The rules were simple - send at least 2 items (i sent three but 2 was the min) to your selected Santee while you wait anxiously for the postman to deliver your surprises.
I've received my first item - a little 'believe' vase filled with chocolate kisses. No wrapping, note or other clues were were the box.
I was excited to show you what I sent out until I realized - doh - that would spoil the surprise. Not the most pointy star on on the tree am I? So how about a good old fashioned guess? Who do you think I have? Hop over to some of the other santas logs to check out their booty and take a guess at who might have sent it.
4 men 1 lady *** bryn alexandra *** emilyaclark
house of smiths *** the inspired room
isabella and max rooms *** la dolce vita
making it lovely *** you stir me *** thrifty decor chick
tenjune *** lovely little details ***
young house love *** pure style home *** miss mustard seed

Thanks so much for organizing this! It was lots of fun (although I was a little late sending my second gift!).
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!,
Emily
you know...there is a mathmatical way to do this, but I teach English. Dammit. It does sound like lots of fun, though, and if I had friends? I would do something exactly like it.

ReplyDeleteI didn't get a chance to post about the boot ornament and reindeer booties I got, but I'm still guessing... I would love it if when this is all over we could share our packaging~ as I see that my giftee hasn't figured out that her SS is ME! Is that bad? Would it spoil the whole point in having a SS? Who says we have to play by the rules;) Thanks for putting this all together~ it was so much fun!
ReplyDelete*If my giftee is reading this here's a lil hint~ your 2nd gift is scheduled to arrive tomorrow!

I only have one guess and that's that you are YHL's secret santa. Only b/c you said you sent three things and they received three ornaments in their gift box. Of course I guess the box counts as one gift too but...oh well. That's my guess!
