Still have not received my SS box, but I think he is taking the scenic route, or else being held hostage by the post office. I am not worried I know he's on the way and just being thoughtful and not torturing me by being here.. <smile>

Oh no! I think I put my name and return address on package...How dumb is was that!!! Oh well she can't see inside!!

wow....such angry tempraments.... and I thought that all of this was supposed to be fun. I, myself, have put my package in my sewing room. I was in there over the past couple of days making some things and never once heard it make any sounds until after I left the room. It just needs company is all. IMHO...this is the holiday season and thought that this ss exchange was a great idea. Now I'm not so sure after reading things today. :(

Tigger this IS a good thing. It is just that some"kids" get overexcited at Christmas and the thought of a gift is too much for them to handle. They act out when they really are good kids but they just haven't learned to control the excitment of the season yet.

Tigger, don't take thier comments serious... They are old hands at this exchange...it's a disfunctional type of fun for them.
SS packages do like company. I put my SS in with the other Christmas packages.

I'm soo glad to see that other folks are hearing things from their boxes too and to have the secret elf snitching brownies???????? Whats up with that?

I've had to separate my boxes...the imposter and the REAL SS box, they were arguing again....what to do, what to do with them.... I'm pretty sure I know who the imposter is 8)

Tru...when you get banned for talking ugly...you have to send the box to ME!.....didn't you read the rules???? :wink:

Got my SS package - yah. I started to open it cause it was just a plain box then I realized it was my SS present and I stopped I promise I stopped!!!

I mailed mine last week and see the card to go in it is sitting on my desk - guess that will go in the mail today.

I am still waiting for my SS box. Santa am I on your naughty list?

Girl put me on the "received my SS package" list. And I promise I am not shaking it, ot thumping it, ot ultrasounding it, or x-raying it, or anything!!! I promise!!!!


OOOOHHHH metal detector!! I gotta go!!.

if i have to send it to you then so be it at least i know it is going to a good home and will be loved. kind of like when you ahve to give puppies or kitties away when they reach 6 weeks old.

I would like to say my quote was for fun and I assumed everyone know that, I assumed wrong. MOST of us are fooling around. The people that are bantering back and forth are FRIENDS!!!! If anyone takes this as serious they should have a reality check. When you have a child that could die at any second and if you can smile about something is that a bad thing???????

I think you gals are having too much fun, I'll have to join next time. Moosegirl

I received an envelope from SS today. It came from Canada.

quick hide it some place before it starts to talk to you thats when the real trouble begins. :lol: :lol:

i just have to address what trupeach said being on this chat since june many have become like family and when they do say something it just rolls off my back the longer you are on this site the more you realize that and the closer we all become


LEAVE YOUR PACKAGE ALONE

I will leave it at work until December 11th. I am very busy at work because out office is short staff and I have to help out in another department so I am rarely at my desk.

Our Christmas Gala is on the 12th so I really won't be bothered with it until the 13th. Just hope I don't forget it, then I will be at home without a present. :( :(

My SS package arrived today!! :D DH brought it in and placed it on top of the refrigerator, where i can't reach :shock: :shock: So, I have no idea what it feels like. He won't be here tomorrow, so i can get a chair and reach it,and then play with it some :D :D Unless he hides it somewhere while I'm not looking :roll: :roll: Thank you SS, it has arrived safe and sound!

Okay so how good am I! Hosted my guild meeting the other day and on my sewing table sat my SS package (YES untouched) they all asked about it, I told them about our exchange. All of them told me to open it and how nobody would ever know. I stood my ground and told them they don't know Shadow and Terri there's no way in heck I'm touching that thing until the 13th
Okay I ready for my pats on the back now! :D

ooops ;D
You may have to put another gifty in the card... $10 gift card ???? ;)

pat pat pat :D You did good :D
outsiders just don't understand the standards we have in this group...ha ha

[quote=tigger5464]I have been reading this thread since day one. Please don't take these wacky, crazy quilters seriously. I cannot wait to get on here each day to see what they are up to. This is my first SS santa exchange and am having so much fun, even if that box is driving me crazy. It really wants me to get that tape off of him.

STAY AWAY FROM THE BOX....if it is happy on top of the fridge just leave it be. it might like the hum of the motor. You touch it or move it it could cause trouble and I mean BIIIIIIIIIIIIG trouble. it was hubby who brought it in the box didn't pick up your scent, the scent of a quilter once you pick it up or touch the box and all it want's it to be let out. so i warn you DON"T TOUCH THE BOX!!!!!

Got my SS present and I just want you to all know how much I love everything in the box!! Oh I wasn't suppose to open it?? OOPS!

I think I know who it is from too!

well, hello all you lovely and handsome? secret santas...including my bud :D Peachy :wink:
Just to reassure everyone, we are all friends, and the ruckus and the romping and stomping is like a snowball fight.
Of course I'd throw a big icy one at my besties! :? ...and they'd bomb me right back :twisted:
Wanna pillow fight anybody???? :mrgreen:
It's all the gaiety and hoopla of the season that makes you itch to do something, bc we are not supposed to be ever so gently and mindlessly peeling that tape back inch by inch :twisted: , looking around the sew-cave and musing about my next project :roll:
...uh, hmmm, how did that tape get peeled like that?
Squishy Santa, you been picking at Foxyboxy?
Squishy Santa: "you know I been watching you, Mousie, with them long fingernails..and your gonna blame me?"
Mousie: "what? your saying I did that?
Foxyboxy: "hey, can't a girl get any sleep around here? Ohhh, who's been trying to open me? Look at my tape" :?
...(glaring at both Mousie and Squishy Santa)...
"I'm gonna dust for fingerprints! My sender said to be sure and not let my new owner open early!"
OK!!! I gotta go...um, um,...I think there's somebody at the door! yeah, that's it, somebody's at the door :wink:

My Sneaky Santa sent me yet ANOTHER package!! This one is marked from Arkansas....oh my....and it's also marked NOT to open til Dec. 13th....Hope I don't get them mixed up!! :wink:

Thank you so much Santa...I'm very excited!! :)


****Smacking Mousie with a big soft pillow****

:cry: :cry: :cry: NO! say it ain't so...Mousie could never go on without Duckduck! :cry:
She's the bestest sugarduck friend this little mouse has ever had.
Peachy, tell me, have you seen her?
(la la la....what song does that remind you of?)
She'll be along...she will. I know she will. Oh, btw, those are fake feathers. Mousie doesn't pluck ducks! :lol:

Who's pillow was it are you SURE they were fake feathers???? That is all we need a funeral just before thanksgiving. :shock: OMG I hope no one is going to have duck instead of turkey and someone shot her. There was a post a few days ago someones grandson killed a turkey. I know I said duck al la orange but I hope it wasn't our ducky i have become fond of her. PLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSEEEEE Miss Mouse go find Ducky, get your cape you are on a mission report back to me as soon as you know anything. I am on pin's and needles. OOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPP that is just my pinned quilt I am sitting on.

Oh where, oh where, has my little Duck gone,
Oh where, oh where can she be?
Is she sitting at work pushing papers and bills,
Oh where oh where can she be?

We were ready to have us a grand pillow fight,
But my Ducky I'm wanting to see,
In somebody's fridge, gives me a terrible fright,
Oh where, oh where can she be?

(jumping into phone booth)...TA DA...it's MIGHTY MOUSIE...to Ducky's rescue...I'm off to fend off snow and cold weather....
Peachy, I'll let you know as soon as there's a sighting...
hold down the Secret Santa fort....and swat those box openers on there box opening hands.... :wink:

I got my package back on Friday the 13th, and though I have been tempted, I have not opened it yet. (I did kind of feel it a little) --Oh by the way, it is wrapped in fabric. Yeah boy, I get an extra piece. Oh, I hope Dec 13th gets here soon. At least on Thursday, I will be thinking about turkey etc instead.

Miss/Mighty Mouse thanks for coming to the rescue I was so nervous where could that Little Duck be. I will hold down the SS fort I will encourage everyone to open their packages while you are in search of Miss Ducky. Yes you heard me correctly I said I WILL encourge them to open their pressies while you are gone I can't help it :evil: I know you have been working so hard Miss Mouse for me to be good, I am trying my best isn't that all that could be asked of me????

Peachy...did I hear you right? I CAN open my box early? :twisted:

Did you ever hear the saying while the cat is away the mice will play???? this is the opposite while the mouse is away the cats will play. HAVE FUNNY ALL YOU KITTY CATS Miss Mouse is out looking for Miss Ducky she will not know what we are doing OPEN...... YES........ OPEN SAYS ME!!!!!!!!

Oh peachy...you are up to it again!!! You are going SMACK DAB on the TOP of the naughty list!!! First you distract poor little mousie with that wild duck chase...then encouraging everyone to misbehave!!!! Have you NO shame???? Do you even know the Shadow consequences of opening early???? I'm not goin' there...and if you are.....*BLAP!!!&**** take that with the pillow!!! :lol: :lol:

Don't accuse me of making Miss Mouse go on a wild duck chase. You missed it.. ( panting ) ....... there was a pillow fight and feathers were flying all over the place I was truely concerned that is might have been Ducky since she hasn't been around. Miss Mouse went in search of Ducky and all of a sudden out of no where there was that darn frog :evil: on my shoulder. He kept saying it was OK to open the pressies. Froggie wouldn't stop saying it, it was over and over again I couldn't take froggie anymore so I told everyone to open them so he would shut up. Miss Patti it wasn't my fault. HONEST!!!!!!! :roll: And kabong. :shock: ....... haha I got you good with my pillow Patti. Hay look the feathers look like snow, isn't it pretty???? :lol:

Ya know...that ornery little elf graduated from brownie snitching to Chocolate chip cookie snitching...sure hope he behaves after I bake pies Wednesday!!!

I want some chocolate chip cookies send some my way........PLEASE!!!!!!

I would tru...but that doggon elf keeps sneakin out of that box and eatin them all!! He better be REALLY quick at windin bobbins!!

I sincerely apologize if I have stepped on anyones toes or hurt anyone in anyway. I honestly didn't mean to do that. I will keep quiet about things now since I was told how things are. Thank you Trupeach for informing me of the ways of the board. Also to everyone else who let me in on the same knowledge. Happy Holidays :)

Ok ladies and gents....

I am sending out PMs to those that I have not heard from as to sending or receiving a package.
If you have NOT sent or rec'd and DID NOT get a PM from me, could you please let me know? There are SOOOO many names and I could have missed a few....

I need to know WHO has not sent as of this point so we can make sure the package will get there in time.
For those who have not rec'd...it's just a matter of making sure your sender has sent. That's how the cross checking goes....

For those that have NOT sent and I DO NOT hear from in the next couple of days,,,,,I will be looking for some Angels to help out to get packages to where they need to go.
It's a shame that some people sign up for swaps and such, receive a package, but never send anything like they should. I does happen frequently...

For those that have already PMd me and have let me know that packages could be late, I have PMd your recipient and have let them know. Life does get in our way at times.....

This may come across as mean, harsh, b****y or whatever, but I really need to cross check names and such to make sure everyone is included.
I just hope that EVERYONE sends and EVERYONE receives.

Thanks!!!
