Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
I dropped mine today, but I forgot to include a note telling my santee how delighted I was that I was their seekrit santa. Remind me to do so later in the week when it is actually delivered.
edit to note I shipped part 2 today, part 1 was sent directly and should be rec'd momentarily
I'm just a little, well, primitive, about the mail. Sometimes it feels like the stuff could end up in Pylea as easily as my house. Even though, in actual fact, I've only had a few items get lost. I think it just blows my mind to think about the planes and trucks and all the people's hands... I can be such a *simple* person.
Wheee!!!! I got a package today from my sekrit santa! It came from Texas and I only know a couple Buffistae from TX, so I think I know who it is. Thank you! I got a really funny T-shirt that has semophore flags on it and then under it says "Keep clear of me, I am maneuvering with difficulty." Heh, that I do when I'm sailing, I'm just a duffer. I can't wait to wear it the next time I go sailing with my dad. Again, thank you so much!
Warning: As is only appropriate for a Sooper Duper Slacker Secret Santa, my present for my giftee will not be bought until after Christmas, much less shipped. Though I will definitely try to get it out before New Year's.
Thank you thank you for my lovely gifts!
I don't know your board name -- but I loved everything. The card was gorgeous! Did you make the dragon?
The soap and the hand cream -- both useful and pretty.
You know candy is welcome even in the plainest of containers but a beautiful red Vietnamese box is the PERFECT container.
Thank you!
Did you make the dragon
No, it's a premade design by one of my favorite scrapbook supplies companies. But I had fun finding the right "Serenity" symbols to make a stencil with. I wanted a Firefly themed package for you since I see you in that thread more than others. I'm glad you liked it. And that box, it almost stayed home with me, hee. I saw it months ago and as soon as I knew who my giftee was, I knew exactly what to get.
Daniel C. Jensen just gave me a nice link to a songfile I've been craving, because iTunes is all snooty and won't talk to my Win98 system! He's a sweetie!
Well, thank you!
I couldn't blame you if you had kept that box -- it's gorgeous!!
Hmmm, so the Chinese characters are actually Chinese? Therefore my kanji dictionary would do me no good.
I will, therefore, not even attempt to a. find it and b. count the strokes on the characters to figure out where they might be in the dictionary.
Just in case--I am leaving here on the 23rd, and I won't be back until the 2nd. So just FYI, Santa.
(Mine just went into the mail this morning. Phew! Should be there pre-Christmas.)
I misremember the sight I found them at. I just remember finding a discussion about how the symbols used on the show weren't quite right for the meaning they were looking for. And that the correct ones were the ones I blew up to make the stencil. Or, something like that. I don't even know if they are Kanji or not, so I'm no help there.
