Oh dear, I'm behind! I still need to get at least one more item for my Santee's package, then see how much I can stuff into a flat rate box and mail by deadline! Oh, the pressure!!!
P.S. We Arizona folks don't mess with our clocks, we stay the same year around! However, I haven't been able to turn off that automatic time change on my alarm clock. It sure messes me up twice a year when the rest of the country changes time zones!

Dear SS receiver,
Just a little note, I DID buy wrapping paper, it is very pretty paper even.
However I got 3 very SMALL items wrapped before my husband banned
the paper.
Why did he ban it you ask? because it has glitter snowflakes, and the glitter
is now all over the house.
So with that being said I have decided to play it same, I am wrapping your
gifts in something different.....

If you pay for postage on-line consider the Regional Rate shipping boxes. Box A which is a tad smaller than the Medium Flat Rate costs me $8.92 to ship to my sister in NY. Box B, which is a bit larger than the large Flat Rate box costs $13.37. Both are $5.00 cheaper than the corresponding Flat Rate. You have to use the special boxes which are free.
The closer you live to your Santee, the cheaper the Regional Rate postage. I can send the smaller one to Oklahoma for $6.15 (cheaper than the Flat Rate envelope!), $7.90 for the large one. Best bargain around!

SS got my package in the mail today, this is going to be so hard waiting for a month to open it. I put in my sewing room clear on the other side of the room. Hopefully I can forgey about it.

okay, everything is wrapped--including the three items i had forgotten in the sewing room--and into the box. still havent had the chance to get to store to get the snacking goodies--will do that tomorrow and mail Monday morning. Then i need to get busy on the other secret santa swap i am in and also finish up item or ornament swap. Why do i manage to get further behind the faster i go?
