I would love to join and what a great birthday present for me, opening day is my birthday.

When do we get assigned partners please?

Shadow will PM you when it's time.
This doesn't work like the swap. Who you have to send to, IS NOT the person who sends to you. Hence the name...SECRET.

Of course Terri would NEVER do that...she has these little elf-geckos to do it for her!
She's a clever one :!: :lol:

hugs, Minnie! This is my first time too...we can be newbie's together :wink:

wootie hoo! you get a great big party-bash...just for you, lol...and over a hundred other ppl :wink:
Great b-day present to give yourself by joining...happy pre-b-day! :lol:

And we all know what SECRET stands for:
S - Santa's
E- Explicit,
C - Can't
R - Rip
E - Early
T - Terri :!: :!: :!: :lol:

know you went to all that trouble, making little Santa hats and elfie shoes, for your gecko buddies...letting them nibble the chocolate in your pocket, and all, like Cinderella with my mousie cousins, but I sent them a note...keep an eye on Terri and SS package, and there's more chocolate where that came from :twisted: :mrgreen: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I WOULD NEVER OPEN IT EARLY! I cannot believe you would even think that? Sheesh! lol

And what her elf-geckos don't do her buddies the 'quilt inspectors' do, honestly Terri, how long did it take you to train all those critters? We who know and love you best can't wait for the temptations to get you all topsy-turvy!

Hugs,
Sharon

Good Morning :)

I just wanted to let you all know that we are up to 113 participants!!! :)

S.D.

WOW that's a lot of work for you Dancer, want to split the list some? I can help you know...

I'll join. :) Just love shopping for gifts.

I actually spotted another one this morning. He's about 4 ft long and really pretty!

She's a clever one I just love teasing about it.
Does anyone remember the pics I posted last year? I thought Shadow was going to strangle me! It was too funny!

That's part of what kept me going last year, gf!! I love it!

Maybe I'll see if I can train one of the furry kids to "open" the package. ;)

My cat can already do that!! I have to put wrapped presents in large bags and hide them under blankets, etc. to keep him out of them!! (And NO, he's NOT spoiled or anything.... :D ) He also likes to open cabinet doors in the kitchen and bathrooms. He thinks it's cute :wink:

Mine can open the cabinet doors too. Silly things!
They even know how to unroll the toilet paper so we have to hang it backwards. UGH!

:lol: Mine too! :lol: :roll:

See why I only have fish? They don't get into anything but trouble for fighting. LMBO

I used to have fish, but had to give them away when we moved.
But, one drawback of fish. You can't curl up with them when you are cold. Kittys keep you nice and warm! :)

Yes, I want to join the secret Santa. Enjoyed the Easter Bunny exchange, so this will be fun, I'm sure.

WHHHHHHAT there is an Easter Bunny Exchange??????? i didn't know that.

Yes trupeach, we use anything for an excuse to exchange FQs and little goodies! There's Valentine's day and and--- Such fun!! Just stick around!

:shock: I think that Terri has been working with Big Boy to do a big belly flop from a high up shelf, and squish the package open... :lol: Note to self: If I get Terri, nothing breakable in her package! :lol:

This is too good to be true.... are you saying that there are exchanges for ALL hoildays? Do we have to open them at the same time (you know I can't wait) or do we open them when we get them???? I never get gifts except from my 2 children and with school loans ect I always tell them not to get me anything. I sometimes get a gift for my birthday or Christmas from my best friend but not often with the economy the way it is. I know I am just rambling, sorry.

Well, it seems that we ALL love to get presents as well as give them here on the Quilt Board! You're not alone when it comes to not getting many presents!! So a "squishy" is always welcome anytime as well as on holidays! :D

I am already thinking about things to make and gifts to buy for all the hoildays.. I love making things as gifts I hope I get people who like to eat because I love to cook. Just a heads up who ever I get for SS I hope you like homemade Jam.

Love to join also sent my pm
Linda B

I would love to join this swap. I sent my pm
hugs Linda B

But I can go off and they have enough to eat not to worry about them...warm is the quilts, just add an extra! :roll:

Hello all my Santas!! :)

Tueday I am going to be sending out PMs to the international people participating in the Secret Santa. This gives them a little extra time for their parcels to get to their destinations.

If there are any other members overseas who would like to join, please let me know by Monday evening.

Thank You :)

S.D.

I'm Charlee's Sis~n~Law and I've been instructed (firmly I might add) to sign up for the Secret Santa. So, here I am!

[quote=tlrnhi]well, since I don't remember,....let me guess...you took some pictures of things on ripped wrapping paper, and it looked like your curiosity got to you? Am I right? It will cost you, one unlicked chocolate bar, lol...by gecko or human :wink:

woo hoo! hi, Candela - Charlee's SIL!!! (waving my mousie paw and ringing bells on both little feet )...
so happy your here. Pm Shadow with your name and address and preference info on fat quarters if you have any.
Also include things, like if you have allergies, or are diabetic, ok?
We will get our secret santa swapper/receiver of OUR gift on Oct. 24th.

Shadow, are we making a lot of work? I really don't know what all it takes to do this. Are you ready to turn cats loose on mousie? lol :lol:

Shadow, I just learned from Lacelady that the UK will be having a postal strike starting October 18. This will most likely affect their sending timeframe.

What a wonderful welcome!! Thank you! :) I'll be sure send Shadow the PM thanks again.

They can't go on strike...it's Secret Santa time!! This just won't do at all!!

Thank you for letting me know, all UK participants will get their info tonight. Hopefully they can get their parcels out before the strike happens.

S.D.

Yes Shadow you tell them thsi just won't do :twisted: Don't they know the economy is in the dumps and now is not the time for strikes ...
And further more
GGGEEESSSHHH don't they understand it is Secret Santa time :roll: :? :roll:

I could only be a SS to someone in the US (long story) I hope my Santa is from here too. If my Santa is coming from the North Pole and has to make an even earlier delivery then expected because of a postal strike I will kill myself having to look at a package for 2 months. I am not kidding, I can't do it, I couldn't wait that long.

All UK participants, info was sent via PM to you with the information for the person you are Secret Santa to, as well I have sent your info to the people who are Secret Santa to UK particpants.

Please include a note with your username on the board so your person knows who their Santa is.

Thank you and above all else... Have Fun!!

S.D.
