This might be a borderline naughty question...can we open the package as soon as we get it? I hate to admit it but I've been known to peak into packages even wrapped ones before the designated holiday. :oops:

NO NO NO NO NO...There is a designated date for a group opening...no peeking or you will get a box full of coal...or worse!

OOOOHHHHHH....not borderline naughty, but BIG TIME naughty! Don't you know that Santa is watching and if you get too close to that box with the bad intention of opening early that you will LOOSE the box???? Shame!! LOL!! Just wait till you get your box..it will probably be covered with all types of warnings about all the dire things that will happen if you open it early...So ...NO NO NO...you can't open it until its time!

Would anyone have an objection to getting a handmade giftie or two if I were your partner? What kinds of handmade things do you love? I'm looking for all sorts of ideas?

Homemade chocolate......aww...just kidding. You know us quilters never get anything that is hand made. Everyone thinks we can make that for ourselves..you choose...personally...I love pincushions!

I think that handmade would be great....there have been lots of great handmade things on this board, so there is certainly lots of talent!

can't wait to get shopping....i have my name!

Didn't you read the fine print of the rules?????? You CAN open it as soon as you get it but then you have to send it to me.

If i open early and it's coal or dead things like chocolate ants I'll make sure I give them to you Peachy

I think chocolate covered grasshoppers or maybe some of those ugly bedbugs is in order. You were screaming that I ws naughty, that really hurt :(

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Deadline for mailing package is NOVEMBER 15th! That is a HARD deadline, meaning...no mailing AFTER that unless you are incapacitated or 6 feet under.
There have been too many people who say they have sent packages when in fact the packages were sent at a later date.
ALL packages, UNLESS they are going international WILL have a DELIVERY CONFIRMATION added. This is all in the rules. If you are not aware of this, then YOU DID NOT READ THE RULES!!!
If you send your package and the person you have sent to has not received their package, YOU WILL be required to PROVE that the package was sent, which is why the Delivery Confirmation. Save your receipt when you mail the package out. Everyone when they send or receive, should PM me so I know that 1) package was sent or 2)package was received.
