I am so excited! I hope my secret SCer love what I get them!!! I am going to have it in the mail by Monday for sure! I've always called myself the world's best gift giver, but it will be different buying for a complete stranger!!!
My secret SCer didn't put much in their likes and dislikes, I hope whoever got me doesn't think I'm nuts because I put lots of likes and dislikes in mine, lol!
How long does a package take to ship in the same province???
where your's is going less than a week, unless of course it gets stuck in Kichener or Miss. and then whan it's at your secret sc'ers door.
Moe what is the prize thing all about? Does anyone have each other? Can you say?

LOL, trying my luck at a prize! Are there any more secret prizes? Maybe for certain words like cinnamin hearts or that's amore? LOL.
The prize thing is my way to keep folks interested in the thread, checking in and seeing how things are going. Adds some interest while we wait for the gifts to come in. Each time the small prizes are for different things. Posting pics, telling stories, who made me laugh the hardest, answering questions I may ask, things like that.
And nope, not gonna tell who got who or if they r buying for one another, but there may be a couple of them out there.
That's such a great idea Moe :) I like the sounds of that!!!!!
Just keeps it interesting, and you never know what a prize might be for.
Okay folks, all names have been sent to there sc'er's. Have fun, buy lots and enjoy this gift exchange.
And one person to warn, look out Willy, the secret sc'er who got you is probably one of the most fun sc'ers out there, so be prepared.
going shopping over the weekend, you never know what you can find when you aren't looking for it *lol*

I'm just excited to get mail that's not bills, so this'll just sweeten the excitement ;)
Thanks Moe. I got out names, and thanks ;)
OMG, I've been sorting old pics & printing them off this morning.....just came across this one from my DS's first V-day (2006). He was 5 months old at the time - I remember this clear as day LOL I had went downstairs to swap the laundry over & hear him squawking upstairs & couldn't figure out what the problem was. I came back up to find my DD had been putting heart stickers all over his head to "dec-rate" him for "Balintine Day" - he was NOT impressed & I nearly dropped the camera trying to take his pic b/c I was laughing so hard at his expression :lolsign: Just thought I'd share, since it's such a great memory from V-Day that I can share with them once they're older & hate each other hahahahaha!!!
BF, you are the second prize winner, for the real pic and telling such a great story. Thanks, that was funny, Moe.
My package has been sent!!!! I just sent 2 packages (for 2 different exchanges) and now I'm broke!! Canada Post is behind this exchange, aren't they?!?!? LOL (at least they are lovin' us for it!)
BF Mama of 2... that is just the CUTEST pix!!! Cute story!
Was gonna go out shopping tonight, but it's still snowing :thumbs_down:
So I think I will go out tomorrow instead and see what I can find!!
ok so I am managing to send out more than I originally thought I could and I am soooooooooo excited!!! this is the hard part-keeping my mouth shut so it is a surprise for that person! lol
BFmama that is the most adorable expression! Thanks so much for sharing such a funny story and pic! it's priceless!

Hahahaha, thank you Dealsniffer ;) He still has that same expression when he's stressed about something! His mad face has come a LONG way tho.....if I find the pic after his first haircut I'll share.....I chased him all around the house trying to get a good picture & by the end he was PO'd and it shows :lolsign: My little red-headed firecracker!
I can't wait to get shopping, I think the snow is finally stopping.
Here are a few pics from last years v-day of some of the gifts I got. My fiance got me some cute little bears, which he knows I love (sorry for bad pic). He also gave me a rose and some cute cookies. He's away teaching right now so I am really hoping I will get to see him for this Valentine's day.

Ah man, and I was expecting a hoover upright. darn you cabmonk, spoil the fun.
When I was a kid I bought a vacuum cleaner for my mom for christmas, and she loved it since she needed one.Quote:

It felt more like Christmas.
JOKE OF THE DAY:
Jim asked his friend, Tony, whether he had bought his wife anything for Valentine's Day.
'Yes,' came the answer from Tony who was a bit of a chauvinist, 'I've bought her a belt and a bag.'
'That was very kind of you,' Jim added, 'I hope she appreciated the thought.'
Tony smiled as he replied, 'So do I, and hopefully the vacuum cleaner will work better now.'
LMAOOOOOO!!
Do skunks celebrate Valentine's Day?
Sure, they're very scent-imental!
oh boy.. I'm on a roll now! I must need sleep, cuz these are funny!! LOL LOL
If you say so,;):tongue:Quote:

Okay, I can't seem to upload photos onto messages :yikes: , so I'll post a story instead.
When I was in 5th grade, I had a HUGE crush on a boy named Frankie. (Many of the other girls in the class did as well.) Now Frankie didn't pay any attention to me, but my crush continued month after month anyway. :rolleyes: When Valentine's Day rolled around, we had decorated paper bags that were pinned to a bulletin board with our names on them that our classmates had deposited valentines into. Near the end of the school day, we had a Valentine's day party with some treats. Then, the teacher handed out our bags, and we each took them back to our seats and opened our valentines. I was going through mine, and opened one that had my name on it that was from...Frankie!!!! :love: I was so excited. I tore the envelope, and the card said, "You are as beautiful as a sunset". My mouth dropped open! For a moment, time stood still. :love7: Then, I opened the card to see what it said on the inside. It said...
"With your yellow teeth, your red face and your purple hair." :bawling:
That night, Frankie officially came off my "crush" list.
About two months later, our P.E. coach was putting us in teams of 2 to race each other across the length of the playground. He teamed me up with Frankie, who was the fastest sprinter in the class. In that moment, every ounce of unrequited love transformed into determination for me. :angry7: The coach shouted "Go!" and I flew across the playground, beating him by several lengths. Frankie was flabbergasted. I was elated. :excited:
Every Valentine's day, I think of Frankie's card, the playground race, and I chuckle. It ain't easy being a 5th grader when Valentine's Day rolls around!! :lolsign:
He bought a vacuum belt and bag. (Vacuums have a belt, kinda like a large elastic band, that moves the brush heads I believe). ;)Quote:
