Hoping to get my Secret Santa's package in the mail early.....2020 has veered off the beaten path once to many times this year and I would like for it to get to it's destination before this year is over....https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png

My Secret Santa pkg is on its way. Hopefully, the pkg will not take too long to get to its destination soon. It was so much fun putting all the goodies together. Hope they like what I sent.

I posted mine off today after a hectic shopping spree.some things I couldn't find but found most. Unfortunately we only have one fabric shop in our town and so I looked on line to even find out what some things were.. I guess we're a bit behind the times here. I hope my santee likes what I did find and that it teachers her before opening day.

huntannette 10-28-2020 10:47 AM

My package is on it s way!!!! Hopefully it will get there fast!!!!

Juststitchin 10-28-2020 05:43 PM

Will be mailing mine tomorrow 10/29! Hope she will love everything I put in her package.

Lstew2212 10-29-2020 03:00 AM

I am working on one last item and then mine package will be ready to mail.

tlrnhi 10-29-2020 06:43 AM

Packages are starting to fly out! Those that are receiving early are going to have a hard time trying to stay away from package before opening date.

Speaking of opening date.....we've usually been opening around the 1st weekend of December. We could still do that. Can do either Saturday or Sunday, the 5th or 6th. Usually around 6 in the evening? Ya'll decide

Juststitchin 10-29-2020 08:06 AM

UPDATE:
My SS is officially mailed. Should arrive on Monday 11/02. Sure hope she likes everything I sent . This is so exciting. So glad I signed up!❤️

MizMelly 10-29-2020 10:34 AM

Mine is winging it's way to the post office. Should get there the 2nd, or maybe the 3rd if the post office needs an extra day for delivery. Apologies in advance to my SS pal. I stuffed the box so tight you'll need a crowbar to get the goodies out!! ooops..... https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/shock.png

quiltingdragon 10-29-2020 02:49 PM

I have a few things to pick up next week and then I will send a box - if I need to I will send a second box but I want to make sure the main part has plenty of time to get there!


m-fay 10-29-2020 08:26 PM

Everybodies so busy getting their boxes ready to post theres no one in the "hole" to eat chocolate with so I may have to start some Christmas baking. Any recipe ideas?

tlrnhi 10-29-2020 08:27 PM

Remember to message me when you send your package. If you post here, I could miss your post about it being sent.
Thanks

CookyIN 10-31-2020 11:29 AM

marietta 11-01-2020 02:27 PM

Happy November everyone. I have been busy collecting and making stuff for my SS. She didn't request a most wanted that I could fulfill, so have been a bit of a stalker here on QB, lol. Hope she likes what I am sending, if not hope she feels free to pass it on. mfay I plan on mailing my package this week , so I will be joining you in the hole. Will bring aliong some cookies...

I'm still sitting in ' naughty" hole but since i did manage to get signed up for a secret Santa group on another website I havent been twiddling my thumbs other than for couple days after cataract surgery while vision was a bit blurry.

KathyM 11-02-2020 04:36 AM

I'm really close to mailing out my package, need to get one more item.

m-fay 11-02-2020 05:11 AM

Hope your eyes are fully recovered now rose Irish. We'd be lost without them

frsur33 11-02-2020 07:03 AM

Just out of curiosity .. what is everyone's most wanted item this year? What do people enjoy getting the most? Or from past secret Santa's what was something you got that surprised you and you loved ! Could be anything !!

huntannette 11-02-2020 10:50 AM

I actually got a boomerang....I thought it was an amazing idea coming from Australia, it was so cute but my hubby went outside to try it out and he lost it in the snow....it didn t come back! lol

tlrnhi 11-02-2020 07:45 PM

I guess it wasn't a boomerang...it was just a stick. lol

MizMelly 11-04-2020 01:34 PM

Woohoo!! I just received a nice hefty box from Oklahoma! I am stashing it in the closet until I put the tree up.

craftymatt2 11-04-2020 09:45 PM

Yep, this swap is always sew much fun, been doing it a number or years and never have I been disappointed, people are so generous and put lots of thought in the packages. I think this year we can all use a pick me up.

Be safe and well

marietta 11-05-2020 05:54 PM

Received a Secret Santa package in the mail today!!!!! Going to have to put it away in the hope chest and write myself a reminder of opening day on my calendar. Will be mailing mine in the next couple of days.

marcialee 11-06-2020 12:43 AM

My package is going out today. Hopefully it will be a hit.

Juststitchin 11-06-2020 02:12 PM

Hey Everybody,
Just wanted to pop in and say Hello. Its been a few days since I last checked in. I believe my last post was when I mailed my SS package. I checked my tracking number and it shows it had arrived and left on the front porch....I am hoping my package was truly received by the recipient. Not sure how long we wait to see if they truly did receive it or not but I am sure hoping so. I have read through the threads and have not read where mine in particular was.
Any info would be appreciated, as it has been awhile since I participated in a SS.

Have an awesome evening!
Happy Quilting!!

m-fay 11-06-2020 03:22 PM

Juststitchin, PM Teri and she should be able to tell you. We should all pm her to let her know we've sent and received.

Lstew2212 11-06-2020 05:16 PM

I spent this evening packing my box for my secret Santa. It will go out in the mail in the morning. I can’t believe I am mailing a whole week early. Woo boo.

tlrnhi 11-06-2020 09:39 PM

I haven't heard anything from your person as of yet, but that doesn't mean it wasn't rec'd.
Sometime people forget to let me know.
Once I get word from your person, I'll let you know.

I did send a package to a person on the list. Was sent out a few days ago. This person will be VERY surprised!!!
Sometimes I play, sometimes I don't. But I figured that this person needed a package from me. :) :)
I wonder who it is........hehehehehe

hav4boys 11-07-2020 01:42 AM

I received my secret Santa box. Its been crazy here. Now I get to look at it until opening day.

tlrnhi 11-07-2020 09:31 AM

Please!! Please!! Please!! Let me know when you send and receive your package so we can keep track of everything!!

Lstew2212 11-07-2020 02:26 PM

My package was mailed this morning, it will be traveling north east of where I am from. Safe travels package.

KathyM 11-07-2020 04:40 PM

I sent out my package yesterday. I'm going Nov 10-20 to Fort Myers, so needed to get out before I left.

roseirish48 11-07-2020 05:11 PM

today i rec;d a package from Australia. i thought it might be the package from my secret santa from another website but the monitor there says no as none of the swappers are from out of the USA. the customs label lists items that have nothing to do with ornaments so dont think it is my package from the ornament swap on this website but have sent message to Hav4boys to make sure. i didnt get in to this secret santa group this year due to my mistake so am sitting this year out in "naughty: hole. have i been so "naughty" that someone is feeling sorry for me?

Annaquilts 11-08-2020 11:04 AM

My big 6 ft elf is helping me ship. I packed up the package and it is heading out to its destination. It is going very far East from me.

quiltingdragon 11-08-2020 04:41 PM

I'm frantically trying to finish a few handmade items. Of course I arranged to take a day off this week to sew, I am having emergency dental surgery as one of the teeth I have had a root canal on broke off and I need to have the roots removed. But my box will get out to my recipient this week!
