Hurray! We finally get to start opening our gifts. Today, I chose to open the package from PatriciaAnne. I have to admit that it has fascinated me since we did the swap. And for good reason! Thank you so much for such a beautiful and clever gift! I can't wait to use it. How about the rest of you? Remember, thanks and hints only until the 24th.

I let Mom pick which to open today and it was from LilacSue. Very Cute!! Mom likes it too.

Lindaj52, glad you like it.

My GD chose the gift from Nylirose to open today. It's perfect! Something I will put to good use. Thanks so much

Opening the gift from LilacSue started my day with a nice gift, how clever. and even the gift tag was nicely done. Thanks.

My day 1 gift was from Catwmn 27. My favorite color and very useful extras. Thank you!

My first gift to open was from Applebetty. It is sooooooo beautiful. Thank you so much.

My first gift was also from Applebetty. Perfect for this time of year and already in use. Thank you.

I didn't participate in this...aren't you gonna show or tell what you got?

Angelac, we wait to actually show and tell until after everyone has opened. We don't want to spoil the surprise for those who haven't opened yet from the same person.

My first day of Christmas gift was also from Catwmn 27. I like both things; the one will be good for the dry winter months.

My second day of Christmas gift was from Karrie Lynn. I love the wrapping paper! And the gift inside is very well needed.

Thanks to both of you!

Sorry girls I have so many pages open on this I forget where I post.

Karrie Lynn thank you for my first a gifty. Oh sorry I think I'm getting a cold.

Oh my gosh Fleur55 I love it. I"ll have to keep a sharp eye on this present my husband might want to use this.

On the 1st day I opened a giftie that didn't have a name, (sorry don't have it w/ me at work), I think it said "secret friend". Any way it is fantastic and very useful, except the cats might enjoy it.
On the 2nd day, can you believe, I plum forgot! Will have to wait until I get home from work.

On the 2nd Day ... I opened a gift from GemsQ. Thank you, it is nice to know that some gifts don't need a tech advisor to use and I can use more than one at a time!

Okay, today's package was from ELY. I love it!!! I also would like to thank her for the little hostess gifts that she sent to Chris and I. Hmmm, I wonder which one I'll open tomorrow.

My second day gift was from Catwmn27. Love it! So many ways to use it.

A super useful gift, over and over again, from Nylirose; and attractive too. Thanks.

Day number 2, and I found Margie's gift in my hands...thanks so much! My GD likes them too.

Today I opened AppleBettys. So very nice. Can surely use it! Thank you!

today I opened my gift from quilterchris! Love it and will start using right away.

LanaR, I really like what you sent! I'm going to PM you.

Last night after midnight I was up so opened one from Motqltr. Will be used in a couple spots that I occupy.

Thank you Ely I think I can pinpoint exactly where I'm going to use this gift.

On the third day of Chr1stmas I opened Applebetty's gift. Love it! My Ad vent wreath loves it too!

Hey, I noticed there aren't that many posts here did some people forget to start opening gifts.

My other thought was when we post pictures on Chr1stmas Day are we showing what we made or what we recieved? It makes more sense to me that we each post what we made,so those who didn't play but want to see what was made will know who made what.

What? No pictures????
Don't you want us to see?
Gosh, I miss looking at pictures.
nuquiltr

nuquilter: no pics to not ruin for the others. I made a similar item but different colors. If the 1st person posts a pic, then everyone else know what they have.
I wonder if ppl are posting on the private thread and not here.
On the 2nd Day, I rec'd a beautiful wall hanging from Angelinamer.
On the 3rd, I opened a very useful item from LanaR. I loved the card and the extra information. I will have to try some of those.

On the 3rd Day... my gift came from Patricia Anne. Totally tea--rific. Handy size and reusable. The wrapping also useful and pretty.
Thank you!!!

Each day starts with opening a gift! Today was from Elsie123 and can say, I need that! and pretty too! Thanks.

My gift today is from Margie. I love them and they went immediately into my collection (yes, I do have a collection of them) and I will use them. Thanks, again.

LindaJ52

Thanks Angelinamoor! I've got just the place for it.

Ely, your gift is so timely for me. Beautiful, and such tiny little stitches, wow. Thanks.

Good morning, everyone!

I was too busy to post yesterday, so I am catching up!

On the third day I opened an adorable gift from Lilac Sue. It so inspired me we did it for the Girl Scout craft last night and was a hit! Thanks so much!

On the 4th day I opened a gift from Nylirose. I will definitely use this (haven't decided if I will take it to work or keep it home) and plan to make refills! Thanks!

On the 4th Day ... my gift was from Ely. Not sure how she made it my favorite color, but am happy to help it flutter into its pointed position. Nice size and shape, too bad I can't say the same for myself since the holiday season started lol.

My 4th day of Chr1stmas gift came from GemsQ.
Beautiful! Those weren't easy to make I'm sure. Thank you so much.

My 4th day is from Ely. Love it and can totally use it!! It is also in my favorite color. Thank you!

My 4th Day gift is from Nylierose. What a clever idea! Thank you so much. They will be used!

LindaJ52

I am guilty as charged. After the snaffoo with one of our swappers, I guess I was sort of bummed out. OH Well, I refuse to let one person spoil my Holidays. I even got brave and opened her gift first. Thank you for the gift. Moving on, I opened Patricia Anne's next and was overwhelmed. I will indeed put it to good use. Nylierose was next and I love it. Thank you both. Today's was from J Lu. It is beautiful and I will use it often, thank you. I will now try to keep up. LOL Quilter Chris.

Hey girls I was just hanging out with my bee girls today. I want to thank Angelinamor for her gift I think I get the picture.

Sorry I did not post yesterday. family party and very busy.
day 3 was from gemsq. very cute and already where it belongs.

Day 4 was from fleur55. I am sure I will have a ripping good time with it. Thanks

This a.m. the 5th day was from LilacSue. Very useful indeed! And so handy always then.

Snow storm knocked out internet yesterday.
5th day is from fluer55. I love it. My fiskars have run away from home. This will perfect for clipping raggy quilts. Haven't opened yet today. Need to get ready for office potluck.
Chris, sorry you were so bummed and glad you're doing better & have opened some.

today's gift is from Margie. I love it.

My GD pulled Quilter Chris's package to open, and we both love them! Thanks so much, for both the present and co-hosting.

On the 5th Day ... my gift was from Quilter Chris. Thank you, they are lovely. You never think of getting them for yourself!!

I opened Maggie's this morning. They are beautiful and already in use. Thank you. I spoke with luvthosequilts this morning and for those with a note to be expecting a gift from her, she is hoping to mail tomorrow the latest Wednesday. She has not started opening her gifties because she wants to be sure hers are gone first. I will be sure to send PM's to all of this year's group in the spring or summer so you can begin to work your gifties for next Christmas LOL. Start thinking ladies. Quilter Chris

Today's gift is from DJillM. Thank you.

LindaJ52

Thank you Margie my cup runneth over there little girl. Very cute.

Today on the 5th day of Chr1stmas I opened LindaJ52's gift. I have to admit I wasn't sure what it was. My sister looked at it and figured out what it was. Very useful! Thank You.

Chris, I've already decided what I will make for next year. Thanks for hosting this. Don't be bummed out, you have done a great job!
