Well I bought a few more things today. :o But I have just ONE more thing to get, as I was going to make something but just not time, so I will be buying the person a gift. I know I said I was done, but well.........LOL
I be shipping mine out tomorrow for sure. :)
Anxiously hoping my "gift pal" gets their gift soon. :D
Going to the post office in just a little bit! Whee! :D
Finished my shopping on Sat and got to the Post Office to mail it off. To the recipient: Unfortunately it will take 8 business days for the package to get there. I could have sent it in 3-5 business days but that would cost me an extra $30.00 which I don't have right now. So, hopefully in less than 2 weeks it will get there.
Let's here one for Canada Post......
:eek: :eek: Ours just tapes it up free if it looks like it needs it.Quote:
(unless u wanna spend 3$ on tape at the post office)
REALLY?!?! WOW I never knew that!Quote:
We don't get mail on sat or sun
Okies, well, I've already got a box to put the things in....I think we might have some brown paper to put over it...(My mom's a big fan of keeping paper bags to tape on parcels :rolleyes: )
I just finished making the last (hopefully last!!) present yesterday. Took me a long time lol. It looks kinda...ummm....gibbled...hope my buddy doesn't mind....:o It's the thought that counts, right? :D
Sending mine after work today :p .. so in approximately 2 hours! :D
To my recipient, I apologize for the color of the wrapping tissue paper in the box, I forgot a little detail :o ;) hehe
I checked the tracking on the package I sent to my Gift Swap recipient today and the website states that it was in NB on the 26th. I can't wait for her to get it.
And "she" can't wait either!!!! ;)
Is it too late for me? I decided that I want to do it!! Is Christmas the next go around?:(
This one is already done for people to join. But there will be another one in January hopefully:)
Sent!!! I sent it air mail, cost 10 bucks and it will take about 2 weeks! :( I figured air would be sooner that that .. land would've taken 4-6 weeks! :eek:
Can someone fill me in on this?:confused:
I sent mine today while I was at work, I tried to be a horrible customer, but it didn't work, I couldn't stop giggling.
& my manager was mad at me cause I closed the parcel before she had a look at my homemade gift. Luckly I took a photo of it & I'll show it to her as soon as my partner gets it.
Mine's all packed up, and it should be off tomorrow! :)
It's a gift swap. :) Everyone was assigned a person to switch a gift with.Quote:

Ok, I bought my last thing today and shipped it air, so it should be there in about two days. :0) It was only ten bucks to ship it, but I had to buy tape and a box too. It was so fun to get it all together and decorate the box, and stuff it with cool colorful paper. I want to do this all the time lol! :p :D
Can't wait til my buddy gets this!
I didn't decorate my box :o I got impatient and just stuffed newspaper inside it, covered it in a paper bag, and stuck on a million pounds of duck tape hahaha. :o :rolleyes:
I just wanted to say. That when my person recieves there gift they will offically know for 100% that I am infact insane. All my animals had to have there say about it and they even argued a little in the letter we included. It's a funny little letter and I hope it bring her laughs.
Licks and Tail waggs,
Nova
Lots of Love and Rattie Kisses,
Melony Hope Tundra and Brook
And
Sincerly,
Ashley
Ok, i finished buying everything and it will be in the air tomorrow! ;)
"and stuck on a million pounds of duck tape hahaha"
======
Awwwwww Man, its gonna take forever to open that.
My person needs to open their gift carfully & NOT with a knife!! You wouldn't to harm the homemade gift.
I didn't get to decorate my box, & I couldn't stuff it with cool paper, it was totally full of treats & toys:pQuote:

Ok I really didn't stuff it, more like cover it lol. My box was pretty full, but I still had a little room to put some green shredded stuff on top. Plus I made my own adress labels and something else I thought would be cool that you put on the outside of the box. :p
I cannot believe the way they treat peoples packages. I made it all pretty and the guy just tossed it. :( I mean threw it! Grrr. Lets just hope everything gets there in one piece. If I worked there I would lay it down at least a little gentle, not throw it. I never knew they did that. Oh well, ,I am sure it will be fine. They said it should be there either tomorrow or Thursday so I can't wait til my person gets the package!!!
Postmen arn't allowed to toss parcels, at the stations if u get caught tossing a parcel & not setting it down, u get in a heeeeeep of doo doo. Even at the outlets where I work, ur not allowed to toss a parcel, u can complain.

Don't feel bad Cataholic... somehow I missed this whole thing! :(
Well, maybe we can have a Christmas gift (cat) swap ... I think that would really be fun!!! Stockings, etc!!! :D
Mine is on the way! It should get there in 2-3 days! :D
My gift should be arriving tomorrow in Europe. (I hope) ;)
I'm sending mine UPS today on my way to work.
When Anna says it was stuffed with toys, she wasn't kidding! You should have seen the hysteria at my house when something squeaked! I had four dogs saying "gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme". I ended up tossing them out to save myself! Then they went to "mine, mine, mine, mine". Dick and I of course stayed completely out of the way.Quote:

And the treats, I found out they REALLY LIKE those! When I rattle the package they are so "right there" for me!
Thanks to Anna from
Max, Carly, Molly & Muffin
I'll try to get pictures, but everytime i get the camera out they run. I think they're tired of me and the camera.
I'm so glad to hear that everything got there alright & that they all like the stuff I got for them http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...nce/1blue1.gif
