I am excited ... I can not hide it ... I can't wait to thank my SS ... waiting patiently patiently patiently (okay not too patiently) :D

Goodness... I had the date wrong.... I thought it was the 7th December for the opening. I will pack it all back up and forget what I saw!

Hugs

Depending on the weather, I may or may not be home to open with the rest of you...I would like to thank my SS for a box that Tink is still guarding. I wonder if she thinks that it is for her?
I will check in asap...I know that I'm getting a bit antsy thinking that there is fabric in there and it is calling my name...

So, my daughter informed me today that my DGD's singing in the choir on Sunday evening. I won't be here for the chat, but I want to thank my SS and I will post pics on Monday!!!

For everyone that won't be here for chat, just post pictures when you get time. No worries.

For those that still haven't rec'd packages....hang tight, I'm sure the mail is just slow coming from where ever the packages are coming from. So far, I have them all accounted for...or so I was told.

Yippee! I received my SS package today. The good news is I only have to wait a couple of days before I can open it.

Thank you!

AAAHHHH!!! I'm soooo excited!!!!! I just can't hide it I'm about to lose control :)

This has been so much fun, so much to talk about. this is my first santa swap. I also am very excited to open my gift and particpate tomorrow. thank you to those who have taken their precious time to host this.

Won't be online for the chat either but THANK YOU to my SS. I know whatever is in your package I will absolutely LOVE! :)

Only 1 more day!!!

WOO HOO I can hardly wait !!!!!

You know what would be REALLY mean?
If I moved the date to a later day and time. hehehehe

that is down right nasty and mean, thinking naughty list for you....... :lol:

Do you REALLY think I'd do that? muhahahaha

The evil elf comes out. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

ROFL.... That would mean that you'd have to wait longer to open your pressIES ... hha ha

:lol: :lol: :thumbup:

I won't be able to be here tomorrow night , so am Thanking my Secret Santa now. What ever you sent is perfect as I have nothing really to start quilting with.

I would simply, just open mine anyway.

My present has been sitting on my vintage sewing machine for so long that it has a mile-high dust collection!

I will wait 'one' more day. :-D

Why do you think I said "do you think I'd REALLY do that"?
Because that means I'd have to wait longer too! I don't want to wait any longer!

ROFL :thumbup:

Idea!! Hey, Terri, let's open them tonight? I think that would be terrific, don't you? Oh, poops, I just don't want to wait any longer. The package is just sitting there all by its lonesome.... :-( :-( :-(

Terri, What if your packages are magic? and at midnite they all dissappear?

Great idea!!! I can't be here tomorrow night, so tonight would be so much better then waiting till I get home. to excited to wait much longer. :thumbup:

:oops: :( :oops: :cry: Well..I guess my Aussie friend still hasn't gotten her package. I am SOOOO sorry!! :oops: :( :oops: :cry:

Well for us in Australia, you aready have. It's currently Sunday December 12th at 10.20 am, well past opening time!!! But I will wait until tomorrow.

Terri, If you have as many packages as you say you do...you may need to start opening them 1 an hour until the official opening time...and that means that you have to open them every hour on the hour or you forfit... ;-)

Only 22 hours and 53 minutes to go!!!

This is worse than birthday gifts under the christmas tree for the next day. rofl

I'm sure the packages that went across the big pond are on the way. Mail has slowed down a bit lately. Took a week for a letter to go 50 miles from me, so I think holiday mail is starting to back up.

Everyone hold tight. Not much longer to go and then the opening shall commence!

Where are all those that said they were going to help me?

Why do you need help now?.... all the names are dispersed and pressies sent... all you need to do is sit back and relax now right??? drink hot cocoa and munch on sugar cookies :D

I need help opening all these packages!

I am a firm believer in a backup plan for my backup plan. If I have trouble with the chat thing tomorrow night, should I do anything special besides sending my Santa a PM (if I have their name) and post on this topic? Or will there be a new topic to post all the Secret Santa gifts to show them off?

I will have a special thread open for all those to post Thank You's and pictures of what they rec'd.
I also suggest that you sent your person a PM to let them know you LOVE what you got. Sometimes the thread gets so long that it's hard to read thru everything, so a personal PM is good too!

lol...just tell Big Boy to go at the ones that he has been so interested in.

Is there a certain time we are supposed to open, or can we just open on the 12th??

You can open anytime because no one will really know, but usually we wait to open until chat, then tell what we got and post pictures

Here is my question....since my package went to Aussie via the Pony Express and still isn't there, should I at least tell my pal that it is in fact on it's way and what was in it, etc.??? What would you want me to do??

Wait until tomorrow to reveal yourself. Since Australia is a day ahead, they may get it sometime tomorrow and telling now would ruin the surprise. So, just wait and let her know it's you, but don't tell her what is in it. Let that be a surprise

Sorry, wrong area to post this.
