I know the deadline is Nov. 15, but can we ship before then? I really think my SS partner is going to like what she gets. I've had lots of fun planning for her.

Thanks, Stitch124

I sent mine today, but it's going outside the USA. I wanted to allow plenty of time for travel and customs -- wouldn't want her to miss out on the group opening by its not being there on time! I don't know whether shopping was more fun or opening will be more fun -- but the waiting to open is definitely NOT going to be fun for this kid-at-heart!

Yes you may send early but if you send early don't post that you sent because then you have revealed who you are. Especially if no one else has sent early yet...

Hey Judylee, while you are flying around, can you stop by my house and help me? I need a clone but I can't find my super dooper clone machine.:D Maybe you can help me find it??

Judylee2 10-15-2013 01:19 PM

Hey sewnswewer2, you are just a hop skip and a ZOOOOOM away from me! If we can't find it, we will just make another one. (Digging in closet) I found a super dooper pooper scooper! (tossed over shoulder) Nope not a super dooper clone machine in here. I would be afraid that it would miss fire and make 2 of my DH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I wasn't that bad this year.

Just wait til the packages start arriving! The torture of waiting til opening day & time! It's horrible!! Been working on my Sanatee's package today. Just about finished with this project & have another in the wings to do for her. I won't be able to do anything the rest of the week 'cuz I'll be at our guild's quilt show through Sat., so they'll have to wait.
Hint for the day: I've seen your house on Goggle Earth! You live in a very nice community & everyone takes care of their properties. It's a house, not an apartment.

huntannette 10-15-2013 02:53 PM

wow you ladies are really really bad...never thought of stalking someone on google earth.....wow.....now I know why you are all hanging In that hole he he he....I would NEVER do that!!!;)

That's scary !!! I guess I need to make sure my yard is cleared of debris... I don't want my SS to think I don't need anything :D

Dedemac 10-15-2013 03:10 PM

Hint for my SSR you live in the boonies!!! Con-paired to where I live. :D :D :D :D :D :D

We have been working on our yard too.

mcgeeca 10-15-2013 03:34 PM

Got my SS package today! So exciting but where will I put it so I don't get tempted to peek? Can't hide it too well. Might forget where I put it. This is sure going to be a long time temptation.
Thank-you to my Secret Santa for adding to my excitement...and torment. LOL :D

sewnsewer2 10-15-2013 03:51 PM

Put a note on the fridge where you put it.:D That's what I'm going to do, or I will forget.

CookyIN 10-15-2013 04:06 PM

This is my first SS. Does anyone remember when you opened last year?

I live in the boonies!!! Needless to say, I'm not the only one . . . but I'm gonna try to ignore that small fact. :D

m-fay 10-15-2013 04:43 PM

my clue (I dont give out too many) My SSR is north of the south pole or could be South of the North pole. there again, she could be east of the IDL or west of it....depends which way you want to travel! i haven't posted yet, still waiting on some items, BUT I want to send early so she has lots of time to just Look & wait! hope she likes it all.

rwquilts 10-15-2013 05:33 PM

Mailed out my package to my Secret Sister recipient today! Now I can just relax and watch the chat and see what 'chall are up to? :)

som 10-15-2013 06:24 PM

this is the first time I hAVE DONE A SS SWAP ,it has been a lot of fun, but I was wondering ,do I put my return add, on the pkg? and not my name? thanks som

catjo 10-15-2013 07:22 PM

I am waiting on 2 items I ordered for my person. It is all ready to go, so when I get those two things I will mail out. My person can't seem to locate these in her area. But I found some and they are on their way to me. hint hint.

Dawn..........don't be so sure, you know at Secret Santa time they can tell us anything & we think we have to believe them!!

Ummmmmmm, I think there might be some sort of rule that visitors must bring us snacks of . . . ummmmmm, let's see . . . oh! Fettuccine Alfredo! Yeah, that was it! Visitors must bring a lot of Fettuccine Alfredo and a bottle of nice white wine! :thumbup:


I too have a SS that doesn't post pn here. Sad :(. It makes it harder to stalk her, u less I do like some of you did, and ride the. Room around google earth! Now THAT was a cool ride!!!! Lol

As for the white wine, Nessie, I find wine to leave my mouth feeling very dry & cottony? I much prefer something flavored with coconut rum. Wanna go sit in the corner with me??? :) :)

If your SS doesn't know where you live, it probably doesn't really matter. However, some people use the address of a friend or relative. Some even use the recipient's address but that could cause a problem, if for some reason the package runs into a snag and can't be delivered to that address. Since some folks have Secret Santas in other swaps, one someone suggested we put QB Secret Santa, somewhere on the box (or in return address). :)

Coconut rum is always a good choice and I'd be honored to share a bottle with you, in the corner. I'll grab some hot cocoa, on my way over. :) As for the white wine, I don't care for dry ones, either. Have you ever had the (Castello del Poggio) moscato, at Olive Garden? It's sweet and has a very, very low alcohol content. It's a sparkling dessert wine and quite yummy! If that's too tame, I have a nice bottle of Schmitt Sohne Auslese. It's also on the sweet, mild side. :thumbup:

wanda lou 10-15-2013 10:01 PM

I really wish my SS would post something she really wants.
I am still working away on your package but there must be something you would like.

nurse bonnie 10-15-2013 10:34 PM

Thought I would tell my SS a little more about me. I collect 1.5" & 2.5" charms. I don't like skull & cross bone fabric. I don't mind getting already read quilt magazines. I have also been collecting buttons & didn't realize it. I love herbal caffeine free hot teas, black licorice, homemade goodies, Tweety, rooster & chicken fabric, rickrack & almond joys. My SS lives east of me & in a state I never drove thru when I took a break from nursing & was long haul driving with DH.

SulaBug 10-16-2013 12:20 AM

"HELP IS HERE" for all of you ladies that haven't seen your Secret Santa post yet. If you will just send me their names & address's, I will contact them for you & ask what they would like to receive!! You can trust me to keep everything a big SECRET!! Well maybe you can!!
:D :D :D :D

marsharini 10-16-2013 03:19 AM

This is my first SS Swap and I'm one who hasn't chimed in until now. I've enjoyed reading the chatter here, but had to do so on my phone as I was caring for a relative out of state who had emergency surgery. It's nice to be back home.

I hope I've given my SS enough information; I like to be surprised, so I haven't given any hints other than the info required in the initial sign-up email. Hopefully my profile will fill in the blanks. Everyone on this board has always been so helpful and there's information on just about any topic you might have, so thanks to all who do contribute regularly. I'm truly appreciate my "friends" here on QB.

:D :D :D :D

You're just so funny! You're just trying to narrow down the list of Santa's to determine who you're getting from this year! Nice try, girl!! Hint for the day: there are only 2 numbers on your house.

sewnsewer2 10-16-2013 03:40 AM

Yeah I know Cheryl. LOL but it's fun guessing.
I need coffee! I'm not awake this am. I have to get blood work done, then I can fully wake up. LOL

m-fay 10-16-2013 04:27 AM

i have just 1 more thing to find for my ssr. I do so hope I can find it tomorrow then I can get it all ready to pack. My SSR is one who doesnt post on here either.....how many are there? Please, please ,please come on & post something so we know you're out there. Hope she likes what I've got her.

Wonnie 10-16-2013 04:52 AM

My SSR doesn't like orange...come to think of it, me either!

Seems to be a lot of non-posters in this swap. :(

Tink's Mom 10-16-2013 06:41 AM

Good Try, SulaBug! That was better than anything you tried last year. Just remember...Santa will be watching you and you don't want to get on HIS naughty list.

huntannette 10-16-2013 07:03 AM

Hmmm sounds to me like she enjoys being on Santas`a naughty list! ;)

jaba 10-16-2013 07:10 AM

I'm with you on trying to post from a phone Marsharini, a big pain sometimes. I try to keep my profile current too, it sure helps when you're looking for little clues on someone, just favorite colors, etc. really help.
