Sign ups have tapered off. You can still send in your name and address if you want but I can't guarantee that there will be anyone for me to match you up with. It's possible. There are always late comers. Wouldn't hurt to try.

Now we start the best part. Seeing what everyone gets.

Don't be too worried if you haven't mailed your gift yet. I haven't either but time is getting shorter.

Can't wait for the pictures to come in.

Wow. There it is in my inbox, like it's supposed to be. Anybody else send in their name and did not get one in return? Anybody on the fence about joining want to be paired with MS?

OK. I sent you two each other's addresses. Hopefully there's no more that I misplaced. If I did don't hesitate to let me know. If someone still wants to sign up I'll see what I can do.

Ah, you're so welcome! It looks even better than I thought it might. May have to get myself one too! Razz emoticon Glad you can enjoy it.

Ah, heck, I'd swap with you. I need to get one package together anyway, may as well make it two!

Seriously, PM if interested.

'Twas a knock at the door,
And lo-and behold...
A box had appeared,
And an elf was departing...
What could it all mean?
So neat and tidy in their box...

Even more impressive when out...

What fun - chocolate, playing cards, coasters, beeswax candles, lip balms, book-mark and Wanted Poster...

Many thanks Gloria.

I know I will probably talk to you in the next couple of days but how big is that scooter tile piece of art? If you need help framing it let me know. I followed Belk on the web and I have seen the photos of it being put together. I am just curious.

I couldn't wait to open it!

I should have put something in the picture for size reference. It's 11 x 17 inches.

I was just tidying up my desk and found the note that should be in the holiday gift box I sent. I think this is becoming a thing with me... I'm not sure I've managed to get one note in the box in all the years I've been doing this!

And I don't want to blow the surprise for the recipient... so when he/she posts that it has arrived, I'll have to pm a photo of the note.

Thanks, Strick!
My gift arrived today and it was awesome!

Some Maryland love was sent in my package, Old Bay seasoning - my favorite! I also got a buff (great for helmet hair, might I add) and a gremlin bell. I just bought my 1969 Rally 180 and so I needed one, it was perfect!

Thank you so much, Strick. This was fun!
