Yay! I have my name and I'm going to florida for a holiday next week. There will be lots of opportunity to find fun things for my giftee! I do hope she likes all the goodies I have in mind.

I too received my name. Not a lot of information, but hopefully I can stalk her to learn more about her and find out what she really likes and wants.

Have my name, not too many clues but have done a little snooping and have some ideas. Love getting the package together. It's great to read the thread and meet all my fellow swappers. This is my first Secret Santa and I'm a little worried about the hole !!!!! Missed the last game so looking forward to the next one.

I got my name too and I must say I think it's destiny I got her. I have connections and things I know she'll LOVE!!!

I have received my name as well! Already pulled a coupe of things from my stash, now on to stalking!

Oh, where is my name???? Have some things ready.

Don't have my name yet but it looks like they are going out. Just popped in for a minute..but signing off cuz the storm outside has "OZ" written all over it.

I am so excited I got my name. And she is going to be fun to shop for but I have been gathering things since last year. I had so much fun but I have to admit hubby had to hide my first box which was a total surprise and my second box was awesome she gave me some soap that i just loved.

Still waiting. The suspense is killing me!!!

Still waiting too! I may have to jump into the HOLE and sip some of the coconut rum while I wait.... Didn't you say that there are lounge chairs there???

I'm slowly getting names out. My internet is playing with me. Wants to stay on, then go out, then stay on, etc.
Please be patient

I thank you for doing this! I know it is a lot of work. I am enjoying the "waiting".

I got my name, yay!!

Never had coconut rum so that's to look forward to, a snack table and easy chairs and loungers. And this is punishment? Will have to get baking to replenish the snack table.

Did I mention the lounge chairs? Ummmmm. . . I meant LIZARDS! Yeah, that's it! Very scary place!
Shhhhhhhh! Just come join us and we'll share the goodies. :thumbup:

Coconut rum is sooooooo good, especially when splashed into hot cocoa! Yeah, the 'others' think being sent to the Hole is punishment . . . but they've NO idea how much fun it is! :thumbup:

I had never had coconut rum until last year's swap, my partner put a small bottle into my package. I just may have to do that for my santee this year.

Absolutely! Neesie is taking care of all of us who are waiting for our Santees -- snacks, coconut rum, lounge chairs. Come sit by me and chill out while we wait. Ahhh, it feels good to put my feet up!

Okay... I have to ask.. what exactly is " The Hole" and what exactly do you have to do to get sent there ?

i am no sugar no grains in "real life" so somebody pass me a grilled cheese sandwich, please :) ... glad to be here i have my name and my box from the post office.

LOVE your avatar.....i seriously need to cross stitch that and hang it over my sewing machine ...or maybe i should just throw caution to the wind and get it as a tattoo ???? Where's the rum?????

You should get it tattoo of it that LOOKS like it is cross stitched onto your skin ! PERFECT compromise !

The Hole is where those of us, who happen to be a bit more 'spirited' than the rest, get thrown. Most of us simply jump into it, willingly. ;)

I am ready to join you all in the hole. I just have one question, did ya get rid of the snakes? I can't abide snakes! (or eight legged "icks" either! I am bringing tequila, orange juice and grenadine, Sunrises for everyone! I plan to bring dark chocolate covered potato chips too if I can find them!

I got my name and it's going a long way away to someone who was in the swap last year (don't know about previous years). I've got enough information to get her parcel well under way. :D

Uhoh, it has been a long while since I have slipped the tequila into my Mountain Dew, but it sure does sound like alot of fun down there ... * peeks down the hole * ... maybe just for a little while .... lol *jumps *

I will join you all in the "hole" as well.. And Mademkelly I have those chocolate covered chips for us all to enjoy as Ester Price candy store is very close to me.

Whew! Thanks Terri for posting in the other thread that we were to come back to this thread. It made it a whole lot easier!
I see some old faces popping up! Glad to see we've got them all returning! Let the fun begin! I've got my SS partner's name, now to fill in the blanks. Been adding to the box all year, now to just polish it off.

Neesie.....pass that rum, girl! I'm down here in the hole waiting for more to join us!!

Woohoo!!!! I got my name! Now to start 'looking ' around for some more info!
Knitette love the Scotland bag! I have a thing for bags! Love a different sizes and shapes!

Still patiently waiting for my SP name, but oohh it is so hard!!! Getting a box together already! Can't wait to start the stalking phase!

Hi, Neesie ::::::::::waving::::::::::::back at you.

I hope you meant me.
Anywho I have my long Island iced tea at the ready. Also looking for snickerdoodles to go with it and then off I prance to the hole. I haven't exactly been an angel this year. hee hee Save me a lounge chair because after a glass of my tea I will need to relax in a lounge chair, as I brush off the cookie crumbs from my shirt.

waiting for my name still. I think I will get my box out super early this year just to torture my SS so they have longer to look at it, shake it, scratch it, sniff it.....anything but open it! I guess that makes me a 'bad' girl. Pass the coconut rum as I jump into the hole! Chocolate covered potato chips too please!

More names are out. I'll be putting out more in the next few hours.

Don't have my name yet, so I guess I'll grab my diet Pepsi (don't drink) and join y'all in the hole. Those chocolate covered potato chips sound tasty.

Cindy, I set the rum bottle down for a moment, there was a flash of bright colors flying past me, then the bottle was GONE! Every now and then, I hear a clink of glass-on-glass, so it's still in the Hole somewhere. We may have to break out a new bottle. :eek:

This is gonna be so much fun! Once again, I've received a VERY nice person's name, for my Secret Santee. Am looking forward to getting to know her better, through stalking. Bwahahahhahaahahhaaaa!

I hear the clinking too, but this hole is awfully dark today so I can't make out who might have it. Tell you what, we can either break open a bottle of my champagne for Mimosas or open a new bottle of coconut rum. What's your pleasure?

Got my partners name today -- Yahoo!! Can't wait to start getting more stuff.

CookyIn.....I vote for mimosas. Good change from coconut rum and will taste good with these sausage cheese balls I just made!
