Wow, awesome to see everyone really enjoying their SS gifts. Some amazingly creative gift ideas. I'm still waiting for the SS gift I sent to arrive at it's destination. It's been almost five weeks since I sent it :shock: :twisted: I hope that arrives before Xmas, but if it doesn't, than I just want to apologise to my SS recipient on behalf of Canada Post and Mother Nature :oops:
Mind you, you still have a bit of yours outstanding :oops: :oops:
I'll be watching out for it. Thank you, again!
Speak of the devil Lo and behold, in my mailbox today was the final portion of my amazing gift from my SS dottles. Thank you so much again. I could definitely do with a little bottle of happiness

I really hope the gift I sent arrives before Xmas, sent it weeks ago :(
Irish Al... rest assured!
I came home from work today in a rotten mood (well, admittedly a little less rotten after a series of cheerful texts and then a too-short phone conversation with Boo Boo... frigging' MBTA tunnels!) to find a long tube waiting for me, with a little tiny return address at one end _ Al... from Ireland... must be Irish Al! (Pretty quick on the uptake, I am.)
The image below does not nearly do it justice...
Picture an absolutely GORGEOUS signed Brad Klausen poster. Gdynia, Poland show from July 1, 2010. It's the most amazing design, a sea monster taking down a sailing ship. (I just read a little bit about Gdynia, it's a Baltic Sea seaport.) Just incredible, the art took my breath away.
I'm going to have it framed and it will be hanging either in the dining room or in the front hall. It's just beautiful.
And with the poster... a PJ badge made up by the European bunch, a PJ sticker, and a bag of the most delicious Irish caramels. Tore them open and ate one before I took the photo below. And, as sweet and truly appreciated, a note from Irish Al himself!

Thank you so much - I love all of the stuff and the Finland theme! Can't wait to get stuck into the edibles!
The playing cards are awesome too - ew have people round to play poker every New Year - this year we shall be using the Finland cards!
Huh, so I've had this postal card that stated signature required since monday. Made plans to drive to the post office after work to get the package associated with this card. As it turned out , I'm getting off work 2 1/2 hours AFTER :twisted: my scheduled time to clock out. :problem: :problem: :think: :think: :think: So I changed my plan.
Wait in line on my lunch hour(in the midst of a challenging day!!!) And wait and wait :x , finally get to the counter. Hand the guy the card and he goes to the back. I can see him poking around , checking boxes , searching for my name and address on the package, then he goes out of eyesight. When he comes back to the counter he's carrying a poster mailing tube!!! All the way from Edmonton,Alberta, Canada!!

Thank You very much Mr. CREE NATIONS!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I had to wait another 8 hours before I could open the tube when I got home.
And instead of waiting for a reply to a PM to Jeremy's spoken on how to best take a poster on the bathroom floor pic , I went to Klausen's site and stole the image!!!!
Included was a bag of Hershey's Kisses Mint Truffle flavored.
he aslo included a nice card with a few PJ stickers!!

I'm still waiting, but that's ok.. I'm just happy that I had enough money to do this, this year.I've wanted to do this for a few years now. So it's made my year just to get to participate, and I'll be happy with my gift whenever it decides to get here. I'm beginning to think it may have taken a pit stop somewhere...lol :-) I love to see all the gifts.. and when mine gets here, I promise, to learn to upload the photos to show you all..;-)
I think with customs getting more and more paranoid every year and the bad weather in parts of the world, a lot of Santas will be delayed this year. I haven't received anything yet and the gift I sent out has not been delivered either, so I have more time to hope my SS likes their gift and to look forward to getting mail
