I know what you mean.I had bread coming out of my ears,it was everywhere :roll:

Ok, all names are out.
If you signed up and YOU DID NOT get a PM from me with a name, PLEASE let me know ASAP!!

Also, PLEASE put a card in your package so the person you are sending to knows who it is from.

One more thing...
When sending, I know it's hard to be secretive, but with the way the mail goes sometimes and things getting lost, I suggest you do your return address as follows...
SECRET SANTA
YOUR ADDRESS
YOUR CITY, STATE

that way, if it does get lost/undeliverable, it will go back to you instead of in some outer space place.
OR..
Use a relatives return address, but let them know in case the package DOES get returned.

In the past, we have put the same address as the senders for the return address, but some people are a bit leary of doing this.

I want to make sure I get this right. The RETURN address should be

Secret Santa Pal
Secret Santa Pal's Address
etc.

or should it be

Secret Santa
my return address
etc.

It's tough being an elf.

To be on the safe side?
I'd put Secret Santa then YOUR address.
Most of the people for their profile have "in hiding" so it will be a bit difficult to figure out who is where

But, then again....you can just send them all to me! :)

Yes, I think we should send them all to Terri. Then she can either hand deliver them or have a big party and have all of us over for the party.
I would like lobster and shrimp. Any other ideas?

Hey Tru-- I got my name and guess who it is ??? LOL I'm not telling .... :wink:

I don't want to guess.............so there.......and raspberries to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Sure! Come on!!!

I know who it is! LMAO!

Whoo hoo! Names are all out.. now let the real fun begin! Oh the things I can make or buy.. hmm

I got an AWESOME name! Thank you. I'm going to have so much fun shopping.

Leota, didn't think about that! yeah it does need to be kneaded weekly. ok thanks for that one. Mary

Just got my name! I am so excited! now to find stuff! or make stuff!

You must have gotten ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my name for the secret santa and making up th package today. This secret santa is so much fun.

well, since the mailing deadline is not until November the 15th, I think I am going to wait until after the local Quilt show at the first of November. Just in case I find something really cool lol

Oh goodie....I love stuff from a quilt show...hint....I LOVE gadgets!!! :wink: And just so you know, I don't mind waiting for my pressie..:lol:

I was thinking she got ME :lol: :D :wink:

LOL! I thought you were on the naughty list. ;)

Psst...just a heads up...everyone is sending to me!
Ya'll just think that you have different names, but the Post Office has a change of address in for everyone ONLY for packages. All packages will come to me! hehehe

Now, now Teri you know you can't have lots of packages sitting around your house. It is bad enough when you had 1 and it was talking to you could you imagine 200? They would have you in a phych ward before opening day.

Did I miss something, when is opening day so we could write DO NOT OPEN UNTIL............on the box.

I'm leaning towards December 12 for opening day.
What would be a good time?
The time would be EST.
What do you think....7PM EST??

That sounds fine for me.

works for me

Sounds fine. :)

EXCITING!!!
Thank you Elf, for sending a special name to me! :thumbup:

So many ideas brewing out there!!
Just so you know....
Bread Makers, I no longer have an oven at all :shock:

Dec 12th @ 7pm EST works fine for me ... I'm excited and thinking of ideas ... I've been looking around and I have one idea already :D

Several things on my list to get ... :D THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!!!

Good thing you sent out pm's because once again I was dropped from this thread. My package is all put together and is ready to go!!!

I just need to put mine in the box and address.

Have updated my scheduler, will be one line Dec. 12; 5PM MST.
I know I'll be get a really nice pressie cause I am just a little angel. I all ready gave Santa my wish list. He has come through every year fulfilling my dreams and wishes.

I have missed almost a whole week of being on the computer and things do change. I will be sending my package by the end of this month. I am taking the plung and having my left hip replaced. At least the re-hab seems easier than a few years ago.

Keep you on my prayer list for a speedy recover. When are you having the surgery?

Having the surgery on Nov. 1st at 8 AM. Looking forward to having a pain free Christmas.

You are too funny!But I am beginning to think you might deserve them all for all the work you do on swaps,round robins ect..How about you posting your addy for us.

Can't wait for the 12th of December! 7 pm sounds like a good time to me.

I think you might deserve it for all the work you do to make swaps work.

Don't post your address on an open forum. Send it to someone by PM. Anyone in the world can track more information than you want them to know with that kind of thing. Be Safe.

Works for me! I marked it down on my calendar! I'm so excited!
