And… I still need to head to the post office. Lunch time on the Friday week before Christmas. It’ll be a zoo. Serves me right for procrastinating! Glad to know I’m with some other late shippers! 😊 ---

She makes them as a fundraiser for her daughter’s school abd I know they have another craft fair coming up in the spring. Hers are adorable. Thanks for the vote of confidence, **BBBoo**! As it happens, I think I have 5 sets that didn’t sell at the holiday sale. Plus sunflowers and daisies… Guess it’s kinda tacky to shill for the school in this thread… ---

Do you guys want to see what procrastination looks like? I could have sent these packages two weeks ago. But did I? Noooooooooooo … The post office line is almost out the door. In the distance is the service counter. ETA — I figured there’d be a long line… [![](https://i.imgur.com/zKjrgWB.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/zKjrgWB.jpeg) ---

Actually it wasn’t bad. They moved the line pretty well. I was done in 25 minutes which, given the long line, wasn’t too bad! ETA — but yes the line was daunting. When I took that picture, other people saw the line and left. Their loss! ---

@FairyChatMom please check your PMs. I shipped your package in a \text{ }{\color{red}\mathbf{very\ obvious\ color\ theme!}} { } that you like and it should arrive to you by Wednesday. Hopefully before! It’s coming from California. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > You’re sending me a live-in housekeeper/landscaper/cook/masseur?? How very extravagant!! Well, shit, I know what I’m putting in next year’s Secret Santa “what I like” post! I did not know these were options. 😉 @EmilyG I admit, I peeked (.. _happy gasp! MOAR CHOCOLATE!_ cold, bitter January just got sweeter!.. ) but swiftly re-packed, so I could “unpack” again later. (I have a terrible memory. This will be at least 55% “wheee! new!” to my lobotomized goldfish brain.) The box looks so pretty under my tree @EmilyG. **Future Me** gets chocolate! **Current Me** gets a pretty package under her tiny Charlie Brown tree. Win-win! ---

It was indeed delivered yesterday! Just got around to opening it today though, busy Saturday 🙂 I got lovely handmade mitts (in Eagles colors!), and local goodies including an upstate NY magnet that promptly went on my fridge, a wooden top in a homemade bag (super cute bag by the way!), mushroom jerky, sweet and salty nut mix, and dark chocolate, pineapple and macadamia nut bark that I’m super excited to try later! Thank you so much, Kimstu!! ---

**Hocow!** Thank you for the package! I got a Slinky, a beautiful mug (I drink a lot of coffee and can always use more mugs!), and a teeny tiny Philadelphia scene, among other things. Penny got some official Eagles catnip toys! Thank you 🙂 and Penny thanks you as well.
