Happy new year, and thanks for the opportunity to participate in the gift exchange. I am still wondering if my giftee received their present however.
Here's to a great year to come and I look forward to next years exchange.

Many belated tanks to my thoughtful and generous Secret Santa, Nilepoc. I love the micro hex and I'm wearing it right now. It's an SMC 00 that my SS got from his dad's 70's rack and thought I might like as jewelry. (I do!). I also got two huge and fabulous photos: a night scene near hue I and a striking pic of a man by a very thoroughly and brightly graffitied boulder. I'm going to frame the latter for my office!
I'm sorry for being so late to post. We were back from my family's in PA less than a few hours before heading to my husband's family's for New Years and Christmas with them. I'm still traveling, and it was too dark to get nice photos of your beautiful photos on my brief stop home. I'll take and post them when I land again.
Thanks again. I couldn't be more pleased with these gifts.

Cool stuff!
There was actually a CMI blue anodized hex that was, I believe, smaller, and only sold as jewelry

AYA thank you for the cool rock candle. It has a special spot in our living room. I love it.
Flyzo loved the dog treats and everyone else in the hood scarfed those delicious coolies. I'd post pics but my camera is out of batteries...stay tuned folks.

Like Melissa, the traveling had delayed me from posting up. My house watcher-overer had informed me about THE BOX having arrived a few days before Christmas. He asked me if I'd like him to open it for me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME (in my best John Boehner screaming voice). Someone always wantin' in on my fun...cuz they don't have enough of their own? Naw, probably cuz everyone I know of loves opening presents, especially with "Secret Santa" on the outside.
Well the box looks great, good size and, oh wait it's practically from a neighbor....Sand City, just down the road from Santa Cruz.
Oh shoot look at that....a lovely t shirt from Sanctuary Rock Gym....a beautiful sea foam color...and I must admit I've never been there...but now I will and wear my new shirt.
What...there's more? Oh my some homemade jams! Oh boy...the restraint needed to not tear into those. I'm going to try to save them for when we head north for skiing when we'll want the bestest of food and sustenance.
My guess is at least one of them won't make it north!
A careful examination of the packing paper and no revelation of my Secret Santa. That's ok. I think it's kinda cool not to know...there are so few real surprises or mysteries in this world.
Thank you Sand City Secret Santa. Maybe if you ever think you see me at Sanctuary you'll say "hi". I'll be wearing a seafoam-colored t shirt!

I have been super busy with the end of the year and closing up my work for the winter break. Glad to see more and more people posting up and receiving their gifts.
I am fairly certain that at this point all gifts should have been delivered. At least the few people who got late deliveries have either confirmed they received them or tracking numbers show they have finally arrived.
Please, if you have not received your gift please let me know so I can try and figure out what is going on.
Thanks to everyone who participated this year. It was a great time and I am glad everyone enjoyed it as well.
Also, I will be trying to come up with a way to do the name matching in a better way for next year. A few people had the same person as last year or were sending to the same person they received from. The problem is that I do not have records from previous years (I delete them to ensure a modicum of privacy for you guys) but this years matching I will keep and try to come up with away to make sure the matching is more evenly spread out. Secret Santa 2.0 matching next year!
Happy New Years folks. Santa will see you again in ~10 months!

Just returned from my travels and here's what I found awaiting me:
With this funny poem:
It's a balmy 5 degrees above zero in NY, so the beautiful beanie's no mystery. But how did my Secret Santa know that Organic Dark Espresso is my absolute favorite coffee???
Sneaky Secret Santa...thank you sooooooooooo much!

I'm back, and Secret Santa came through big time. Neighbor said he took delivery on the 30th, and I had a nice surprise when I got home.
I got three designer t shirts, a custom chalk bag, and some work gloves.
Thanks again for the cool stuff.
