Man, it seems my partner STILL hasn't recieved theirs. I bet its killing them not having gotten it. I can vouch that it went out the 29th of Nov. I didn't think it would take this long to get there!!!!

How much did you guys paid for shipping overseas, if you don't mind me asking. i just mailed mine out this morning and it cost me more than $30 USD to ship by airmail.
i didn't wanna lug the package all the way to NY and back so i just went ahead and mailed it. Oh well....hope my SS will like it.

I might have - and I might not have


I was pleased mine was not wrapped in Christmas paper, it might have been hard to wait untill Christmas, since it got here that early.
The gift from me is not in Christmas wrap either, so if anyone thinks they know its from me, dont open the box if you want to wait untill Christmas to see what´s inside

(But how on earth would anyone know, just by the box that´s it´s from me
)


Pollyanna!!!!! It was me all along! I'm your lucky recipient!!!
Yippee!

You don't know how exciting it is to receive a parcel from Iceland! It still mind boggling to think that I have something from so far away.

I could not resist. I opened the package and was extremely pleased (still smiling from ear to ear!)


The pillow is beautiful, and I love the fact that it's in your native language!
The two placements are also lovely!!
I love the angel ornament (I'm an ornament addict) and also
angels!
How did you know???

I can't wait to listen to the CD's!!! How cool is that?!

Thanks for taking the time to write such a nice letter and for including the post cards! I feel so honored!

I will cherish all of my gifts. Maybe I'll send you something from NH!

I will post a picture of my gifts at some point (my son has the camera).

Thanks again! and Merry Christmas!!!!

I know shipping charges depend on the size and weight. THAT must have been a large package!

I don't want to ruin the Secret part of this, but I sent mine almost a month ago and they said it would take 2 weeks!!!!
I am very tempted to tell you who you are......grrr....must stay quiet!!!


PLEASE get there!!!
I tried!!


mine was not really big or heavy and cost $25. to ship in 2 weeks. It was late to mid Nov. and I did not want to take chances on a 4-6 week delivery estimate for $13. AND IT STILL HAS NOT GOTTEN THERE!!!!!

mine went to England on the 21 of november and it cost about 20 dollars to send and little extra to have insurance. I know that they recieved it because their name was on the list of those that have recieved their SS.

I am sooooooooooooo glad this has arrived to you Laurie!
I was getting so worried that it wouln´t reach before Christmas. I went on the last day the post office sais it´s safe to sent parcels to the US, to be sure it arrives before Christmas, and I was late in the day, so it wouln´t have gone off untill the next day.
I was so late sending this off, because I had decited to make you those CDs, but my computer wasn´t working properly, so I couldn´t write any CDs untill it was allmost to late to send this off, and I realllly didn't want to skip the CDs.

Oh, and I also very glad you liked this!
