I KNOW. I think she should sell them!

Nice gift idea

The pin cushions are darling!! We all could use one of those...maybe she'll take orders?
Thought my SS gift was arriving today as well when the mailman rang the doorbell...the box turned out to be a light cover for the range hood I had ordered a week or so ago. Had to laugh.

I got my Secret Santa package back on the 12th but forgot we were supposed to post a message when we recieve them. My hubby got the mail on his way to town and called to tell me I had a huge package that would hardly fit in the mail box. When he brought it into the house I might have been tempted to peek, but the package had warnings all over it to NOT open till Dec 12th and a picture of Santa on the back(didn't know santa had such beautiful eyes and long eyelashes) with the warning "Santa's Watching You!" YIKES!!! so I put it under my desk like a good girl and have left it there since. Can't wait till the 12th!....but I will cuz Santa's Watching Me. :shock:

[/quote]I know what you mean. I thought I had gotten my SS santa Package but It was that sneaky little Peachy that sent me the most beautiful pin cushion and lace and fabric!
I am going to show pictures because I just think the pin cushions are so beautiful!! They are really well made and all by HAND. Very carefully crafted and so dainty and clever. On the back she made her own design of a little pouch that hold a pair of little sissors!!! I just had to show everyone. I think she should SELL these things!!![/quote]

Those are the sweetest pinnies, you are so lucky.

Hi ! I mailed my SS firmi on the 15th, and it is headed a L-O-N_G+++++++++++++++++ way south of me ! And today I received a huge firmi from my ss in Australia

Thank you Sue for the help. Will Live Chat really be able to function with all of on there at the same time? How will we ever keep up with the posts. Should be fun. :-D

OMG...those little heart pincushions are ADORABLE!!

I got my SS package today, It came from Florida, and it is heavy. It also has DO NOT OPEN TILL DEC 12,hope I can wait that long.Ha Ha. Thats onlt 4 days after my birthday.

I got a big package from CA. with Secret Santa written on it today!!
:-D .....And now the wait

Selling the pin cushions is a great. Everyone will probably want one.

I got my secret santa today! It's from Utah! goody!

I got my package today too!!!!

received a pressie from James today-should I be worried. Also, it said it was a cookbook, but I thought cookbooks were flat?! And why did it say to be careful opening it-it said something might POP-Out!!! It also had a tear in it. I tried to peak, but the contents were wrapped so I couldn't see what it was.

I also received my gift from my Secret Santa. She said I could take the pressies out of the package and put them in my stocking. My boyfriend made me read the note to him to verify it was okay for me to open the large package. Can you believe there were 9 pressies in that big package!!! Thank you SS.

open it, adoba opened the one that said from James yesterday. it was suppose to be a surprise but you don't have to wait open your too.

Peachy, you are trying to be a bad influence. It says not to open until December 12. So I will wait. I already hid it. :)

No it was from me, just like abondas was. the return addy says SS James
***** Blvd
Steubenville ***
If I didn't send it how would I know that????

gday, Can someone please tell me where the Santa Shop is, i have a friend travelling in the States at the moment and remember seeing it in this Topic, i am sure of it. i wanted to tell her about it. or am i imagining it. I hope not. :)

It is
Santas Workshop
North Pole New York


It is in Lake Placid New York where the winter Olympics were held in 1980.

wow, thanks heaps, i will send her the details and ask if she is heading that way. Thanks again :)

Well, if your are giving me permission I am opening it right now! Thank you Peachy! I love it! It's perfect. I will wait to post pictures until later. I have to find my camera. This gift is so special.

well it is a head isn't it???????????

yes, it is! I got a head and I saw you got a gaggle of frogs. Everyone is getting body parts of some kind!

I'm glad someone put out what chat was like for Reveal Day. It does get crazy in there.
I have been VERY busy with babies. Lauren is having ALL DAY sickness at the moment and all she wants to do is nap, so Grandma is picking up the slack.

I got 3 more packages today. Hmmm....I'm thinking there are alot of people out there that like me. There's another one thumping. I told it that if it continues to thump, that the next time the fireplace goes on, it just might end up in there. lol
There was a big envelope, just had a return addy that I didn't recognize, but no name. I opened it and found the cutest pincushion in there. No card, no nothing. Hmmm.....
Whoever sent it...THANK YOU! I love it! Not sure if I will use it or not, it's just too pretty to stick with pins.

Have you given her ginger tea?????????

Yea! My Secret Santa package has arrived! It wasn't marked as Secret Santa or don't open until 12-12-but I checked with Terri first just to be sure and not get put on the naughty list by mistake. She confirmed that it was. So mine is here, now to put it away where I won't forget.
And thank you Secret Santa Pal, I can't wait to see it. Don't worry, I'll be plenty busy getting ready for Thanksgiving only 1 week away--Yikes.

In case this one isn't possible there are a few other options including

There is Christmas Michigan

I have received my SS package and have mailed out a package also...looking forward to the 12th :)

Oh, is there a North Pole, NY? Cuz there is also North Pole Alaska right outside of Fairbanks.

I check the delivery confirmation on the package I mailed and showed delivery yesterday as well....Yeah

can't wait til the 12th to look see what I got....feeling like a kid in the candy store wanting to open..

oops... in reading all of these, I wrote Nothing cute & adorable on my package to indicate it is from secret santa... :oops: hoping my recipient has her esp up & running.

There is Bethlehem, Pa.

Glad to know my SS package arrived safe and sound to its recipient ;)

I checked my delivery confirmation today and it shows it was delivered! I'm sooo excited!

i received my SS package today and I am so excited, I took it and hid it in my back closet so I wouldn't be tempted. Can't wait until the 12th Thank you SS who ever you are.

Help!! I really need help. My SS box arrived last week and is sitting on the sideboard in the dinning room calling to me. The box arrived with the top open on one end. I can peek inside, see syraform chips and something red. Oh, heaven help me please, I don't think I can wait until the 12th. I was always the one to unwrap and rewrap the gifts under the tree.

I received mine today!!1 Thanks
