I have just noticed that my name does not seem to be on the list. I PM'd you when the thread opened, so am not sure what has happened.

I opened a package without thinking about the fact it was probably my very own package (rather than something I ordered for gifts for others) - and found a pretty little magnet that will work great to hold up my little's many "art" works. I'm assuming that this is from my Secret Santa, thanks!
Had fun shopping for my Santee - who has similar gift tastes as myself. Santa's helpers have started the delivery process...hope the recipient likes it as much as I would have liked receiving it.
