Hello, Secret Elves! I went back to the pages, and pages, and pages (!!) of emails sent/received with the names, addresses and match-ups of all of us. I do not see that anyone was left without an exchange partner. So, just wondering, did all of you get an ornament? Or are some still waiting? I would like to know, so that I can "gently nudge" or at least inquire if someone for some reason cannot participate, afterall. That way we at least know it wasn't lost in the mail . It is never far from my mind that the reason we are here on these boards is indeed BC~ and our best laid plans don't always pan out. We may not be feeling well, emotionally or physically, or both for that matter.

So Secret Sisters~ let me know if you did NOT get an ornament! And, if any of you need to "opt out"~ even a week before Christmas, let me know...I have other Secret Elves busy in the workshop waiting from word from me! :-)

Hugs,
Chen♥

    Mine arrived yesterday
    from Canada. It is a beautiful pink ribbon all glittery. Not a cancer-type ribbon but a package style ribbon and more hot pink. I was so excited that it came I actually opened it in the post office. Hope they appreciate the pink "fairy dust" left behind as we all know that glittery things leave a little behind. Since I have a small apt and small tree it takes center stage this year along with my angel collection. A fitting combination. Thanks if I'm reading the card right goes to Tasha! It's a great addition to my ornaments. Have a great Christmas. Lola

    I got mine!
    A beautiful angel from MyTurnNow, which I'm finally putting on my tree today! I also received a PM from Cat64 that she received the ornament I sent, so you can check us off your list!

    Thanks again for putting this together - it was a wonderful idea that really helped me to get in the Christmas spirit this year and to connect even more closely with two new Sisters.

    Merry Christmas!

    I happen to remember who your Ornament Elf is, and honestly I haven't seen her posting for some time now, so I will send her an email and double check.

    Chen, if there are secret santa "orphans," I would love to send out another ornament. I had so much fun with the first one. It could even get there before Christmas if you can let me know soon. Thanks again for inventing and upholding this wonderful tradition!

    I hope that in future years, I will be able to participate. Being in the Government Witness Protection Program is no fun!

    Even though I couldn't participate in the ornament exchange, I want to thank you Claudia for putting smiles on these wonderful women's faces by implementing this.

    You are a dear ♥



    Love, Jeanne ♥

    Next time, dear Jeanne, just
    Next time, dear Jeanne, just throw caution to the wind and participate! I think you are already in jeopardy by TELLING us you are in the Witness Protection Program, and posting your picture! If you are going to be in trouble for something, or (yikes) danger~ at least you would have gotten an ornament to remember us by! :-)

    The one I sent should have
    The one I sent should have been there no later than yesterday. There is a good reason why it was late getting out but not going to explain now.

    Haven't received any yet.

    I didn't mind the wait. It was worth it. Just being able to touch something that gives us a physical connection to each other is wonderful. But I still enjoy all the internet hugs. I know it's silly but I feel them. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas. Lola
