Interesting....

My mum recieved a package today... It's from Palm Beach, Florida....

Thing is, we're doing SS on two sites, so don't know which this is from....

For some reason, I suspect it's this one... There are Jelly Beans listed on the Customs Declaration!...

She says 'Thank you very much, Santa!'...

Love...

Ok, mine's going out tomorrow.  The deadline, of course.  It's packed and ready to go., it's just that they only pick up one time in this tiny little town and I missed the time.

Enjoy it Sectret Pal!

My mom will be sending mine out next week.  She's going to get her boss to do it when she gets back from her trade show.  She'll send it via their shipping company.  They send so much, I think they have a flat monthly rate.. *L*  It should get to where it's going in plenty of time for Christmas.

I don't know if Kitkatz told our Secret Santas, but I am doing it publicly now.   If our packages don't reach before Dec 9, we will get them Jan 11.  We gave an address in the United States Virgin Islands (we are in the British) to make it easier for the person sending.  It turns out that the friend to whom they are being shipped will be away from Dec 10 - Jan 10.    I only found out about her not being there recently.I don't mind for two reasons = I don't really celebrate Christmas, my birthday is in January.

If you have not yet sent it, here is an address you can use:

Today is the day I start worrying - it's been two weeks exactly since I sent my SS package and my SS recipient still hasn't popped on to give the thumbs up that it arrived.  Two weeks should have been ample time to get where it was going ...
