolate inside but they are individually wrapped so I don't think there is a danger of melting. Don't put it on top of a radiator and you should be fine. I'm impressed that you have such self-control that you didn't open the box immediately! Enjoy! Hope you like the beads and the other little surprises.

I've opened the lovely package on St. Nick's day (no way to wait till christmas ) and I love each and everything.




The bead is just fabulous too
