Remember that Jan 4 is the last day to order from the Holiday Mini! If you're dying for more of that Night & Day paper or anything else, place an order through my online store!

Another fun thing coming up is the Stampin Addicts New Occasions Mini Blog Hop! It starts Friday, so be sure to check it out!

Merry Merry Christmas

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!
