KBlueI missed the post office tonight, but will mail tomorrow and assure it will arrive by Saturday.
Dec 18, 2012, 12:40 AM
lindaj52I'm in the same boat as KBlue. Got to the post office at around 4:20pm, only to find out that their winter hours went into effect on 12/1 and they now close at 4:00pm. So, I will be at the PO early tomorrow, and since I'm sending it via Priority Mail, it still should be there by no later than Friday. Ah, well, if I hadn't stopped at my brother's service station to have my left front headlight lamp replaced, I would have made it. But better to have the headlight working than not 'cause they ticket you here in Illinois if you have a burnt-out headlight.

patty jI think mine arrived this afternoon, You would enjoy seeing DH trying to get me to open it up. He doesn't understand why wait until Sun. to open. I hide it and he finds it and brings it out to me. Now I'm going to hide it in plain sight in the sewing room. Even I can't find stuff in there. LOL
Thank you SSSS, I can wait until Sun. when Sue will be over. Pat

I received my SSSS today with a note on the box in Big Black Letters "DO NOT OPEN TIL 12/23/12". Guess I will be good and place the box by the fireplace. 4 more days!
Dec 19, 2012, 06:07 PM
toryamMine says it'll be delivered on 22 Dec!! (Hope that whole impending apocalypse thingy doesn't delay it

)
Dec 19, 2012, 06:07 PM
Lisa - TXI had been out of town for a family funeral, but my stocking is on the way to my secret person. No package here yet, but the mail carrier seems to be running more than once a day

. Not really sure what is going on with that, but will check the boxes again when I go out in a bit.
Dec 19, 2012, 06:24 PM
crazy'boutquiltsThe mailman just delivered a box to my door!!!

QuiltaholicI so hope everyone receives their stockings in time for the reveal.
Dec 20, 2012, 12:08 PM
STinMTMy dog lets me know when the mail carrier arrives. A box with SSSS on it arrived this morning and I put under the tree and will await the opening party.
Dec 20, 2012, 01:41 PM
NickileeHi ladies!
Only 3 more days to go before we can all open up our prezzies! If you can make it be sure to log in at 9:00 ETS on SUnday Dec 23rd as we all open up our gifts at the same time.
As of today I have yet to hear from 3 ladies as to when/if they have mailed out their stockings. If you haven't mailed yet please DO ASAP as we don't want anyone missing out on the fun. Thank you!
Dec 20, 2012, 04:21 PM

Dec 20, 2012, 04:40 PM
wileyMy stocking arrived about 15 minutes ago! I could tell it's a stocking cuz it has SSSS above the return address and it also says not to open until the 23rd!
Dec 20, 2012, 05:25 PM
thimble ladyMine just arrived and had do not open until 12/23 also!! Hope I can wait.
Dec 20, 2012, 05:38 PM
Lisa - TXA box arrived today with my address for the "TO" and the "FROM" along with a note saying "do not open until December 23rd". It has to be the SSSS package

. I hid the metered mail from my eyes and peeled it off and threw it in the trash, so that I would not know where it was mailed from. Gotta keep it a surprise!
Tracked the one I sent and it is on its way to someone special!
Dec 20, 2012, 05:41 PM
mcpatchesLisa -
since when did you give up snooping? Seems to me you always end up knowing who has your name before they do! LOL

Dec 20, 2012, 05:45 PM
Lisa - TXI have turned over a new leaf!

!
I didn't snoop last year either, so I'm trying to keep it a secret for a few more days.
So fess up, is it you?!?

Dec 20, 2012, 05:53 PM
J LuNope! Nothing yet. This is a really big secret! Luck I'm a patient women. It's the anticipation that is killing me.nvhesoofecbjuwxbjiiummm

KBlueMine came today! I have to say I am not very good at waiting. As a kid I use to open my gifts early and re-wrap so my mom wouldn't know. The next three days will be very tough for me. I might have to have my daughter hide it.

Do you have phone numbers Nicki? Need them?

Dec 20, 2012, 08:32 PM
NickileeThanks Sandi - I'm all set.
I am happy to report that all but 1 SSSS gift is in the mail - I'm still waiting to hear from &@#*(@^#@*(&D - you know who you are so PLEASE PM or email me ASAP to let me know the status.
Looks like quite a few deliveries have been made and more should be made tomorrow and Saturday. See you at 9:00 ETS Sunday eve!

DJillMMy package arrived today, I placed it under the tree.
Dec 21, 2012, 06:53 AM
ShogunMy DH took the box labeled SSSS the minute it arrived. He didn't even let me lift it or shake it or anything. So, he is supposed to bring the box out of hiding Sunday evening!! Ali/Shogun
Dec 21, 2012, 11:58 AM
angelinamorMy box arrived yesterday - yay!
Still watching (via USPS) the one I sent off on Monday. I hope it gets delivered ok given all the bad weather in the middle of the country!
Dec 21, 2012, 12:33 PM
Fleur55I must admit this is not easy. This is my first SSSS and my box continues to stare at me

Twas almost the night and my stockings were hung,
Oh, almost all but one
still in the box
wanting to get out,
I can hear it clear
but the hostess says
not yet
soon the day will be here
and sounds of joy will be sung.
Dec 21, Dec 22, DEC 23!!!!
Dec 21, 2012, 12:46 PM
NickileeYEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! All stockings are now accounted for.




Ladies, I cannot stress the importance of putting confirmation numbers on your packages. A couple of us are in the midst of tracking down a package that had been marked delivered but then confirmed as "undeliverable"... hopefully we find this package soon.
Dec 21, 2012, 12:56 PM
J LuHappy New Year!! I got a box today ladies I'm not sure who it is from but I promise it's under my tree. My husband says this is what Christmas has begun to look like FedEx boxes and Amazon under the tree?Ha! Where is the spirit! He doesn't get it. I feel better now. I was beginning to think you forgot about me.
