Yes, if you put the pressie in a Giant Christmas Stocking, they will be all snuggly and won't get lonesome

If she puts them together they will breed like mice and by the time opening day comes she will have TONS!!!!!!!!! Way to many for 1 person. I guess she can send some to me.

Of course it drank the water straight away...it was sooo thirsty! Try potatoe chips...most things like those.

Peachy is just making mean comments to try to stir things up. Terri, your poackages might multiple, but thats a good thing (or so I've always thought) :lol:

trupeach1 11-01-2010 06:43 AM

Where is everyone???????????? I guess Patty is out frog hunting again, and the little cricket is probably under some dried leaves trying to keep warm. It got mighty cold in her neck of the woods. Littleone.......well who knows where she is since she is always in Lala Land. I am beginging to worry abour abonda she NEVER leaves the barn or reindeer. Magnolia hasn't been around for a few days. Terri is probably watching her pressies to see if they are moving. Who did I leave out????????
Leota I know is busy busy busy.

I guess I am the only one getting ready for the big day. Today I will be packing pressies. Hopefully they will be mailed this week.

cbridges22 11-01-2010 07:59 AM

No abonda is not in the barn with me.Just me,the reindear and what is left of the barn cats that littleone did not insite the deer to stomp.We mailed thoese to Terrie.I am sending out pressies and trying to get the reindear groomed for the parade.So I am here just busy,busy,busy!

sharon b 11-01-2010 08:12 AM

I am minding my own business- that way I get to stay on the nice list :wink: LOL

littleone 11-01-2010 08:54 AM

“Littleone.......well who knows where she is since she is always in Lala Land.”

Peachy you must have selective reading eyes. Look back, Lala Land is west of Rockies and north of 49th. I am nowhere near that area, may have originated from there but that was before I seen the light.

And what’s with the accusations that I incited the reindeer to stomp on the barn cats. This Littleone loves little kittens; even though they make me sneeze a lot. Is there an imposter out there that says they are the Littleone!!!!!!!!!

Now this Littleone; that’s me; is so curious as to know what she will get for having her big toe on the Nice List. If she could get whole bodily on the Nice List would the pressies be even more super! How can I get all of me on the Nice List, I have been off doing my own thing, not being bad, would bribery to the Head Elf do the trick??? Without causing an over load to the server, any suggesting would be greatly appreciated.

I check in from time to time. I've been so busy working on all of the presents for Christmas. Also, Santa had me check the naughty and nice list. Seems there are some that he has on the 'in-between' list. He wants me to watch everyone and let him know where they should go. Does anyone want to come over to the workshop with me tonight to finish up some more Christmas gifts? I will make some fudge and bring it over. Can anyone else bring anything?

I will be there. I LLLLOOOVVEEEEEEEE fudge yesterday I made fudge brownies and had heartburn after eating them so I think I will pass on the fudge. I will make oatmeal raisin cookies, caramel popcorn and cinnamon apple cider.

Maybe if you send me all your pressies I could talk to Terri and she will put you on the nice list. It's worth a try.

sandpat 11-01-2010 04:13 PM

Ahhh Peachy, you can't get rid of me that easily. "out frog hunting" my foot! I've been so busy organizing Santa's list and all his GPS systems on the sleigh. I run the IT department for him ya' know. Any little glitch and the night would be spoiled for everyone! So....none of this slacking off partying for me...no "special" brownies- which it appears ya'll will be diving into yet again. Hmmmm....my fingers might get twitchy when I'm working on the software for the lists....:wink:

Nancy in Louisiana 11-01-2010 04:44 PM

Had mine all ready to mail out and forgot something so had to slit the envelope to put it in. Now that it's open, I keep pushing small things into it. Hope I can get it taped back up to mail.

Pinkbutterflyquilter 11-01-2010 04:55 PM

I just finished my shopping today and got my present all ready to send out I will be going to the dr on wednesday so i will take it to the post office that day. I had a hard time getting my fat quarters, my person requested somthing specific and I wasnt sure so I has to go to a specfic quilt store and they of course knew the answer right away! They are so good! I even wrote on the package do not open till Dec 12th. LOL Like that will stop anyone! But it was fun shopping for Christmas!!!

abonda 11-01-2010 06:31 PM

Hey Peachy I'm back at the Pole. Sorry but I had to go to Cape Cod!! I wish it were for sight seeing but it wasn't. My wonderful FIL who is 91 is at Heavens door and My wonderful MIL who is 86 is not far behind him. So I have been back and forth to the cape which is an hour and a half drive one way! to the hospital and trying to make plans for MIL. Can you believe they still live in their home?!! Well not anymore. So sad!

I heard that there has been a package movement!!! Is that like a bowel movement? Just asking? I hope what ever it is didn't go to the bathroom in the pressie? gross! I did hear that It drank alot of water???

Peachy are you off the Naughty list yet?? lol (I think NOT) I would love to come to the party but I can't bring the famous brownies since I have no more of the secret ingredient? (Used it all) How bout I bring jello shooters!!!!!!

quiltergirl80 11-01-2010 06:47 PM

My gifties arrived in the mail for my partner...now to wrap em' up and ship em' away for the long travels across the pond!

sshhh..don't tell...I live on an island, so it could be going anywhere!

lindyline 11-01-2010 07:21 PM

I sent my package out yesterday, and it has a long way to travel, cos I really do live on an island. A really big island. Should be there by the end of the week, or maybe beginning of next week......

You might have to get a box to put it all in or maybe send them in two (or more) packages :D

Leota 11-01-2010 07:37 PM

I sent out a pressie today :D

C.Cal Quilt Girl 11-01-2010 08:12 PM

Had a Suprise in the mail box today !!!! With a SS and warning not to open. But I did shake:)
O.K. will wait, but It's going to be hard !!! :)

Leota 11-01-2010 08:24 PM

Do you know how hard it is to buy/make pressies for people when you don't know their sizes?
I think that on any type of secret exchange sizes, colors, allergies likes and dislikes and any other important information should be mandatory...IMHO. There I said it... it's off my chest...

With all that being said.... to my SS...Tippy did a tutorial and I would like a piece like the fabric that she used... here is the link so you can see the fabric http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-73577-1.htm
here is the line ... Springs Creative Products Group.. Bird Sanctuary by Rosemary Millette... thank you SS :D

Tink's Mom 11-02-2010 11:49 AM

Mine is ready to go...Will take to PO either this afternoon or tomorrow morning... ;-)

brenda21 11-02-2010 11:56 AM

Mine went out this afternoon :)

sandpat 11-02-2010 12:33 PM

OK...this is weird...my nice maillady delivered a mystery package to me today...It doesn't say SS...or have any other return addy on it. So....I didn't order I know...of course I had to shake it. When I did...it..it...it...GROWLED! I dropped it like a hot potato!! Now its in the corner where I've poked holes in the box. I hope to appease it with food and water (I'll actually try chocolate and liquor.) If I can't appease it, I'll hope that it will pass out so I can get the box open. Wonder when I should plan on getting it out of the box???? Since it doesn't say SS...nor "don't open until..."..I can open it anytime, right????

abonda 11-02-2010 12:52 PM

If it doesn't say SS or Do Not Open I don't see why you can't. BUT I Wouldn't? I would be too afraid to?

ljdugas31 11-02-2010 12:53 PM

sent mine out last week :D

Aren't you doing SQA??????????? maybe if is a really nice pressie from that and has nothing to do with SS!!!!!!!!!! And maybe if you don't open it your SQA will be looking and watching the SQA thread to see if you post a thank you that you got it. I think you have no choice but to open it. You can't have your SQA waiting and wondering for over a month if you got a pressie, that would be rude and a sure ticket to the naughty list.

Tink's Mom 11-02-2010 01:23 PM

check with Terri before opening...besides if it is growling...you need to have something to keep it in line, like Terri's cat...

wouldn't your SQA put that in the return address? Maybe you can look at the postmark and figure out where it came from... I'd ask terri or just wait... usually, growling pressies=SS pkgs... thats the alarm system put on all of them ....

pamdux 11-02-2010 03:17 PM

Alright ladies I just took the time and went and looked at 2009 SS opening pictures. And boy are you guys on the NICE list for sure, IF you have been this nice all year. If you are having problems about what to get for your SS, you should go and take a look there. Any frogs in your packages?
