** Non team members - so who do you think your Santa is ... guesses and clues here! *

[AJH]

Great idea to start guessing who your Santa is, thanks TJ :D

So do you have any ideas???!!! :ph34r:

xxxx

[whizzy]

Not a clue!!! Had another look on the boxes that the pressies came in but nothing at all to work on there - not even a false addy!!
Santa hasn't given any clues to their identity as yet but I know they appear to have raed likes/dislikes cos' so far spot on!!

Not very good at this lark am I ?!!

Love Whizzy xx

[smiffy73]

I didn't think I had a clue but something I read on one of our threads has made alarm bells ring this morning. It was just a small thing and I could be barking up the wrong tree altogether. There was a post code on the parcel which I read at the time but DH threw the packaging away straight away and I can't remember what it was now. I don't think it was their own though because apparently they live in a place called advent:D Maybe that is just a happy coincidence:lol:

I shall enjoy unravelling the mystery as time goes on though:)

[welsh girl]

i also had a postcode on my parcel rebecca. but i'm not sure if that is a red herring! there was a card in my box that i can't open until the 25th. as soon as i opened the box i made DP hide it and not give it back until then even if i begged. he has locked it in his desk drawer in work 30 miles away.

i will find you santa!

[__TJ__]

hmm reading the tags i have got the following clues

QTS after her name, numbers are her thing, a new lakeland is in her town, somethign that feels liek a lolly came in a pack fo three and the other two didnt last but she didnt eat them so poss children?design team member pink and flowers are the clue ( poss craft obsessions, i made their blinkie) has an 8yo daughter poss called blossom, makes paper bag books, lives not far fromt he nec and met lily-my-lovely but poss me???, has three pets but no dogs, born in london, left school in 1983, lived circa southampton/eastleigh for a long time, doesnt hide her name ( so like me, real name = user id) 23rd clue is that there are two people doing this swap, an 11 years today ( 23rd) has significance, and finally her job includes lots of fresh air.

think i better cogitate on the school run ...

[smiffy73]

You're not going to rest until you work it out are you TJ:lol:

I have a card with mine too but I wouldn't even be tempted to open it, it's all part of the fun trying to guess. I have clues on all my parcels but DD1 is looking out the rigth parcel for me so I don't have to go in the box too often.

I am sitting here patiently for her to come back from her Grans so I can open todays present:D

[AJH]

TJ just PM'd you to let you know my inbox is a little less full , sorry bout that hun .

No clues from me for any of you :lol: :lol: :lol: but it will be interesting reading your workings out !

xxx

[whizzy]

Crikey TJ - lots of info about your Santa!! The only bit of info I've got so far is that Santa has done this swap before. Narrows things down a teeny bit but not much!! I'm hoping Santa pops on again with a few more hints!! I've got a seperate box for Xmas Day that I haven't touched so hopefully if I don't work it out, they will reveal then!!

Love Whizzy xx

[dizzy]

well i really am not sure who mine is

[dizzy]

well after a bit more snooping and invbestigating i think i know who mine is, a post in the run up made me suspect at the time lol, anyway if that p[erson is who i think it is im sorry i stamped my foot at the time lol, i never have been very pateint ohh and i love eahc and every present.

[Lesley136]

I haven't a clue who mine is :huh:

[maddy]

i have a question to ask my santa, just going on a hunch , but have i been in a swap with you before??

[smiffy73]

Well after the clue that was on my present yesterday I am back to having no idea who my Santa is:lol:

[Advent Santa]

Good morning WHIZZYanother clue you say hmmm, well first i can tell you i never reveal my name in the final parcel, i will pm you if you havent guessed who i am by xmas. i have written on the final parcel not to open it because it will be obvious when you do what is in there without unwrapping it LOL
clues, well i live about 4 hours south of you altho that doesnt help a lot, and i have a dog :)

[whizzy]

Well Santa, geography has never been my strong point but I will start looking/listening closely for some southern barking!!

Love Whizzy xx

[jemm]

The only clue I have is that I think my santa may frequent Artbase:)
Must go look where Artbase is located.

[AJH]

woof woof ..... :lol: :lol:

[maddy]

hmm now if santa were to answer my first question , my sluthing may be right !!! ;)

[SueC]

Well I have no idea about my santa but I know they love New York and I think there is something in the clue about not loosing the fibres she sent me but DD reckons that is because I'll need them with something later on in the presents (she is pretty good at this?!). Also the main tag in the box is a sheep - wool, sheep, Wales maybe?? ;) Plus today santa got me spot on with my love of snowflakes (I tend to collect these embellishments and never actually have snowy pictures to go with them) so they know me well :blink:

[smiffy73]

I think I might have an idea again but I am going to keep quiet and keep up with the detective work. My flashes of inspiration often turn out to be a load of rubbish:lol:

[Advent Santa]

Hahahaha Sue, you'll have to work harder than this - Santa obviously had a drop of inspiration today and had a lucky guess!!!!!!!!!! And as for the sheep - well that made me laugh my socks off!!!!!!!!
Love

[__TJ__]

right i have narrowed it down to four... ( and yes that does mean im not secret santa for any of those 4) also i cant see straight for hours fo styaring at info on people LOL hope you are one of these santa...


Posh Stars - Victoria
RebeccaP - Rebecca
Caroline - Caroline
suzytagain - Suzanne

[Advent Santa]

Whizzy

[Jem]

Posh Stars - Victoria

Now that's just plain fishing for info TJ, surely you only get one guess at a time! :lol: :lol:

[__TJ__]

not fishing at all, http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/traceyrmj/fishingsmilie.giftotally scientific process :) and i think it is either rebecca or victoria...

[Jem]

hmmm, still more than one guess, what do you base your hypothesis on?

[__TJ__]

been stalking. :ph34r: its not you cos you have a dog :)

[Marge1969]

ooohhhh TJ, I am interested to know how you have arrived at it not being me??????????????

Love

[welsh girl]

flippin' eck TJ you've obviously put a lot of thought into this!:D
i still don't have a clue who mine is .....but i'd like one! (please!)

[whizzy]

Well, I think I've sussed out who Santa is BUT I'm not going to stake my life on it just yet!!
Will keep an eye on things a little longer just in case I'm barking up the wrong tree!!! (at Santa's dog:D :D )

Love Whizzy xx

[Princess Lily]

I think I may just have cracked it!

But I could be very wrong!

Do I say or should I wait & see?

[AJH]

Well I wonder TJ .......... !!! MAybe youre right or maybe not .... If anyone really wants to have a guess and wants me to say yes or no you can PM me and I'll think about it .... :lol: :lol:

[__TJ__]

ooohhhh TJ, I am interested to know how you have arrived at it not being me??????????????

Love

my santa said she left school in 1983. cant be you unless you left at 13 :lol:

[jemm]

Can I have a clue santa I want to join in too:)

[Advent Santa]

TO MADDY, SWAPS wot swaps, i dont swap things, I give presents at christmas time, as for clues the only clues you will get are on your presents, but they wont tell you who i am


xxx SANTA
but keep guessing

[Advent Santa]

\for jemm

Well its hard to give a clue without giving too much away but you wont find me near Art Base - all my shopping there is on line - (and I can never get the labels off without damaging the packaging <_< )

You are much more likely to find me in all the other shops you use - even non scrap booking ones.

[Posh Stars]

Please can I have a couple of clues as I have no idea who my santa is... My dog loves you today thank you!

xxx

[__TJ__]

mines cracked, thank you to RebeccaP who is my secret santa :) i confirmed it with anita, ( dh hid the card so even if it is in there i cant find it) lol :)

[Princess Lily]

well that puts my theory out of the window then!

[Natoni]

Santa, could I have some clues please, as I have no idea who you are
saying that i'm not very good at working out clues either so not sure if it would help

[charliesangel]

i have an idea who mine is, maybe completely wrong but someone who's fave chocolate is cadburys melts?

[__TJ__]

apparently there was a neigh on unbreakable code this time i only got mine on clues :)

[Sue Bailey]

My parcel had a post office tag that told me it came via Southend...and there was a postcode which I have lost...arghh! This of course might be a red herring!

[welsh girl]

santa...could i have a clue please?!

[stef]

and me i have no idea who mine came from?

stef
xxx

[maddy]

Dear Santa , ok so you dont do swaps , i am doing your clues everyday even tho they wont tell me who you are lol . If you dont do swaps do you do presents at other times of the year , not ness to me ?? hmmmmmm

[jemm]

I have an idea santa:) I have sent Anita my guess so we will just have to wait and see if I am right now.

[cathk]

i have no clue who mine is but i :wub: them!

[jemm]

Yay I was right - Santa you are sussed:) and of course wonderful.

[juliab]

mines cracked, thank you to RebeccaP who is my secret santa :) i confirmed it with anita, ( dh hid the card so even if it is in there i cant find it) lol :)

Funnily enough I guessed yours was Rebecca too - it just sounded like her from the clues - but it was the new Lakeland Ltd opeining in the town which gave it away for me!

Oh, and I don't have any clues about my own Santa - except that she shops in places I can't imagine as I have never seen most of the things I have received so far.

A clue would be welcomed ......
Julia

[Efemera]

Hi,
Didn't know about this thread, I have no idea who mine is......but they're good!
:D :D :D

[Lesley136]

Any clues Santa?? - like- do you know someone I know :D 'cos you're very good at guessing what I like !!!!

[SueC]

I really need some clues santa - other than a love of New York I'm stumped :blink:

[Advent Santa]

whizzy have you stopped guessing :lol: havent heard anything from you in ages :) could it be you have guessed who i am :)

[Advent Santa]

Ho Ho Ho SUEC


Mrs Santa here.
How many clues do you want???????
Do you REALLY want to find out just who I am????

I'll give you a clue today and see how you get on..........Me and Mr Santa have more than one child.....................That might narrow your search down a bit..If you want another one I'll think of one for tomorrow!


HO HO HO

[SueC]

hee hee Santa - well I want to know who you are eventually to say thank you in person but for now I'll just have to keep guessing! So more than one kid - well that narrows it down - NOT :lol:

[Advent Santa]

Ho Ho Ho SUEC

You dont have to worry, I have revealed myself in my parcel - there's a nice little Ditty for you! It wouldnt be fair not to reveal myself after all of this wondering and excitement. I hope all Santas do the same.


Keep guessing though - I am enjoying all the ideas- still laughing at the sheep!!!!!

[alison1544]

hav'ent got a clue who my santa is but i love me pressies:)

[Advent Santa]

Cathk

You haven't asked for a clue - but I thought I would give you a little teaser (although it probably won't help you very much).

The gloves were included in your box because I have good reason for knowing how cold it is up North. My other half comes from Greenside and went to school in Rowlands Gill (now how spooky is THAT!). I still have reason to come up to the North East with alarming regularity - to Durham to be precise. Those little penguin buttons? They came from the Scrapbook Shop on my last visit

Start guessing!

[whizzy]

No Santa, not given up - just don't want to make a fool of myself if I get it wrong!!:wacko:
If my suspicions are right then you have an overseas engagement in March 2007??

Love Whizzy xx

[cathk]

wow santa now that is very spooky!! hmmm i might even know them? doesn't help one bit though :D unless i ring up the scrapbook shop and ask for a list of customers in the last year or so!

I'm in two minds whether i want to know yet or not - i like clues but i also like the surprise - when i was pg i didn't want to know what i was having!

[smiffy73]

I know just how you feel Cath. I am 95% sure I know who my santa is, one clue I can't get to link to her. Part of me wants to find out for sure and be able to give her a massive thank you for being such a great Santa but the other part is quite enjoying it being a mystery:)

[SueC]

I have an idea santa:) I have sent Anita my guess so we will just have to wait and see if I am right now.

So are you going to reveal your Santa so we can all cross them off our list :lol:

[dragonfly jane]

I have no idea who my santa is, I even lost the postcode and name off the bag they came in, but who ever you are santa I want you too know I am loveing my gifts, thank you.

[__TJ__]

No Santa, not given up - just don't want to make a fool of myself if I get it wrong!!:wacko:
If my suspicions are right then you have an overseas engagement in March 2007??

Love Whizzy xx

:lol: underseas actually ( going on the chunnel) but yes you guessed me :) hope you are enjoying your pressies :)

[SueC]

I'll give you a clue today and see how you get on..........Me and Mr Santa have more than one child.....

OK so do you know how many people have more than one child in this swap!! :blink: I went through you all last night and it didn't narrow it down very much :lol:

However, I have a sneaking suspicion who you are - but I'll keep guessing for now :D

[whizzy]

Yey!! I guessed right!!

Thank you so much Santa Tracy, and yes, I am really enjoying the swap. Your choices have all been spot on

Love Whizzy xx

[Posh Stars]

I am now worried Santa doesnt like me?! I have asked for clues and not had any response!!! must be busy getting the presents ready for xmas eve!


xxxx


Please can I have a couple of clues as I have no idea who my santa is... My dog loves you today thank you!

xxx

[welsh girl]

don't worry posh stars....you're not alone there! i've heard nothing too.
maybe we have shy santas!

[Posh Stars]

you are probably right, but I just want them to know I am loving all my presents!
xxxx

[smiffy73]

I was 95% sure I knew who my Santa was until the last 2 clues. I had a quick snoop in my tea break this morning and I am now 99.9% sure I know who it is. I'll need to decide if I want to know for sure or not before I open my present when I get home from work tonight at 7pm because today is the day I get the present that has their name on it:unsure:

[Lesley136]

Still stuck. Would it be cheating to ask everyone who has not recently been to the states to post here ;) . ( One of my pressies was from Walmart)

[Advent Santa]

A message to PoshStars,
Santa is keeping a low profile! in fact so low that you won't even find out on Christmas Day because the silly old *** forgot to put a card in!

[iamdozytart]

i think only think mind that i know who mine is....but as i dont really want to know yet as might spoil it, i will let santa know if i did guess right on christmas day.....but im very good at guessing.....good fun though

[Posh Stars]

A message to PoshStars,
Santa is keeping a low profile! in fact so low that you won't even find out on Christmas Day because the silly old *** forgot to put a card in!

will you pm me after xmas please? as I have no idea who you are!

xxxx

[charliesangel]

any clues Santa?

[gwyneth]

Well hello Santa, you have given me one or two clues. 1st time advent swapper, has a dog( I like you already, a home is not a home without a dog) That was written on a plaque I got in a previous swap. I have tried to be a bit clever to see who posted around the same time that Santa sent me a private message. Narrowed it down but I might be on the wrong scent. Off to get my dearstalker hat and magyifting glass. Oh and Santa don't go missing too many lunch times or that red outfit will sag in all the wrong places. Now there's another clue, a working girl or a very thin Santa!!!!!!

[gwyneth]

Perhaps another clue with the postmark on the parcel today Santa. Will try to find out which part of the country you come from later

[Advent Santa]

HO HO HO SUEC

Given up guessing have we? Thats a shame, I was enjoying your little questions! Sorry if the clue about the children was a bit naughty - kept you busy for a while tho!

I'll be interested if you have worked out who I am tho!

HO HO HO HOOOOOOOOOOO

[SueC]

That's a bit spooky Santa - I just logged in to ask for another clue because I'm not sure you are who I thought :wacko: So you love New York and you have more than one child?! i get the feeling the fact that you have written lovely little poems every day is a clue too but I'm not sure :unsure: Help?! :)

[Advent Santa]

HO HO HO - SUEC

Here's a clue, another little ditty.......infact there are two clues here....

Pink and Blue
I have more than two
Blue and Yellow,
You weren't my fellow.



Hope that helps!

Love

[SueC]

:wacko: er thanks - I think!!

[jemm]

So are you going to reveal your Santa so we can all cross them off our list :lol:

Sorry yes maybe I should

my SUPER SANTA is

Lesley 136:wub:

[maddy]

Have had a bit more of a think and now i think i was barking up the wrong tree , but not to far from it . Cant tell you yet how i think i know who my santa is but i will when the time comes :lol:

[Princess Lily]

My SS glass paints!

[welsh girl]

santa..please give me a clue! i'm going crazy here!

[Lesley136]

I'm still totally stuck :huh:

[cathk]

i have no idea either!

[welsh girl]

hi santa! i hope you will send me a clue today! PLEASE! (i've really enjoyed opening my pressies so far) i'd just like a clue or two about who you are

[SueC]

just a thought your santa might not have bookmarked this thread and so won't know you are asking - maybe ask in the general chat thread too?

[Advent Santa]

Have had a bit more of a think and now i think i was barking up the wrong tree , but not to far from it . Cant tell you yet how i think i know who my santa is but i will when the time comes :lol:

Hi Maddy, I would leave the barking for your dog tanner, Tee Heee or HO HO HO as for not being far from it, from what ME, im more than a dog walk, but less than a marathon, but oh dear if you were tempted to look at the postcode you may be dissapointed as it may be my friends, never mind keep guessing

LOVE SANTA

[smiffy73]

I got another clue today and I think I definately know who my secret Santa is:D And she's not a million miles from here :rolleyes:

Is it you Sue? If it is, Thanks so much for everything so far, you have really spoiled me:wub: I have been leaving my presents until the evening so the kids can help and I think about them all day at work:D If it's not you then I have no idea who it is:lol:

[maddy]

Dearest santa thank you for your message to me today,is it just me or are you a little ditsy today ;)

[SueC]

I don't live near Kilmarnock Rebecca :rolleyes: or do you mean Sue Bailey? ;)

[smiffy73]

I wasn't referring to your physical location but that you had posted just above me:)

[SueC]

:lol: Ok, Ok you got me sussed :D I hope you are enjoying everything I've sent so far- and a few more days to enjoy :)

[RebeccaP]

Well, Tracey - I haven't been around much lately work's busy, kids social life is busy and what with concerts to take part in as well. Then there's the decorations, the mess to clear up and visitors coming. So I finally get a chance to come on and check things out and you've read all the clues before their dates!!!! Next year all clues get wrapped with the pressie!!!!! :)

Glad you are enjoying all the goodies.

Now my santa hasn't left me any clues on the pressies at all. They are pretty fab pressies - ATB brads today and lots of other super-dooper goodies on previous days. Are there any clues or a name in the last pressie? mmmmmm any clues on here????

[__TJ__]

sorry rebecca, but you did leave all the clues lying about and i HAD to know! LOL hope i didnt ruin it for you guessing so early. i much prefer to say thankyou to the person who wrapped up such lovely presents :) as for your santa why not make a list of all the people who have guessed theirs? as far as i know noone has the same sender and recipient so it should be fairly easy to see who has already posted mine is
from rebeccap - to whizzy ( she guessed me!) at the very least it should narrow down your list.

[cathk]

hardly anyone has guessed though - i still have absolutely no idea!

santa if you're out there another clue perhaps? please??

[Advent Santa]

Ahh Cathk - I thought you didn't WANT to guess!

Okay - I have been around quite a long time - but you wouldn't think so from the number of my posts. I have a very busy life so not much time to lurk on UKS.

Except swaps - which I like a lot!

Does that help

[SueC]

Just a little note to say thank you to my Santa for the PM - I've passed the hug on :) So hummmm, you read our team thread but TJ has been guessed so it can't be her? I am really struggling to guess you now Santa but looking forward to finding out who you are on Monday (yes girls, Monday - it's nearly here :o )

[__TJ__]

not me sue i got whizzy :) cant wait to see what she makes of the xmas day pressies :lol:

now have you all been good, theres this guy who wants to know....
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/traceyrmj/makinghislist.gif
