quilty-louise--to have someone open a sealed addressed package that is not theirs is an act punishable by law. It lis illegal to tamp with the US Mail and opening someone else's mail comes under that definition. She oughtto be thanking her lucky stars you are not pressing charges.

Over the weekend I was at an Exotic Bird Expo, so during the day
I wasn't home (of course).
My box came in on Saturday, and I posted that I got it and sent a
pm to Terri.
Sunday my brother and his wife was coming to see my hubs so he
could work on their computer and of course they KNEW I was going
to be gone.
My SS box was sitting on my desk, so Carrie (my sil) asked my hubs
what was in the box. The conversation went something like this:
Hubs - oh that is her secret santa gift.
Carrie - well she must not be to interested in it since she hasn't even
opened it yet.
Hubs - Oh she is VERY interested and it is killing her to have to wait.
Carrie - why does she have to wait?
Hubs - Because that is part of the swap fun when there is a "scheduled"
opening day so everyone can have fun at the same time.
Carrie - well that is just dumb.
My hubs and Mel (my brother), went outside to look at something on
hubs Jeep. Than they left.
When I got home about 4pm I sat down at my desk and noticed my SS
box was not there. I asked hubs what he did with it. he said nothing it is
on my desk. Then he walks over and said well it was there.
After much searching I found the box under my desk and it had been
OPENED but the flaps folded/tucked. To say I was VERY mad would be
a major understatement.
I called her today and told her that if she can't RESPECT my privacy and
a SEALED box with MY name on it that I didn't want her coming to my home
anymore.
Later I get a call from my brother wanting to know what my major malfuction
was with Carrie. When I told him what happened to my SS box he was not a
happy person with his wife.
She used to not be like that. Don't know what her problem is but I may not
forgive her for a long time.
I DO want to let my SS know that I did not look in the box, but handed it to
hubs and asked him to tape it back up and HIDE it for me. Since it is obvious
that it is not same on my desk.

my package came last friday. It has sender name and address on it. If they are correct then she lives in same town as my brother and his family. I visited there for a week in 1981--was not impressed with the local police department and even wrote a letter to the newspaper to lodge my complaints.

Perhaps she smelled candy inside! I had to hide my SS package from my grown and nearly grown kids! Me, I can wait....patiently.

Did I say that??? I don't recall saying WHO I sent to! I just keep leaving little hints to see if they can figure it out! So far, they haven't guessed. I suspect who mine is from & if it is, will be getting a phone call right after opening time. I do think there are going to be some BIG surprises come opening day!

QuiltyLouise, so sorry to hear about SIL incident. Glad to hear Brother & hubby took your side in the matter though. Now that hubby has re-taped & hidden it, I think you can rest easy knowing it'll go untouched til opening time. Probably won't have to stare at it either! Lucky girl!! LOL
