I received my box from Penny! Thank you! I am not even going to opening it yet. I am hoping DH hurrys home so I can get this box out sight. Like the old saying.... out of sight, out of mind. Yeah right! Its gonna eat at me for the week and a half. I think I can! I think I can! Maybe if I keep repeating this to myself, I will be able to hold out until DH puts it away! I think I can, I think I can  ! How about some caroling..... Dashing through the snow on a one horse open sleigh, Over the firlds we go Laughing all the way, Bells on bob-tall ring making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Jingle bells, jingle bells jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh....... Have a good afternoon  !

Jess I'm glad you got it Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have a fireplace you should take it out of the box and hang it up. Anticipation is part of the fun. I remember as kid getting up in the middle of the night on xmas eve just to catch a glimpse of the tree and all the presents. Then I would run back to my room and wake up my sister, we would then exchange gifts and wait until morning for the rest of the family. Such an exciting time in a childs life. I hope I brought you that feeling. It's great to feel like a kid once in a while!

My Partners box is on its way. WHOO HOO. I see it made it to oak creek. YAY. Its outta here. My partners should have it already tomorrow. WHOO HOOO. Ya boxes are taking a week to get to my area as we are a small town and it goes all over the place to get here but our boxes that leave here get to where they are suppose to in 1 2 or 3 days only. What gives.
My son just received his xmas box I sent out yesterday. He is in chicago and he gets it in 1 day. Don't figure. But it takes 3 to 4 days when he sends stuff to me. Ridiculous.
anyways Hope everyone is having a wonderful hump day. MID WEEK. yay. Half over.

Hi Stocking Swap Partner!!!! Since I got your email about you living in the sticks too..... I thought I would send your package out Fed Ex or Fed Up is more like it. Last night, I went by the hardware store to pickup my tracking number and there sat my box with about 50 other packages.... No one told me they weren't coming until Friday! I reboxed it and it is coming to you via Priority Mail postal pony.... tracking number is 0311 3260 0000 6031 8675. You should have it on Monday per the postal mail lady. You will have it in plenty of time. I know they were not going to mess with me when I picked it up.... I have a blocked tear tuck in one eye, so underneath it is all swollen and red... and that goes half way down one side of my nose. Actually I look like I just went a few rounds in the ring with a boxer! Doc cannot see me until 2 pm today to fix it! Weatherman says it's going to get cold in Kansas...... I've enjoyed these 60 and 70 degree days and really don't want them to leave but, Mother Nature has other thoughts I guess. Wow... just answered the door.... Mail dude there, a new one, had to catch myself there.... he's going to look good in the summer in shorts!  Wow!!!! Dear God, please don't let him be a temporary one...... whew....... he brought my partner's box to me..... Wonder Bread cannot wrap up buns that look that good  ..... whew.... good thing DH wasn't home, I need a cold shower! Please let him be the permanent replacement of the old bat that delivers our mail after she reads my magazines! I know... enough drooling!  Happy Friday!!!!! Beach Bum

Did you take a picture??? If you did post it. LOL. I gotta see now. Usually those kinds only stick around for a short time. Ha Ha I am so glad the box decided to stop napping and start traveling again. LOL. YAY you got it. It always makes me nervous sending in the us mail. I have had my box sitting in a post office a couple times for up to two months before it finally gets delivered. I like fed ex all the way. There was only a 3 dollar difference between post box and fed ex and I should have done fed ex but I am so happy it made it. WHEW. I know it eventually gets there but ugh. And my stepdad works for the post office HA HA. He knows how i feel he hears about it. LOL Well I will talk to you all later. Gotta cropping day tomorrow so I better gather my things so I am ready. Last day to finish a book for my son. All his 1sts for his first year in filming and editing in his job. WHOO HOO.

Hey stocking sisters. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Wonderbread buns. Sooooooooo very funny. I really need a picture too. Please share haha. So glad my sister got her box already. I went with priority as it was only $2 more then reg mail. So worth it. Penny, so glad you had fun here in Las Vegas. Wish i would have seen that you were going to be here. I would have tried to meet you. Must have missed that post. Maybe next time. Rhonda, hopefull when you come in March I will be here and we can meet up. I would really like that. Let me know what you think You Ladies that can't wait to open presents are soo funny. I have to have willpower since I am here alone. I WILL BE STRONG. I love the stocking part of Christmas more than anything else. Can't wait. Better get going. I should try to do some stuff today. Already did my grocery shopping for the week (up at 6:00 am)  Couldn't sleep. Got the dishwasher going. Need to complete something for a swap. One more outing, then the day is mine!!!. Talk to you all soon. Hugs, Sweets/Cherie

Hello all you maggie lovers. I just got my winter stamp club from sweden  and thought you might like a preview. It is not easy to stamp a whole sheet, so they are not perfect but I don't have the time to cut and mount them right now. I think the collection is calle "with love" but I don't know the names of the individual stamps yet. Not sure about the new york and newark postmarks but the maggies are beautiful. I love the cupid!! PennyDiGioia attached the following image(s):

Miss RHonda - I was afraid I had not done enough! I am so glad you liked it....blue and silver stockings are not to be found in Texas! (ha ha). Oh well...I started to get a Dallas Cowboy stocking since that would be blue and gray but wasn't sure you would appreciate that!
I am totally confident I will fall in love with everything that you did and am anxiously waiting the arrival! THis is way better than Christmas!

Jess- I am waiting patiently. One good thing is that I won't have to look at it for days before I can open something. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!
Swedish kits are fun. You have no idea what you are getting until it arrives. But you are the first one to see the new stamps!

Penny thats true. You didn't have to sit through the torture of knowing you had goodies hid somewhere by DH  ! I am ready to begin ordering ! Your package should be there tomorrow and right on time. Just waiting on your ________. Needless to say this ebay seller will not get positive feedback from me. Super slow shipping. Not a good experience at all  ! Needless to say I have a couple days to play with before I have to take drastic measures ! Have a great day!
