Did I post my package arrived in my Po box. Yea! It’s here. I haven’t had time to ( be bad) just brought it in & put it in the sewing room. It will be waiting for me on opening day. Always such a special treat.

kariboo 11-20-2018 05:43 PM

Darcyshannon 11-21-2018 12:06 AM

Is anyone else having problem with this sight posting coming blank? if so what do I do

Yeah, it’s happening all over the quilting board forums. I posted once & then when it went up it was blank. So after that I hit edit & basically retyped everything. I see that some people aren’t even realizing what happens. I’m going to copy this before I post just in case it doesn’t work the first time. I’ll type up a report to the main forum reporting this later too if I don’t see something mentioned.

(It worked this time the first time.)

No package for me yet with either the ornament swap or Secret Santa but I haven’t checked the mail for 2 days. Hopefully something’s there by now.

cuppy 11-21-2018 05:58 AM

Has everyone received their ss package. I hope so.

ckcowl 11-21-2018 08:14 AM

I have. I’ve not seen a post from the person I sent to yet so I hope she has received it. I will check tracking when I get home to see

hav4boys 11-21-2018 01:54 PM

I have received my box and put it up so I do not get tempted.

Not yet... but it is on it's way and I would assume that it has a long way to travel!

Hopefully my partner has received hers and has put it aside until opening day!

Hugs

I just received my item I was waiting on for my pal, so my second package (I sent one with everything else to meet the deadline!) is almost ready. But I am holding it till a few days before opening day, so I can hopefully get your favorite homemade treat to you fresh...but what might it be?

Ha ha ha !!! Maybe!!!

Evie 11-21-2018 05:00 PM

Nope! Haven't received my package yet. Maybe it's coming from far, far away, sprinkled with magic dust. :o

DebbieS 11-22-2018 07:56 AM

My apologies to my Secret Santa. I did receive my pkg. It sat in the rain for two days, but I think it has dried out by now. I just forgot to inform you/ It came from Oklahoma. Thank you.

happylab 11-22-2018 11:05 AM

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!! I hope everyone is having a great day. 2.5 weeks before opening day. Yea!!!!

m-fay 11-22-2018 02:39 PM

I havent got mine yet either and neither has the one I sent to. BUT it is early days yet! Happy Thanksgiving Day to all in the USA. Roast turkey on the menu?

craftyjulz 11-22-2018 05:16 PM

Happy Thanksgiving �� to everyone who celebrates it. I haven’t got my package yet but was informed it’s on the way. I did finally get my ornament in an envelope yesterday. It’s hard not to try & feel what I can. Can’t wait to see what that is. I’m getting even more anxious to hear what my SS recipient has to say about her gifts coming up here soon!

tlrnhi 11-23-2018 05:22 AM

Craftyjulz and Caroline Paj....your packages are on the way. Got confirmation on that.
For those of you who have not received a package as of yet, PLEASE let me know so I can track down your person and find out what is going on.

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. Ours was quiet, just the 2 of us but enough turkey to feed an army.

kariboo 11-23-2018 10:04 AM

I haven't received mine as yet.. but I'm in Canada, so it probably sitting somewhere.. things are moving very slow up our way due to the rotating strike. I'm not too worried, as good things are worth waiting for !

PamelaOry 11-24-2018 10:47 AM

Hello secret Santa’s! Some of your merry elves need help! Please pm me for more info.

b.zang 11-24-2018 12:22 PM

My mail is always picked up at the post office and when the parcel card showed up in my box I was surprised because I couldn't remember ordering anything. It was such a treat to see it was a secret santa gift.

Texastam 11-25-2018 01:22 PM

The package I sent to my SS should have received by now. I show it as delivered.

I recieved a letter from my SS but no package yet.

mrs theo 11-25-2018 02:38 PM

My SS should have received their package on 11\12. I received mine the week before that :) Asked DH to put it away so I won't be tempted to peek...LOL!

m-fay 11-25-2018 07:51 PM

I've been away from home and my DIL has been collecting my mail. Got home this morning and there is was on my table with a return address that I immediately recognised. Do I really have to wait till Christmas to open, or will opening day be ok. I will wait if you tell me to.

happylab 11-25-2018 08:45 PM

Well it sure feels like winter and the type of weather we get at Christmas time. We had our 1st blizzard (hopefully only), for this year. So far we had at least 6”. Windy all day. Last 2 days we had temperatures in the 60’s and now expect 2 days in the mid 20’s. Then up to the 30’s-40’s. Winter got here early this year. So I have been listening to Christmas movies and sewing on a king size top. How is everyone’s weather. 14 more days before the big opening day.

m-fay 11-25-2018 10:00 PM

Summer in my part of Australia is slow in coming. Had temps in the low 30' C. Nothing extreme yet to turn on the air con.

kariboo 11-26-2018 01:30 PM

I got mail ~~ yes,, my long awaited pkg arrived.. and its under the tree.. way at the back ~
tks and hugs ~ secret santa
weather wise - its gently raining here

BrendaK 11-27-2018 02:41 AM

I was just thinking I should probably go into the hole. I didn't wrap the items I sent in my package, I just shoved them in the box. Oh well, hopefully you will have a good time pulling them out of the box. BrendaK

Texastam 11-27-2018 05:40 AM

BrendaK-I didn't wrap mine either....bad SS. But I think my recipient will love it all the same.

m-fay 11-27-2018 02:04 PM

I wrapped mine but forgot to include a card so had to post separately. Same day though

skaduzy 11-27-2018 05:41 PM

I wrapped mine but they wouldn't fit in the box so I unwrapped some and could make it work that way. Some some wrapped, some not :thumbup:

Has anyone noticed that you can't access QuiltBoard from your email notifying you of posts? Or is it just my iPad?

12/9 is the day we all open together. If you look through the thread you’ll see it. HOpe that is the right date

Texastam 11-28-2018 04:43 AM

EEEEKKKKK I received my SS package last night!! I tried not to shake it but the temptation was too much for me...LOL Thank you SS you know who you are...wink...wink.

dharen7 11-28-2018 10:14 AM

The one i mailed, was packed so tight you couldn't shake it,even if she tries.

happylab 11-28-2018 12:37 PM

Texastam, I shook my package too and it made noises. Then I was good and put it back in my sewing room mess. Hopefully I remember where I put it.

I kinda of wrapped the things I gave my person. I call it a cheater’s way of wrapping. The thought was there. I had fun getting things together and getting it to fit the box.

Annaquilts 11-28-2018 01:37 PM

My package sounds like Santa's Reindeer. LOL I have sitting it on a cabinet in the hallway to my bedroom so I need to shake it frequently. ~grin~

craftyjulz 11-28-2018 02:29 PM

Yay! My Secret Santa package arrived today, or maybe yesterday since I didn’t get the mail then, but it’s here! Now just a week & a half about until we all get to see what our lovely online friends have gotten for us.
Hope you all are having a good holiday season so far.
