A Secret Santa gift for me! :)

I arrived home on Saturday afternoon to a wonderful surprise …. a big white envelope with the magic words SECRET SANTA written on it!

I just had to open it immediately! My secret santa turned out to be Nancy Falkow . She totally spoiled me with not one, but four gifts!

Each package was numbered and the card gave clues as to what was inside. I found:

an ingenious holder for my beading needles
really cute pins for my notice board
a wonderful sleeve for my mobile
and finally … Nancy’s own CD! I settled down to hear the CD at once and I was really impressed hearing Nancy sing, beautiful voice!!

Thank you Nancy for your wonderful and thoughtful gifts. I love them all, and especially the case for my beading needles, hopefully I won’t lose them any more!

Special thanks also to Mitsy for organising this game!

Happy Monday!!! I have been picked to host this week’s EST Challenge. Every week the members of the European Street Team on Etsy create something in keeping with the current challenge theme. Last week Inger of Ingermaaike was the host and chose the theme Mythology. All entries may be viewed on Inger’s blog.

My challenge entry Calypso’s Captive was inspired by Homer’s Odyssey, specifically the tale where Calpyso falls in love with Odysseus and holds him on her island for seven years until she was made to release him.

The theme I have chosen for this week’s challenge is

“At World’s End”

and can be interpreted as either of the following:
