Secret Santa 2008

I’m sorry! I misunderstood.

No prob – rereading it, it wasn’t the clearest piece of prose I’ve ever written.

Let me try again:

There are 15 people who haven’t shipped yet, as far as I can tell from what people have posted. Four of those people (Dottygumdrop, erlichda, Queen of Town, Susie Derkins) have indicated that there will be a delay – I am not concerned about them. I am, however, concerned about the other 11 people.

If you haven’t shipped yet, please do so. If you’ve shipped but not posted to report that you have, please do so.

Thanks!

Mine just went in the mail! It should arrive in two days or so. However, I got home and realized I neglected to put the card in the package, so I’ll go mail that tomorrow. If you get a package from New Brunswick and have no idea who sent it, your card should get there soon! Or if the card gets there first, your present is on its way too!

It’s in the mail and I attached a confirmation to it so I can track it as it goes.

ETA - I did not include my screen name. Do I let my person know it was me?

1986-1988 I did my postdoc at a biotech company in Rockville/MD.

Santa came! Santa came!

From Kat, I received a very funny card and a beautiful purple butterfly pendant. My sisters have informed me that I need a new totem and it should be a butterfly (I’m in desperate need of metamorphosis, apparently :)), so it’s perfect! Thanks very much!

OK I opened mine and I love it! It’s a Swiss Army knife, but this one has a pen and a little light on it! Thank you so much, Ice Cream Conquest! I showed it off to the customers at work last night.

We generally do – when your Santee posts that it arrived and says “thanks, whoever!” you can 'fess up, if you’re okay with that.

Wow. Tell your sisters to stop projecting thoughts into my head! :wink: (I was intending to get the itty bitty kitty part of the list when I went shopping.)

Glad you like it. It wanted me to buy it for you.

(And I still wonder if a Doper wrote that card. :D)

Gift has been purchased, wrapped, boxed, Priority-postaged, and is going out with the office mail in the morning! Sorry for the delay! :slight_smile:

Hey, mine came! I was going to withhold opening it, but my sister was there and happened to be very curious. I got fabric! Bright colors! Thanks! It will be put into a quilt that will comprise of randomness and color. Or a bag. Or perhaps some sort of art piece. Or something. Not sure what. Probably the art one. I like those.

Not entirely sure of the sender, but many thanks!

I love the purple tape! :stuck_out_tongue:

Opening the box, I got a pretty pair of earrings, and a little crocheted stuffed animal, which is currently residing in my Christmas tree.

Thank you very much, Rosie! You’re very talented. You also have good timing as today is my birthday so I had one more present to open today!

Happy birthday, hocow!

I was me! I’m glad you liked it.

You was you! :slight_smile:

I was late sending mine, but it has gone out and I was assured that it would arrive before Christmas.

Have a great holiday everyone!

Mine went out today. I’m sorry for the delay. It’s not guaranteed by Christmas, but it should be there by Dec. 29th at the latest.

I missed the part about identifying myself, so if you get an SS package with no ID and you really want to know, give a shout out here.

If it wasn’t me, I’m sure your gifter will own up.

My gift was posted as of last Thursday.

I haven’t shipped yet, but I’m working on it. I will ship next-day airmail if I have to in order to make sure it arrives before Christmas.
