A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall 2008 Fall Gift Swap---The FUN has BEGUN!!! Pt 3

Jiffy, I am sure your perosn will LOVE your gifts. There is no doubt in my mind----when gofts are bought and sent with love they are always 'the right' thing and always make the giftee happy.

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent gifts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That keychain is on my list to buy for all my family this year..........I got hubby one a few weeks ago and it really is neat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, that is 1 so who is next! I hope my pal does not mind that it will probably now be tuesday or so before I can get it out! BUT I THINK YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought more for my boxes tonight. Had to squeeze those things in there. I was going to mail it today but Mark was out all day, so then I was going to mail it tomorrow but we're going to a crafty little Artisan village type place and so I may hold off until Monday, just in case I see something really little to shove in a space in a box.

OH MY!!! WOW That is a ton of stuff.
Gee I better get back to shopping. I was just thinking how cute my stuff was, And now!
Off to shop some more tomorrow.

kim, you don't have to go back to shopping. you have to remember, we've been working on our boxes for at least six months before we knew for sure we would have a swap

by the way, cute dragon!

Thanks for that Jiffy, but I still feel the need for more. Many a few more items.
I want my person to be happy. I tried to get everything garden and seasonal themed.
Glad you like my latest dragon, Hes just a baby, but the more people click on him the faster he will grow, just like the last. A bunch of us crazy ladys on another board got involved in this Dragon cave thing. Totally addicting.! LOL

yes, well one of us got the rest of us hooked on webkinz... another addiction

WEbkinz...totally addicting! Kim you need one!

Yeah, don't feel bad at all....remember the value only has to be between $15-30....the value...not the actual cost. I'm just somewhat known as the bargain queen so I usually find some good deals....and I like to shop....so that's a bad combination!

Even the webkinz people on the webkinz sites are addicted to those dragon egg things.

I have been playing/crafting with a new idea for my pal tonight. It is coming along but it is easier in my head then figuring out how to make it work with clay................................ Going to sleep on it and maybe finish it sometime this weekend.

I bought ONE last thing for my person today. I am totally done, I really can't fit one more thing in either of the boxes. Something little and cute I found in one of the gift shops I was in today while out......

Valarie might come tomorrow and take me out shopping. I guess I should not of enterd the swap---I figured I would be driving by now---I was driving a lot quicker after the other surgeries. My first check up was Sept 24th and I thought I would get the green light then but no.....

Not to worry--I do have some things bought, because like Jiffy says we have been shopping for 6 months, but I strill have some time. I guess I am just geting nervous.

Don't worry***************I will get your gifts to you on time. I promise.

Awww, don't worry at all Carol. You have TONS of time. Tons! Don't feel too rushed.....you'll get out and get your stuff when you get it!

Shopping with Valerie sounds like a lot of fun though! And I'm GLAD you entered the swap. Don't pressure yourself to rush....

Thank you Loz, and I am looking forward to doing some shopping with Valarie. I know Ihave lots of time, but I feel bad for having _______________wait is all.

Carol, like Loz said, you have all kinds of time so no worries at all!! Besides, I always hate to see this end so I kind of like it when it is spread out a bit.

my person is waiting too. I didn't know I was going to be laid up when I joined up but I'll have it mailed by 11/1 for sure.

One year I got my package last and I sort of liked it! I had a long time to look forward to it coming!

No rush, no worries. Hope to have mine out tomorrow though. Does the PO take credit cards? I guess they do...

my PO takes anything they can get.

I went online last night and was going to have stuff delivered from the store but I found out that the store charges an additional charge for direct mailing plus the shipping. That doesn't seem fair.

They will nickel and dime you to death with all of those added charges. And they do themselves out of business doing things that way. It is pretty sad. Jumping over the dull dollar to grab up that shiny dime.

\

I am sorry you are laid up, Sheri, but I am glad I am not alone---it makes me feel a bit better.

Jessica, sometimes I feel like that....that a long wait makes it more fun....then again I get so excited I want it come 'right now'!

Loz, my PO takes credit cards....thank goodness!

well, my person may have to wait. i've hit a snafu myself, can't find what i know i want to send, and i won't send it until i get that one thing to go in it

so...

I Went shopping !!!!!!!!!! Yep I did. and oh my if I were independantly wealthy I would still be there, shopping---for sure !!! it is a FINE place.

I cannot say where I was, becuase then ____________would know--and we cannot have that can we???

and then I too am like Jiffy--until I find that one thing I cannot mail mine either---perhaps in 2 weeks or so I will be ready.

so, i found a xxxxx for xxxxxxxxxxx today. it was hard to choose though, the store had 12 or 13 different kinds. now all i have to do is find the xxxxxxxxxxx and i can pack up the box for xxxxxxxxxx.

so, carol, will i like what you got me?

you know, Jiffy I think you will !!! esp the one thing I am waiting on !! :wink:

now the $64,000.00 question is, will I send 'your' box to you or to somebody else???

I'll take it Carol.

I was going to mail mine tomorrow but I just remembered earlier it's Columbus day tomorrow and I suppose PO's and Banks will be closed.....too bad most employers don't give it as a day off....

you never know, Loz, I just might send it to you......

Anyone else set to ship theirs out tomorrow or this week? Mine SHOULD be going out tomorrow....

Mailed out my packages just now! I wonder which way they are going, and who they are going to?

..Golly Loz, You could you tell us, you know--just this one time ?????

Oh I can't wait to see!! I will get mine sent out tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I have everything for it. I will see what it all looks like when I get it packed up!

My lips are sealed! I could've sent a LOT more but I just didn't want to pay for another box.

So mine and Jessica's are going out this week.

............... .....................

I wonder which 2 people will be getting packages! This is so exciting. I really get more excited to send my stuff out than to receive stuff. Although of course I :ding: getting stuff too!

I'm just glad those packages are out, no more worries about finding a corner to stick something else into---no worry about getting them mailed. I'm not the fastest at mailing packages as a rule.

.................calmly waiting for my person's last gift to arrive.......

I am not good about mailing packages at all! How late was your bday package?? 2 months late?!? Or more?!? I am just really bad about that!

Jessica, I would look at it as oh...10 months EARLY!!

I found what I was looking for at the fall festival that we went to this weekend, so, tonight I will be packing up my package and I'm just waiting for Loz to PM me with the address that I need to send the package away.

So that means there are '3' packages going out this week????

I think it does!

Jess, don't worry about it.......I still have a package here for you.

jenn, you should have a pm
