Thanks to Kitkatz for her guidance after she did such a great job last year!

And thank you to paul.karen for offering to take on an extra person - it really helped that you took care of 2 recipients!

JBeany was not my secret Santa, however she sent me a sweet Christmas gift.  I am feasting on Kahlua Fudge.  I am also wearing an a handmade creation necklace. Plus their were earrings to match.  In addition to a small Christmas box and another box she decorated herself and a  tin with the fudge.  Thanks you so much.  Plus a cute card!  I have a pic.  Thank you JBeany!  Through the snow and winter storms your thoughtfulness made it to California.

Okarol was sweet and for Christmas I added an American Flag snowman to my ornament collection. He is sitting with the other snowmen I have out on my display. He will be in the ornaments for next year.  Thanks. And thanks for the box for my collection for my birthday present, too. It sits on my dresser!

Slywalker, I was your Secret Santa.  I thought the pics of Vic and I were enough clues.  Did you get the box and enjoy it?
