I had that great "no more guilt feeling" yesterday when I dropped mine off at the post office. It's going out of the country, so my Secret Sister will probably have to wait another week yet....but at least I know it's on it's way.

Me too, finally got mine sent out today. I was especially feeling guilty since I got my socks on the 3rd! Sure hope my SS likes the ones I picked for her.

Aha
SJCzar's SS is...
out of the country....
that narrows it down...
getting excited already
My July SS PM'd me yesterday. Which was so funny becos the day b4 she posted on the Kiwi Under Fire thread and I thought "Oooh , she's got it and she wants to stay secret but like most of us she can't stay 100% secret. Little clues squeeze their way out"
But it was just Team Estrogen telepathy

If you are still waiting it might be on me! I went to the shop near my work to get the socks today, but nothing looked good. Since I wasn't just going to pick anything I have to continue my search. Sorry Secret Sister, I hope to find some tomorrow at another shop.;)

My SS must also wait patiently!!! I have the socks, but for the life of me, I can't find a postcard that is local to my area! In FL, they had them at every damn pharmacy...but here in NC, I have to be more clever. I'm heading to one of the local attractions this weekend, so I hope to mail out on Monday!
Sorry!!

GLC, you should have stayed here!! Ok, mine's boxed up, now have to get it in the mail tomorrow. Sis- it'll be there by next week! I'm a procrastinator, but I'm sure my two other sisters will tell you (I hope!!) the wait is worth it! I don't know, maybe the last one never figured me out. It's not really hard- there were tons of clues...

I'm glad I'm not the only one having a hard time w/ the postcard. I did find one btw, but I can't say where.hee hee Any other time, there would be zillions everywhere you look. SS Sister, you should be getting your socks soon, card is on the way too. Hope you like them :)

Well, I totally forgot about the postcard! Guess, I'd better get out & look for one. Shouldn't be too hard here, I hope.....

I hope my secret sister has recieved her stuff by now. I had to send mine in parts because it'd take to long for the socks to get here... then there.
So the POSTCARD is coming I swear! I posted it!!!

07-21-2006, 05:55 PM
ok, girls...for those of you still struggling to find a postcard local to your area... try the Hallmark card shop. I had looked everywhere... never really thinking they'd have one:rolleyes: ... and just before I decided to drive down the interstate to a Welcome Center...:eek:

I did something really tricky for my "postcard," but I can't say because I want it to be a surprise!!
August is going to be fun...

I would like to thank my SS for my wonderful socks - two awesome pairs!! I especially like the "Oh, sh*#!" socks (definitely not offensive to me) - I will wear those when I ride the hills my husband loves and I still struggle with. Thank you SS!

Amanda -
I am guessing that you are my SS?! I LOVE the socks, the beans and the post cards! And that sticker cracks me up...I'm putting it on my car tonight! :D
My package came yesterday and it motivated me to try our local Hallmark for postcards. I found some!! I'm mailing my package out tomorrow so it should still arrive in July for my SS!!! :eek:
Thank you, again!!!

You are correct! I didn't think it would be too hard to figure out. That sticker cracks me up too, I see it everywhere. Glad you liked everything! :D

I finally mailed my SS gifties today!
Are we doing an August SS?
Nanci
07-25-2006, 02:03 PM
Yes, Fish, it's coffee (or tea, if you specify) and a mug. I'm in!
I think you have to sign up by Thursday. I _think_ it's mountainpuddles organizing it, but I'm not sure. Page down in Open, you'll see it.
Yes, mountainpuddles, thread title is August Secret Sister.

You've got to be my Secret Sister?? :D
Thank you sooooooo much for the awesome DeFeet Socks, from your local bike shop :) (red is my favorite color, too). I checked out the website - they have everything!
And, a yummy Larabar (cinammon roll)! That'll be my pre-dinner snack :) !
I love the postcards, and what a beautiful area to bicycle around in. What a small world....I'm a 10 minute walk from the street you used to live on!! How long ago were you out here?
Thanks so much for everything! Very sweet of you.
Have a great evening.
Denise
p.s. I forgot a postcard to my SS :eek: !!

Thank you secret sister. I got my dragonfly socks :)
"The Dragonfly is a mystical symbol used by the Celtics promoting harmony and prosperity" My husband is Irish and gave me a dragonfly necklace and earrings last year for my birthday. Good choice I love them. Cool card too!!

Hi Denise-
You are correct! I lived there up until about 12 years ago. I had an adorable little second floor apartment where the retired couple on the first floor owned the house. It was a steal and I totally loved that little place! I really miss being so near Boston, but my husband would flip out in that weather...he's a southerner, through and through! ;)
Glad you liked the socks...they are a really fun shop and I figured that it would be something you'd never see anywhere else! :)
