I'm glad you liked everything! I had so much fun picking out everything. And when I saw a picture of one of our favorite hiking spots on the calendar, I just had to get it too (because I'm always curious about what it looks like where every one else lives, so I assume everyone else is too

). It's only 5:30 PM here, so I can't open mine for a while yet.

I will have to say that the owl caused much distress in my house. Little One fell in love with him and got very upset when he was put in the box. I had to promise her that I'd make another one before she calmed down. Now, I just have to make good on my promise....

OOohhh Marilyn, that sounds a wonderful parcel - do find out how to post a pic soon pleaseeeeeeeee.

I too have been thoroughly spoilt. I opened mine around 7.15am this morning then had to wait until now for DD & SIL to get mobile so I could come down here and post a list and picture.

Jessica you said in your lovely card "I had a lot of fun shopping for you" Bless you I am sure I had more fun opening it up.
Beautiful DO Not open until Christmas paper around the outside of the box - on the bottom of the pile, then each present was wrapped in a soft pretty paper too.

A fabulous chart book of 50 Ornaments - charts are large print too -such a help and will be so useful for cards as well as ornaments.

A box of lovely DMC Colour Vareations Thread with 2 charts in the box as well. How did you know I want to do that autumn leaf design and use those particular threads?

A fabulous ornament of ---- wait for it --- - what else but a SQUIRREL - its amazing. Looks as though its made from dried grasses. Where did you find it Jessica? I will devise a way to hang it up so I can catch the seeds/bits of grass but it will go on the tree for sure.

Isn't he so life like and with his little pine cone nut too.

Must see if I can remember how to make it small enough for my avatar.

Jessica you are absolutely amazing and I have had a huge grin on my face ever since I opened it and now writing all about it.

Thank you so much you are a

for sure.

Edited to add - Just showed it to my DD and she said "you are thoroughly spoilt" She loves the Squirrel ornament too.

Happy Stashmas Day! How lucky to be officially ahead of everyone else. Great gifts, Sally. And Marilyn, I hope you get pics up of yours. Sounds wonderful. Can't wait to see what everyone else gets. And it is fun to have a rolling kind of time zones so that we can take the time to enjoy seeing them.

Marilyn, it sounds like you got quite the stash. I really hope you're able to take pics and post them.

Sally, I just love that squirrel.

It's so exciting to get to see the gifts others got. So eager for it to be Dec 1st for those of us in the USA as I really want to see my recipient's reaction.

(And of course I am eager to open my gifts as well.)

Happy Stashmas everyone! Have just opened my gift from Tiffstitch (I am not an early riser).
There is a great selection of hand dyed sample size fabrics in all colors, I am sure they will keep me busy for some time. A reel of Kreinik blending filament of which you can never have too much.
There is a packet of pure maple sugar candy for my sweet tooth and a cute moose bookmark (which my 2yr old grand daughter has already taken as her own). Also a beautiful hand stitched angel ornie for my christmas tree.
Thank you so much Tiffany I

it all.

What lovely, lovely gifts!

What lovely Stashmas gifts everyone has gotten. I posted mine in the other thread so won't repeat (though it certainly was a lovely enough surprise that it probably does deserve repeating). It is almost as much fun to see what a wide variety of fantastic gifts have been received by everyone.

Thank you Dwitt! It has been a great Stashmas.
