Have to say the Green will blend in well with the tree:) Either way I love them and will now add them both to my office decor. Thank you, SS!!!!


PS: The Bucs are still better.

[KMS]

Who was your SS?!? I wanna know, I wanna know!

[RevMatty]

Who was your SS?!? I wanna know, I wanna know!
She sent it from a dealer as to confuse me, but I have my hunches.

[FFC]

Ooooo! I have an idea who it may have been too! Those are great by the way!!! :snide:

[Nekochanpurr]

OH wow, those are cute!! :D

[Jacklynn]

I started to create a picture thread earlier but my internet went down for a few hours :)

I got mine in the mail today! I was so excited and pretty impressed that my SS not only had bought it but also already sent it. Looks like I need to get a move on, on buying and sending mine to my SS!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE mine! It is seriously perfect. I can't think of anything else that could have been better. It is an ornament of a Yorkie and it has our male Yorkie's name engraved in it! So thoughtful IMO hehe. I'm going to go to the company's website and order one for our new dog that we just adopted today. There was no note or anything and it was shipped directly through me from a company so I have no clue who to thank! Whoever sent me this lovely ornament should come clean ;)

Here it is!

[WebLady]

Cool stuff; my buddy should get hers soon too!

[Ninedays9]

Wow, this makes me feel behind! I haven't been to the mall yet to look, but I'm hoping to at some point this weekend... possibly when I go dress shopping on Saturday.

The ones posted so far are good!

I know, my SS beat me to the punch. Usaually I have mine bought and shipped by now. However I'm still debating on a couple oranaments I've seen for my Elf, which one to send I don't know. Ugggghhhhh!!! Now I'm racking my brain between the two perfect gifts for her.

[KMS]

Adorable ornament Jacklynn!

[bichonlvr]

Those are BOTH great!!!!!

[soontobemrs]

Brandi - I GOT IT!!!!!!! It was delivered last night and the first piece of mail I recieved with my new last name so it was extra exciting..haha. Thank you so much, it's perfect and I love it! As soon as I find the camera I will post a pic.

[Jacklynn]

Oh Good I know who sent it now :) I was really starting to wonder :)

I love it! Thanks so much, it is perfect

[Danielle9608]

LOL, I didn't even know it had been sent yet, because I never got an email saying it was. Thought it might have been a good idea to check here first before I asked. :)

[Danielle9608]

Oh and your welcome :)

You are very welcome. I'm glad you like it. I thought it was cute b/c it lights up too (hehe - doesn't take much to get me excited).

[Ninedays9]

Just curious... is it the Avon one? That one is cute.

[Jacobs_Girl]

Thank you WBandMe!!! I received the ornament today and its sooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!! It actually been sitting in the front office for a few days and I never got a notice there was a package for me. I finally went there to give them some paperwork and they said I had a package. :irked:

Thank you its cute! I love it!

http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z303/b3m3rchic/photo.jpg

[WBandMe]

[Krimangel]

these are all very cute, I love this exchange!

[amisteratwisterandme]

You are very welcome. I'm glad you like it. I thought it was cute b/c it lights up too (hehe - doesn't take much to get me excited).

So I admit that my 7 year old nephew and I fought over it! I become a kid when I see Rudolph stuff.:bbredface:

[NOTKT]

For some reason, I was lucky enough to get 3 ornaments! They are all PERFECT and amazing!

This one if for my love of baking :

OK, here are my pics ...

My buddy wrapped my gift inside the shipping box; I didn't know what it was until I saw "WebLady" on the tag ;)

Here is the pretty wrapped box -

Thanks again buddy! I didn't see a name on the box, but I cheated and found out it was Jannalynn 'amisteratwisterandme' :frogg: So thanks to you!!

[KMS]

Those are beautiful on your tree, Brandi!

[WebLady]

[WebLady]

huh? did I miss something? Or did you mean to say someone else's name? lol
Yeah, I think she meant Janalynn ;)

[Jacklynn]

haha I was really confused and going back to search and see if I had posted something, especially since I know I hadn't even sent out my buddy's gift at that point :)

[FFC]

Jacklynn YOU ROCK!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! It's soooo perfect and Matt loves it too!!!!! I'm going to display it year round :) :) :)

Now I just gotta get my SS to post a pic of her ornament - I'm dying to see how it turned out!!

Apologies in advance for the crappy cell phone pic... can't find Matt's camera right now *doh*

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a176/Ford4x4Chik27/MoreWedding/ORNAMENT.jpg

[SerendipityCrafts]

Jacklynn YOU ROCK!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! It's soooo perfect and Matt loves it too!!!!! I'm going to display it year round :) :) :)

[NOTKT]

Very cute!

[Jacklynn]

Jacklynn YOU ROCK!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! It's soooo perfect and Matt loves it too!!!!! I'm going to display it year round :) :) :)


Enter text here.Jacklynn, I'm rolling my eyes at the whole "wasn't perfect" comment - it IS PERFECT!!!!!!

Matt and I love it, not to mention, I've actually seen that truck in real life! If it helps to visualize the actual truck, the tires alone are as tall, if not taller than me, and I can walk under the truck easily - and I'm 5'11 :)

Thank you thank you thank you! :happy:

holy cow that was fast lol... I sent it out Monday! I figured FL to CA near the holidays would take longer than that, but I'm glad it made it!

I'm SOOOO glad you liked it! I searched stinking everywhere online, and everywhere I could think of looking for something perfect. I was trying to find a 4x4 mudding truck with a couple in it with the truck all muddy or something... haha if they do make one, I couldn't find it lol.I was a *little* worried that you might not like it, because I wasn't quite sure if Monster trucks fit your list as well.

How fun that you have actually seen that truck in real life!

Glad you like it :)

[Danielle9608]

Haha! It's me!!! :) I'm glad you liked everything! I really wanted to buy myself the exact ornaments I got you...I'm so jealous! And the last gifts you got are murano glass snowman necklace and earrings-you did get those, right? I doubt you will ever wear them, but they were just so cute! Now, you have to take some pics and show everyone! :)

I got my ornaments!! Thank you so much neebelung. They are all super cute! DH likes them too. Although I will admit I am a little cofused by the hockey theme :o

YAY! I'm glad they got there so quick. :lol: Um, because it was one of the things you had on your wishlist:

(from your Elfster wishlist)

I love unusual ornaments that reflect my interests and hobbies, like hockey and atving. Favorite color is pink.


(I really actually wanted to find something ATV related, but that's harder than it would seem to be to find!!!)

[LovingLife]

Oh, I didnt write that? My favorite color is green! Haha.

Nevertheless, I think they absolutely adorable! :) Thank you again!

(from your Elfster wishlist)

I love unusual ornaments that reflect my interests and hobbies, like hockey and atving. Favorite color is pink.

It's on my list twice too! And I have no idea how it got there???? Very weird.

[WebLady]

Oh, I didnt write that? My favorite color is green! Haha.

Nevertheless, I think they absolutely adorable! :) Thank you again!



It's on my list twice too! And I have no idea how it got there???? Very weird.Weird; maybe your wish list somehow got mixed up with someone else's *shrug* You should be able to delete all the wish lists and start over for next time.

[LovingLife]

That could be possible. I dont mind either way...they are super cute. :)

[neebelung]

Oh, I didnt write that? My favorite color is green! Haha.

Nevertheless, I think they absolutely adorable! :) Thank you again!



It's on my list twice too! And I have no idea how it got there???? Very weird.
:bbeek: Oh LMAO!!!!!!!! Ok, now that's both weird AND funny... I can imagine (since you're NOT apparently a hockey fan) how weird that must've been to get hockey ornaments.... LOL!!!!!!!!

Very, very strange...

Well so Elfster had a little hiccup -- I'm glad I didn't get you something obnoxiously pink then!!!!! :huh:

[LovingLife]

hahaha, i was pulling them out and i was looking at them like hmm...what did i write?? LOL!

I really dont mind pink though :) But whether they were hockey or not they are super cute. I really really like the hersheys one!

[NOTKT]

That's too funny!

[southern*belle*]

I got mine!! It's sooooo cute!!! As soon as I get batteries for my camera I'm going to post a pic!!!!!!

Thanks, Jeanie!!!

Ladies, I have this same response from my SS.... and I think it is in fact her response - because we discussed it back and forth a few times. Wierd that it got put on someone else's list though! :ooh:

"I love unusual ornaments that reflect my interests and hobbies, like hockey and atving. Favorite color is pink."

Just to be sure, I think we should do a shoutout to whoever originally said this... who are ya? :happy:

[NOTKT]

No me. But I did pick out an ornament for my SS with her comments. I really hope she wrote hers!!

[MrsDM]

I got mine!! It's sooooo cute!!! As soon as I get batteries for my camera I'm going to post a pic!!!!!!

Thanks, Jeanie!!!


YEY!!! I'm soo glad you liked it!!!!

[southern*belle*]

YEY!!! I'm soo glad you liked it!!!!


I loved it! Even josh said it was beautiful! I can't wait to hang it on my tree! (which I have to put up tonight!!) It's perfect!!!

[MrsDM]

I loved it! Even josh said it was beautiful! I can't wait to hang it on my tree! (which I have to put up tonight!!) It's perfect!!!

I'm so glad to hear! I was having a hard time because I knew you liked sparkley and glitter and blue, so I wanted to try and incorporate it into your ornament with your wedding. That was the closest I could get, but I thought the ornament itself was just too pretty to pass up!

[caligal85]

Hey that was me! And I have no idea how it got spread around. I was like, man people really liked my answer. Didn't know we all had so much in common. :geek:

I just have to say that I've had my ornament for weeks and I love it, I just haven't taken a picture of the darn thing yet. What is my issue?!!?

[saltyveruca]

Oh my goodness...SerendipityCrafts really outdid herself!!!

I got not one but FIVE trinkets to hang on the tree and around our home. One for the exchange, one for me and my husband, and one for each of our three fur babies. I love them!!

We just bought a tree tonight, so photos of them on there will be forthcoming.

Thank you sooooooo much! I know you put a lot of work into this!

[EarlyBird]

thank you so much heather- ninedays.. i looove my ornament. i will post pics tomorrow sometime. im so excited to put it up on our tree!!! i love it !!!!!!!!

I am glad you like them.

P.S. I held out as long as I could to see if you had got a new home because I was dying to make a first house ornament. You were going to be my "excuse" for making one of my own LOL

[derricksdoll]

I'm still waiting on mine....I'm so anxious!

[Ninedays9]

thank you so much heather- ninedays.. i looove my ornament. i will post pics tomorrow sometime. im so excited to put it up on our tree!!! i love it !!!!!!!!

Yay!! You got it really fast! I thought we'd sent it on Friday, but it was actually Saturday... so it only took one business day. I'm glad you like it! :)

I'm dyin to see how it turned out.... now that I've disclosed myself :ooh: I can tell you why the dresses are only one color - the template for designing the ornament only allows one color for the dresses - and it automatically chooses the flower colors. I tried to get it as close to your colors as possible! Now you gotta take pics and show it to me :happy: :happy:

[saltyveruca]

I am glad you like them.

P.S. I held out as long as I could to see if you had got a new home because I was dying to make a first house ornament. You were going to be my "excuse" for making one of my own LOL

LOL We probably won't be getting in until after the holidays, although I wish we could be in it right now!

[SerendipityCrafts]

I am so excited for you. I know, the waiting is the hardest part!

[EarlyBird]

[Qtpie]

I haven't heard anything or recieved anything. I wonder whats happeneing?

[WebLady]

Everyone was suppose to have their packages sent out by the 8th. Is there anyone who still hasn't sent their package?

I will post the list of who had who in the next week or so.

Mine hasn't gone out yet...I've been talking with my recipient though so she hasn't expected it yet. Hopefully this won't give me away, although I think she might know already anyway! :cloppy:

Cool; so you have been talking via Elfster then? Just wondering since we had been having trouble with the site lately.

------

If you haven't gotten your package out at the point I'd not worry with the secret and just make sure to get with your buddy; let them know you haven't forgotten about them and are going to make it right.

[Qtpie]

I got mine. Thank you so much "Lovinglife" I LOVE my ornament. It fits so perfectly with my wedding theme and my colors.

The picture is a bit blurry but it is a beautiful sand dollar.
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd144/baileycosmo/christmasornament003.jpg

[LovingLife]

Wow!!!! That was fast, but I am glad you like it.

It's harder than you would think to find a beach themed ornament!

It actually looks a little different then the one I picked out, but I really like it.

[NOTKT]

My SS should have received hers by now!

[Ninedays9]

ninedays.. i also wanted to make mention that your wrapping was incredible... so me..disney and pink and sparkly !!!!!!! thank you.. i ave pics of the ornment to take otnight

Hehe, I was debating on using the paper I used, which isn't Christmas paper or the red Charlie Brown paper we'll be using on our presents this year. I thought the Disney stuff fit better with the theme. When I was done with everything (wrapping and card), Eddie looked at it and said "You're putting way too much effort into this." But I had fun with it... and you like it, so it was worth it.

[mitch]

Thta just proves what a loving caring person You are. :)

You probably do every gift with love and care. But a typical Male doesn't notice it until it's for someone He doesn't know :rofl:

[mitch]

I've got to go to the Post Office after work today. A Parcel arrived Yesterday and was "Too Big For The Letter Box" :bbeek:

I'm not sure if it's SS or just something i bought off eBay.

[derricksdoll]

OMG!! Yay I got mine last night!!! It's so perfect...it's 5am right now but I'll take a pic tonight and post it! I have a mini hot pink chrismas tree that only has Hello Kitty ornaments on it so it'll be perfect!!! I'm still trying to pinpoint who it's from though!!

It was eBay.

But i haven't opened it. DH is gonna wrap it for Me for Christmas. I know what it is and have seen it in a picture. But not in reality. So it's a nice surprise for Myself.

*Thinking aloud* Funny how DH is always at work and i have to buy Myself a Christmas Present coz He never has the time. :rofl:

[RevMatty]

LOL!!! Sounds like me, I keep buying myself things Gina has planned to get me for Christmas. She hates me right about now.

VALERIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :)

Thank you SO much for the Christmas goodies!!! Oh my Gosh, you have no idea how perfect those are for me, and I absolutely adore them. Seriously, they match our theme SO well (Hubby was amazed/impressed, too!!!).

So Tigger had to help me unwrap them....

Now here's a couple pics of our existing Christmas decor, just so you can see how perfectly these things go with our stuff!

We have these glittery springy balls.... (and you can see the colors of our stockings there)

And these I just found this year...
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b247/neebelung/Christmas%202008/OW%20Ornament%20Exchange/ChristmasDecor2008018.jpg

We have these little shelves mounted on the wall over our mantle, with teesy Christmas trees with LED lights, so the "Naughty" and "Nice" look awesome up there (and "Wish" is now hung between our Christmas stockings)

Thank you again!!!!! I love them all!

[candars]

Here are my much awaited super cute pics!!! I love SNOWMEN!!!! Thank you again!
How cute are these??????
I am glad you like them! :) They are called snowbuddies if anybody is interested in them. I'm gonna buy myself some, too! At some places they are pretty expensive, but I searched and searched and found them for a great price here: http://www.mad-mountain.com/index.php?searchStr=snowbuddies&_a=viewCat
Some of them are sold out right now, but I'm sure they'll be back in stock after Christmas. I think I'm gonna start myself a collection of these! They're so cute!

[KMS]

Awe, the ornament photographed well, Mitch!! :D

[MrsDM]

I got my ornament today!! Thanks Sara! Its perfect and soo pretty!! I will post pics hopefully this weekend sometime, my computer is acting up!!!

[vicky_vicky]

I mailed my pack today, I want to say I am sorry for being sooo late. but I didnt forget! I hope my buddy will get it in 3-4 days. I sent it with priority mail and as some women from here advised, I took a photo of my package ready to go.

Still no sign of my Secret Santa though:(

[saltyveruca]

Mine went out today!! Man the post office was nuts. Thank goodness for the APC machine. :bbeek:

Okay, so I was your secret santa (You guessed right, sorry I didn't have time to give more clues, etc) but I bought if off ebay and had it directly shipped to you twice. After I hadn't heard from you after a few weeks regarding your gift, I asked the seller and she sent it again. I don't know what to do!

I've asked her for a tracking number a few days ago, but she hasn't emailed me back, and I know I took a risk by doing it this way, but shipping to where you live was already going to cost a lot shipping direct, and I spet over the limit anyway so I didn't want to pay double shipping. She has a good reputation on there, so maybe it will still arrive.

[LadyDante]

I got my lovely ornament. Thank you so much Amber. It's perfect.
Hugs. Hope things get better for you and I pray for a Christmas miracle for you hun.

I'm so glad you like it. It just kind of jumped into my cart, so I knew it was meant to be.

I want my SS to post her ornament! The seller shipped it directly to her, let's see it!

[mitch]

I want my SS to post her ornament! The seller shipped it directly to her, let's see it!

I haven't seen a picture of what i bought yet either. (Also shipped direct). But My SS does have a Christmas time Wedding to organise so i understand She is busy.
Just have to be patient. :)

[NOTKT]

Yes, indeed. I now understand why. :(

[SerendipityCrafts]

Thank you SS! My exchange gift arrived today :) - it's not an ornament but a lovely door hanger for our new home.

Whomever my SS is - she lives in California, her first initial is A (couldn't read the last name of the signature) and I think she got crafty and made this herself (???)

Thanks again!

Fess up SS ... who are you my sweets?

Oh my god !!!

I got it today, its the best thing ever!! Totally awesome!:o:o

Oh what a relief!!! I've been so worried about it! The seller said that if you by chance got two, if you could just mark the second one "Return to Sender" she would appreciate it since she shipped it twice.

I'm so glad you liked it! I stressed about finding one I thought you would like!

[bichonlvr]

Not me, but I DID mail mine to Canada!!!!

My SS recipient should keep her eye on the mailbox tomorrow! USPS said it would take about that long to get there.

Yo're welcome My Sweet. I'm glad you like it. I was a bit worried, since I ain't as artistically inclined as you are :)
Btw, I thought the paper that it was wrapped in would give a hint.... or cause problems in the customs.... since it's from a gun catalog :D

Btw, the lower part is actually a frame, so you can put your favorite photo or picture in it :D

[RevMatty]

Great job ladies. And again Thanks goes out to my SS.

Now to figure out my evil plan for next year!!!!!!! MwwwaaaHaaa HA!


And sorry Meggy, had to torment you again, Candars paid me well to do so. :)

Ahhhhhh so that is what the worry was. Funny, I didn't even notice the stuffing but I will have to go back and have a look before it goes out for recycling. Customs rarely open packages ... just the suspicious looking ones and or the smelly ones :rofl:

I was already thinking that a mirror would look nice in the oval frame part :)

Thanks again!

[Qtpie]

I haven't seen my partner post a picture of her ornament either. I was hoping to see a picture of it.

Sorry!! Everything's super crazy right now...we're in the midst of moving, plus I'm graduating today actually....I will soon I promise...we didn't even put up a tree this year cause everything's so crazy!

[PGDesigns]

Jessica, I LOVE it! It arrived this morning, and it's perfect. I think FH has a camera on him here at work (our packages are delivered to work), so I'll post pics shortly!

Thank you so much! (Thanks for the Lifesavers, too! :))

I know, my SS beat me to the punch. Usaually I have mine bought and shipped by now. However I'm still debating on a couple oranaments I've seen for my Elf, which one to send I don't know. Ugggghhhhh!!! Now I'm racking my brain between the two perfect gifts for her.
And you certainly sent the perfect gift!! Thank you soooo much!! It's amazing!

[PGDesigns]

Sorry, I'm just now getting around to uploading the pics from FH's camera. I love that you were able to incorporate one of our engagement pictures, Jessica. The picture really doesn't do it justice! I couldn't get a picture without either a reflection of the camera or one of the over head lights at work.

Thank you Vicky! I will post a picture tonight. I haven't got a chance to download it from my camera.

[vicky_vicky]

Thank you Vicky! I will post a picture tonight. I haven't got a chance to download it from my camera.

Yay! you got it! I was so anxious because you hadnt said anything yet. :)

Yay! What a great photo (and a great photo in a photo :winktongue:). I gave up on trying to take photos of them myself and handed the camera to my husband. Haha. Anyway, again, I am sooo glad you like it!

[KMS]

More lovely ornaments ladies!!

[WebLady]

Anyone who has still not gotten anything and has not heard from their buddy, please PM me and let me know so I can make notes.

[KMS]

Amanda, thank you so much! I was just complaining to Chad about how we neglected to get an ornament to commemorate our first married Christmas and then I get the adorable "Our Christmas Together" Mickey & Minnie ornament delivered to my door today. It really completed our Christmas.

I really REALLY wanted to have your names put on it. But Disney kept pushing back the date it would be finished by and finally told me that they were backed up until the end of Jan. on orders. I even bought the pens to do it with and asked a friend who is really artistic to do it, but our schedules just never matched up so I finally just had to send it!

I couldn't decide between that one and a just married one... but I'm glad you like it! Again.... I am really so very sorry it was late but I wanted so badly to have your names on it!

[candars]

I got mine!!! :) It's perfect! I will post pics as soon as possible. Thank you so much, Vana!!! You're the best! :D

[WebLady]

So it looks like we just have one person that still hasn't gotten anything; right?

[Ninedays9]

I got a surprise package in the mail today and wanted to say...

Thank you very, very, very much, Elizabeth!!! That was so incredibly sweet of you!


She noticed I didn't get an ornament and sent me one. It's one of her personalized ornaments with our names and our date on it. Very cute! :) :) :)

[SerendipityCrafts]

You are more than welcome :)

[MrsDM]

WHAT?! You didn't get yours?? Seriously? I sent it at the beginning of December, and it was never returned or anyting.

I haven't been on here in a while, so I had no clue. :( I have to try to track down the tracking # to see what the heck happened.

Nope, I didn't get it. That really, really stinks if it got lost (because of the time and money you spent to get and send it). What kind of package was it (box, envelope)? I checked the mail most days in December (and others checked the other days), and there were lots of packages, but they were always for Eddie's mom. I should've sent you a message, but I didn't ever see you online on here. :(

[Jenna5366]

It was in a small-ish box. I think I've found the right tracking number, written down in my old day timer. I'll check it out and get back to you.

Ok… so after a long fight with Canada Post, I have found your ornament. I guess I messed up something in your address, and by the time it was returned to the Calgary sorting station, they couldn’t read my address to return it. So they held on to it, in case someone wanted to claim it. You should see the box. Thankfully, the ornament is ok, but the box and packaging I had it in is just chewed up. It looks like someone stomped on it. :( Anyways, Heather, if you PM me your address again, I can re-send it to you… for next Christmas, I guess.

I’m really sorry about this. :(
