Its been a while since we had a White Elephant Exchange - anyone keen?

Sorry gals, I don’t have you! Besides, I’m a 10.

me too, surly! maybe you have me :slight_smile:

Oohh I got hooked up with a Moderator, I’d better send nice things to curry favour.

Since y’all are at the exchange point, I’m going to unstick this thread. Have fun!

Box is packed. It doesn’t have to go that far. Almost disappointed I don’t have to ship to Timbuktu.

Mine’s ready to go out on Monday. I hope I can afford the postage!

I wish it wasn’t so costly to ship… I’d send a BEEEG box… what is the least expensive shipping domestically?

The white elephant is on the run. It had to go parcel post though so even though it’s not going very far, it’s going to take 10-14 days.

Am I the first to ship?? w00t!

I thought of something I want to send, but I don’t have it yet, so mine won’t be for another week probably.

Sent mine out Saturday morning, parcel post. The nice lady at the post office said it will likely be there around the 19th.

Curses! Beaten by a wallflower! :wink:

Wow, I just got my elephant parts together. Now I need a box. Hubby told me to get a send-anything-box from the PO. If it doesn’t fit, it goes in next year’s box. That seems fair.
I’ll get my ele crate tomorrow.

I hope my person has kids…

Mine goes out tomorrow!

reaching for singing voice…

the box is packed
it has gone away.
the postal service
has it on a plane.
its winging it way to the west coast.

treasures are inside
hoping for a place.
ready to put a sparkle
in a new face.
i hope this elephant will be just right.

so, open it up very carefully. things are tuck in every little space.
i’m hoping that you’ll enjoy every little thing.

the elephant is on a jet plane,
i know it should be there wednes day.

leaving on a jet plane
gonna get there on a wednes day.

that’s what the post man said.

(now to get john denver to stop spinning.)

Mine will likely go out on Monday. Still have some stuffing to do…

Mine too…

My oliphaunt launched itself today - I think I heard it singing “O Canada!”

Ok, so it was sent out today - last week got crazy busy!
To make up for it, I tossed in extra goodies.

Well… I have mine all boxed up, I re-used a priority mail box. Got it to the post office and…

…it was going to be $32 to ship it to Seattle! >shockface< Simply can’t afford that so brought it home and will re-pack it in a regular box. MAY get it out tomorrow, may be next week now. :frowning: I’m sorry.

Couple more days on mine, but it’s filling up nicely. Awesome timing for this, since my wife and I are divorcing and I’m moving out, I’ve been able to find lots of good remnants of a failed life together to pass along!

Kidding, of course – not about the divorce, but it’s perfectly amicable and not nearly as weepy and emo as that made it sound. :slight_smile:
