I'm anxious to get my Secret Santa-ee, so I can get started. It's more fun collecting stuff, if I have a person in mind. Otherwise, I'll buy stuff only I like and will then have to keep it. :o Why am I thinking that's a bad thing? :shock:

Heeding Sharon's advice, I deduce that if I'm gonna join the fun folks, in the hole . . . I should first wait for the offer of bribes and promises. :thumbup:

Fellow SSSNewbies, who's with me? I say we hold out for the best bribes and promises, we can get! May as well go in style, if we're gonna fall anyway! :)[/QUOTE]

YAY! Maybe we should pretend to be super-serious, so they'll consider us challenges and up the bribes. :thumbup:

Well, if you pretend to be super-serious, we'll just think you're nuts like the rest of us.

I just came back from SS 2012 and I was amazed. I started around the time the presents were opened. It was like I was there! Now I know just about what to do for the partner I get, thank you for directing us to the site.

Oh. :rolleyes: Gonna need a new strategy, I guess.

Well, at any rate, I WILL NOT fall down that hole! NOPE! NOPE!! NOPE!!! No one can lure me down that hole!

ok nutbars you cant fool me into jumping into the bad hole with you. no way no how. Our fearless leader is one mean pitbull if your bad. She showed her teeth early on and they are awfully.. pokey! so have fun in the hole I will sit out here watching you in my nice lounge chair sharing a midnight cocktail with the other ones who comply with the rules. I think we will have stuffed mushrooms, chocolate covered strawberries, packages did I mention PACKAGES full of secret santa goodies while you guys will have mud muck and shotguns pointed right down into that hole. Tell me, which side would you rather be on NOW??? (I wonder will those packages have fabric? threads? Christmas cookies? candies? books? patterns? hum.. go enjoy your mud girls go on)..

Oh, this sounds like a good deal, too! I may have to sit on the fence, wearing my halo.

just joined in on the fun...started to collect some things that any quilter would want.

You need to read back a few pages. We have 2 bars set up in the HOLE, one is alcoholic, and one is non-alcoholic. We have our sewing machines, and I can even bring my long arm. We have the HOLE set up pretty nice. So if you SISSIES want to sit outside and watch US have all the fun, then just go right ahead. Did I mention snickerdoodles too?!?!?!
