2013 SECRET SANTA!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Luz (aka Artyfaces in Florida) for the wonderful present beautiful homemade splits, homemade stencils, yummy sweets and a great Loew-Cornell #4 round. You are right about the #4 round, it IS the one brush to rule them all! My line work looks amazing now (I was using #6 and #1 and had yet to purchase a #4). 
I already made a spot for everything in my kit and will post pictures when I get a minute.

Well, its been a bittersweet learning experience... I ended up ordering something ekse, plus the $11 shipping insurance, so even though its way over budget, this time I know my person is gonna get something awesome.

And if they do locate my order, at least I will have more supplies

Lets just hope the adress is right!lol, it will be there before christmas, just in time to enjoy

As some of you know I was late to participate in the forum swap but Eva had this great idea of doing a gift swap with me.

Eeeeeeevaaaaaaaa!!! THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH for all the goodies
I got a paradise prisma rainbow, a tag lavender, two gorgeous homemade rainbow cake, one split cake, couple of stencils, glitter tattoo stencils, 2 empty cases to make my own rainbow, the cute little moose with chocolate and the best peanut butter fudge I have ever tried, yum, yum yum!
Here are a couple of pictures, 1st one of all the goodies and the second of my son giving Eva the thumbs up for such a delicious fudge, both of my kids asked for the recipe.

Eva, thank you again for my wonderful gifts, I can't wait to try all the stuff. Well, I can't say the same thing about the fudge, container is half way gone already

Love ya girl!

wow!!!those homemade cakes DO look amazing!!!!

Maggie darling! You are so very very very welcome! I am so happy you liked your present, and the PB fudge, I made it the morning I shipped it out. Also glad it's Andrew approved. I am sure they will love it when you make it! It's so great to have friends who share your passion. Merry Christmas!

I recieved my secret santa items in yesterday. Thank you Fairyfox!!! I love all the glitters, so many colors to choose from!!! I really love the light blue color! Also Liquid bling, and a beautiful blue split cake!! I love the color, and cant wait to use them together. Also thank you for the special FX blood and brusing makeup. It is so much better than what I was using before. Thank you!! and Merry Christmas!!!

Eva, my sweet friend, so happy to have met you and have you as a friend, wish you lived a little closer my dear. I agree, no one gets how exciting it is to give and get face painting supplies.

I am glad you liked it, I didn't make the split cakes, they are DFX and are the colors I love the most, I use them with brush and with a 1/4 sponge, the blue colors are so unique and make a beautiful winter princess.

Thank you Tineke for the wonderful Secret Santa Gift!  I am super excited to try the paints you sent and the Gems are just so beautiful.  This was a most generous gift and I feel very blessed.  The chocolates are great - I just have to hide them from my husband..lol...Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks again   My Grandson Asher was very helpful in opening it   

Yaaaay, it finally got there! I was starting to worry because it took so long :-)

The chocolates are a typical Belgian candy, they're my family's favourite, I hope you like them as well!

Tineke, I'm loving your new profile picture!

Unfortuately, all I could read from the card's signature was "Cooper," so please tell me who you are! Thank you sooooo much!

Also, I apologize to my Secret Santa receiver, I finished finals this week and the gift is going out Monday, priority.

Thank you Maggie! I put a bigger pic of it in the Christmas designs topic

It came, it came, it really really came !!!!         

Thank you for the wonderful gifts Shannon !

I got a Diamond FX purple cake, an American painter liner brush (can't wait to try it ! I'm a total brush addict :p ), pretty glitters and some candy.. I don't know how you call it, I think it's home made: caramel with nuts inside, and chocolate with nuts inside, it's yummy!

Merry Christmas!

Dear Jody, my secret Santa....
Just had to thank you again for your gift. I tried one of the brushes, the Lowell Cornell with the yellow handle, and I had to tell you that it ROCKS! I had been wanting to try those since a class I took with Marcella where she used one. My teardrops have never looked so good! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for all of the goodies Shannon aka Lady Jynx! I had been thinking I needed something in my bag to entertain for those one hour parties when I finished painting in less time ....and those tricks are just the ticket! I love, love, love the mirror! Merry Christmas!  

Michael, Thank you so very much for the lovely gifts. I received lots of stuff, chocolates, beautiful gemstones and some oogly eyes! A wonderful handmade one stroke, wig, mirror, candles, pouncers and magic tricks.

The magic tricks aren't in the picture, because my son has confiscated them and has been practicing all weekend! My biz partner and I and our families volunteer a lot and we have been looking for something for our 10/11 year old boys to do! You have answered that for me, thank you so much. I am pretty sure he isn't going to give them back. Merry Christmas to you!

BTW as you can tell the chocolate is my favorite, I have never tried the lindors. The blue is one of my new obsessions, totally addictive.

Oh wow Michael Magic, where did you find those mirrors? I've been looking for mirrors like that for years!!!!

And Maggie my dear!!! Thank you so much for your gifts!  I was very surprised and I am very grateful. While you have the advantage to know me a bit better than others, you have paid very close attention and your gifts are so very thoughtful!


I have received two beautiful handmade one stroke cakes, a new kick naughty word brush holder ( which will be perfect for my good brushes), 5 new brushes, #2 #4 round lc 795, and three lc soft grips, one of which I am betting is a petal brush :)a wolfe green and once again my favorites...chocolates! The Toblerone is delicious. After eating the Lindors and Toblerones I couldn't try the peppermint chocolate yet!! Thank you so much! It has been such a blessing to become friends my dear!! Oh and some awesome slippers, I love warm footies!!

Tineke, isn't it so cute??! Perfect for princess parties!!
