Slinky-
I did receive my gift and I didn't open it because I wanted to actually wait til Christmas only because I'm new to this and didn't realize I was to open it early
so.....I've opened it and this is what I got:
1-a beautiful handmade ornament card with a personal message inside
2-An Anchor kit with a kitty looking at a goldfish in a fishbowl
3-A beautiful 11 count cream with integrated sparklies in it
4-a 14 count peach colored piece of cloth
5-100% silk strands in pastels (Rainbow Pastels)
6-100% silk strands in beautiful blues (Water Nymphs)

THANK YOU! Can't wait to do it next time!!!!

You're probably right. I expect the postal services are inundated with parcels at this time of year. *she says, drumming her fingers in impatience waiting for a parcel with Xmas gifts in to arrive ...*

** drumming fingers in time with Slinky - I'm not impatient, I'm not impatient -**

Thank you Cross-stitch_Lover. It's so nice to be able to put a user name to the gift! I haven't had a chance to play with my new toys yet...but I'm almost done with mom's Christmas gift, so I will soon!

[Mabel Figworthy]

My Stashmas present arrived today all the way from Australia -- it had a selection of Anchor threads in it plus a hoop. As I'm usually a DMC girl these will be new things to try, there was pearl cotton, soft cotton, stranded cotton, Marlitt rayon and a lovely blue silk -- I didn't know Anchor did silk! The hoop looks unlike the ones I've seen, it has a sort of lip around the top which I think will hold the fabric nice and taut. And there was a postcard with a picture of Melbourne, so I think my Stashmas sender was Grub!

I Googled them immediately but haven't been able to find them yet!

[K1nS]

wowwwww lovely gifts everyone

[grub72]

Im so glad you got your pressie mabel and yes it was me,, i did not know what to get you so i just got those for you , glad you like them.

Lovely gifts everyone. All good things come to those who wait.

Mabel, we have the same exact hoop, even the colour. You are my hoop twin.

I didn't know we could get anchor threads in Australia, although I am on the isolated side so maybe thats why I have never seen them. I always have to convert to DMC. Still, it saves money I suppose.

What lovely gifts!
Ummmm sorry, what does "Stashmas" mean though

[kell]

Stashmas is a swap we do near Xmas but instead of saying Christmas (because not everyone celebrates) we call it Stashmas as we're sending stash to each other.

[Happy Stitcher]

Thank you kell. It's a lovely idea!

[SusanF]

Well the postie has been and gone today and my Stashmas present didn't show, this happened to me last year too so I can't help feeling a bit fed up. Anyway, looking at the list I think this is everyone who still hasn't received their present. If I've got anything wrong, please update it. Maybe our stashmas senders could let Kute Kitty know when our gifts are likely to arrive?

I don't think Slinky has received hers yet either (although the list says she has) and I know k1nS sent Valb's ages ago but I haven't heard if she received it okay.

[Lisa2758]

Well my recipient is on the above list and I know I definitely sent it. I'm very disappointed and I can only hope the person just hasn't been online to acknowledge it.

Following a little detective work, I have discovered that my recipient hasn't posted since November, so maybe she's been too busy to respond.

I haven't received yet.
