I made my partner a wool pin cushion and a mug rug with Christmas themed fabrics. All I need now is the wish list so I can start shopping to add to what I pulled from my stash to share. Let the fun begin.

Was it the Pointer Sister that sang the song "I'm so excited! and I just can't hide it!" Its stuck in my head now, but I am so excited. its going to be so much fun!!!!!!!

I have a shop hop to go on October 15th to the 18th and I will have my Santa name so I can get all my shopping completed!! Yippee!

CookyIN, it is just http://www.roundbobbin.com/ - It was really small this year :( Like I found one item for my SP and nothing for me type small!

:shock: Oh, my gosh! She's never gonna let me live that down! :D Well, just for the record, I did not scratch the package before sniffing! :D

Amen, to what Cooky said! Sheri, you can always ask someone here to play 'elf' and ask your SSantee specific questions, if you need more info on her/him. As long as your gift is from the heart, there should be no disappointed. The coconut rum also goes very well, in a large cup of hot cocoa! :thumbup:

Will they be going out like last year? A few at a time just to keep us on our toes?

Well, I'm ready to get my SS name! I have a quilt show going on next weekend as a great place to start shopping. And I know how to squeeze that $20 til it screams! And my sewing room is a quilter's park-n-swap delight! I already have a box full of goodies, and I haven't made anything else to add into it yet! But I will as soon as I get my SS!

I've had company the past two weeks that has no interest in quilting so it has been difficult getting stitching in. I have so many things going around in my little head though. Mug rugs, pot holders, what will her favorite fabric be? the list goes on and on. What kind of quilting does she like,. Applique? hand quilting? paper piecing? What? What? What? Oh yes what colors does she like? More important.....Who Is She?

Hoping it goes alphabetical . . . AzKAT

Lovely as it is, unless they're moving Arizona, I think Terri does the Internationals first :p

Popping on during my (really late) lunch to check the thread. think the boss lady will notice if I stretch out down in the hole for a nap for a few minutes?

Oh me first, still waiting,and waiting, so excited..

Ohio is not too far from Pennsylvania at all. Maybe I will drive over and help her out........hahaha :D
she is in PA, right?

LOOK forward to the SECRET SANTA SWAP.... been making things and thinking about surprises.... Its also hard to believe it is OCTOBER 1 and we are seeing holiday stuff show up in the crafts quilting stores.... WOWZA..

Woohoo!!! That means I will hopefully be getting my name soon!!!!

I can't wait to get my partners name. This is my first Secret Santa swap with this group and I am sure it will not be my last. I always tell my son that he doesn't have to get me anything for Christmas, so whatever I get from my partner will probably be the only gifts I receive.

HI to all here. This is my first secret Santa swap and I am so excited. I have participated in several swaps here and have never been disappointed. Everyone has been so generous and kind. Everyone has been so funny. I can't wait to get my name, it is so much fun to give. Now off to look at some patterns I have in mind for my secret Santa. I love to sew for others.

Hi, Lisa! ::::::: waving ::::::: :)

Sooooo excited to be a part of the swap this year ! I have been checking the board every 30 minutes all day it feels like in anxious anticipation of a name !!! I feel like a school girl waiting / pacing by the phone for the cute boy in class to call ! How funny is that !

I to am ready to get my SP name been buying all year things on sale I think SP will like. I just need name and something special she would like. Let the fun begin.

I haven't been able to keep up with all the posts, but I have to say I sure am getting excited about starting to make some things for this swap! Yea! Can't wait to get my special person!

"Patiently" waiting" for my SS name So exciting! "Anticipation! Eek...... Found some more "somethings" to add to ""ss's box of goodies..... Is it Christmas Yet? LOL

I am ready for both my name and a game. Missed out on the last game, I didn't realize we were using this forum, so I have just read several pages to catch up. I am waiting for my name, cause I don't want to buy something she doesn't want. This happened on another swap, the item was something everyone could use, oh well I learned a lesson. Im not going in any hole this year, they try to entice you, but I'm quite happy at the top. I can't remember, but didn't those in the hole, go and take from other's virtual stash. Maybe mixing up with another swap on the board. Anyways, DON'T LET THEM TRICK YOU INTO GOING IN THE HOLE!!!!! Lol :-)

I've got my Secret Santa name!!! Yay!!! Now to do a bit of stalking . . . ummm, I mean RESEARCH! :D

Just got caught up on all the posts here on this board!! Waiting for my secret name to be sent to me......waiting....waiting!! This is my first year at this so I hope my ideas will be good for my pal.
Will be fun shopping, sewing, and searching for goodies for my box.

Waiting for my name?? Went shopping today and there's all ready Christmas items out.

No name yet :( But ready for another game!!

Haven't got my name yet, I will be shopping this weekend. Already have box ready and throwing in "things" I think anybody would like. Ohhhh the waiting is awful!

Secret Santa is patiently waiting for her special name. But a game sounds great.

Let the games, I mean shopping, begin.......
