is the minimum price of the pressie NOT including postage so it's up to you to keep an eye on size and weight.

Shame on me. I've also read wrong :fp: . But there's still time for a second letter with a few small gifts . I always forget something. Still goes away on.

OK, the last few days have been a little like this :crazy: for me. Finally I'm posting a picture of all my goodies, courtesy of hgpjam11:



Starting at the top and going sort of clockwise we have:

A couple of pseudo tennis balls for my dogs to play fetch with (they squeak!) A bracelet made of cord and a small silver piece that says

Smile. Great sentiment and great song!
A bootleg from Noblesville, Indiana, 5/7/2010
A Christmas ornament from Santa Claus, Indiana and a St. Patrick's Day magnet from Ireland, Indiana. I have no problem believing the names of these towns since in Texas we have Paris, Athens, Rhome, Dublin, and Italy, not to mention Notrees and Cut and Shoot.
A loaf of stollen, the holiday bread they make in Germany and that I'm nuts about. It's sort of like fruitcake except it's not really like fruitcake. This one is yummy.
A box of handmade truffles. These disappeared rapidly. :oops:
And--HOW COOL IS THIS!--a Rolling Stone magazine from November 1977 with a long article written by Pete Townshend. It's mostly about his spirituality as a follower of Meher Baba, which is interesting to a Who geek like me since that was a big part of Pete's songwriting during that period. After recently finishing his memoir, it was fun reading this. There is also a caption under a picture of him that calls him "the aging godfather of punk." :think: Hmm, in 1977, Pete was 32. Some aging godfather!


Looking at that Rolling Stone also sent me down memory lane, thinking about what I was doing in November 1977.

Thank you, Heather, for all my lovely gifts!

Wow wonderful gifts and how perfect! A 1977 Rolling Stone with Pete...
priceless! Great job!

Our gift boxes will be shipping in a couple days to receive by the weekend

Just got my parcel yesterday and a big thank you goes out to Larsk13!!

I got a cool homemade card, an Eddie Vedder Bridge School CD, a DE Pearl Jam Sticker and a homemade stickman pin which quickly made it's way onto my winter jacket!

Thanks so much again Lars!

On a side note, I was finally able to send out my SS present. It cost a fortune to ship but I've been promised it will be there by Friday or next Monday at the latest....pretty good considering how far it has to go! :shock:

Now, as long as customs doesn't open it we should be good, otherwise my recipient is going to think it's a really lame present :fp:

whispering hands

Hope my gift gets there soon! I think I taught
it to swim... Hope I remembered that part!!

I got my SS pressie this weekend! Thank you so much to Lori in New Jersey...seriously the BEST card I have ever received!!! Here are some pics:

Mamasan23

Also I'm a little nervous about my recipient's package...the tracking shows it delivered on Friday but I haven't heard anything yet :?

More awesome gifts coming in :thumbup:

Package came in Saturday mixed with all my others. Haven't had a chance to open it though yet. Debating whether or not I should wait until Christmas Day.

decisions...decisions...

And if I'm not mistaking...it came from Shannon. that in itself makes me worried that I should open it by myself with no kids around.

I'm also a little idiot. :fp:
It's not my SS gift :nono:
It's something I had ordered from eBay. I'm starting to lose track.
Once I get the thing I'm writing again. Sorry folks!

Yay! My Secret Santa pressie has arrived, and it had a looooong way, it came from New Zealand! Since I am an impatient and curious person, I opened it right away Thank you, morello, I love it all!!!

Here's what I got:


- a New Zealand shopping bag - that will be used till it falls apart! We are always taking our own bags to the supermarket and refuse the plastic mess, and everytime we get weird looks
- a set of beautiful coasters - they will look awesome on Walter, my desk
- my very first koozie!
- 2 pretty cool fridge magnets - went directly to the fridge!
- a set of awesome badges - you can never have enough cool badges
- a bottle opener in the shape of a kiwi which is also a keychain, pretty cool
- a bottle opener that says I NZ :thumbup:
- two small notepads
and a lovely card.

Thanks so much, Jenny! Here's to another pre-gig meeting in 2013

Happy holidays :wave:

morello

YAYYYYYYYY!! I'm so glad you like the goodies & that it arrived nice & quick!! Merry Christmas to you & to Cav! May you have the BEST Xmas as your 1st as man & wife!!
