Thanks again to my elves now that I know who (most of) you are!!!
I gave three batches of prezzies and two smaller gifts
As You Tube videos I gave:

For Esprit: The "I heard the bells on Christmas day" Christmas set (with a photo I took of Salisbury Cathedral in the background). Unfortunately the photo was taken in the height of July with way too many leaves on the trees for a Christmas picture
Happy: The "I told you he was real" Christmas set
Lisseegirl: The Percy Jackson set
(I confess the sets for Happy and Lisee were reused from sets I made previously for a different purpose, but they suited your interests and I doubt I could have made something better suited to you and they've just been sitting around gathering dust)
I also gave Tooky the "Ten is my Doctor" badge and the David Tennant in a field of wheat with a Tardis painting
And I gave the "Regeneration Carol" Doctor Who video to Kristi, Tooky, White Rose, Swan White, The Goofy Clan and Stew
I think that covers everything
Once a daughter of Eve. Now a daughter of the Second Adam.

Jaygee- the "winter will not last forever, Aslan is on the move" sig.

I think that's all. 🙂
