Secret Elf Gifts 2009--Day 12

Today I found out that my Secret Elf is . . . .
{drum roll, please}

Trina!
Thank you so much, my dear friend! What a tremendous amount of thought, energy, and talent you put into all the gifts!

Today Trina sent a wonderful llama!!!, a beautiful decorated notebook, another wonderful card, and 3 of those beautiful flowers! It's all so perfect! Thank you for making this such a special Christmas! Sending a big virtual hug your way!

Secret Elf Gifts 2009--Day 11

I'm so sad the Secret Elf days are coming to an end! But tomorrow, I get to find out for sure who my wonderful Elf is! Today, my Elf was extremely generous!

She gave me this beautiful Mother's Day card, and a lovely gift card  holder! Inside was a gift card to World Market! It's one of my favorite places! My Elf has really been watching and listening to what I love! It touches my heart to know that she cares so much! Thank you, Elf!

Secret Elf Gifts 2009--Day 10

Day 10 already??? This has been so fun!

Look what my elfie made for me today! 

I love it! The colors just make me smile! And it's bee-yoo-ti-ful! There was so much stuff inside, I had a hard time fitting it all in the photo:

Many, many die cuts that I don't have! In pretty shimmery white and lots of other wonderful colors, too! And And a gorgeous thank you card, and a little magnetic container of the mini clips from Stampin up! More decorated clips and another adorable little pen! I {heart} office supplies, and this gift is just fabulous! Thank you so much, Christmas Elf!

Now I'm off to pet my wonderful presents!

Secret Elf Gifts 2009--Day 9

Just look at this gorgeous tin! It's a gift all by itself! I adore it!

And then, inside:

It's like my elf packaged up my entire wish list! She included 2 cards this time--I'm going to have a year's worth of lovely cards! Sage Shadow Grosgrain (one I didn't have yet!), the white Fleurettes (which I hadn't indulged in yet, either!), 2 Stampin Up window stickers (which I've been wanting *forever*), a Stampin Up logo case (perfect for my business cards!), a snail refill, Multi glue, sticky strip, and dimensionals! You all know how much I use all those adhesives! 

Christmas elf, I hope you're reading this! I love *everything*! Thank you for being so generous and thoughtful!

Secret Elf Gifts 2009--Day 8

It is very humbling to have a secret elf! She put so much thought and effort and time into all my gifts! Even though I'm not entirely sure who she is yet (I have a pretty good guess!), my love for her has increased as I've seen everything she put into these gifts!

Today, my elf gave me this lovely, lovely decorated tin, and inside is a wonderful stamp set! Thank you so much! I love it!

Secret Elf Gifts 2009--Day 7

Sorry this is so late! I've been gone all day!

This is such a thoughtful gift! These beautiful, alterable frames are enough for  my whole family! And she cut out letters for each person in my family, too! So sweet! And I love the card, too! Christmas Elf, you are the best! This is soooooooooooo sweet!

Secret Elf Gifts 2009--Day 6

And here is what's inside!

ATG tapes! I can *always* use those! What a thoughtful gift! Thank you, Christmas Elf! You're the best!
