Re: ***ELFSTER GIFT REVEAL***
My Elfster was tlcW0714. She gave me the Healing Grace Willow Tree Angel. The card that comes with it says "May quiet strength bring you grace" I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
My Elfster was TheGregory's07 and she sent me this lovely scarf:
and a very sweet card. I love it!
My elfster was KristysRedBarn. She sent me a beautiful necklace (which I have been wearing every day!) that says "strength" and "grace". The back says "TTCAL".
She also sent me a book that has been passed from Peetie to mlmtgg to her and now to me. It's called "The Precious Present" and it's the perfect book for TTCAL.
Thanks, Kristy! You're the best!
I loved my Elfster gifts from MCH77!
She sent me a scrumptious bath bomb called "Sex Bomb" from Lush, a beautiful "Kept forever in the heart" Willow Tree ornament that I plan to put up on my Christmas tree this year, "What I Know Now" a book of letters from extraordinary women to their younger selves, and a couple chocolate cupcakes that are not pictured because I devoured them the day they arrived
.
Receiving this package and the sweet card MCH77 wrote, totally made my day and I'm so grateful. Thank you!

My Elfster was Rockelle. She sent me this gorgeous necklace and card. I love the necklace and have worn it daily since receiving it. The card had just a wonderful message. Thank you so much Rockelle!!!

TFAS Sept 2012
Made so many amazing bump friends along the way... Congrats to my bump besties and IRL friends..sbuxsweetie (Colin is here, and is going to be a big brother!),kellbranc (Luca is growing so fast) and lots of prayers and baby dust to willamina (HUGS) So blessed to have met these ladies!!!
My Elfster was Jillcanda and she sent me some Rose Spray that I put on my pillows each night before I go to bed, some Oracle Cards that are Fairies that I have also used nightly as well as some Nurturing Tea. This gift has gotten me back in the routine of taking some time for myself each night to relax and reflect. Again, thank you very much Jill!
On a side note my Elfster gift has not been received as of yesterday and I sent my person a message. I sent it on 8/20 but due to customs it is taking some time-ugh!
Sorry about the picture size-I messed that up!
I'm in the same boat as Shy287...mine was sent even before 8/20, but she still hasn't received it.
I hope it gets there soon!
My Elfster, Kellbelle618 sent me the Angel of Hope, which is the perfect piece that was missing from my mantle. It is beautiful....
{{HUGS}} Kellbelle618...your card was so thoughtful, and the Angel of Hope couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you so much!
I'm at work so I can't get actual pictures, but found one online. My elfster was L-Orange8 and she sent me the snow globe above, and a memorial necklace with the February birthstone and LO engraved on the back. I LOVE them. I also received a small elephant necklace from a friend for the six month anniversary of my loss and I wear both charms together. The globe sits on a hutch in my kitchen.

broken hearted, changed forever
Me too. I was really excited to see all the presents! And now I kind of want to go buy some of this stuff for myself...
This! I was out of town when the planning was taking place, but I'd love to do it with y'all next time!
Ok, I have a quick second at work here, so we'll try it.
My elfster was Zed58 and I got these lovely coasters and magnet, along with a sweet card. I love setting them around the house - they are so heafty and pretty! The heavy stone is definitely a reminder of strength! Thanks so much!!
I don't have time to download my pics right now, because I had a doctor's appt this am and getting ready to go to work. But, my elfster sent me a wind chime to remind me of Ella's presence. I hung it outside on the porch. I LOVE it! It makes me feel good everytime it chimes...it was the perfect gift. She also sent me a remembrance hallmark ornament and some cocktail weiner napkins(because I have 2 mini dachshunds)! My Elfster is awesome. Who is my Elfster? I think I have an idea who it may be. Thank you so much!
My elfster was BabyTrippin
Her gift was so perfectly beautiful! Just what I needed. It was so nice, one picture alone couldn't do it.
The bracelet says "Fall down seven stand up eight" and I love it!!! Thank you so much!!

The gifts are beautiful. I am glad that those who participate, enjoyed it. Just a word of caution here, you don't want to have this type of thing too often or you can burn people out of Elfster. Summer is the perfect time b/c you don't have to deal with the holiday stress. You guys might want to think about organizing one each season... Fall Winter Summer Spring....

This is the picture from the site that my elfster lrachelle80 got my gift from, the only difference is it has an aug. stone since that was when Ryan Jane was supposed to be born. It is perfect, I have worn it numerous times since receiving it. It is more perfect then the necklace I bought myself, when I lost my sweet angel.
Leneae10 had me! She gave me a beautiful wall hanging that says "Life is a balance of holding on and letting go". I put it up next to our last u/s pic of the LO we lost in April.
I got to go shopping for Mocha Girl!!!
Great idea!
My Elfster was arath1v2. She sent me a beautiful bracelet that I wear everyday. You can't really tell from the picture, but it says "strength" in the middle. The card and quotes made me smile too.
ETA: I can't get the picture to post
I'm working on it...

I am not sure who my elfster was but she sent me a beautiful bracelet. My camera wouldnt upload so I took the pic from the etsy shop. I just wanted to say thanks and it is really way more beautiful & delicate in person(the pic doesnt do it justice). I like wearing it when I go out on weekends. Thank You So Much!!!
I thought that maybe it didn't say my name since it came right from the seller to you. That was me! I'm glad you like it

My elfster was DoingItRight and she sent me the "Thinking of You" Willow Tree Angel. It looks darling up with my other angel. The sea shell was such a nice little touch that she had no clue about. My grandpa always used to tell me that when you listened to a sea shell you heard "I love you." He's been gone a little over a year now and I miss him so much. I know he helped her pick that out for me!
My camera just isn't doing it justice so I nabbed the Amazon image:

So glad you liked it! Does the bracelet fit? I was worried it may be too big.
For the stones, the red one is a garnet which is for grace, the bluish one is agate which is for strength and the clear is to represent a diamond - Caleb's birthstone.

YES!!! Thank You Colleen!!!
Squeeee, I am so excited for today!!! Everything looks awesome!! CashewsMommy had me and she sent me the most lovely dragonfly pin with an excellent story about dragonflies and she made me a cookbook/scrapbook with all of my recipes from my own blog, it's like I have my own cookbook! The color of the book matches my bridesmaid dresses even--I love it all

Oh no!! I love it. You're right, the symbolizism is perfect and makes me love it even more now! I rigged it up to where it is hanging from in my car around the rearview mirror. DH even loves it!
I had a friend in the car this weekend and she couldn't stop talking about it and how lovely it is.
I hope you don't mind i'm not using it as a necklace.

Ohhh!! I got lucky on that one!!
I can't remember if i put this in the card or not, but when i was making it i was thinking about how you could pass it on to your children when they grow up - sort of a family cookbook type to get them started.
And um, DH mentioned making another one so I can always have a copy of your recipes. We tried a bunch of them when I was making the book and he loved them all!!

Hopefulelise was my elfster. She gave me this beautiful elephant bracelet with the quote "Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are sealed with scars. -Kahlil Gibran" I love it and I've worn it a great deal since I've gotten it. I can't get a great picture of it because I have a cheap camera but it's really pretty. Thanks Elise!
Edit: I made the picture big so you can see the elephant better.
My camera is broken
so I don't have a picture, but my elfster was Sunflower730, Amye. She sent me an angel of healing from the Willow Tree collection. It was THE perfect gift. I came home after a hard day to find the box at my front door. Exactly what I needed to remind me of my healing journey. I also have the angel of hope and freedom. So fitting to join my collection!
Her card, however, is what made me cry. On the front it said, Believe. And inside it read:
Faith means not needing to see where you are going to know you'll get there safely. Even though you can't see what lies ahead, please know you already have what you need to come out of this an even stronger person than you already are. (sniff, sniff)
I've got the card pasted into my TTCAL journal, and read this passage every day.
Thanks, Amye.

I'm glad you like it, Katie. It was so hard buying something, but I'm so glad you are taking the time to take care of yourself! I went back and bought a set of cards for myself, and draw them every morning to see what they have to say about my day...Scary how true they are every time.

Your so welcome sweetie! I am so glad you love the angel. I am usually horrible on pickin gout the right gift. Ask my hubby I sat in the store for an hour going over each angel because I didn't know which one would be the perfect one.
The card made me cry, so I knew someone who lost twins as I did would appreciate it.
