I've received and sent!!!! Looking forward to a good time this year! Been gone a year but now I'm back!!!!:) Well just found out opening day is DEC. 7th lucky me its my birthday too!

I got a package from S Claus today! It arrived from a very Bright and Glitzy City and I have no idea who might have sent it. Whoever you are, I appreciate all of your time, effort and generosity! Looking forward to posting pics on Dec. 7th!

HAHAHAHA.....Quilt addict....your gave me a Golem flashback !!!

re: OPENING......If we did it at 4 East Coast time .... that would only be about 9pm in the UK/Scotland --- and would be 9am in Australia/New Zealand --- but it would be Monday morning....so some folks might be off to work there. (pretty sure my time math is correct )
Just a suggestion that would be more likely to catch folks from all around the world.

you know what, that's a great idea! 5 p.m. EST is fine by me!

WooHooo! I got my Santa package today! All the way from Santa Anna, Tx! Which is probably @ 2 hours west of me. Maybe I can have a new quilting friend?? Thank you Santa! I'm sure I'll like everything in it. All the thought, kindness & creativity is greatly appreciated here. It's now sitting on the table by the front door taunting me to open since the tape came up on one end. My mail lady threatened to hold on to it til reveal day if I got into it though! I think she enjoys our swap as much as we do! Is is Dec 7th yet???

Wheeeeee!!!!!!!! I finally got caught up reading about49 pages. I have nailed out my package and received a Big box package . Both are SS. It sits near my computer and talks to me every day. !!!!!! It says 'OPEN ME OPEN ME """. I hope that my SS can post photos as I cannot. Also the one that sent to me Would you please post pictures ???Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving early for next week. I am most Thankful for all my friends on this QB.......

Any time to open is fine with me; just say when and I'll be their with jingle bells on!

I'm not going to get to open with the group because I go to a meeting on Sunday nights... but I still think it's a good time, remembrance-wise. I will post my picture as soon as I can after the opening ceremony.

I will be circling around on my Super Deluxe broom...I will swoop down and scoop it up and dangle it just out of reach...MUAHAHAHAHA!

Yippeeeee! We have an opening day and now a time....are we there yet? Huh HUh!

How has the time difference with our friends over the pond in GB and our friends down under in Oz been handled before?

I am not opposed to them getting to open theirs first and taunting us.....lol

PnP

Oooooh! Great idea!!! :thumbup:

See...i was a thunkin' bout that ......

I think that I mentioned that I received my SS box last week. But now I'm not so sure I did. Been Crazy around here so if I didn't mention it -Sorry. Had to hide it- it is too tempting- and not just for me! I'm sure I will be thrilled with whatever I get-everyone on here is so talented!:)

No box for me, yet. That is just fine. It can't taunt or tempt me. Opening day and time are good for me.

I get to work that day, so will get on when get home to see what everyone received. Never have learned how to do pictures if my grandson comes up I will have him do it for me. Made two homemade items for my SS all mistakes are mine which my sil calls an original

I was mistaken since just glanced at the package quickly, but on closer examination it is from IN. No smells but jingles very nicely!

Cattut - I made your Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge earlier this evening. Only had enough ingredients for half a recipe. This one is a keeper! Thanks for sharing.

i posted that i recieved my pkg but its been a while, so in case my ss didnt read my post, im telling you again ,i got my pkg, and its driving me crazy,every nite when i get on computer and read about every one getting thier pkg, it makes me want to go get mine and open it ,but im not going to give in .dec,7th.hurry up and get here lol som

JudyLee.........your are so funny!! :D After reading your post I had to hide my SS package, so you can't find it. Only thing is, I hope I can remember where I put it, when it's time to open on Dec. 7th!! :D I better make myself a map to it's location, just in case I forget that too!!
:D :D :D :D

And Miss Nessie.........I caught that remark!!
:D :D :D :D

That would be OK with me.,,closer to daylight hours I think.

I am fine with whatever time is good for everyone... My whole family is sitting on pins and needles waiting with me.... we are all so excited!

I think it's a great idea! Those in other countries can open at 5 p.m. their time on Sunday, post their pics & tease us too!

Nothing here yet........maybe today.........

I tend to agree HappyQuilter, When I travel, which isn't often, and not usually far, I always check out a quilt shop in the area for something different in material I don't have.

I have been playing catchup on the board for two days now as can't seem to get here and I see all kind of people that mailed out the last possible day, so hard as it is, maybe a few more days will day.

I have read and seen a whole lot of things I would have responded to at the time, but now, if I comment, it is kind of past stuff, lol, will seem a bit strange on some of it.

Nessie, I'm wondering how big your house is as every package seems to be headed your way, or at least from what you say, you think it should be, lol. Maybe you have happyquilter's package.

I too enjoy reading about anything and everything someone has to say be it food from their area, or medical things going on which I send prayers for everyone, or funny stories. This is like an escape, my happy place to escape to, so everyone, keep it up!!!

love love love these

:D AnngelAnne, my house is actually quite small (hubby and I greatly downsized, after kids grew up and went off on their own) BUT I have a shed in which to store those many gifts, until opening day! :thumbup: Oh, I'll certainly find spots for all of those goodies, which are SURELY coming my way! Funny, but I've only received ONE Secret Santa gift, so far. I'm beginning to become a bit concerned about all the others, as they seem to have been misdirected, somehow. :(

You are too funny, lol.

Socks are on their way to MY house . . .

Half a pan of fudge is better than none!! Glad you enjoyed it

If MY socks ACCIDENTALLY go to YOUR house, you should feel obligated to send them to me! Right? RIGHT? RIGHT??? <sigh> :(

You should both make the trip to Arizona. We're one of the few in the country not freezing our toes off . . . even without socks.

Terri did tell me that she has her SS package. I hope she likes what I sent. I took photos so I will post photos of what I sent in case she doesn't.
I wish I could feel better about this.

Nothing here yet. Anyone else on the bench with me? I have hot apple cider with or without a splash of brandy to share.

And remember, good things come to those who wait. Or so I've been told. :thumbup:

:p Pththtblblblblblblblblblblblblbblbbbb~~~~

Penni,

Nessie is taunting you!

Sweet box!!

ROFLMAO at Neesie

Nessie is a star...... And she is funny!!!!

I too am waiting to hear if my person has received...... I sent the package signed for from the UK and every day I check and the post office just say the same old same old..... It has been passed to the recipients countries postal services.... So come on international postal services........ Get a move on!

Hugs

caroline
