I got a lovely Carousel Horse musical figure from Bea. I didn't get into the chat room, both my gifter and giftee were not able to chat. I can't believe I actually waited until yesterday at 7:00pm to open mine. Thanks Bea!!! I hope you are having a wonderful time on your cruise.

I got 3 of my favorite scents from Yankee Candle and a cute warmer for them, I love it! Marg also sent my kids each a small stuffed animal that they fell in love with.

I couldn't go to the chat either. Wanda was my secret santa. She gave me a beautiful Christmas doll on a sled. (Wanda, you are not going to believe this but it looks exactly like our oldest daughter.)

Thank you so much, it is so beautiful Wanda.

I got a beautiful Buddhist wall hanging! It is gorgeous. I got a coffee cup with a picture of the mountains in Portland, Oregon and a postcard with the same picture and a box of chocolates.
I absolutely love my gifts. The wall hanging is already on the wall. It is so beautiful.

Rayanne was my Santa, and she gave me a great collection of wedding scrapbook items (coincidentally, the gift opening ceremony was also on our 24th wedding anniversary LOL), a cute Santa ornament, an ornament from Rylee , a neat magnet about friendship, and a Christmas candle votive about families and Christmas. She also included a really cool pink ornament for Amy (which she promptly placed front and center on the tree).

BeMerry84(Mary) was my secret santa , I was unable to sing up for the chat room ( it's blocked here at work. but I must say her friend's really said it well she has wonderful taste, and I didn't say it in my profile ( at least I dont' recall, but she got me things that I like, truly like. I got a beautiful santa dish towel, a matching tray( that I plan to sue as a spoon rest when I prepare my Christmas meal, a even more beautiful snow globe. And I got a second surprise What I thought was a box of Christmas cards, dd and I sat down to fill them out last night and I heard my daughter yell mom these aren't cards. inside the box where three bath and body items.

Thank you Mary I truly loved everything.
As everyone probaly know from my big mouth, I was Dana's ss. I don't want to tell you all what I gave her, but only say that I hope she liked it.

The basket was lined with snowman material (I love snowmen) and included a snowman ornament, a snowman decorative metal tray, a couple of decorative Christmas kitchen towels and a potholder, two books, one that I have already started!!!, 2 of their homemade candles which are to die for!!!, bath and body works vanilla lotion, and bubble bath and body wash, some more lotion and bubble bath that is more rejuvenating, a wonderful meditation CD, hot cocoa and coffee, a snowman tin of hershey kisses, some floating candles that look like peppermints, a picture frame, and some really cute stationery. WOW!!! I felt so special!!!

Thanks so much Yvonne!

Your welcome Adena. I am glad you liked it. We had a lot of fun assembling it. Do not forget to trim the wicks on the candles after each use---this prevents sooting.
Yvonne
