handmade is the best!

7ish pm in the east or in the west or in the middle? :shock:

7ish what timezone??? I usually have bible study on Sunday nights. I really want to be there!!!

:shock: :shock: me too :shock: :shock:

I'm having my daughters 2nd birthday party on the 11th. She was actually born on the 15th, but that isn't good for the family. I won't be able to be here if you choose to do it on the 11th.

[quote=Quiltform I have to say that since I am alwasy the nice good girl I kinda like being naughy!! IS THAT WRONG :)[/quote]

Nope that is perfectly fine. No one is nice all the time!

My son's birthday is the 15th too!!!!!!!!!!

Oct 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of you girls are being naughty, naughty! Now Peachy, you need to tone it down a bit...you might be hurting littleone's feelings. Terri already thinks she is getting a bunch of extra gifts, probably pulling out her Head Elf shirt from last year and trying to put her addy on the list instead of yours for your SS person. The real SS knows better though......not to say you won't be getting coal or something bad, but.....I'd be careful if I were you bad girls....

Anything handmade is wonderful. Hope you get my name!

Handmade is wonderful! A gift is always wonderful. When you give the time please note what time zone. As far as I know the 11 is ok for me.

I hope we can do it the Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving. Just let me know, I'd love to be in on the chat

[quote=trupeach1]Hello have you ever heard of Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde!! If you keep being NAUGHTY you might just stay that way!! Be careful!

It starts out slow but....................then you really start to like it and well.......................... You Know??

OK sorry for the repeats but am I correct I have been trying to read and make sure I didnt miss anything, We in the US dont get our names until the 20th of Oct. and then we have to have it mailed by 15th of Nov.(sooner preferablly)Thank you for who ever answers. For some reason I have not been getting updates on this topic and my little box has been checked this whole time!

In Canada we are celebrating Thanksgiving today so we can't go to the post office before tomorrow.

I have my name already and have been busy thinking of neat stuff to put in it.

Oh man I cannot wait I have been searching for all sorts of homemade gift ideas!! So what things have you see made on this board that you would not make yourself??? Just an idea maybe might help some of us out!! I love handmade gifts!!

Oh my gosh...there are SO many cool home made things! Alot of it depends on if the person is new. Like I'm so new that some of the really "easy" things, aren't easy for me..LOL! Those treadcatcher/pin cushions are on my list to learn someday, the little organizers, pin cushions in general...LOL! :D If you get a Newbie like me the sky will be your limit!! :D My person will be getting home made candy for sure :)

Ladies, ladies!!!
There are some that are wondering WHY they don't have names as of yet.
Those that are sending out of the US and those that live outside the US already have their names, so don't fret!!

I'm going to TRY to get names out this weekend since the deadline for signing up is Friday. That will give me the weekend to get names out.
I won't have a hubby around, so that'll make things better/easier for me. :)

Just remember.....your package HAS to be out in the mail NO LATER than NOVEMBER 15th!!!

Start thinking about a good day/time for revealing in chat, so we can get that posted. I know it's going to be hard for everyone to settle on a certain day/time due to life issues, but the majority will rule on this.

Revealing chat~ As far as I know I can do any weekEND afternoon, or any evening.(Eastern time zone USA) If it is during the week I will be at work in the afternoon, but can do it in an evening after 6 pm (EST). I know there will be no perfect time for all. If I can't make the assigned time I will Wait and open when I can after the reveal and post here.

I am pretty flexible as to when we do the reveal. I am in Mountain time zone. I have never done a live chat so this should really be fun.

I love homemade goodies :D... That is traditional Christmas ... homemade has more heart hehehe... I want you for my SS :D

Note to who ever gets mrgreen.... ducttape with JBWELD the package shut and an alarm that goes off at terri's house telling her he peeked :D

Hay has anyone checked the sign up list lately??????????? I will have you know that there is meaness going on. There are 195 people and only 2 have comments next to their name. Sandpat...........I guess she has been sucking up to Teri because next to her name it says ONLY NICE ONE ON THE LIST. And the other person is.............me and it says naughty. I can't believe it Patty sends people frogs, I should know she sent me one last year. I was Stars SS and I sent nothing mean yet I get that title of naughty. IT AIN"T FAIR!!!!!!!!! On top of that it is written next to Sandpat ONLY NICE ONE ON THE LIST sooooooooooo that means everyone but her is naughty. It is so nice to have company!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: So there are 194 naughty and 1 nice.

And the cheese stands alone, the cheese stands along hi ho the derrrio the chesse stands alone. Thats right Sandpat you are the cheese. Smelly rotten cheese!!!!!!!!! And you are standing alone........so take that little Miss Prissie goody goody~!

Hey Peachy! I wouldn't want to stand alone. I guess I'm glad I'm with the other 194. But I think the people who talk about how good they are are really the oposite. Don't You? Just like Braggers or the little girl who cried WOLF! I think that there are 194 good girls and ONE Naughty Naughty little girl. What do you think Peachy?

Sign me up international or local either way is good for me. see you soon.

Bobbles, trinkets, notion, and more; Oh the goodies too; yum yum yum. Have had to up size the box 3 times already. This is just as exciting a Christmas morning. I'm not on the naughty list, never have been so I'm sure Santa will bring me something really special.:)

This sounds like fun. I have pm'd you with my info. Ready to shop! Thanks for organizing! Sally

I'm looking forward to this - it is my first secret santa swap!!

Well according to Teri and her list there are 194 naughty people and 1 nice girl. That nice girl is supposely Sandpat. OOPPPPP sorry I just snorted when I was laughing and tea came flying out of my nose and mouth. I better clean my screen and key board.

I was shopping for SS and SQA for Christmas. I looooovvvvveeeeeee eveything I got. So much so I got the same for me!!!!!!!!!!! See how nice I am I thought of myself too, no way am I gettting giped on pressies that I love.

Oh my...what a surprize!!! I had NO idea that Terri thought I was the ONLY good girl...well *blushing*....I do try. :oops:...now you know that she does in fact have Santa's ear...

I don't mind standing alone...you know somebody's gotta do it...:lol::lol:..

Good idea to get your own pressies Peachy...its best to be prepared :D:

:P :lol: Emily I'm in the SS swap too!!! My first time tooo!

Now lets see how long you can live up to your reputation of being the nice girl.

Yes it is good for me to be prepared. After last years animal/reptile fiesco and every pressie I received had a frog in it I don't know if I should take the chance of opening pressie from anyone but ME!

It's my first time also for the Secret Santa. I'm excited, just like Christmas Eve.

Notice to newbies.... remember... you have to wait several LOOONNNNGGGG weeks before you can open your pressie.....
It will torment you to the bitter end... but then you will have a wonderful surprise :D
Happy SS

Well, if you are worried, I'll be nice and brave and take a chance..send them to me and I'll open them for you :wink:

Isn't it great to see so many new faces around here??? They must think there is a bunch of nuts around here...hmmmm...reckon they are right???

:wink:

I never said that I was normal. :)

Must by why I fit in. :)

WE HAVE 199 PEOPLE!
Can we get ONE more to make it an even 200?

What I find amazing is how they are jumping right into the crazyness along with us.
