    Well I haven't had mine yet, but I had a slip through the door today saying I missed a parcel...so it could be :P

    But as you're all the way over a big ocean I doubt it would get here that fast. The parcel is either my SS present, or my 10c order from the sale....and it is NOT gonna be my 10c order :lol: Maybe in May? Before the tour? :)
    :wave:

    We'll see tomorrow when I go pick it up :D
    Will you open it before Xmas?

    Hello to my S.S. from Coventry! :) I just wanted to let you know that I have received my package. I am going to exercise self restraint and wait to open it on Christmas Day. Thank you kindly! I'll come back with content details and proper thanks some time after the holidays. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! :)

    Sian, as I wrote in a PM, that gift was amazing! The drawing alone was beautiful! Thank you!

    My good energy wall - 5 needlepoints I completed, Thank you letters from my niece and nephew after I took them to PJ concerts, a cool piece of art called BellaBella I bought someowhere, a candy dish full of balls of yarn, and the newest edition - a drawing of Eddie Vedder by Sian-of-the-dead.

    YAH! I'm so glad you got it and like it! :) I had fun putting it together. As I said in the card, those are a few of my favorite things, especially the Tankhouse Ale! :) And I'm glad you like the keychain and magnets! We make them in our basement and I have SO much fun doing it!

    Merry Christmas!!!

    Once again Helen, thanks for organizing this! For the 3rd year now, I've so much enjoyed the whole process!

    Thank you Thank you SS! I got an awesome PJ hoodie sweatshirt! It's one I'm not familiar with so I'll have to do some research. It's like the Toronto 06 poster so I'm going to assume that's where it's from for now. Very cool! Thanks so much, hoodies are worn year round here. :) It didn't say who my SS was so I'll have to do a bit of research there as well. ;) Also, another thanks to Helen for doing this yet again. :)

    Glad you liked the hoodie, it's actually a european one from 2006 (sorry if it was full of dog hair, the stuff gets everywhere)
    I had a little note written out explaing the witch keyring, it's a Lancashire thing with the pendle witches thought it was cool.

    Thank you Sprunkn7 :mrgreen:

    I received some bootlegs ... and the amazing Space Drummer sticker (I had wanted one of these since seeing photos of them posted on the board :D) ... a reuseable bag that folds up into the shape of a fish :lol:8-) (will be great for the weekly grocery shop) ... a scarf ... and chocolate ... and all of it came in a lovely felt christmas bag.

    Thank you again so much for my gifts they were lovely :)

    Got home from the New Year's fun and games and there was a box left from the postman. Upon ripping into it very carefully I found some choice gifts from over the pond. I got a nice MiniFuckin'Cooper mug, I nice London calendar which is shot in black and white. I ask: Is there any other way to shoot pictures? A ton of candies, some chocolates and two discs of mixed music. It is always nice to get these as you hear a lot of non radio play or music that didn't get across the ocean that way. And is true "Secret Santa" tradition, they did not disclose their name. Very nice indeed.

    By the way it had a post of Nov. 21 or 24 or something like that. Man that took a long time to get here. They must be checking the mail?!?! :shock: I did not panick though as we have not had too many problems with this exchange we do on the board. "The waiting drove me mad". ;)


    Thank you "SS"!!!!!!!!!! Hope you had a great Christmas and will be enjoying a swell New Year!
