I'm slowly eliminating people as my SS as I've had mine for a few weeks and lot's of you haven't posted your gifts yet and mine isn't rustically wrapped. I'm narrowing it down.  :D

That's only if people are telling the truth who has posted, and who hasn't. I have not posted mine yet, or have I? Lol :D

I have a confession to make ......... my SS present was sitting on my bookcase at home, and while I was at work, our 3 year old got excited and opened the parcel  >:(  thinking (hoping!) it was for him.  DH rewrapped it for me before I came home, so I havent seen it yet - but it is not in the same paper as it was before.  So I cant really post a picture of it on the "photos" thread ......... but I just wanted to reassure whoever my lovely SS is that the present has arrived safely, and is now hidden in a safer place!

Uh oh Karen :-)) Thank goodness DH was there to wrap it back up for you!

Lovely looking present Marina :D The top one is a bit of an odd shape, I wonder what it could be?

Mmm. I wonder.

Gert you were so kind to your neighbour.  We have a dear friend who is a widower and money is tight. He recycles all his cards. You may receive a birthday card for Christmas. He has a wicked sense of humour and seems to write the perfect thing in them, even if they are the wrong sort of card.  In fact we look forward to receiving his cards.

fantastic idea. I like ecards, instead of real cards.

eCards are great Robyn, I send a few from time to time - especially handy if I can't get out to get special cards which is often the case.

Happy to help out anyone who cannot post a picture of their SS gift - we all get pleasure from seeing them as I'm sure the sender does too.

I just had the delivery van arrive for the day again but only parcel was my order from Peters from Kensington.

I think I am going to have to re-wrap the presents I am sending, although, if I leave them as they are you could always say they were 'rustic' or 'primitive' - I think both alternatives are very trendy these days!

One of my neighbours just received a birthday gift of a TMX from her family. I made up a TMX survival pack of scrubbies spatula, brush etc. What to wrap it in? Found a brown  envelope in our office bin. Wrote on it Waste Not and and added a lovely card from jeninwa's goodie.
So glad it came in handy :) :) :)
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

I love POK Judy, as we have no kitchen shops here, unless I drive to Cairns..

I had a delivery today too, but it wasn't from my SS! It was my family size pie maker!  :D
I will know when it is from my SS (I think) cuz everything we order on ebay or whatever come addressed to DH!! So if it comes to me I'll probably guess!!  :D

You might guess, but you still won't know who sent it!
