LAQUITA 10-15-2018 09:00 PM

Yeah. I can't wait to see who I get....

skaduzy 10-16-2018 07:32 PM

I have my name ...yeah!.....and thought of something I would like that I did not put on my list. It's the criss cross apron by Mary Mulari....new or used...I wouldn't care as long as the lg or xl size is there :thumbup:

CookyIN 10-17-2018 03:43 AM

skaduzy, I hadn't seen that one so had to look it up. Love it, no strings to tie!

m-fay 10-17-2018 04:27 AM

Got my name too. She has similar interests to me so I'm going to have fun looking for that something special.

CookyIN 10-17-2018 02:32 PM

Hooray! Got my name and think I'll be able to put her together a packgae she'll really enjoy.

pyffer3 10-19-2018 05:29 AM

I guess I didn't say that it's the pattern I would like. It just seems nice to not have anything pulling down on your neck. I've wanted to buy it for a long time...just never did :o

CookyIN 10-19-2018 05:37 PM

I'm thinking about having a cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee and breaking into the Halloween candy... anybody with me?

sewingsuz 10-19-2018 07:51 PM

I already got into the halloween candy and then I put it in the cupboard so I would not e looking at it.

tlrnhi 10-19-2018 09:21 PM

We don't get any kids here, so all the Halloween candy is all for me!!

ckcowl 10-20-2018 06:30 AM

I am excited to start putting together a package. I hAve the questionnaire and am looking forward to fulfilling some wishes. :)

tlrnhi 10-20-2018 11:45 AM

Remember.......it's a secret as to who you are sending to.
Your person won't find out who is sending to them until they open their package.

This year, I'm playing.
I usually don't, but made an exception this year.
Hmmmm.....I wonder who I'm sending to?
Want a clue as to who is getting my package?
Nope, not giving any clues. lol mean, huh?
But....I know who is sending to me! lol Mean, huh?

PamelaOry 10-20-2018 01:12 PM

Sassy! :thumbup:

Darcyshannon 10-20-2018 03:29 PM

Big hint here. My Santee likes ....wait for it.....chocolate. That should narrow it down. And oh...coffee. :thumbup: A mocha coming your way.

craftyjulz 10-20-2018 03:29 PM

CookyIN, I made the mistake of breaking into one package of Halloween candy, Nerds, & now about a third of the boxes are gone. ������ Oh well. As for the coffee drink, if you want something that reminds me of fall & kind of tastes like a hot buttered rum drink try getting a breve or a latte with a shot of vanilla and 2 shots of “cinnamon & brown sugar” syrup. It’s really good. Then for you that would like it, add a little rum. I prefer the non alcoholic myself.
I’m already collecting little things for my SS recipient from my own stash. Can’t wait to go shopping!
Julz

Darcyshannon 10-20-2018 03:50 PM

Craftyjuiz. That drink sounds like a dessert in a cup. Yum.

I haven’t bought Halloween candy yet. I will closer to date and no opening bags until the doorbell rings. I am thinking of setting up a table with a chair and handing out candy downtown near the stores that are doing an early trick or treat from 4-6 to see the little ones. Maybe at the park. I also have Halloween stickers for the kids that can’t have candy.

Well, I am on the lookout for Julie Paschkis fabric. I have a friend that admired my quilt. Her older lines: Folkloria or Catkins. I will purchase so if you know of anyone who has this and doesn’t plan on using it, please PM me.

I mentioned I wanted a pin cushion. My fantasy pin cushion would be a cute vw camper one, house, toadstool, mushroom, hedgehog but honestly, they all look so cute.

roseirish48 10-20-2018 05:42 PM

finished one article to place in the box for my secret "santee"--looking into other things i can or could make for her. I love Xmas--wish i didnt have to wait til Thanksgiving for the family to decide it was close enough to Xmas to get their wish lists

CookyIN 10-21-2018 02:05 AM

craftyjulz, your coffee drink sounds heavenly, did you dream that up yourself?

Darcyshannon, you sure narrow that down for us! :D

Aurora 10-21-2018 07:01 AM

Wishlist? I always started shopping the day after Christmas and bought gifts all year. Now I don't have so many gifts to give. Since I no longer celebrate Christmas, I prefer to give gifts when the mood strikes me, that way they are truly gifts.

kariboo 10-21-2018 09:02 AM

I've been out shopping & gathering too ~ for all kinds of goodies for who knows who...
putting it together is half the fun, but had run back to the store as I ate some..

Lstew2212 10-22-2018 02:32 AM

My SS lives south of me and likes coffee too. I made things for me SS all day yesterday. Going shopping for my SS this weekend.

Annaquilts 10-22-2018 07:48 AM

Already have several items in the box.

hav4boys 10-22-2018 11:08 AM

A staple meat product during WWII for our soldiers is made in my Secret Santa's state.

madamekelly 10-22-2018 11:57 AM

My santee lives in a state with a two word name, and she likes chocolate too.

Leota 10-22-2018 02:49 PM

I got my name and chose with care the things in their box as I put each in there. I'm not gonna tell who the recipient be.... Because Santa is watching me.

pyffer3 10-22-2018 05:04 PM

My box is slowly getting filled! My person likes dark chocolate and lives west of me!

happylab 10-22-2018 05:11 PM

I got my SS name. She lives in a state that has many LQS. Lol hee hee. I went shopping already for her/him. I just need to find some more munchies and wrap the gifts and sign the card. Next week project. We both like chocolate and quilting. I will hold off mailing until others begin to mail their packages.

I love this meat. Made some for breakfast for the kids and put it in egg buritos.

Sorry to hijack the thread a bit, but how on earth do you cut the saltiness? It is so salty I can’t eat it. I have the same problem with ham. Too much salt!

marcialee 10-23-2018 12:06 AM

Got my name. She lives west of me. The box is filling up fast. Love all the special wrapped gifts goin in. She like batiks. That should give it away. Haha

mosher92 10-23-2018 12:10 AM

Got my name too. My SS recipient has an O in her state name. And lives West of me. I am with crafttjulz and her coffee of choice. Hey maybe my person would enjoy a coffee visit😀

Annaquilts 10-23-2018 06:51 AM

LOL I guess we are saltholics. I do also fry a sweet onion, put in black beans, lots of eggs and some cheese. Then it all goes into a very large flour tortilla. I do not salt any of the other items and cut and fry the Spam into tiny cubes before adding. It is kind of like bacon.
