Glad you found me out, and hope your cold is on the mend! I was just getting over a cold probably around the time you caught yours! Then pulled/strained a muscle and have been out of commission for a while. So frustrating. It was fun to shop for you and so pleased that you seemed to enjoy everything! Merry Christmas! PS. the mesh bag is a soap holder. ;-)

Oh MY Gosh!!!!
My package arrived today and my secret Santa, Zraipel, went above and beyond and made me feel like a loser Santa! She sent me 3 DVDs... Callanetics Core Assets (number one on my wish list) Mari Winsor Pink Ribbon Pilates, and Ruah Release (with Leah Sarago and Suzanne Bowen!!) Then she went crazy awesome and sent me the most adorable penguin hat with attached mittens, and gorgeous pink scarf with penguins... And to make sure I stay warm while delivering, several sets of hot hands hand warmers and a fantastic, moisture wicking balaclava! I am just speechless and now hubby says there's no need for him to spoil me because my secret Santa did such a great job! Thank you so so much!! I tried to attach a pic but couldn't figure out how.

Cookie, the penguin items sound adorable!
I found a penguin cookie tin for holiday cookies at a local grocery store.

Cookie, I couldn't resist that penguin hat once I saw it I figured it would address two things you were seeking...penguins and warmth!!
I'm so happy you enjoyed the package, and I'm glad you were able to make it into the gift exchange because being your Santa was a lot of fun ETA: Sherry, it's amazing how you don't notice how many penguin things are around at around Christmas time until you're actually looking for penguins, haha!! I don't think I ever noticed until this year.

Thanks to my secret santa Cookie aka Mary! The package arrived Saturday, but I was super busy all weekend and didn't get a chance to check. I waited until today to open it since I was so busy and wanted to enjoy the experience rather than rushing to open everything!
I received a lovely fireman card (I recall others getting the fireman cards in past years, so maybe this is Cookie's signature thing?) In the box I was delighted to unwrap the following things: Jari's Get Ripped Express- looks like we will be getting snow tomorrow so I will try the workouts out since it probably won't be safe for a morning run Some Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Sea Salt caramels (yum!) the bright orange running vest that I wanted! Perfect for visibility and extra warmth for cold weather runs! I live in a very rural area and there are a lot of hunting lands around so bright orange is my favorite!!! A pair of crocheted boot cuffs. I don't have any so they will be a fun winter accessory! (I have struggled to find a boot cuff pattern I like, so if you wouldn't mind sharing the pattern that would be amazing! Did you use the Charisma yarn from Michaels?) Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness in putting a package together for me! Happy Holidays and many blessings to you and your family! |

The boot cuff pattern is one I just sort of spliced together using a couple of ideas from pinterest. The yarn is Red Heart super saver. After finishing projects, I wash them on gentle and dry them in the dryer on low heat so that they are soft and fluffy. (and also to hopefully remove any stray hairs since I shed worse than a cat.) I wanted to do more and get you more stuff but I have a strict rule to not spend more on my secret giftee than what I budget for each of my kids. There were so many cool running things I thought you needed, but I had to stick to the agreed upon budget. For what it's worth, I have tendinitis in my hands and wrists and don't crochet much any more. I pick two small projects each year. This year it was your boot cuffs and baby doll diapers for my granddaughter. :-) I hope you enjoy everything.

I'd really love to know who my SS is. Curiosity is killing me I'd love to formally thank you for your generosity.I can't read the return address otherwise I would send a Thank You note. My hubby is really enjoying the soup cookbook! We've tried several recipes. My other gifts are awesome and I'm enjoying every one! Again thank you so much!
