The deadline is quickly approaching... Friday at midnight (PST). Remember no late-comers since once we send out names there is no one left to match people up with. When you wake up Saturday morning, you should have a Secret Santa person! Ho Ho Ho! Santa always comes at night! I'll start a post in which you can let us know that you received your person's name. I keep a check-off list just so I know that everyone received their e-mail. Some people didn't respond for weeks last year and I worried terribly. This is a great time to update your "My Page" for your Secret Santa person. Jeanne, I had the same problem last year with up-dating "My Page". I would type in the information, and the changes wouldn't show up. Soooo, I typed it up on WORD and then quickly cut and pasted and submitted it, and it worked. Hope that helps! This is going to be sooooooooooo much fun! Thanks for letting us organize the exchange. Bear Hugs! Kirk (alias Santa) and his accomplice Carol

I posted on the other side but just remembered to post on this side............sorry! I have my SS name and everything bought, sorted and now just need to find a box. This is so much more fun then the other exchanges I am in. I adore junking!! Don't even get me started on Freecycling!! I have to go tomorrow and pick up a 6 drawer dresser (to hold all my supplies) and hopefully a 6ft christmas tree for our christmas display we do every year. Is there anything better then *free* lol Hugs, ChelCass

mjowest...here's your posting...I copied it & posted your pics below...gets frustrating when things don't work, doesn't it! Happy New Year! Jeanne S. Here's mjowest's posting: Finally able to post! Posted by mjowest 5 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 29, 09 at 20:09 My sincere apologies to my secret santa- I could NOT post a single thing since last Thursday! I received, from my yet unknown Santa- the following: A darling red tea pot- I LOVE red!!! It's sitting my my window, with a great contrast with the white snow. I'm keeping it out all year! and a most beautiful yellow plate flower and plate hanger- check out the clear glass- it's a beautiful pattern! I will put this on the big stump I have in my garden, (once the snow is gone!) so it can catch the morning sun, and make drivers smile! I can't ever seem to find yellow, so I'm glad to get this! and, the glue job- you are an expert! much neater than I am... :) Please let me know who you are, secret santa from WA!! thank YOU!!! You made me very happy!! mjowest aka Mary-Jo

Well I was up early so went ahead and opened my SS gifts. WOW thank you Plumbnelly! I got the most beautiful hand painted gourd, a snowman spoon ornament, a Christmas Tree cone, a magazine, and a bag of peach marbles. Here is the photo of my stuff below. As you can see in the background, my newest cat just had to get in the picture. I'm single and live alone with my 3 cats so couldn't include a photo of myself. I tried and tried to wrap their little paws around the camera to take my picture, but they just couldn't do it. LOL Thanks so much for all my beautiful things. I had a great time opening them all.
