raven has a good point. I can also help if you start to have names stack up. I like shopping. I am sure I can find time to put something together. :D

Thanks. We'll see what happens.

I agree with all of you. I had somewhat of a difficult person to shop for not a lot of information but I loved the challenge and of course went over the budget but I love making someone smile by receiving a simple gift. You can count me in as an elf if needed for any of the exchanges. I don't do the cards because I honestly don't have the time. I hope it all works out!

I received the greatest Hallmark Keepsake Ornament from my favorite Christmas movie "A Christmas Story". I am thrilled - thank you so much. I had already watched the movie before Thanksgiving and will be watching it more and more as the season moves along. This is my first Christmas Story ornament and I really love it :)

Many, many thanks to my Secret Santa, Ben! The flash drives will be put to good use very soon. I received the package on Saturday and am sorry for not posting sooner.

Just got my ornament package.... thanks a bunch to my OE person! The pair of ornaments I received are like mini pillows, each the size of my palm - one snowflake shaped and the other a regular ornament shape. These rustic looking, outdoorsy ornaments (which have a pine needle/cone/berry trim on top and twine loop for hanging) are a PERFECT match for the wreath I just made for our door. Also included were cranberry shimmer shower gel and body mist, a pouf and two packages of holiday coffee. Since the coffee is for a coffee maker and I don't have one... I guess I'll have to talk to DH about getting one! :D

 

The ornaments are going on the tree, as are the coffees, and I'm sure DD will snatch up the bath items when she gets home from school. Thanks again for a very thoughtful package! :gdthankyou:

So glad to see you may not need as many elves as you thought! I found this thread late (my lurking tendencies failed me) so I couldn't get involved this year, but I'll be looking for it next year! What fun! :holiday16

I finally took pictures of my ornaments.

 

The box is so nice and pretty I had to take a pic of that also. I love the santa ornament but I must say the S is my favorite. It's so fancy. :giggle:

 

Thank you so much. :gdhug1:

Mine came today too! I got a cute pink john deere license plate, a smaller green one, a hershey bar and some star bucks hot cocoa. Thanks a lot Secret Santa, I"m excited to get the license plates up on the wall! My daughter has already confiscated the hot cocoa lol. I did take a picture but something is wrong with my picture program on here so I will upload to hubby's computer when I get a chance. Thanks again :)

I received mine last week while I was out of town. Was a nice welcome home after a rough week. Received some cool puzzles, my favorite candy - Whoppers, a cranberry candle that smells lovely, and two gift bags for my girls (how sweet of my SS to include them!). So after we get our tree and get it decorated, I will sneak them under there for them to wake up to, so we can practice for Christmas! :) Thanks to my awesome Santa!

 

I also forgot to mention a card game for the family to play, which we played this last weekend at my sister's 40th birthday party. Everyone loved it, and some playing cards and a keychain of my fav team, the Denver Broncos! My girls woke up Sat morning to their little presents under the tree, and they got coloring books and crayons. Perfect timing for our 2 hour roadtrip. Thanks again SS, for spoiling all of us!

Just a quick note that I'll take pictures and post of my received ornament exchange. WAY NICE for sure.

 

ALSO - in my mail today is a CARD EXCHANGE card for Caitlin Nickel in MN (how the heck it ended up in SE Georgia, down by the Swamp?) from Tashay Clayton in DE. I will be putting it back in at Post Office a little bit later today.

Well, like I said in my PM, I think the 3rd is an acceptable date. It gives possible elves time to shop for their SS if anyone flakes out.

 

And I think you did a great job as well!

AGREED!!!! The 3rd is a good date because by the time you figure out who is not going to ship and get an elf, there is little time left.

 

And I also agree you did an awesome job!! Unfortunately, some people just flake out no matter who is organizing and what the rules are :( Nothing anyone can do about it
