I know that a lot of you have already sent your gifts and that at least one has arrived!

Thank you secret Sister the Postman drop off my parcel today can't wait to open it!

I haven't received mine either but maybe it will be here on the last day, or even on July 1st. Then I can tear into it on the way back from the mailbox.

My mailbox was empty again today :(

I have not yet received my post but hoping it is in the mail. ~hugs & ** ~

I received my gift in Friday's post. Thanks so much Secret Sister, and of course Sue for her patient attention to these exchanges that we all love so much!

My SS is really helping me out with this waiting game. Only a couple days to go and I don't have my gift in hand yet. Don't have = Can't open.

What stamps does your husband collect?

by mops 27 Jun 2015

Great Britain and Scandinavia big time, western European countries less intensive. These were German.

Seven to go. I hope someone is keeping an eye on Nan. (Only 5 days now!)

Posted my gift off yesterday. Should be received before the first.

Daughter Jennifer tells me my secret sister gift has arrived, G

I have 21 gifts already accounted for and waiting for 8.
Nan, there is to be no opening early!

Oh darn!!

How many Cuties participated in this exchange? By counting up the comments I believe it is about 25, or is it more?

Both mine was sent out and my gift arrived. Thanks Sue!!

How many are still unaccounted for? If only they all were at their destinations, maybe we could open them early? (LOL) Hugs. Nan W

I found my gift outside the front door when I went out yesterday evening. I had not heard the postman earlier in the day. Its totally safe leaving parcels by our front door so my SS need not worry. Thanks in advance for your gift which will be saved until the date. Apologies that I didn't post lastnight and I have been out all day today. All I know is my parcel has travelled quite a way to get to me

Posted my gift off today. Should be received early next week. So to my SCS enjoy :)

Well, I haven't seen a post that my Secret Sister received her gift...but I did track the package and it showed that it had been delivered...hope that means that she has it!

Pheeew, thanks!

Mine had a very long ride all the way from Texas but it arrived safe today .Carolyn

Just wanted you to know I recieved my SS gift today one day before my birthday what a great time to get it. Thank you SS I will try very hard not to open it.

After a great day of sewing with a friend I came home to hubby asking me what I had bought. I said nothing and he came out with a parcel and I was able to say it was a present, Mine arrived today. A big thank you. He has put it away

Good for you Chris!!!!

by airyfairy 18 Jun 2015

I knew you would get it done.

by spendlove 18 Jun 2015

Well done!

by pennifold 18 Jun 2015

Thanks all for the vote of confidence! Had to make it on the Brother sewing machine as my darling Husqvarna has gone back into Thorpe's sewing machine shop. It won't do fancy stitches as the needle holder won't move sideways!!! Maarten is a bit perplexed!!!! I'm a worry! Love Chris

by greysewist 24 Jun 2015

I can relate to that story, Chris. I've put 2 machines into the shop for repairs this week. One on which the screen shows nothing, the other has the needle bar drift to the right until it hits the needleplate, foot or feed dogs. A 3rd machine also had a very suspicious sizzle type sound come from it, so that's also having a rest as well. Some weeks it is not fun sewing as a job :( Machines have a hard life when they live with me!

Got my package. It's at the my sister's place. Do not know from it has come. Will go to her place only 27th June. Just waiting. Thank you.

A package arrived at my house today ,,,, can I be good and wait !!!!!!

HI ALL WELL I GOT MY GIFT DONE AND IN THE MAIL TO DAY.I AM ON TIME FOR A CHANGE FEELS GOOD..I SURE HOPE SHE LIKES IT.I AM NOT VERY GOOD AT IT..I AM INPROVING WITH EVERY PROJECT..MAYBE ONE DAY I WILLBE AS GOOD AS YOU GUYS...THANKS...SUE... LUCY

IT IS THE THOUGHT AND FRIENDSHIP THAT COUNTS. I AM SURE THAT YOUR SS WILL BE DELIGHTED WITH YOUR GIFT

I am sure that nothing can stop you from opening your present at midnight Australia time. I am sure that Sue wont come and check us all out as we open our gifts

by queenofhearts 17 Jun 2015

You can open it whenever you wish, even if there was a set time you would be the only one who would know whether or not you followed the rules. I opened my Christmas gift as soon as I received it.

I hope that mine doesn't come until we are closer to the deadline because I am not good at playing the waiting game, so if I don't have it I wont be tempted to open it. LOL
