I put my tree up at work on November 1st. I haven't had a chance to do mine at home, though. Hopefully, this weekend.

Awww, man. I missed the signup for the Secret Santa. Can't wait to see what everyone gets this year!

You are welcome. And the Louie's is amazing! Thank you to my Secret Santa!!!

Yes! I absolutely love snowmen. Even collect snowman mugs, lol.

Look at all of the snowmen!!!

I received my Secret Santa gift yesterday. And it was definitely needed and much appreciated after the week I have had. (Medical testing and health scares.) I love my gift! There was a cute wicker basket filled with all sorts of goodies! There were 3 super cute cross stitch kits (Tinkerbell, a hedgehog, and a sewing one), a Starbucks hot cocoa mix, Lindor milk chocolate truffles (YUM!), a wonderful smelling Yankee votive candle, and a Bath & Body Works Winter Candy Apple lotion and fragrance mist. I am in heaven with my gift. Thank you so much, Secret Santa! You definitely made my day! (I am attaching a grainy iPad photo until I can add a better one.)

Very nice! I love that yarn. It works up well. When it comes to crocheting, if you have any trouble, you can always look on YouTube. I have done it multiple times, lol.

How is everyone doing with their shopping?

My info has been sent. Super excited!

I have a bunch of Disney and Precious Moments ornaments. I also like to make my own ornaments, and try to make at least 1 new one each year.

I always put the tree up on November 1st, lol. I want the tree to be up as long as possible.

When my boys were younger, we took made snowmen ornaments using their hands and glass ball ornaments. I painted their hands white, and then had them carefully place their palms on the bottom of each ornament, and then the fingers on the sides. You paints the "fingers" to look like snowmen. They ended up super cute. And we gave them out as gifts to family. Here is a picture I found of ones that are similar to the ones we made: http://nightowlcorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/handprint-snowman-ornament.jpg

Same here.

That is what I thought when I saw your name on the package. So, I checked my email from last year, lol.

Thank you, Momlori!

It was my Secret Santa package! And my Secret Santa is AWESOME!!! I received some super cute snowman earrings, a snowman ornament, a snowman mug (I collect them!), Bath & Body Works lotion, shower gel and hand sanitizer, the yummiest Bath & Body Works candle (!!!!), and the world's softest snowmn blanket. OMG!!! It is all amazing! I am so happy! It totally made my day! Thank you so much, Lori!!!

I picked up a box from the post office today. I am pretty sure if was from my Secret Santa, but will not be able to open it until I get home from work tonight.

I totally forgot about the Campbell's soup one: And the Smucker's one with the boys delivering jelly....but I can't find it on YouTube.

This is still $9.99!!!

My SS gift has been sent out, and tracking info PM'd.

Merry Christmas to us, lol.

My boys are 7 and 10. We usually buy their teachers some items from Bath and Body Works....like hand sanitizes, small candles, and/or lotions. Nothing strong scented, though. Sometimes we check the Hallmark store. And usually, the boys want to get them some kind of chocolate. We have also done the cookie mixes in the jar.

Can you purchase the free locket that they picture? I am looking online (by product number), and cannot find it listed.

I am waiting for Amazon (in hopes of getting some games for cheap), and JoAnn's.
