BBA Secret Santa Reveal

We had so much fun with the BBA Secret Santa in 2011 that we decided to bring it back for 2012. Once again, the deal was that we could give handmade and/or store bought gifts totaling no more than $20. Things went smoothly all around. I'm excited to share more details about how it went on my end.

I was Nancy of NFallonDesignStudio's Secret Santa. I sent her a set of my music note cards and some music gift tags.

When I make music greeting cards, I always end up with little music scraps left over. I use a lot of them to make magnets, but they worked perfectly for making gift tags, too. This was a perfect opportunity to try out my new to/from Christmas stamp.


Linda of PruittCreations was my Secret Santa. Look at what a wonderful job she did with the wrapping! It is so much more amazing than anything I will ever do in that department.

I inspired Linda to make this table runner back in March for my turquoise/red challenge, and she wanted me to have the piece. She created it for Easter, but I think that the colors work for Christmas, too.

Linda also sent me some beads and dark chocolate. My teammates know me pretty well! Thanks for everything, Linda!


If you are not already part of the BBA, hop over to the join section of the blog and think about becoming part of our team.  We'd love to have you!

  1. Secret Santas are the best! We do one with my husband's family and it's so nice to just think about one cool gift instead of 15. :-)

    Looks like you two were a good match!

  13. Both your music greeting cards and tags, and Linda's table runner, are great gifts! Since you inspired the color combination for the latter, you must really feel that you got a just-for-you personalized gift. :-)
