    that works out then! by the way, the Benny Hall vinyl doesn't have to be sealed. :D

    Yep, that's what I do - I'm about 1/8th of the way done. The hold up last year - took weeks to come - was the order from PJ goods.

    I like white gold better too. And large bills, no tens or twenties.

    I got almost everything I wanted to send before I even knew who my person was. All I need is for it to stop raining and I will make my way to the post office (hopefully early next week).
    Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!

  • ClaireackClaireack Posts: 13,561

    I open mine, as well.

    1/3 of the gifts arrived today in the mail.

    Still waiting on the ferret chow.

    I hope my recipient isn't allergic to weasels.

    Really wish I could have done this, money is really tight this year. Plus the last time I did something like this on the board I spent a bunch of money and got no return. (At least Dimi liked his snow globe!) :mrgreen:

    OMG I so want a weasel! Sick of getting ferrets every single year, there's only so many ferrets I can fit down my trousers and I'm getting sick of them scratching.

    Why wait until X-mas to open the prezzie??

    Unlost - hopefully there won't be quarantine issues! Well at least for a weasel. Not sure what rules and regulations are for shipping a zombie.

    @ Claireack: You're not supposed to put them down your trousers, silly _ they're supposed be inside your shirt. Of course, that probably won't eliminate the scratching issue.

    @ redrock: I figured I'd get around that by saying it's a cat.

    No good?

    Cool idea. Wish I'd come to this forum before today - I'd have done this. Looks like tons of fun. :lol:

    I'll have to make a note of this for next year, if I am still around.
