Finally had a chance to sit down and itemize all the gifts from my wonderful Secret Santas! :-)
From Cathy in AZ (Hand Made SS):
-4 Handmade Christmas cards with envelopes, tied together with dark gree ribbon
-a hand sewn blue polka dot fabric holder for plastic grocery bags framed w/ white lace
-a small white sculpy cross w/ blue roses on gold thread with white sculpy beads, kind of like a tiny rosary
-a small elegant plastic lady's fan with red beaded ribbon around the edge, and 2 small fabric roses on either end--decorated on the fan blades with glitter dots, 2 cameos and 2 flowers
-a small embroidery starched canvas piece, with baby blue lace around the edge, a gold ring at top, a 3D white dove and a blue bow with a sculpy blue rose in the center (would be lovely as a tag on a wedding gift or a baby boy christening gift)
Thanks again, Cathy! :-)
******************************* From "Psychic" Dave (RAK'd):
-A lovely hand made Christmas card with a round ornament shadow box on the front
-a small ziploc bag of iridescent embellishments (similar to sequins, but not so shiny) in lg rings, small circles, and multi-colored leaf shapes
-Multi-colored "Loopy Brads" that can be used for lacing or hanging
-1 package "Celestial Charms", 8 pieces of sunfaces, moons and stars
-4 boxes (!) 250 count clear self-adhesive mounting squares (which I desperately needed having run totally out of earlier this week!)
Again, thank you Dave, you're no turkey, you're a prince among scrappers! :*)
**************************************************************** And last but not least, Miss Jacqui!! (Regular SS) :-)
-A beautiful hand-made Christmas card with a 3D paper pieced teddy bear with a Santa hat and a candy cane, framed with 4 corner buttons connected with braided "rope" (embroidery thread)

-1 package self-adhesive "All Boy" themed plastic 'signage' embellishments
-1 package metallic mini-flower brads (100 count)
-1 6X6" pad of "Basic Grey" scrapbook designer papers (36 sheets) which will be great for my heritage sheets as they look 'aged'!

-1 large 12X12" package of "Child" themed double page LOs and Bonus Mini-LOs and Cards Kit by TLC (Top Line Creations) with: vellum sayings, misc. brad embellishments, stickers, chipboard piece, 3 sheets of cream colored cardstock, 1 sheet of navy blue textured cardstock, 4 pages of design paper, and step by step directions on building the LOs!! :-)
Wow. It took me awhile to type all these great gifts! To my Secret Santas, I say thank you and God bless you all for your generosity. Every time I use one of these items, I will remember each of you.
You all really made my Christmas special, I mean that. :*)
Love, Carolyne in TX
