Wow! Ginger- Bullock2US is my SS & boy did she stuff that box! What fun. I won't list everything but there are 10 packs of 5" squares plus 4 FQ. I love scrap quilts so these are great! An applique pattern for Iris which is my favorite flower & I was just thinking about making a large quilt with them after Christmas. Things for the kitchen- 2 towels, a crocheted dish cloth, soap with it's own little apron, a super potholder to take out large things, a candle and food too. A fun pack of spud cards- Ginger is in Idaho. My husband just laughed when he saw my goodies spread out to take pictures. For sewing she made me a thread catcher with pincushion- which I had been meaning to make for myself but never have & a tissues holder for my purse. A lovely Christmas quilt pattern & a book of patterns . And more.
Thank you Ginger, you are just too kind & my husband says you're very creative.[ATTACH=CONFIG]501683[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]501684[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]501685[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]501690[/ATTACH]

I have already PM'd my Secret Santa (CJR) and thanked her but was unable to post photos to the thread until this evening due to a much enjoyed piano recital for my sons earlier.

So here are pictures of my amazing, wonderful, everything perfectly made, or selected, just for me gifts that I received today.

I was in absolute shock at how well she got to know me by a few random posts I had made. My children were amazed as well, they wanted to know who told her about all of the things that I loved!

LOVE IT!

CJR blessed me so much with every gift she sent. I am so grateful for her generosity. Not just in money spent...but her time and creativity, plus the care she took in choosing the things she made and sent. Wow. I was so surprised.
She wrapped everything and it felt like Christmas as I opened them all. (My kids helped!) There were festive strings of beads, too, by my youngest daughter absconded with them before I took pictures!

I have been waiting so long to open my pkg, and believe it or not, I actually forgot what day it was today. It wasn't until I read my emails and open a PM from the person who received a pkg from me that I remembered. Just opened everything up and I love all the gifts from Vitality. Will post pictures tomorrow after I get everything set up for the camera. This is a fun swap, can't wait till next Christmas. Now that I know about this swap, I will definitely be collecting throughout the year.

Same here, Quilty-Louise. No word from mine either. I keep reminding myself that everyone has hectic schedules this time of year. Not looking for accolades, I just want to hear if I did a good job capturing her "favorites!" My SS did such a wonderful job on mine!

Gorgeous fat quarters from the Downton Abbey series I will save them for something really special. Lovely French general jelly roll Petite Odile very pretty.
