I love them, the turquoisey one especially Thank you secret santa!

Ok, I got this from my secret santa. I'm bowled over.. thank you so much! x

That is lovely! I could guess at a couple of santa's styles there...

They are lovely, not sure I can guess who made them.

Wow Bonnie that bracelet is fab. Love it.

With everyone else opening theirs, I too succumbed to temptation and found a plethora of goodies



I love the shape and colours of the beads and the pendant is simply stunning. The initial is so cool, it's going on my favourite bag; with the photo sideways, it looks like an elephant's head Not sure yet whether to make a necklace with the beads and the pendant together or to use them separately.

Thank you Santa, this is beyond expectation!

Wow, that's a very 'you' kind of parcel, how lovely! Without checking the list I can definitely guess who your santa is.

I'm hopeless at guessing who's who's.
Ooh is that ivy leaf made of clay and I love that clever bail.

Nope, that is a copper leaf!

Copper clay perchance?

Oh I was having fun guessing who had made the presents so far listed but now reading some of the replies I'm confused. Either I'm completely wrong or some folk are sneakily clever.

I think we need some more pictures up so we can make better informed guesses come on chaps, we won't tell santa if you open them early lol

what did I miss then? how did this secret santa work?

Well everyone who signed up got put in a hat, and I pulled the names out. Everyone got a PM stating who they were making for and off they went.
The idea of this thread is to post up pics of what you received so we can guess who made what. I can't play cos I have the list right in front of me, but when we have some more pics people can start making public guesses if they want to.

Thank you for the enlightenment Tinks
great fun, shame I missed it, but there's always next year

Can I have a guess at one yet?

Sorry to take so long to post the photo of my lovely Secret Santa gift, but I have struggled a bit to get any decent photos. I was hoping to get my son to take them, but it wasn't to be. However, in spite of the photos, I think you will all agree that Santa made me something absolutely gorgeous. I am delighted with it. Thank you very much Santa.

I think I might know who made it, but has anyone else got any ideas?

Where are all the rest?!

This is what I got.... isn't it simply gorgeous?! Thank you SECRET SANTA!!




Bea :-)

Wow that's fabulous. What a clever design. Santa has been very busy!

Oh those two glass charms are delightful. They will look great on your bracelets girls.
(I hope I've already expressed my awe at the copper and ivy bracelet previously listed previously cos it's lovely too)

Ashlynn, speaking as a mod, I'm not aware that there are any rules to prevent you from having a guess at which santa is which if you would like to. The only thing I will say is that I hope no one responds with a "Yes, that's right" or "No, that's wrong" just in case anyone that wants to remain secret isn't revealed by a process of elimination.

I'll start off if you like.
I think the Christmas tree charm is Cornish and the chocolate strawberry is Tinker. I thought the ivy leaf bracelet was from Meadmoon but I have since changed my mind.
I still haven't photographed my gift cos I've been very disorganised but I really must get round to it soon.

Yes yes, do guess, that was the idea!!

Ordonata, sorry you're close, but no cigar lol.

Ha ha, well it was fun trying anyway.
I finally got a sunny day free today to take some pics and so here is a shot of the 3 little charms I found in my stocking.

Aren't they lovely?

They're adorable, I'm thinking it must be Pru or Bonnie for those, seeing as they're beaders.
Sorry I still haven't got mine photographed yet d'oh!
Lisa x

I thought of Bonnie didn't think of Pru ( sorry Pru ) umm well for the rest well the lampwork beads I know the styles easily so I'm not telling
Okay I'll guess the rest later. X x

Well I am saying nothing but I will have a few guesses.

I think the semi precious charms may have been made by Odonata and I think that Lisa may be responsible for the turquoise and copper creations. I think Cornish might have made the Christmas tree and that the strawberry could have been made by Mooch.
