ey cabana boy, where's my hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows? I am sitting here in my virtual recliner in this fabulous hole the girls have dug and decorated. My box is shipped so no worries here for this swap. After i enjoy a little down time here with my chocolate, i can get those ornaments finished for that other swap. The hole over there isnt as big YET but the cabana boy is cute.
accidently posted this on "ornament swap" thread. i must be getting tired.

The cabana boy is over here pouring some wine for me. When I got home this evening there was a nice fat package on the steps for me. My package is bulging and it makes noise!! I had to shake it.

Now the wait begins.

I think if I do NOT wrap the gifts, there'd be more room for more gifts, what do ya think about that?
Must I wrap, I don't mind, but having probs making it all fit without wrapping.
Please reply. This is my first SS swap.

Just IMHO djmat.....but if i were your SS receiver and you made / bought things for me - I would certainly not think any less of you for not gift wrapping everything !!!

And she had to read a letter as she opened.

I've done it both ways, just depended on if I needed the room also. I've also just put items in baggies and used something that I had made, example a table runner, and wrapped the baggies all up with the runner. I'm sure whatever you do will be just fine for your SS, she'll love it!
