Quartermaster James Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Package has been mailed and I'm pretty sure the recipient will know who it is....dang my elves have been talking behind my back again! Well shucks Rumba! If'n you announce when you send it, and it's the first of these Secret Santa gifts to arrive, chances are real good they'll figure out who sent it! :D
Gentleman of Fortune Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Good to see this is still going after... 4... 5 years now? Kudos GoF Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!
Guest Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I got mine yesterday.... Now that I'm back from PiP...I have to get my Secret Santa project finished and mailed kinda soon.....
Commodore Swab Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I agree, Im still trying to finish mine up. I wish we had more time to finish.
Quartermaster James Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 It sounds as if some gifts have been sent early. It's only December 10th, afterall. I reckon, even with holiday shipping times, there's still a week to get things together, no?
Black Syren Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 *Crosses fingers* Im hoping to send mine out soon as well...shhh! If the Elves squeal Im taking it to Santa!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Â Â
Ransom Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 My gift and Chain Shots will be going out around the first of next week. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Iron Jon Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 My gift and Chain Shots will be going out around the first of next week. Mine also... as soon as I get it in the mail it'll be back in the mail again!

Rumba Rue Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 Good to see this is still going after... 4... 5 years now? Kudos GoF Thank you GoF!! Sadly we seem to be not having as many people as in the past. I do hope it picks up next year. A good hint to all, buy stuff during the year when you see it on sale or just know it's going to be a great gift for someone. That's what I do, so I have a small supply of goodies to give people when the time comes so I don't have to rush around to find something or make something. BTW-Those of you who do make things, consider doing it much earlier if you know you're going to participate in this. It will save you tons of time!
Quartermaster James Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Yarr! I be a pyrate! Yarrdy yarrrdy yarr yarr yarr! I gets me name and then I goes through my big chest o' loot till I find something just right! Yarrr! I be a shameful sort indeed! Someday maybe I'll have the skills to make something nice. Till then, yall just have to make do with whatever I filtched from the hold before we scuttled her! Yarrdy yarrrdy yarr yarr yarr!
Commodore Swab Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 BTW-Those of you who do make things, consider doing it much earlier if you know you're going to participate in this. It will save you tons of time! Of course for those of us making things it helps to know who you are making it for instead of just making something generic.
Guest Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Of course for those of us making things it helps to know who you are making it for instead of just making something generic. Yeah... that way it's something specific for them.......
Rumba Rue Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 Just trying to be helpful. Guess I'll have to reprimand the Elves for their suggestions.
Black Syren Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Mine was sent out yesterday! *snoopy dances* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Â Â
Blackbead Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Mine goes out tomorrow!! And I can't wait for mine to get here! "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Mine went out today! And yes, I couldn't help myself - the choice of present was just too darn good.
Ransom Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Mine and Chain Shot's went out today as well. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Blackbead Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Ahoy me hearties, it's a wonderful day! The present I chose is on it's way! I wish you Merry Christmas, my unmet friend! And pray that you like what I picked to send! Some might not like to get this as a gift Others, I think, their spirits it'd lift. I think YOU will like it, have no fear, Bilge said it's a fine present for a buccaneer! So prop up your feet, for an hour you can drift, Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, and please enjoy my gift!

Black Syren Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 *Grins* I received both of mine..and yes both are from the same person! Maybe the one that says do not bend did not fit?????? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Â Â

Quartermaster James Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 So, are folks opening their gifts as they arrive or are we all going to open our presents on a certain day?
Guest Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I got mine last week, and sent my gift out a few days ago, but it should get there in tyme... But I'm saving opening mine until Christmas.... It's marked FRAGILE.... so I shouldn't shake the package too much should I...?
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I'd say anything girly goes on girly day at Ojai... I couldn't resist - hope you like it!
