Wow I would have thought you would have had your package by now, Hang in there it's on it's way!

grandme26 11-12-2011 01:04 PM

:thumbup: I think I will be ready to mail a package to my SS person by the end of this coming week. So those of you still waiting please be on the lookout.:o

candi 11-12-2011 01:43 PM

Woo hoo, my pal posted she got her package...hoping I didn't torture her by mailing early, I expected to take much much longer, but glad it got there safely.

For my SS, if you mailed my package, then it is waiting for me at home, I am away and will post as soon as I get home, if you haven't mailed, well, no rush :D I am very bad at waiting :)

You guys are all too funny!!!! You are like my SIL. He can't keep secrets, and goes nuts when gifts are under the tree. He has to shake everything. I used to knit him sweaters and put them in crazy sized boxes to fool him. Then I got wise and wouldn't put his gifts out till just before he arrived for the opening. He would be tortured!. Me....I find it fun to walk by the package and try to think what some "stranger" would buy me. I am so excited to see what is in there. Mine is heavier on one side then the other, so now there are LOTS of questions. But that is the fun of it. And another thing that is fun is the address of the gifter. Mine came from Michigan, and I am originally from Michigan, so that makes it EVEN MORE FUN. Maybe I knew her in my former Michigan life. More pieces to the puzzle......

Leota 11-12-2011 08:44 PM

I got a package from NY today :D but I also got one last week from CA and I have one from IN :D

Now, who sent which package :D hehehe
You can open when you find out who your SS is RIGHT?! :D

Hazel B 11-12-2011 08:59 PM

Well, Leota has received THREE SS packages and I haven't gotten enny! Dat's not fair...where's mine?
But it's not mail time so maybe I'll get it when I get back from my Thanksgiving Trip :D

Lv2sew2011 11-12-2011 09:20 PM

LOL, that's funny cause my package going out also has bells in it...

Lv2sew2011 11-12-2011 09:25 PM

And then you have the husband that says, open it see what's in it. He is one that would open it in a Heart Beat! I just keep telling him NO! I want to wait...and then I think what if there something in there that I could use right now...LOL
But I'm still waiting! But! But!
LOL:D

great aunt jacqui 11-13-2011 08:10 AM

My secret pal recieved her package late october. but I am till waiting. What is the deadline for mailing. It would be sad to be sitting on a snowy bench in the freezing cold on Dec. 11th.

sharon b 11-13-2011 08:31 AM

Nellie have you checked your PM box- if yours is full you can't send or receive messages

Your not alone. My secret santa prezzy went out this past Monday. And she was probably wondering when she would get hers. Maybe some are just waiting to send until closer to the deadline for different reasons. I sure hope the new changes to the board aren't keeping people away. Which, really it's not that much different. Everything is still here.
So, let's wait together. NO nail biting. They will come. :) We've been good. Santa will visit us. :)

Short an Sweet 11-13-2011 04:19 PM

Sandynorm 11-13-2011 06:17 PM

I just checked and see that my SSpkg was delivered yesterday, although I have not seen her on the board, but then I am not on all that much, too busy at the sewing machine! Still no sign of a package for me yet, but it is early.

Umm you're all very welcome but it's a long long way to come just to play with my quilty stuff.

I would love, love, love to come. Maybe some day........

So, Dreamer is getting a new treadle to be. Yeah for her. I have one that is perfect condition...except the belt thingy.
I have it and directions. I just haven't tried to fix it. That probably qualifies me as naughty.

mcdaniel023 11-14-2011 03:13 AM

I have to get ready for work. Have a wonderful day everyone.
Remember, Santa is watching.

lindyline 11-14-2011 03:26 AM

Pm me when you'll be here. I'll meet the plane. We're only ten minsfrom airport.
Yes you are naughty. I have a treadle and I use it.
Bad you!!

dd 11-14-2011 05:21 AM

Did we decide on a time yet? I sent my pkg on Sat. so you will be receiving your pkg soon. I haven't gotten mine yet but I'm waiting patiently.

grann of 6 11-14-2011 05:29 AM

Mine goes out this morning, in just a little bit. Bells and all:D

I have to thank my Santa for not tormenting me by mailing early!! :D

I'll be mailing on Tues/Weds...and yep! I'm getting excited!! I so hope the person I'm sending to isn't disappointed in what I send!!

grann of 6 11-14-2011 07:26 AM

This is so funny...went to the PO to mail my package. Now you have to realize I live in a rather small area, about 8000 people in the mailing area. The postmistress said my mail carrier told them all about my SS gift arriving Sat.
