Wow! Another year completed and the gifts have all finally been given out, except for Scylla and Romelia. I still need their e-mail addresses... if anyone knows their e-mail addresses, please let me know so I can send them their gifts. :)

Just a reminder, the gifts I sent are from your Secret Pal. I will reveal your secret Pal on the 28th sometime, in this thread, so please check back then to see who your Secret Pal was.

And to everyone, have a happy and blessed Yuletide and Christmas season!

"Thank you, Twyrch." No kidding! I could never have done mine without Twyrch. I have zero computer skills, and he did all the heavy lifting for me....

Everyone, it was an honor to serve you this year and I was amazed to watch the creativity of the gifts as they came in. :grin:

Yes, I played a small part in helping Twig with her gift, but she did the creative thinking, planning and design of the gift. I just packaged it and put a bow on it. :)

I hope everyone has a blessed Yuletide and a merry Christmas! Blessings to you all! :tiphat:
