When is opening day? It looks like some opened upon arrival and others are waiting for the chosen date. Was it December 6th? I am happy to wait until everyone gets their packages being sent internationally. My box is tucked safely in a corner.

Darcyshannon sent me a wonderful package full of nice items. You can see all of it below. I received my most wanted item - long stainless steel needles. These will come in handy for a lot of items that I make.
Thank you again Darcy!
Merry Christmas Everyone!

OMG..... my Secret Santa Box arrived this morning.... and of course, I didn't have to wait to open it! BrendaW (I hope that is your board name), I am so totally overwhelmed.
Firstly Brenda wrapped everything so beautifully (see Picture 1).... then I had so much fun opening everything (see picture 2) and then I was totally overwhelmed by Brenda's generosity, kindness and thoughtfulness. My most wanted item was one of Lori Holt's Gentler times Quilt Seeds patterns.... Brenda sent the whole set - I was so touched! And I was only saying yesterday after snipping apart a load of chain pieced squares that I needed a cutting gizmo.. and one magically appeared in my Secret Santa box. There was also a whole load of other goodies (see picture 3).
Brenda, thank you so much for being my Secret Santa, for you thoughtfulness and your generosity which was totally above and beyond. Thank you!

My package was marked as "Do not open until Dec 6" but I haven't seen an actual post with an opening date unless there was something in the original post I missed. I'm waiting till some of the internationals arrive to open mine.

We didn’t have a declared opening day. I’ve been waiting until everyone had their packages, hasn’t been hard for me I got horribly sick and have been in bed for over a week so my patience hasn’t been tested too hard. Maybe we can get a roll call on who all is still waiting for their package to arrive?

CarolinePaj was my Secret Santa and she spoiled me! First, look at that gorgeous project bag she made with the vinyl. I have a friend that I know will try and "steal" this when she sees it...since it's her colors.
Caroline sent me several pieces of fabric that I can use for my several collage projects. My most wanted was the big Kaffe flowers to fussy cut and put "in" a collaged vase. But she also sent pink fabrics for the pig collage I've been working on for over a year now. And of course, as my usual MO, I started a smaller sunflower collage project before finishing the pig...so now I have some greens, browns and yellows for that.
I also received needles, scissors, a glue stick and yummy yellow thread! I have a feeling the hot chocolate bomb will be consumed this weekend when I watch a movie...
Thank you for everything Caroline! Merry Christmas...

I opened my secret Santa package from @LAF2019 and boy she did so awesome and included so many wonderful goodies: for snacks there was licorice, junior mints, and chocolate (all winners!), fat quarters are geometric print greens and blues I couldn’t stop staring at (just so pretty I can’t wait to decide what they will become), a large cut of blue floral fabric and the cutest cut and sew skunk who is definitely going into a floral quilt (so stinkin’ cute!), and she also included a pile of mini churn dash blocks to incorporate into a project, a hand warmer and a bookmark. I so appreciate all the thought and planning that went into collecting all these lovely things LAF2019. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

I got a beautiful box from b.zang (Barbara), who got as many things as she could thru the stupid tariff rules from British Columbia, Canada.
She sent me cat fabric that coordinates, a music fat quarter and s from some batik from Quiler's Corner in Vanderhoof, BC. A big Back of assorted Lori Holt Nifty Needles which was my most wanted item, a an Amy Bradley quilt diva pattern and pin, a coaster for my sewing room, 2 Oz of loose honey licorice tea from Myrchie's (est 1894), plus a bunch of tea flavors from her cupboard to try, and a bunch of mini Canadian chocolates. And of course the required card reveling her identity, plus, to my delight, a long, newsy letter I will return at the first opportunity with some tea from my own local tea shop.
Please excuse the mess in background, this is my dad's room where I had my package hidden away, not mine!
(b.zang, can you please message me if the return address on package is the best to send you?)

This is a thank you from my daughter, she can't remember who sent her wonderful gift. She's currently working at school and doesn't have the card with her.
"Thank you for The amazing quilting box! I absolutely love all the yards of chicken fabric. The blue chickens are my favorite! The neck towel is something I don't have! My boys and I have already devoured the chocolate! Thanks for everything"
Thank you
