I sent out my Secret Santa surprise today. My DH went to the post office for me..on his return he had a package in his arms. He dangled it in my face and said "Secret Santa Package is here" Then he walked of with package in hand..said he was hiding it. LOL..
I won't be able to open mine with everyone else. My daughter is graduating from Nursing school on Dec. 12. I can't miss that!!! She has worked so hard and I want to be there to see her capped.
Peace and Blessings,

CONGRATS !!!!!!!!! Tell her we are proud of her :thumbup: And of course you for raising such a fine daughter :lol:

quilterken 11-15-2010 02:56 PM

Hooray, put mine in the mail today... Nothing like waiting till the last minute.

CraftsByRobin 11-15-2010 03:07 PM

I received my secret santa gift today in the mail! I want to thank you in advanced for the aweseom gift. Not sure if anything in there was loose, as there are two holes (one in the front, and one in the back ... both a bit bigger than a quarter) in the box. This came all the way from Gerber, CA.

Thank you so much I can't wait. My family keeps saying ... you mean you are going to wait? How will you be able to wait ... and I said ... "It's the rules and it's the right thing to do ... besides I want to stay on Santa's GOOD list!"

pennijanine 11-15-2010 03:15 PM

Sent mine off today too, with delivery confirmation. So, keeping my fingers crossed that it makes it OK. VERY heavy package, no flat rate shipping on this one!! Hope my person enjoys it as much as I enjoyed gathering! OK, just a hint for the direction it went. OK

twistedsheets 11-15-2010 03:21 PM

Sent mine off today! And found I had one sitting at P.O. from SS

Peace and Blessings,

Congratulations for your daughter's graduation. :thumbup:

Well, I just came back from the post office. My SS presents are in the mail... well taped, I might add. Oh, and when I arrived home my SS gift was in the mail box. DH was surprised I am going to wait until the 12th. I told him I have to, it's the rules. :-D

rehrensberger 11-15-2010 03:49 PM

My package is now making it's way south, but from the North Pole--most places are south. I hope you like it :-)

trupeach1 11-15-2010 03:55 PM

So who is the wise guy???????? There was a note on a SS box and it said I could open part of it. Well there is no stopping me until........... out pops a gaggle of FROGS. Do frogs come in gaggles?????? I thought for sure it was meant for Patty. I checked the name thinking maybe the SS had the right persons name but wrong addy. I as told I could have the red pressie. I proceded to take the fabric off the red pressie. Yes they were wrapped in fabric to find the cutest cookie tin. I quicked popped that lid off...........what in the world was I thinking I didn't use caution and what pops out?????????????? A frog. Now there is no senders name so I am at a loss for who it might be. There is another pressie in the box that I can not open until 12-12, I am now not sure if I want to. Not in the house anyway. Now I am perplexed am I SUPPOSE to thank someone for this or not?????

abonda 11-15-2010 03:59 PM

Who ever it was I think they should be on the NAUGHTY LIST!!! Was it a dead frog or a live one peachy???

Candela59 11-15-2010 04:06 PM

Well my package went out in the mail today...right on time! I sure hope she likes it. Then when I went home for lunch there was my package waiting for me on my doorstep!! Hooray! Now, I just have to be patient and wait and wait.... :mrgreen:

littleone 11-15-2010 04:09 PM

Peach has a Little Frog

Peachy has a little frog
His name is Tiny Tim,
She put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim,
He drank up all the water,
And gobbled up the soap!
And when he tried to talk
He had a BUBBLE in his throat!

Peach - whats for dinner??????? frog legs?????????

Nope - wasn't Littleone to send frogs.

grammyj 11-15-2010 04:20 PM

The gaggle came in a heavy plastic bag, they were doomed from the start. Do you think anything could live in a tightly sealed cookie tin?????????? I hope they didn't suffer and died quickly otherwise it was a mean cruel death. The sender didn't put their name on it. I guess they were too afraid to that they would go on the naughty list, which is where they should be. COWARD!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't think it was you, you are too little they would have sucked you up with their big long tongue. Not only that you are on the way to the Pole and I think you know better then to upset peachy.

Tink's Mom 11-15-2010 05:14 PM

Peachy, Whoever they are sent you some very nice fabric wrapping paper and a nice cookie tin that you can refill! :roll:

Caroltee 11-15-2010 05:24 PM

I got a BIG Heavy pkg from my SS today. Ohhhhhhhhhhhha I hope I don’t walk in my sleep tonight and accidentally open it up:) My DH said he would hide it if I could not control myself, but am afraid he will forget where he hid it so am really going to try and control myself and be a good girl:)

AtHomeSewing 11-15-2010 05:28 PM

It's here, It's here!!! I got my package today!! Thank You Secret Santa, I hope you'll be at the Live Chat!

quiltnchik 11-15-2010 07:07 PM

Mine went out in the mail today and is headed west. Where, oh where could that be?!? ;)

seamstome 11-15-2010 07:14 PM

Mine is out too...mine is headed to some place that I am sure even a National Spelling Bee winner could not spell but I hope she likes it.

aitcht 11-15-2010 07:19 PM

sent my parcel out today. leaving Canada and heading over to the USA!

blossum 11-15-2010 07:21 PM

Sent mine out today and also received mine

Terryl 11-15-2010 07:23 PM

I got my SS today from someone in Claremont CA. Whomever my pal is, is a very good artist, they drew a santa on the box. I asked DH if he knows anyone in CA as the picture looks a lot like him :) :) :) One Christmas we took DGS to the mall to see "the REAL santa" (according to DGS) and DH was asked if he would like a job the next holiday season to be santa LOL. Thank you very much secret santa for my gift. Am putting package in my sewing room so I can see it each time I go in.

tlrnhi 11-15-2010 07:36 PM

Yes, please PM me if you sent or receive. I will be going back thru the messages to find out if packages were sent/rec'd, but will take some time.
If by next Friday, I am seeing people have not rec'd their packages (stateside people), I will be sending out MEAN PMs to find out where these packages are. That's one of the reasons for the Delivery Confirmation and why it is so important.

Anyway....my mailman thinks someone likes me or something. He came to the door with not one, but SIX packages today. Machel was here when Courtney brought them in. A couple of the squishy envelopes said "thanks for hosting", but I'm not opening those until Reveal Day.
I want to thank everyone in advance for sending me something, but HONEST, it wasn't/isn't necessary, but I do appreciate it. I am going to have so much fun opening all these things that I don't know what I'm going to do. Probably cry is what I will do!

We are leaving for Thanksgiving weekend and I'm going to put a STOP on my mail while I'm gone. No one will be here to get the mail and I don't want any packages to sit outside and fear for them to go missing, if you know what I mean.
