Sounds like lots of fun down there in the hole. I do hope Newton can mix drinks well, my husband does them for me, For those with allergies, I am leaving peanut butter balls on the edge up top. I have so e spiced rum and egg nog to share as well. I have asked Rodney to expand the hole. A bit as there seems to be a need for space to put more lounge chairs. Can so done turn me in the direction of the ladder so I can crawl out and get to shopping! I got my name to let the fun begin.

Received my secret Santa name.

Still haven't gotten my name & I'll be out of touch most of this coming week, busy with 3 grandboys. Maybe I can sneak into a LQS to pick up some little tidbits.

Well no hints on here about my partner, didn't see any posts so, will fill with goodies and hope she likes them. I do so loe purple???

Waiting for my name also-had such fun doing this last year!

Woke up this morning...... It must have come overnight.....signed in as fast as I could.....aaarrrggghhh...no name yet!!! Guess I might as well see who is in the hole today!!!

My person gave me great ideas. I'm excited!!! Stalking wasn't real helpful..... I'm fixin to recruit my daughters help too. She's always good with ideas!

Got my name and it didn't have an info on it except for their favorite color of fabric...Oh my..went to members list and no information their either..hope they put some hints on the thread..in fact ladies if you haven't shared any info with your ss, then maybe we can share something on this thread..Just Sayin

Still waiting patiently for my SS name & info . . . I think I'll sit on the bench. . .

Jane

Well I've just staked thru 5 pages and found.......nothing! think I'll go to the club car for a coffee, then off to bed.

I did some snooping on my ss but no luck.. Will have to approach from different direction. I think my ss might be a newbie to this group! Now there is a hint for those of you who try to figure out who your secret Santa is!!!

Hey Ladies,
If you got my name, no worries as I always WANT IT ALL!! Hee-Hee
:D :D :D :D

Well, still patiently waiting...no name yet. :( Guess I'll go work on my mysterytrain..........I will check back later.

Ooohhh Mosher92--- What is that on your Avatar. It looks beautiful!!

I'm still with all y'all - no SS'ee yet......working on a Christmas present for my sister - stitching the blocks into rows... but keep walking into my office after every row to look at my in box....even double checked the "junk" file just to make sure it didn't go there by mistake. The suspense is sure building !!!!

I'm one of those who is not a poster....just a reader! But I did my best to give some sense of what I like. When I got my SS, I was delighted to see a lot of help for me in her entry. Hopefully, I will please. I love this swap; it's the only thing like this that I do. And I do love to read the daily entries from our more social quilting sisters (and perhaps, brothers.) I don't celebrate holidays other than to bake cookies for others, but I love to see the enthusiasm that many do feel.

LOL
Sula you crack me up.

Just hope I didn't "overload" my SS with info of my likes/dislikes.

In my opinion a wide variety of info is better than not enough or
no information.

I am working on a box of stuff and one thing for sure my S.Santee
is going to get LOTS of fabric (NOT part of the $20 gift). Just wish
there had been more information to go on.

*************************************************

On another note I get more and more excited everyday not just
for opening day of the SS packages, but also because I am going
to be a first time Ya-ya in April 2015.

I have so many things to do/make for the baby that I almost
don't know where to start LOL.
Of course not knowing the sex is what is holding me back some
as I don't know if I need to continue with the jungle theme for a
boy or start working on Disney Princess stuff for a girl.
My daughter doesn't want to find out ahead of everyone else so
she is wanting to have a "reveal" party to announce the gender
to everyone at the same time including herself.

Did sign up start? This looks like fun.

Signup started and ended. So sorry you missed signing up to join us.

My avatar is an on going scrappy. My first and at the rate I am going it will be my last. Thank you for your kind words.

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered, but I didn't
find anything about it.

How many people signed up this year for the swap? is the number
up or down from last year and previous years? (last year was my
first time for the annual SS).

THANK YOU for all the hard work you put into getting this organized
each year.

Checking back...still waiting! :(

Received my Secret Santa name.
Did a bit of research.
Empty box is on my desk.
Now the fun begins!

A requested gift collected.
What to do next?
Gather more or sew?
Wish to add a few surprises.

Back to the hole and wait I guess, no SS name yet.......football games, chocolate and coffee. working on my gift to my SS
or maybe start my mini charm quilt or go shopping. Such big decisions.......I think I'll stick around the hole and wait with my friends

Oh give me a hole
where the rum punches flow
And the Santee Claus secrets all stay

Where seldom is heard
any non-quilty word
And the butler can pass 'round the tray.

For those first time stalkers, FYI on our info page there can be up to three tabs to look at. If the first page is blank go to the second tab the About Me tab with luck they posted something there. Then check to see which threads they are active on and if they have started any, read any posts they have going. This info is on the left side under their name, Also their albums are a good chance to see what they favor in the way of colors and styles. I just viewed mine and saw that I need to be more helpful so I guess I should update it for my SS.

Oh, yea! Got my name, now to go do some stalking as not alot of info. Hope she likes the gifts I've been making along the way...now the fun REALLY begins! :)

all names are out. If you haven't gotten a name, PLEASE let me know.
There are some that have mentioned they didn't get one yet, but I know I've sent it.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know if you don't have one.

I got my name a couple of days but i had my empty box ready now its about half full with more to come. I just love the excitement and the wait i just get so nervious and its hard not to tell what is in the box

Hee-Hee...........I aim to please Quilty Louise!!
:D :D :D :D

Now we have our own theme song -- how cool is that? :thumbup:

Ya'll can sing it in the hole lol

This should be our theme song! LOVE IT!!! :thumbup: :)

Hi Terri...although i just sent you a PM....thought i'd also note here - i'm one of those who didn't get a SS name yet.

You should have it now

I have my name and I'm in stalking mode now. Need to find out something about this lady who lives in the same state I do other than she likes surprizes.

Now the fun really begins.
