SS AW & Reveal Thread

FutureMrsTR · December 2011

I finally got my package from the post office! My SS was Midge and I got an Amazon gift card and an adorable set of coasters that look like books

I csn't post pics from my phone, but trust me, it's awesome.

Now you go

annakb8 · December 2011

I have book coasters too! I love them.

I posted an AW a while ago but I got a Diet Coke ornament, an infinity scarf, and orange tree seeds. I'm pretty sure they were from LDY. I love how she worked in our Florida connection with the orange stuff

I received my present from DJ. She gave me a four-pack of notepads in various sizes, and a necklace/earring set with butterflies.

Thank you, DJ! I love butterflies, and H has been listening to me whine about running out of decent notepads. Great gift!

I got these awesome Earbud Earmuffs from American Eagle. Special was my SS and I

my gift!

FutureMrsFezz · December 2011

Habs was my SS! I got some awesome soap and a pretty tea light! ♥

Habs2Hart · December 2011

Mine apparently went in the mail yesterday, so I don't know when I'll get it.

Fezz - I'm glad you like it! I wanted the candle to be a bit reminiscent from where I live to throw in some Canadian for you!

achiduck · December 2011

MrsTR got me awesome scented candles, a really pretty candle holder and a star ornament that is gracing the top of our tree this year.

MattsPenguin · December 2011

Adamar got me some BicBands (headbands) for running and made me a super cute wreath.

ETA: the wreath

ahhhitsshannyn · December 2011

Fezz is awesome and got me all sorts of goodies, a cookbook, apron, doggie treats, cat toys, a card, and some super cute Buddha statues. I love her.

specialk84 · December 2011

MK, I'm glad you like it! I was debating between the earmuffs and the cowl, but Nordstrom sold out of the teal you picked out.

I may be picking up some earmuffs for myself. Those were cute.

LDYGTR13 · December 2011

I'm so glad you like it, Anna - I won't lie, I asked like 8 people if they thought those were good gifts - eventhough everyone said yes, I was still paranoid

I HEART YOU!

And I dont have my SS gift yet, but I'm super excited to get it!

MRSBJS · December 2011

Baystate got me ~ and she got me some delicious Godive peppermint bark, a snickerdoodle cookie kit, the softest warmest pink socks EVER and a beautiful winter hat with sparkles on it!

I LOVE it all!!!

ski2play · December 2011

I do not have my SS gift yet either but must admit I am very excited about it coming.

I just sent mine out last week to my SS so not sure that they got it yet, It was going all the way across the country! Snail Mail!

baystateapple · December 2011

I posted mine a while back. MK gave me a HUGE box of goodies, caramel popcorn, chocolate coated pretzels, all sorts of deliciousness that H and I demolished

Thanks MK!

MattsPenguin · December 2011

Babe - It sounds like you're having fun in MA for Christmas! I'll wave at you and BJ's on Friday as we drive out the pike to my mom's house!

adamar15 · December 2011

MuSu got me an AWESOME Harry Potter necklace:

It's a snitch!

And I got a huge bag of Reese's pieces:

H has been helping me eat them. I keep finding the bag open. True fact: I used to have a cat named Reese's pieces.

MattsPenguin · December 2011

Oh, Adamar, those Reese Pieces are calling to me through the screen! I used to get Reese Pieces and popcorn at the movie theater. Put 'em together and it's an amazing salty sweet snack for the movies. LOVE THOSE THINGS!

adamar15 · December 2011

That sounds awesome, MP. Have you tried out the bic bands? I'm curious if they work as well as they say they do. I think we might have the same kind of hair, and headbands never stay on my head.

MattsPenguin · December 2011

I've run in them twice now. They haven't fallen off at all, but I feel like they're sliding back. I think that they are just sitting in an awkward spot on my head. I might just have to get used to it.

But they look awesome and seriously haven't budged. I might just be paranoid. I do have really silky hair, so it's possible that things slide more easily.

ETA: by the way, did you make the wreath? I'm seriously impressed!

adamar15 · December 2011

I did! Thank you pinterest for the tutorials on the flowers.

MattsPenguin · December 2011

Dang! Those are AWESOME flowers!!

adamar15 · December 2011

Thanks

I've been making them like crazy lately. I just made a couple more for headbands for my nieces.

<div>Me too!</div><div>
</div><div>Sorry to threadjack, but I saw on FB that you were in a handbell choir. So was I. What did you play?</div>

MattsPenguin · December 2011

SpecialK - I love that movie theater combo!

I tend to stay in the treble. For the past 10 years, I've pretty much played E&F 6&7(&8) or G&A 6&7(&8).

I like the challenge of the E&F part. It's probably one of the hardest on the table. Plus my weak little wrists don't like picking up the giant bass bells. I had to play like E3 or something in one song, and I had to use two hands to pick it up.

The New Girl episode about the handbells was on again last night. I love it for the national exposure of handbells, but cringed at a few minor details.

baystateapple · December 2011

I'm glad you liked it, BJ

Rosie109 · December 2011

I posted a thread a while ago AWing what I got, but I got a pair of earrings, some SEED BOMBS, a coffee mug, and reeces cups.

I know my SS was from dc, and they had nice handwriting. Using my super slueth skills I am guessing she is Anna. but I could be wrong.

Also? I mailed my SS gift monday, so someone should be getting that soon!

<div>I played G and A (4), but it was a long time ago. I don't remember much.</div>

MattsPenguin · December 2011

Did you play at church? That's where I started. Then I continued and got really into the harder stuff in college and beyond. I just quit my community group last year.

MrsB also plays handbells in a serious group. YAY HANDBELLS!! When it's done well, they can be really cool!! (well dorky cool)

Raleigh Ringers playing Wizards in Winter which we played up here a few years ago.

I have not yet washed the socks <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-embarassed.gif" border="0" alt="Embarassed" title="Embarassed" /> I really don't want to have to not wear them. I've been putting them on each day when I get home so I can sleep in them.

annakb8 · December 2011

Yes Rosie! It was meeee! I'm glad you liked it
