Uh.....don't freak out, but make that 8....yes...EIGHT...packages that SHOULD be coming....

 

ROFL.....

 

Here are the elves:

 

Hockeyfanomo

vsa3janes

rmV73

Lilquiet

Bugsette

racerfan

grandmaWK

 

These are all the people who have been communicating with me about shipping, putting together packages etc.

 

Not 100% how many have "physically" shipped yet.

 

The main one I'm concerned about at the moment is racerfan....I "think" she shipped before she had the correct zip code....after all the zip code confusion.....

 

It would sure be a shame if it comes back....can't help but wonder if the zip code confusion is the reason there was never an original SS gift to begin with....maybe we can't be too hard on the original SS...whoever that was...I don't even know who? Never did my research there...lol.

 

Anyway...as you can see there are PLENTY of elves...I couldn't say no when people wanted to help...even after wa already had a few working on stuff.....

 

Isn't is wonderful how nice all the GD'ers are to each other? What a great group! :D

I got the correct zip code. I was unable to ship on Monday since my kids decided to take turns getting sick. One Monday One Tuesday. Then we got hit by the snowstorm, and they were out of school for 2 days. They finally went back today, and now I have their bug. The package is going out tomorrow my DH is shipping it himself since he will be home. I already told Grizelle. I hope she likes everything.

That is so nice of you all! I really think she deserves it for waiting so patiently! And yes despite what you think, I really think you have been very patient. I know I would have been very upset to not get a gift when everyone else got such wonderful gifts. I hope to see pics!! lol

OH THAT IS GREAT. WE REALLY DO HAVE A GREAT BUNCH HERE.

 

that might have been the reason, idk:confused:, shopping mom had said the package was returned to her..... but she hasn't said anything else since 12/29 when she was suppose to have reshipped:confused:

Thanks again ladies! You do not know how excited I was. I was so excited I was opening the boxes while I was driving down the road. Probably not a good idea but I couldn't wait to get home. It's a 30 minute drive! I know I waited this long, what is 30 more minutes...lol!

Grizellie: I'm the on from Ohio.... glad it finally arrived I was getting worried becuase it's almost been 2 weeks.

Oh ok...lol! I wasn't sure but I thought maybe you since you had OH under your name;)

 

The mail is very slow! I have friends that have used EXPRESS mail and it has taken over a week. It's ridiculous. Thanks again!

(I had to take it in 2 pics because little Ellie ran off with some stuff...ha!)

 

Sunny, thank you so much for all the goodies. I am excited about my Warm Vanilla sugar stuff from Bath N Body Works! The girls LOVED the little mini books and the poppers! The eggs are simply GORGEOUS! (One did break in transit...I was very sad!) The rest were perfect though!

 

I can't thank you enough for taking this task on of making sure I got a gift. You went above and beyond and have just spoiled me rotten. I appreciate everything you have done for me. Words can not express the gratitude I have!

 

Thank you to everybody who was willing to send to me even though you had already sent to your SS. It means so much to me. I am overwhelmed and overjoyed buy the hearts and spirits of all of you!!! Thank you thank you thank you!! Grazie mille!!

Now you have surprised me too. My package was sent off on Monday, and you received it already. That was real fast. I was getting worried when everyone was saying that theirs was taking 2 weeks or more to get to you. I thought mine was going to arrive when you were away on vacation in Belgium. I am happy that you like everything. MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
