Stashmas 2012 time to open your gifts!!!!!

[backafteradozenyrs]

OMG, not to brag....BUT: I was in my LNS (which isn't *really* local for me) picking up the Stashmas part for jocellogirl (she ALSO won my Computer Bingo game....gotta' do this up BIG for her) & the owner asked about my "varied" purchase & I told her about "Stashmas" & that it was all going to be sent over to the UK.
As she was "tabbing up" (is that even a word?) my purchase, she threw in a couple of items as Langnap (sp?) that's the "extra gravy" New Orleans style that you get as a freebie...Now Jo, I will make sure your Bingo prize is set apart so you can open it as soon as it arrives but Stashmas is NOT until Dec. 1!

Mechie, was at the post office to post yours yesterday but suddenly decided I ought to wait until after Sandy had paid you a visit in case it got lost in the chaos. Do you think it would be safe to send it now?

It should be fine now. We actually got mail delivery both Monday (the height of the storm) and Tuesday (the aftermath). Today, things are back to normal other than a few downed trees (although none in my neighborhood) and lingering power outages (again, not in my neighborhood).

My parcel is now in the postal system so hope it doesn't take as long as some packages I've sent to the UK before now. Hope it arrives safely and you don't have too long to wait Liz.

The word Lagniappe means 'A Little Something Extra' in Cajun Country.

Thank you, Lori0...I thought I got that spelling wrong (& was almost off in the definition)...but I do the premise!

[Lori0]

Spelling just a little. Definition: Pretty much right on. cajun words are not spelled like they sound.

[backafteradozenyrs]

You're right there, Lori0....I sure could go for some Etoufee

I just updated the Send List with the people that have either POSTED or RECEIVED their Stashmas gift.

The send date is approaching fast! Time to finish up your shopping and think about getting it in the mail

Remember to post here that you have sent your gift and/ or received it!!!

[BizzieLizzie]

Mine will be posted either this weekend or early next week.

[talenaya]

Mine will be post tomorrow or the next.

[Serinde]

Just had a pm from Nach. Seeing as how we're talking eastern seaboard, I'll delay sending hers until next week...!

[Nachstenliebe]

Thanks for that. I'm going to wait a few days to post mine out as well.. hope that's ok.. I'm so paranoid after the ATC thing...

I have mine ready but I just need to buy an envelope tomorrow to send it in.

[Lizzieh]

Thanks Mechie I shall entrust it to the postoffice tomorrow!

[Fizzbw]

Mine is pretty much ready, just waiting for one more thing and then I have to find a lift to the PO!

So exciting.....

Edited to add: Package is sent!!

Me Too. Haven't cook up at batch in a long time. Cooking single is hard when it comes to cajun cooking.

[jocellogirl]

Mine's just about ready to go. I reckon I'll be in the Post Office with it on Monday. Hold onto your hat Kimkat_tkl!!!

Oh no! I missed the sign up for Stashmas! It was so fantastic last year! I hope you all have a great Stashmas, I'll be happily watching to see what everyone gets!
