Doesn’t need to get there before Christmas – it just needs to get there.
Figured I should probably confirm that the package did, indeed, go out today and it should make it there before Christmas.
Happy Birthday! I tried very hard to crochet a cow…but after a few attempts it was pretty clear it wasn’t working. I’m glad you liked things, and I’m kinda proud almost-late timing worked out well!
Thanks for checking in, folks – we’re down to four people who haven’t been heard from since they signed up.
If they get presents and don’t give, I’ll help you haunt them.
You’re a good sister!
People punking out on this is why I quit SS for a while. I got screwed one year, and it soured it for me for a while. Glad to see you are taking it seriously, Twickster.
Got mine today! Thank you, Tamryne!
Goodies inside: origami birds and flowers with directions on how to make them myself (great idea, by the way), point protectors for my knitting needles (much needed), seeds of lavender and texas bluebonnet, and a jar of peach jam.
I can’t wait to include the lavender and bluebonnets in my garden and the jam will find a home on my toast this weekend!
ETA: I also forgot to identify myself with my screenname. Oops. I’ll fix it once the package has been received.
Thanks for the birthday wishes! I feel loved.
Unfortunately, due to very bad winter weather, I don’t think that I will be able to get to the post office before Monday. But my package WILL get mailed!
Safety first!
No prob – hope all is well up there. Hear y’all have really been getting hit.
I sent my gift out two days ago.
Whee! I got my gift. (At least, I assume it’s my Secret Santa gift.) It’s the most awesome, soft and plushy sheep pillow.
My coworkers are envious!
Thanks, Pixilated, assuming this is the package you sent! I LOVE it. :)
I’m one of the guilty not-yet-shippers. I’ve sent an email to my person. She knows who she is. I swear, before all the gods of Asgard, and ye Dopers, that my person will receive their gift.
Good deal. Thanks for checking in, everyone – I’ve now heard from everyone but one person, either here or via PM/email – and I’ll give that person another couple of days before I unleash the hounds.
And – ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!
Not dropping out! Will be shipping tomorrow! There were delays due to things like finals; apologies, and it should still get there on time!
I punked out on someone several years ago and this is the first year I’ve let myself join one again (my self imposed exile is over). You won’t get stood up this year, I promise. 
PS - Dear Cazzle, if you are reading this I screwed you several years ago. I am sorry.
Yay it arrived!
The jam is amazing on toast with a light spread of butter. Sorry I didn’t wrap the gifts, it completely slipped my mind until I was in line at the post office. :smack:
Shellibean, was that you this year? Whoever it was, thank you so much!!! I really, really love it. It is a beautiful blown glass vase that hangs down from a stand. Really pretty, and really different. The only problem is deciding if it stays here, or goes in my new office. This was such a nice ending to a good day. Yay!
Thank you so much, and 'fess up, whoever you are!
Yeah, it was me. I’m so glad you like it.
PS - it’s so heavy it doubles as a weapon!
