Hey there TBF!

You're correct, coupled with the fact that I'm a naturally shy elf... the posts haven't been flowing. But fear not...part of your package is on the way. The rest is almost complete in its assembly and will be sent out over the weekend. Late...but what's an elf to do?

Apologies for being a quiet one. Never fear...I would never be a grinch. :D
I heard from my elf and got part of my gift but not the rest. I hope nothing happened to it! I do know that I ordered something for my sister from Barnes & Noble the week before Xmas and only 1 of 5 items have shipped.... :argh: ....so stores and mail is still backlogged from the holidays.

Just wanted to let my elf know it hasn't been received in case something has been sent and she's wondering.

My dh keeps ordering himself things, too, (jerk) so packages keep arriving at our house. :mallet:
Hiya TBF!

Don't worry, the package really should be on its way. I sent it on 12/31, but noticed on 1/2 that UPS must not have done a pick-up on New Year's Eve (how dare they), so I don't think it went out until 1/2. I suppose I should go check to make sure that it really did go out.

There could be one item that gets it stopped...but only 'cause it might masquerade as something its not. I checked shipping laws to NY, and I don't think I sent anything illegal...but I was gonna. ;)

Sorry it's taking so long. I had good intentions of a shipping date, but that quickly came and went.

Post on this thread if you don't receive anything by beginning of next week.

What a generous offer, CL. :hug: I hope you don't have to use it though. I hate to think that anyone on THIS board got grinched!! :oops:
It's my pleasure... I would hate to be Grinched.

I am so glad she got it. Will the cooler fit? I was hoping so I didn't want to give it away by asking. When I seen the crop I just had to send it.

:clap: :clap:
The cooler actually fits WONDERFULLY, Eleanor, and I'm sooo thankful for it! The fleece cooler that I had won on the Olive that had been ordered in a horse size was HUGE on the Princess, so my mom "adjusted" it to make it fit him better. However, as of late, he has gained quite a bit of weight (yay!!!!! :woot: ) and that cooler no longer fits. I was ecstatic at seeing the cooler in the box, and the crop will, at some point, I'm sure, come in quite handy.

Hi my elf!
Thanks so much for letting me know the status. I had no doubts about it being sent but just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it (those damn thieving neighbors!!) ;) Not to mention the day the snow drifted in the driveway and I refused to start up the tractor until the wind stopped.....(dh in Atlanta, of course! :mallet: )....I'm no expert "plowing" w/ a backblade so come spring who knows what will be found on the sides of my driveway! I only barely missed a lamppost. (OK, I did *graze* it but it was still ok.)

Gosh....what could be potentially illegal to send to NY? So exciting!! :luck:

I will surely let you know when it arrives so you know all is well.

:clap: :clap:

I had the best SS last year (Onyx ;) ) but I never heard from the person I bought for (she never picked up her gifts which were at her local post office after a failed delivery attempt.) I spent so much time, effort, and $ on the gifts. It was disappointing so I decided not to participate this year. As much as I loved receiving, buying was even more fun, I think, and it sucked being grinched that way....

I would be REALLY shocked if Scotchie is grinched. :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:

Let me contact her SS before we get all :soapbox: about this one.

CDE driver, I'll do the same for you and get back to you. :yes:

She was in Costa Rica (Scotchie, not her santa) so maybe the post office still has it. :yes: :yes:

I'd be happy to be a de-Grinch-er :) That is, as long as the person doesn't mind a 5x7 watercolor of their horse or pet as their de-Grinching present...
That is very sweet.

I also heard from my SS two or three weeks before Christmas that a package was coming, but nothing yet. But I haven't been to get the mail yet today!
CDE you're not grinched I swear it!!! I posted at Christmas for you, and I'm so sorry your package is so late, but I really think you'll like it. If it's not there by Wednesday, please please please PM me and I'll replace the whole thing. It should be there by now! :sigh:

You're really really really not grinched. I put a lot of thought into your gifts. :yes: And I'll do it again if I have to, I promise.
