YES! Thank you Shadow!! A lot of work and patience to keep us organized!

Merry Christmas!

Thanks once again for all your hard work and making sure everyone who entered got their parcel, no mean feet.

See you all in chat tonight (for me)

Elle

Okay, it is 7:30 AM here EST and I am especially restless. Do we realy have to wait untill four. And I have to get my DH to belive he can get the box. He thinks we are waiting until Christmas. UGH

Oh DonnaRae I hear you! It's EST here too, (have you had any coffee yet? mine is waiting to cool down). Something tells me my DH is going to wait until the chat opens to give me mine back! :(

Its here!!! Its here!!! Todays the big day! I can hardly wait! I have my knife ready too! None of that slow lady-like opening for me....HA...what a waste of time, especially when no one is looking! :oops:

Mine is hidden away to keep DH from hiding it from me. I plan to see ya'll in chat this afternoon!

it's 11am here in NL... come on 5:30!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I cannot believe the day is finally here. I thought we were chatting at 7pm central time...but 3 will be even better.

I'm so proud of Terri, she didn't tear into her package with wild abandon...lol that's for later Teri!!! :-)

Merry Christmas to all and Happy birthday to Terri. My dya was yesterday...I hope you have a good one today.

I'm ready and have been watching the clock already!

I'm so excited! Not only do I get to open my SS today, but it's also DD's 21st Birthday! (I'm still trying to figure out who gave her permission to grow up, I'm pretty sure I didn't LOL) I may not get to stay on chat very long because of birthday doings, but I'll be there!

2 more hours to go.... 2 MORE HOURS TO GO!!!!!!!!

I just think that it would be hilarious if Terri oversleeps. LOL Terri did you set your alarm?


Debbie

I might have to break down (oh darn) and open mine a few hours early.
My DIL and I have a date to see the Nutcracker this afternoon so I may not be here for the official opening.
Muriel

It's 7.34pm here in the UK. I have taken the presents out of their hidey place and laid them out on the coffee table, am so excited! Although I have an admission to make. I already ate the Cheetohs :oops:
Well they weren't wrapped up and I have NO willpower!!!! Very much enjoyed them though, and everything else is still waiting to be opened!

Where is the link?

Hey Donna Rae,
I don't think she's begun the list yet, we just all wanted to be included so we mentioned it yesterday.

You realise how close you live to me? I'm an hour from Myrtle Beach. We are going to have to share our time at a quilt show one of these days!
Hugs,
Sharon
