ey cabana boy, where's my hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows? I am sitting here in my virtual recliner in this fabulous hole the girls have dug and decorated. My box is shipped so no worries here for this swap. After i enjoy a little down time here with my chocolate, i can get those ornaments finished for that other swap. The hole over there isnt as big YET but the cabana boy is cute.
accidently posted this on "ornament swap" thread. i must be getting tired.

The cabana boy is over here pouring some wine for me. When I got home this evening there was a nice fat package on the steps for me. My package is bulging and it makes noise!! I had to shake it.:D Now the wait begins.

SheriR...that fabric is SOOOOOO pretty. I promise i'll take really good care of it !!!!

Hmmm seems there is still room inside this box , even with all the goodies inside that stocking ! Guess I best get to finishing off those last few things !

I think if I do NOT wrap the gifts, there'd be more room for more gifts, what do ya think about that?
Must I wrap, I don't mind, but having probs making it all fit without wrapping.
Please reply. This is my first SS swap.

Just IMHO djmat.....but if i were your SS receiver and you made / bought things for me - I would certainly not think any less of you for not gift wrapping everything !!!

Wrapping is optional, makes you SS wait longer to find out what you are giving. You can pack with tissue paper so they don't see everything right a way. I made my SS do a hunt last year. I numbered the packages in the order she was to open them. :D And she had to read a letter as she opened.

I've done it both ways, just depended on if I needed the room also. I've also just put items in baggies and used something that I had made, example a table runner, and wrapped the baggies all up with the runner. I'm sure whatever you do will be just fine for your SS, she'll love it!

my favorite color. hope your my ss;Beautiful bag. LOVE IT!!!

That stocking would be even prettier, with MY name on it!!! :thumbup:
