It's my first one too, but from earlier posts, what about post cards or a calendar from your area, some small item you have stitched, or an example of another craft you are interested in?

I have just purchased mine online as the nearest craft shop is over 30 miles away and it doesn't have a big cross stitch section.

Thanks for that. One other question: Do we have to keep it a secret about who has sent the present? For example if you sent a card with your gift can you sign it from yourself?

You can do either named or secret.

My stuff has arrived today.

So I have my stashmas gift and personal gift all sorted.
Just need to think how I am going to wrap them up safely for posting.
Then it is just waiting on the address.

I have orderd my present. I just hope my person isn't one of the people that may have pulled out!! Oh well I guess I could always keep it for myself

I need to finalise my present by ordering online.

Kell and Kitty, if you do need to re-assign please can you let us know soon. Will be placing the order this weekend.

GOOD NEWS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

All addresses have now been received by us, so we will be sending them all out in the next few days. If you haven't been reassigned yet, you should be safe to buy for your notified recipient.

A couple of people did have to be reassigned, as their recipients had to pull out for their own reasons. Those people know who they are, and the reassignments were done prior to this week. Thank you again ladies for being flexible and facilitating this whole process.

Great - thanks!!! And thanks to both of you for all your hard work on this.

Yes thank you both for all your hard work.

whoo hoooo... now it's time to shop!!!!
Faith

Awesome! Thanks ladies

And yup! time to SHOP!!!

And I might sneak something into the cart for me too...

Just trying to decide on the last part of my Stashmas present (the one that represents me) and then I'm all good to send off!

I made my stashmas present to represent me last night. I'm getting excited now!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE
Just to let you all know, I've sent out about half the addresses from my list this morning and will be sending the rest this afternoon (I have to head out this morning or I'd do them all just now).

Please check your PMs.

Happy stashmas!
Kell.

Thanks Kell!

Found the perfect present for my Stashmas recipient and sent it off just now ... by email !

Going shopping today..and leaving the hubby at home..he worked last night so my simple and caring excuse was your tired sleep. Ill go by myself and should be home by the time you wake up.

The closest stitchy store is an hour away from me, used be closer but apparently the did not do the building inspections and the roof caved in on them during a bad flooding rain earlier this year

oh the horrors of all the stitchy stuff ruined...no one was hurt it was afterhours so i can worry about the stash first!!

By the way, was just thinking, should we have a sticky "Look What I Got For Stashmas" thread so that we can all show off what we get? (I love looking at other people's stash almost as much as looking at my own )

Great idea! I love looking at other people's stash too.
I got my address! I'm so exciting!

Mabel~ I think that is a great idea. I would love to see what every gets for Stashmas!

I just finished shopping for my person today.... one or two more things to do and i will be able to send out their package!!!!! I can't wait
