Okay, Secret Santa moderators....you're REALLY going to have to have a talk with my Secret Santa. I am not sure she understood the directions for this swap. She was supposed to use my Wishlist to pick SOME of the things to get for me....not ALL of them! Oh my goodness, my Santa was Shaundra (StereoXGirl) and she was WAY too generous. I just hope her Santa spoils her as much as she spoiled me because she deserves it!

First of all, each item was individually wrapped -- wow! It was like Christmas morning opening each of those treasures. Here's what she sent:

A huge bottle of Aquolina Pink Sugar body spritz, which I tried immediately (have been wanting to try this and DH & I are already big fans!)

A set of 4 Bare Escentuals baby Buxom Diamond lip glosses (again, have been wanting to try any BE gloss)

A Sonia Kashuk pink powder brush, something I've been coveting at Target (sooo soft and fluffy and it's PINK!)

A pretty black silky scarf with colorful polka dots (I didn't have any silky scarves, only functional winter ones)

And to top all that off, a star-shaped mirror and a sheet of star-shaped scrapbooking stickers

Shaundra, you shouldn't have....but I'm so glad you did! Your username is appropriate, StereoXGirl, because YOU ROCK!

[Added 11-30-08] Here is a photo of me wearing my new scarf, blush applied with my new brush, one of my new lip glosses, standing by my new mirror, and wearing the Pink Sugar (wish you could smell me!)

lol! Yay!!! I'm glad you're enjoying everything!

I thought it might take longer to get there because of Thanksgiving, but I guess not! lol!

Happy Holidays!

That's for sure. One other great thing that's happened because of this swap the past 2 years is that I've made new friends, both the persons I received from and the persons I sent to. I'm still in regular contact with them, especially Susan and Marisol, my past 2 Santas. I hope to stay in touch with Shaundra and with ???? (the person who'll be receiving the package that left the P.O. today, headed west). I wish the same for everyone here -- great stuff, new friends, and fun besides! Keeping my fingers crossed that we have NO flakers, NO lost packages, NO problems of any kind, only happy people!

 

[pinksugar]

Ikmail, me too! I'm going to feel somewhat responsible if we do

Nah, won't be your fault; you and Bec did all you could do. But I have faith that everyone will follow through (I just wish I had the same amount of faith in the U.S. Postal System....okay, please don't flame me if you work for the USPO or someone you know does, I have 2 relatives and a best friend who do, but stuff still happens and things get lost, and even they admit that!)
Go little packages, go! Stay on track! Find your way to the MuTers they belong to!
