I know that a lot of you have already sent your gifts and that at least one has arrived!
Please could you post in this thread when your gift arrives so that your Secret Santa knows it has arrived safely and I can keep my records up to date.
It is entirely up to you whether you open it or save it until 1st July, but please don't share any details or pictures until then!

Secret Santa or Secret Sister?.

Sister really, I'm afraid I tend to use either word.
Christmas in July is nice, I will also open a Christmas parcel from a friend in Canada when I get home in July. G

Panic stations. I sent the details out on 4th May! I've just resent yours so we should be OK.
Thanks Sue, have just received your email. I will try and get something done ASAP. Love Chris
Knowing you Chris, you will make something beautiful and get it there on time.
He he he - thanks for the vote of confidence Sarah. I hope I can make something which the recipient can use and be beautiful at the same time. Love Chris
I have no doubt
Glad we found out in time!
I have no doubt either!

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

so the folks in Australia and New Zealand can open theirs before Europe and us in the US. Maybe set a time based on GMT and go then!

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
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.

Dear Sue,
I just wanted to let you know I posted off my present this morning (Thursday 18th June 2015) to my Cute recipient. How's that - and with 12 days to spare? Love Chris

Good for you Chris!!!!
I knew you would get it done.
Well done!
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
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!

Hi Sue, I just wanted to let you know that my parcel arrived on Friday. I will be away when the date comes to open it, so I won't be able to comment till about the 7th July. We are off to visit Trev's family in Canberra. Love Chris

Thanks. Chris. That is just about half of the gifts now safely at their destinations with about 10 days to go.
My mistake, we are leaving on Thursday morning not tomorrow. Love Chris

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

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

What stamps does your husband collect?
Great Britain and Scandinavia big time, western European countries less intensive. These were German.
