OMG did you hear the cheers and excitement here.......this is the post I have been waiting for..........I just didn't get a chance to tell you all yesterday but late Monday night when I arrived home I had an email from Jenny to say she had received her SSCS parcel ....the best part is that was the last one to arrive............that means we had 100% success this year for the Secret Santa Christmas Swap. I am so HAPPY..........
thanks so much to all the girls who have particitpated in the SSCS for 2009 it is now officially OVER............you have done a wonderful job with all the gifts...........and the ornaments.........here is the last photos that I have of gifts..........I don't have a couple of photos of gifts but I tried so they will just miss out [sorry] as this is the last post...........

don't forget to go back thru all the photos of the SSCS gifts (just look back a few posts to find them) there are about 11 posts - oh and also the list of SSCS participants will go next week so it is your final chance to visit some "new to you" blogs............


Aust Kerry for USA Lynn

PS i've done some laps and water walking in the pool today too Kerry [after a little bit of sheep work, the mowing and washing].............if anyone needs a kick along in getting fit go and visit Kerry's blog........we can support each other making sure we fit in some exercise.......you have to make it a priority!!!!!
If your doing NOTHING then 5 mins walk a couple times a week is much better so start..........gradually increase.......come on join us.........

Phew! What a relief for you when the last one turned up. Congratulations on such a wonderful swap this year. I didn't participate, but I sure enjoyed seeing what everyone made and visiting new blogs. I might just get my butt into gear this year, if you have the inclination to do it all again.
