Did Everyone receive their gift from Secret Santa's?

16 years ago

Well I'm back home and need to know about our SS exchange. I'm sorry that I had to work and was not able to spend Christmas with my family or my family here on the gardenweb. I'm just wondering if everyone has got their gifts from their Secret Santa's.

If not,email me and I will look into it.

I must say that I had a very blessed Christmas and I have a great many of you to thank for that. I got brug cuttings from Chena, Kristy, and several other people. My mailbox was filled with seeds people shared with me, lots of plants, some candy, jelly from Knotts Farms in California, some gloves, and just different little things from all the wonderful people here.

It just goes to show that it doesn't matter how much you give, you can never outgive the good lord up above who spreads joy, peace, and love through all of us to one another.

Tomorrow I'll be having Christmas with my son and grandchildren. Then maybe I can get some rest.

Thank each and everyone of you for making my Christmas and others here on the Gardenweb that much more enjoyable.

Best Regards from ya'lls garden buddy in East Texas,

Marian

Thanks so much for organizing this Marian. You did a great job and we all had fun. Unfortunately the post office screwed up what I sent and I didn't get delivery confirmation so I have no idea where it ended up. I will definitely get confirmation and maybe even insurance when I resend it! Kylie and Jim did either of you get the stuff I sent?

Ho! Ho! Ho! Secret Santa Gift: A Rustic Birdhouse

Thank you for your kindness. We enjoyed making this birdhouse and will have to make some more! We have boxes and boxes of rustic treasures in the garage which Kirk's brother gave us. (Kirk's brother is a bigger collector than Kirk! Runs in the family! Tee hee!) The horseshoe is attached with short, rustic nails. None of the nails went all the way through the wood. Kirk attached the back with screws so the back can be taken off and the house can be cleaned. Thank you again. Carol
