All Secret Santa participants, please participate... (aka Anyone want to do a Newlywed Secret Santa?)

Hmm..i dont really have a wish list only things I dont want like knick-naks, candles, smelly stuff...pretty much what everyone else wants, I dont

I like practical things that can be used. I like to read and to research stuff so books/mags are a nice option. I think my style is pretty simplistic.

I do not need any more knick knacks or picture frames or candles.... I love romance novels (Like Nora Roberts since I have read all of hers to date..)...etc.. to read to and from the city..I also love Movies...the cheasy 80's are my favorite... WE have a DVD player..2 to be exact but No DVD

I love to read- but not romance novels. I loved The Red Tent, Girl With Pearl Earing, The Poisonwood Bible and The Secret Lives of Bees. I also enjoy 'silly' books like Diary of a Bride.
My favorite color is deep plum. And as I said before I love to cook and bake.
Since my wedding I have been looking at my proofs and we are buying a home. I am now trying to figure out what to do with all the new rooms.

Ho Ho Ho! I'm done shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to the post office on Thursday!!!

Is everyone not doing a wish list?? I am so lost

Are we giving clues instead of our names when we send the gift so we have to guess, or are we just going to sign our names to it? just was curious since I dont' want to do the wrong thing!

I tried to get everyone to answer my questions on the last page but not everyone did. :(

I think you should sign your name to the gift.

Even though DH and I are moving soon, we're still going to be in a very small 2 BR, so clutter, junk and anything that just sits there and cannot be used drives me crazy (literally)! We have a huge problem with this right now.

I like books and magazines about parenting and babies, but I already have several books that were given to me. Christmas ornaments and picture frames are always nice. I can't really use anything too smelly on my body, since the perfumes irritate me.

HTH

Hmmmm - lets see
I saw a really neat collage frame in Macys, it was sort of a 3D effect. Frames in general

I always love the Bath and Body stuff

Wine but thats a little hard to mail.

This is fun Im off to shop for my gift at lunch time today!

Well, we just moved into our new home...and I cant find my candles!! LOL...I know they are packed somewhere but its not Christmas without candles!

Ok here's few more ideas. I love yankee candles, I collect snowmen, I love Anitque looking Christmas ornaments, I love victorian lacey things, I can really use 5x5 frames and I'm really easy to please

Sorry, the week before break is always crazy at school. Here's some infomation:

1. Your family (FH/DH, kids, pets)
Me and my husband and the horse

2. Your hobbies
I have a horse who takes up alot of my time. I am a middle school teacher, and that too takes up much of my time. I like to do crafty things and play outside (hike, kayak, garden, etc...)

3. Your home colours/decor/themes
We rent an apartment, so the decor is standard. We do have this deep purple theme going on though.

4. Your favourite things
hmmmmmm, things that are classy and understated... Simple, yet different. Earth tone fabrics and silver metals. Anything from the Penndingtons catalogue. Big (wide, and long enough to wrap around twice) soft scarves. I put them on under my coat, and often leave them on all day :) Lavender is my favorite herb. (Right now I have a rosemary buch in the computer room waiting to be given away for christmas and it smells wonderful)

5. Things you hate
Dust collectors, sceneted body lotions, gold metals, thin long scarves, and croxley ales monday night football comercials on the radio and carnations.

I sent out her gift already...I think she is going to love it. Can't wait!

Sent mine today!!

Here's a suggestion...I was part of an online Secret Santa and we did not open the gifts until a specific day and when we did, we did it online. We all joined the chatroom at a specific time and as we opened we shared what it was and from whom!

Anybody want to do this? I think it would be fun...we just have to pick a day...once everyone has received thier gifts to do it!
