> [@ChickaPicosa](#): > > Okay, I mailed my package this afternoon… However, a note of caution: If anyone gets a package from Canada, don’t read the label. I had to write a description of the contents, and I don’t want the surprise to be ruined! Me too. I tried to be as vague as I could. ---

Gift purchased and box procured. Work schedule has been hectic, but if I don’t get it out today I have Monday off so will ship then at the latest. ---

Santa happily put my gift in his sleigh and Rudolph agreed to send me a note when Santa drops it off. Santa is smarter these days and doesn’t deliver all the world’s presents on Christmas eve. 😉 I expect my giftee will be seeing Santa by Dec 19th or the 20th. Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas everyone! ---

Shipped mine yesterday. Ya know, I’ve been checking this thread daily and did not realize there was a deadline. That’s because I don’t know how to read from the last post I read onward. The things were handmade, so nobody make fun of anything handmade they may receive or you might hurt my feelings-- the most sensitive part of me. ---

Work has interfered with finishing a handmade item. I will try to finish it up tonight and send it out tomorrow. Otherwise, it should go out on Monday. It’s going international, so I doubt it will be there by the 25th, but it’s coming! ---

Ok, I finished the project and got to the post office just in time! I sent it Express, so it should arrive in 3-5 business days. ---

Mine shipped this morning, mainly because roomie and hubby are both gone, and this was the first day in almost a week that I could stand for more than about 5 minutes and get to the post office … I do hope it is well recieved, I tried to fit the asked for bits 🙂 ---
