I'm hoping to shop this weekend I need to balance the checkbook first.

 

[YodasMom]

quick question...do we mail our package out on the 2nd? or should our ss receive their package by the 2nd? someone please tell me! thanx!

ok...how many of you went shopping already??!!?? i just printed out the info, and am bringing it w/me this weekend to go look for goodies for my ss! this is so much fun! i can't wait to mail it out to my ss.

To add to rsjj's questions, how do you usually package the goodies? Do you wrap them or just stick them in a packing envelope or box?

Since the guidelines on page one appear to state that mailing should occur on the 1st of the month, that's what I plan to do.

 

[ScrappinSecretSister]

I'm such a snooper I would be looking for any hints possible. I'm so bad at surprises. Who ever gets me, make it tough! The detective will come out in me.

good luck with that. your packages will all be mailed by our kind hostess.

The latest to mail your package would be the Oct. 2; November1 and December 1.
I picked those dates to give everyone a chance to shop and for me to recover before I have to mail mine. You can certainly mail early, like some people have, but you do not have to mail until the stated date.

I loke to wrap the packages- It makes it a lot of fun to open, but then again, I wrap everything! My Dh says my mom and I are the wrapping queens!

oh Shawna! I'm so sorry ...I forgot to wish you luck before your surgery!! How are you feeling???? Hope it went well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel great- If only I could breath throught my nose! After they started they discovered why I have a hard time sleeping at night- My nosal passages fall inward, cutting off my air supple- They when out and ask DH if we wanted that fixed and he said sure- So I got an added procedure but in the long run, hopeful it will help. I made the mistake of fallin asleep last nigth without my pain medication, so I have been playing chech-up since 4 am. I have several days before i go back to school, so hopeful I will feel lots better by then.
As a true scrapper- I scrapped a little yesterday.

Thanks for asking!

Anything, and I wear an XL tee shirt size.

Is there a Disney DVD & Disney CD that you do not own that you would like?Again, anything, I am not picky. I don't have Finding Nemo and that looks really cute!

I use both Stamps and Inks. I basically use Stampin-Up, but I do like Tim Holtz and Adirandak as well.

 

[maria34a]

Ok this is my last post for the night, I think I will be all caught up now!!!!

I love Christmas and all the holidays! I celebrate all of them!

Do I cook? Not right now, I don't have a family, so I basically go out and buy a salad and eat that for dinner every night! Yum! Dinner!

 

[AlreadyexcitedGrammy]

Whoa - thought I had a minute and would check this thread - need more than a minute for all the updates, but I did see a couple of more questions, so here's my answers

YES - I celebrate Christmas - do some decorating but not near like I use to (empy-nester here) and we go to ohMom's for the actual holiday, so I always enjoy all that she has done

cooking at my house is "quick and easy" for the most part, but once again, I stick to my statement "I'm flexible"

My DH saw my "stuff" I am getting ready to send and he said "what's this" ~ I said for my SS and he "what in the heck is that" told him it was a "girl thing" - and YES - he did the "man thing", rolled his eyes I suspect he is a bit "green" with envy; he has no SB
