Secret Santa updates. Two weeks into Advent and two weeks to go! I think most people should be sending their gift about now. I've sent mine and a few people have emailed me to say they have too. Would you like to post here if your gift has been dispatched? (It does help me to keep track!)

Sent off my SS on Thursday, went to ER, spent two days in the Cardio Unit (had nothing to do with the stress of making something for an unknown person that hopefully they will enjoy), home now, doing well, looking forward to the unveiling of all the wonderful gift inspirations.

Haven't finished making mine yet, so it may arrive late.
Just too much going on to really concentrate on sewing so I hope my recipient will understand not all of us are so organised.
OK, now I'm getting back to it and hopefully get it finished today, as long as the thunderstorm doesn't cause a power blackout. Aaaargh!!!

My guess is that it will probably be the first to be opened.
by aussiequilter 20 Dec 2011
Olly , I keep looking at it , isnt it exciting waiting , waiting, I have been so busy with things going on at church . like break up parties and making up christmas hampers, and carols night , and suppers , its been kinda easy not to peep , but now they have all finished and I will be at home with my ss package ,,I must be strong.....lol

I got home tonight and found a parcel from my address. LOL!!!! Of course I know it is from my wonderful Secret Santa and I promise I will not open it until December 25.
Now everyone knows, a present needs a tree to sit under, so maybe this weekend I will convince Ray to help me decorate our home.
Thank you SS, this is going to be really difficult not to open. :-))) hugs n roses, Meganne

That was a really good idea of your Secret Santa's to use your address twice -as long as it's correct and gets there, of course. I went through my address book to find an address that I knew someone at and I could use. It crossed my mind that we could all use a different cuties address that we may already have handy. It needs to be a valid address just in case the delivery doesn't work out.

all use a different cuties addy that we have. Needs to be a valid address, just in case...

My SS gift arrived just now. I don't have a tree up yet to put the package under though. I have been so sick with bronchitis that I have had no energy to do any decorating. The kids are coming over on Sunday afternoon with a tree. Hope to feel better by then.
Thanks SS and Sue

Just some reminders as I know some of you are getting twitchy!
1. Not everyone will be at home over Christmas to receive or open their gift so they cannit post here until they get home.
2. Some people are struggling to get their gifts sent off in time for a whole variety of reasons. Some I know about and have passed on a request for patience to the recipient but I can't read minds and there may be more out there with problems. If you haven't yet received your gift please be patient and philosophical.
3. You may well have opened your gift but please don't post pictures until I set the ball rolling! Having said that please post a picture as soon as you can - it is only fair to your Secret Santa to show everyone else.

I'm sure our most efficient coordinator will pass that info on to your recipient. Things vary such a lot in how long they take that we need to be a little tolerant of delays, too. It'll be a lovely surprise when it gets there.

Nice looking visitor. Looks to be the same breed as the one on the floor behind me, only this one is mostly black -with white socks -hence her name is Sox. Blue is the most popular colour for greyhounds to be adopted -black goes last :(

Her name is Amber.She is a lovely natured dog So easy to take for a walk.I may get one next year.
