Yeah, why worry about it? If they never post, they probably aren't going to post a picture of what they get, either, so be sure to take your own photos.

I HAVE seen my 'person' post here, and that can serve as my hint! I also will say that in snooping around on the board and reading some posts she posted elsewhere, I figured out what gift to sew for her. Hope she likes it!

Could it be me, Lulubelle Von Beauregard?

Sewbizgirl --- what a coincidence, but I spell my last name Beaureguard with a U :o)

Ok Ladies....I'm jumping in here.

If your person does not post, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT BASH PEOPLE FOR NOT POSTING!!
It is up to them whether they want to post or not.
What ya'll are saying IS bashing to them. I will NOT tolerate it!!
If I see any more posts referring to someone's person not posting and/or not putting enough info about themselves out there, I WILL REMOVE YOU FROM THE SWAP!!
I WILL CONTACT THE PERSON WHO HAS YOUR NAME AND TELL THEM TO NOT SEND TO YOU AND YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM FUTURE SECRET SANTA SWAPS!!

I'm still a week behind in reading all the posts. Boy am i ready for some quality hole time. It is going to be a really busy month. But I wanted to post incase my SS is wondering how I would answer some questions.

I read real books, so I love book marks, the real physical ones that you put between paper pages, not those virtual ones.

If you like chocolate, do you prefer white chocolate, milk chocolate, of dark chocolate? DARK chocolate but all chocolate is good.

What are your favorite fabric colors? Blue, purple and aquas

What are your favorite non-fabric colors? greens and magenta

Would you enjoy receiving sewing notions, such as seam rippers, small rulers, etc.? Love em, always need a new sharp ripper, bobbin keepers, rulers

Would you enjoy receiving quilt patterns or books? If so, give examples of what you don't already have. YES always, working on learning domestic machine quilting and figuring out what quilt design should be.

Do you enjoy non-quilting books, such as fiction? If so, what type? yes, historical novels

Would you enjoy receiving a regional T-shirt? If so, what size? sure, Med

Would you enjoy receiving regional postcards or other souvenir items? absolutely would love memory.

Would you enjoy receiving a pincushion or needle-case? Yes, especially needle case.

Would you enjoy receiving socks? - the brighter, crazier the better.

Please list any other items, you'd be happy to find in your SS package. fabric of any kind, blenders, mug rug, Christmas themed items, friendship and inspirational messages.

So excited that I found some info on my giftee after snooping around. Now to figure out what I can put in that box that is waiting.

Now Sewbizgirl, that is a real Southern Cajon name. LOL

Another hint (or two) for my Santee.

Your 4 year anniversary on the QB was within the last 4 months.

I am planning to make something for you which you said was something
you collect/love. One of the colors you like is blue. I wonder how the item
that I plan to make will look with blue? hmmm will give it a try.

You DON'T have an embroidery machine, so I am thinking of making
a little something using embroidery.

thata what my ss keeps saying.....do you think we got the same ss?

I always try to use one of the Flat Rate boxes, just so that I don't get surprised with the postage.

The Hole is always open to friends! :thumbup:

FYI if my SS is watching, but I will appreciate ANY thing!
Do you:......
1) like buttons? Not particularly
2) like zippers? yes. Exotic ones
3) like wonder clips? Yes but I just purchased a box of 50 regular sized so really dont need.
4) drink coffee, and/or hot heat? iced tea? soft drinks? I never drink coffee, it makes me mean. I like hot tea in cold weather, but I live in the south and it doesnt get cold much so I mainly drink sweet tea. I am also a diet coke addict.
5) like Christmas themed items? Yes, I am a Christian so mostly biblical things
6) like embroidery bookmarks. Sure, dont have any either
7) have any grand kids? I married an older guy so I have 7 step grands and a great grand with another great grand to be born any day now. My oldest son is married, no kids. My youngest is a Senior! I am very close with my step kids and their kids.
8) put up a Christmas Tree? Yes, a white one. I have a new skirt I am making this year.
9) like handmade (machine embroidery) ornaments? Sure, dont have any
10) would you like a travel cup/mug?Not really
11) how do you organize your fabric?​ I have clear shoe boxes and they are sorted by color, or they are sorted by project and I try to keep in a tote bag or clear plastic box. Or just anywhere around my room, living room etc. Master bedroom is sewing room. Hubby has his peaceful room on other end of the house as he has different sleeping habits than me.

This is my first year doing this. I love so much different fabric it is hard to chose for my secret santa. I have been gathering her items and hope she will like!!!!!

KAT.....have you been getting into CookyIN's hot buttered rum?????

Neesie....AGAIN with the snakes !!!!!

Which means mjmachin --- if you are my SS......NO LIMA BEANS PLEASE!!! Everything and anything else happily and most gratefully received. :)

Oh, did I tell you about the time my dog walked onto a snake? True story. I thought it was a log until we got right up to it. By that time, Phoebe had walked right onto it and was standing on it. Scared the tar outta me, when I realized what it was! The snake was apparently just as surprised, 'cause it just lay there until I got my wits about me and pulled her off of it. After I got her a good distance away from it, the snake sssssssslithered off toward the creek. It was a BIG snake but after finding a picture of what looked like it, I'm fairly sure it was non-venomous, thank heavens! Needless to say, I now pay a LOT more attention to where we walk!
:shock:

My SS partner likes jewel tones. I made a little needlebook to put in my partner's package.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=495438&stc=1

Catching up... I LOVE everything posted... the Santa fabric, the little ornament with the charm, the needle book, can't think of it all... My state isn't "known" for rattlesnakes but we do have an annual rattlesnake rodeo and we do have a lot of rattlesnakes and other snakes... YUCK.. I live one state away from Mickey & Minnie, so that's probably not it.... As my hint... my giftee has posted here and other places, so I have lots of ideas...

One more item and my box is ready for my SS, so I think I will just bring my Chocolate covered raisin and jump in the hole and watch everybody else. Maybe some Hot Chocolate, its getting cool in my area. OH!!! but wait I think it must be Hot in the hole, oh well ice chocolate is o.k. too..

I'm like CindyLou, love reading all of the post and seeing the items, this is really FUN, glad I joined.

Oooooooh! Pretty! Is it me? IS IT ME??? Did I mention jewel tones? Can't remember. . . but I LOVE that little needle case!!! :thumbup:

I've posted here and other places!!! It's MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! :D :thumbup:

Now how in the world are you gonna share that one chocolate covered raisin, with all of us?!? Ummmmm, my I please take the first bite? :thumbup:

Okay, another hint about my SSee. This morning is a bit nippy, where she lives. :)

Hint for my SSee: When I think of you I think of a well known children's game.

thought I would answer few of the questions.

Yes I love buttons the older the better.
Wonder clips are nice, I like trinkets for my crazy quilts.
I love Tula Pink fabric even the smallest scrap is perfect as I am working her butterfly quilt.
I like thread use lot grays

I'm finished making little giftees for my SS partner. I have to do some shopping this weekend (fat quarters and another gift) and I will be ready to wrap and pack. I should have this package out before the end of the month, jingle bells and all. Merry Merry Merry!!

Thanks Neesie. I can bring some dip and chips. I'll even bring the leftover candy from Halloween. Not sure how much will be leftover but some better than none. BrendaK

My SS box filling up. Still waiting on fabric to finish a gift, should be here tomorrow. I will be very happy to get my bundle sent off before the holiday rush starts.

Amazing that it isn't even Halloween and our stores already have Christmas stuff being set out. :thumbdown:

OH NO, its one of those big tubs of raisin, you get at Sam's....plenty to go around.. Will someone share drink,I'll bring my mug.

Neesie, its chilly here, could be me.......but then its chilly in quite a few places today, darn it!!!

Need another hint????

hmmmmm I love chocolat covered peanuts.....hmmmmm maybe I can join and just watch you eat them while I sip on a rum and coke...lol could bring some to share.....ohhhh and SS is west of me...hint hint...ha ha ha

Okay. My SSee may be wearing socks, today. :D

That is striking!

OK I'll try again: That is striking! Now you can see what I was talking about!

.

I got my socks out for the season. Wear them every morning. Then have to take them out by 10 am

Maybe . . . there's none left in the hole.

Western Diamondbacks are the only rattlers I've ever run into. Fortunately they aren't very aggressive. But I could be sending to my own state . . . or NM, or CA, OK, SC, NC . . .

OK another hint. I just got the "little" gift on your wish list.

Thanks to the second round of questions, my Santee gave me a bit more insight into what she might like me to make for her and what colors it could be... so I'll be working on that through the weekend.

But for now, I'm heading to the hole with a fresh supply of hot buttered rum. It's damp and rainy here today, and I could use a warm-up!

From what I heard on the news CO is supposed to be in the
mid 80's today..........really? it's October not August LOL.

Just now got caught up with all the posts,love to see what you are all doing for your SSee's. Went to JoAnn's today, didn't get much except for fabric I "think" my SSee might like. Would have shopped longer but I had my youngest daughter with me and since it was just a few days since she had major surgery, I was worried she was doing too much. Youngest daughter by the way is close to 50 and is a grandmother herself! Too me she is still my little girl. Isn't that the truth about all "our little girls" no matter the age.
Heading down to the sewing room, I still have one block to finish for a swap. I guess I should answer the new questions.

1) like buttons? Yes I do, especially the large ones for use for purses and totes.

2) like zippers? Yes and any color

3) like wonder clips? yes, I have plenty of the small though, would like some of the large.

4) drink coffee, and/or hot tea, iced tea? yes to all

5) like Christmas themed items? (not just fabric but other items also) yes
6) like embroidery bookmarks? Don't really need some

7) have any grand kids? 11 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren

8) put up a Christmas Tree? We have one but don't always put it up.

9) like handmade (machine embroidery) ornaments? Yesssss!!!yes

10) would you like a travel cup/mug? Don't need another travel cup but would like a mug, along with a mug rug.

11) how do you organize your fabric? Use comic boards and fold the larger pieces. Mentioning organizing, I would like a little fairy to come to my house and organize my sewing room. I can truthfully promise to keep it that way for at least a week..........................maybe LOL!

That is what we are to have here in SD too! Amazing-Crazy weather......but am loving it!
My SS box is just about ready to send....one more item to pick up up and then it will be heading "East.....and then I will join the fun in the hole....oh What should I bring to the hole????? I can't do yummy dark/milk chocolate so will bring my skittles.....Here I come!!!!!!
