received my exchange

18 years ago

Oh, this is SO MUCH FUN. I received my exchange gift in the mail sometime yesterday. My husband and I left early in the morning to finish up our Christmas shopping before the big storm hit. Later in the evening, we were talking about how bad it was getting out and I went to the front porch to turn on the light and see what was happening outside...Lo & behold there was this HUGE BOX all covered with snow! I about jumped out of my skin trying to scramble that box inside...snow and all! My husband thought I was crazy....I haven't been this excited since I believed in Santa Claus!

Now the hard part...having to wait! I don't know if I can! But I will cuz that is the rule!

    How exciting! So...can you tell us who it's from???

  • 18 years ago

    OH BECKY I'm getting excited just reading your post!

  • 18 years ago

    Yeh you have to know who sent it by now!!!Lucky you ,your the first!!!

  • 18 years ago

    I dont think its breaking any rules letting us know who sent it now that you got it. You just cant post a picture of it till the proper time!!!!

    Thats awesome that you got yours. I still dont know if mine made it to its destination yet!!!

    Since I'm not taking part - can you tell me when the pictures will be posted?

    It's supposed to go down on New Years Day

  • 18 years ago

    I am going to try and wait until New Year's Day to open my box....IF I CAN WAIT THAT LONG! It is now in my living room right next to the fireplace and it is killing me to wait. Everytime I go in there, I want to open it!

    There is a return address. But don't want to give out real names here, so... guessing it is from TAMAR-422? She described the box perfectly when she posted that she sent it. Am I correct TAMAR-422?

    My exchange gift is all boxed up and ready to mail. Think I will head to the post office tomorrow. Mine has a bit further to go and want to be sure it gets to it's rightful place in time.

    "their" who?

  • 18 years ago

    Let's see ... awkwardly large box with "Extremely Fragile" and "Handle with Care" stickers all over it ... Yep, that's from me.

    Becky in Iowa, I hope you like it. It's pretty simple, but if you enjoy Beethoven, you will probably love it ... (that's a very bad teaser clue, LOL!)

    Can't wait to see!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Oh!! I knew none of us could be good!
    That's why I am sending mine the 26th!
    With Christmas......this is too hard!!!!
    The excitement is just so hard!

    So Just to let everyone know......
    The first one to post their gift, usually starts the post,
    and we just add ours to that...so we are all on the same one. So it will be a race this time!hahahah!!
    usually it's as they come in.......this time it's a same day open........so it's going to be a race!!haha

    ROSIE!!!! YOU are our LEADER!!! YOU are supposed to SET THE EXAMPLE!!!LOL!!! Heck, No holds barred now!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Hazie's right! 1st Poster needs to make a generic yet exciting title like "IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE!!!!" and we'll all dog pile on and add to that! LOL

    Remember if you don't have a camara or quick access (because we are terribly impatient) ask for pics to be posted by the artist who made your gift. I think Rosey sent a reminder to get shots before you mailed it right?

  • 18 years ago

    Okey, y'all. Fess up! You probably opened yours too! I'm gonna tattle on SLOW...She opened hers first--on SUNDAY! Not telling who mine's from or what it is....you'll have to wait for the posting and photo! It was so carefully packaged and wrapped. When I opened it, my jaw dropped!--oh my goodness. The design, the colors, the precision..STUNNING! I stared at it for hours last evening. It came to the right house....I have a small collection....it was also MY choice of substrate for the exchange. You know who you are: from the bottom of my heart, I will treasure it! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    hmmmmm precision huh... Hazie or or Chickee or or...

    I guess Slow didn't wag it! LOL

  • 18 years ago

    Well, this is NO FAIR!! WE WANT PICTURES!! you guys couldn't wait to open them but you want US to wait for pictures.
