Secret Sister, 2008!

Good morning? I trust everyone survived yesterday? I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday. Ours was wonderful! Busy, hectic, but wonderful!
One of my favorite parts of the day was finally getting to open my Secret Sister gift! I belong to a private, online group of about 20 women-all stampers, scrapbookers, and paper artists extraordinaire! We have been together for I believe 6 or 7 years now. Every Christmas, we draw names for Secret Sister! Well, my box arrived almost 2 weeks ago, with strict instructions to wait until Christmas! We all agreed to take photos to share with each other, of how pretty the packages were presented, as well as what the contents were. Here is my box-as it looked when I got it-well, not opened, but you know what I mean! Here are all the many beautifully wrapped gifts that were in the box::

Here is my favorite gift, a piece of altered art of my initial! I *LOVE* it! I am going to hang it in my craft room!!

Here is a pic of the rest of my goodies-patterned paper, chipboard, stickers, stickles, Nestabilities, and a QK Squeeze with a complete alphabet and some other dies!! I was completely spoiled!!
My Secret Sister was Lisa Renea, and you can go visit her blog if you click HERE. Thanks, LR for helping make my Christmas a most memorable one! Your generosity and kindness do not go un- noticed!
**Look for more goodies I rec'd yesterday, in more posts over the next few days!!**
