So the Reveal will be about 10am on Monday December 13th SA time. Anyone else worked it out?
But I am more intrigued by how will we know that it's happening? Will 200 people try to get into the Live Chat?

I was having a bit of a time working out what time chat is but I am thinking if it is 10.00 am SA time then it must be 9.30am Victorian time. Does that sound right?

Well that's what I think I could be 1/2 hour out either way.

sandpat 12-05-2010 05:46 AM

I have a stupid question.....whats with the 1/2 hour difference? How does that work?

sewTinker 12-05-2010 12:42 PM

so we are putting up the christmas tree today. My secret santa present will be placed underneath it, all lonely and everything. (I just can't get over how exCited I am about this.)

and, tlrnhi - I will be happy to drop another SS in the mail to anyone who hasn't yet received one. Just let me know. I'll send it priority. xoxo

In Victoria we are 30 mins ahead in time to South Australian time.

quiltingbee12 12-05-2010 02:09 PM

I can hardly wait!! It is staring at me from my closet - taunting me... Only 7 days left..

maine ladybug 12-05-2010 02:40 PM

The 12th is coming!!!! Only one more week.

koko 12-05-2010 02:44 PM

I'm getting more excited...I can see the day coming sooooooon!

tlrnhi 12-05-2010 03:14 PM

It's coming, it's coming!
Everyone be good!

Everyone should be getting a package soon.
I think I have tracked down all packages.
Some will be late since they are coming across the big ponds or out of Canada. Seems Customs is holding them up on us.

maine ladybug 12-05-2010 04:06 PM

I'm so happy to hear that everyone will be getting a package!! Thank you for letting us all know.

mcdaniel023 12-05-2010 04:35 PM

Yeah....one more week. No peeking.

sandpat 12-05-2010 04:52 PM

Hmmm, I see but I wonder why its 30 minutes only. In the US..time zones change by an hour each time it crosses into another zone. Thats what I meant..its just different and I never knew that there was a place with only a 30 min. difference. Learn something new everyday!

Tink's Mom 12-05-2010 05:46 PM

Terri, I'm heading to the PO tomorrow anyhow...if you need a S.S. gift sent out, just pm me and I will pull one together real quick...Susie

Jennifer22206 12-05-2010 07:01 PM

I can help too if someone needs a SS.

tlrnhi 12-05-2010 07:15 PM

I think we are all fine.
Those packages sent late, there's nothing I can do, so those people will have to wait a bit if they don't arrive in time.

pennyj123 12-05-2010 08:06 PM

Gday, I am still gonna be patient. All good things come to those that wait, and wait, and wait some more. I am very patient. LOL

pennyj123 12-05-2010 08:23 PM

Gday, sorry forgot one more thing, Thanks Terri for all you hard efforts you have put in and trying to locate all the missing SS presy's, you are a gem. And i would also like to be put on the list of extra helpers if ever you need one. :)

SewExtremeSeams 12-06-2010 10:17 AM

Hmmm... looks like the system dropped notifying me when new posts were made. I thought everyone was just waiting quietly for the big day!!!


I'm caught up now. Looking forward to SS Sunday! :-D

CarolinePaj 12-06-2010 10:19 AM

Hi Guys,

What will the time in the UK be? Can anybody help?

Hugs

seamstome 12-06-2010 12:44 PM

I would like to thank my SS in advance as I will not be available on the 12th to do the chat. The 11th is my GF's 60th birthday but her hubby wants us to go out to dinner with them on the 12th. When I signed onto this I just ASSUMED we would be doing her birthday thing on the 11th.

MEN!! Actually he got called into work and time plus a half is good money to pay for her gift.

SS comes every year but your 60th birthday is kind of a biggie!

Thanks to my SS and to Terri. Merry Christmas all if I dont get to say so before the holidays.

KGoodhand 12-06-2010 01:06 PM

I am going to try to make it to the chat! I am excited to see if my SS likes what I picked out! Oh and I want to know what is in the package that I hid in my hubby's office!!!!

Tink's Mom 12-06-2010 02:03 PM

I'm a bit bummed out! With the weather forecast for Sunday, it is doubtful that I will make it home from the craft show to open during the chat reveal. They are talking about several inches this weekend and that will throw a big monkey wrench into an already messed up system.
I will join in asap.

trupeach1 12-06-2010 02:12 PM

Not sure if I will be in chat I would have like to just to see what my person says however DS will be coming home from school for Christmas break and he should be arriving around 6ish....no way an I giving up dinner with him to be in chat. I am sure my person will post once the pressie thread is up.


Thanks again Terri for hosting SS. :thumbup: :thumbup:

ligia 12-06-2010 02:14 PM

I´m expecting to receive 7-8 packages.
Getting impatient with PO... its not snowing here !

At least my partner already got hers.

Jennifer22206 12-06-2010 03:19 PM

I can't wait for Sunday to come! The box is tormenting me!

C.Cal Quilt Girl 12-06-2010 10:21 PM

Mine should be putting out hopefully nice Christmasy smell, who could have gotten it??

tlrnhi 12-06-2010 10:58 PM

Can I start opening mine now? By the time Sunday comes, I'll still have package to open.
Plus, since it IS my birthday, I think I should be able to open at least ONE or TWO!!!!

Quiltforme 12-06-2010 11:14 PM

YES OPEN OPEN OPEN!!!!

Quiltforme 12-06-2010 11:14 PM

So if it is Sunday in my world does that mean I can open my package :)

sandpat 12-07-2010 05:16 AM

NO>..NO....NO!!!! Happy Birthday though :)
