Tyefly, maybe you didn't see that post, but Lilbajanne did get her gift on the day after Christmas (I hadn't checked the postbox until Christmas day and had to wait until the Post Office opened.  She was so pleased! You have added three shot glasses to her growing collection!  Dan sent her one a month or so ago. And the makeup! She was so thrilled.  She is very into makeup - has even done the makeup for a music video shoot and for a bride.
My SS was Romona.  I had such a great time opening that box! Lots of cute little gift bags with lovely gifts.  I am not at home now, so I can only say those I remember now - a lovely chain and pendant, ornaments, sweet-smelling soap.  Thank you so much!

Well Folks....

Let's give the Grammalady a helping hand...

Let's give her updates, if need be... For anyone whose gifts were on the missing list, but have turned up, could you please check in...

Nothing received here yet, either by Mum or I... But as we've been snowed in for weeks now, I'm not too surprised...

And it's giving both of us something to look forward to in the dull days ahead!...

Be good, everyone....

Love...

Darth...

I haven't received a package yet.

I was told my package was "Returned to Sender". So, I don't know if it is being resent or not.

Your secret santa said she sent you a pm and didn't get a responce though, said she needs the right address to send it again. Your S.S. can't send it right now though due to being incapacitated at this time.

Your secret santa, not me though said she needs the right address to send it. Your S.S. can't send it right now though due to being incapacitated at this time.

My secret santa has my correct address though. Only way they wouldn't have the correct address is if they copied incorrectly from what grammlady gave out.

Hope my S.S. gets better soon, and let her know she needs to get better first before even worrying about the S.S. thing.  :cuddle;

Edited to add: I have never received a PM from anyone but thegrammalady, and I replied to her letting her know the address I gave and that she showed me back, is 100% correct.

Well... Yippie!!!!.... :bandance;

Mum's SS gift has arrived this morning!!!...

She says a huge Thank you to Walt, Del's Hubby... Although she suspects that Del may have had to do the shoping!...  :thx;

Anyway, the big padded envelope contained the following lovely goodies...

Yuletide book of recepies, Carol lyrics, stories, and crafts... DVD of a fishing trip in the Atlantic.... Newfoundland notepad and pen... Two beautiful Christmas Tree Snowflake Ornaments (both larger than the palm of your hand)... Beautiful black enamel on silver butterfly brooch, with diamonte detail... A really nice handmade Christmas Card, and what made Mum smile broadly, a big bag of Bacon Flavoured Dog biscuits for Dougal!... She was thrilled that her 'Little Man' was remembered!... You've made her day, Walt!... :2thumbsup;... And yes, Del, Mum promises not to eat them herself!... She says that due to her ESKF, bacon's off the menu, sadly!!!... :rofl;

Thanks again!...  :grouphug;

Great to see the list...

Well done, Gramma!...

Have most people recieved their gifts???.... Mine hasn't yet arrived, but hey, no hurry!.... Are there many 'missing in action???... If I remember rightly, some gifts didn't arrive until Feb last year!!!...

Mum was delighted that Walt thought of her 'Little Man'... With Mum, it's certainly a case of 'Love me, Love my dog!'...

Love...

Wondering if there are many gifts that are still 'Missing In Action'....

Mine hasn't yet arrived, and I suspect the the postal service may have let others down, too!.... But if I remember rightly, some gifts didn't arrive until Feburary last year, so there's always hope!....

Gramma, if you think that there are any gifts that are lost forever, give me a shout... Are you stuck???...  Do you need me to send a replacement gift to anyone???... I think I can arrange it!....

Darth, maybe you were so naughty last year that Santa decided you didn't deserve a gift!!  LOL (just joking!!)  I'm sure your gift will arrive. Took about 2 months for your mum's to get there!!

Del.... Are you suggesting that I... Sweet, quiet, shy, retiring, shrinking violet that I am, could possibly have made it onto Santa's 'Naughty List'??...

If it be so, then YIPPIE!!!!!..... :bandance;... Lifetime's ambition achieved, and it's only taken me forty-five years!!!...  :rofl;

My main worry Del, is that my SS hasn't been around, and hasn't left her contact details with O'Karol... I only hope she's okay!... When someone goes AWOL on a site like this, you automatically assume the worst!.... SS, please understand that the gift is not important (If it never turns up, it's not important!)... Your health and wellbeing are!...

So Folks, if you are SS to someone, and they haven't yet recieved their gift, and you haven't contacted anybody, could you PLEASE just let someone, anyone know that you're okay???... Stops us worrying!.... If you don't want to contact a mod, or Gramma, or your gift reciepient for whatever reason, you can always PM me...

Oh and Del... Mum swears that you must have bought the brooch... It's lovely!....

Love to all...
