2014 Advent Package Train ~Start Opening Dec 1~

I have no idea who my buddy is. So far the presents look awesome though! No dollar store items from me either!

You are all so organized! I haven't even started shopping yet!

I've been super busy with planning and organizing a 50th anniversary party for my in-laws which is tomorrow (thank goodness!!!) I've done the photo collage and most of the food planning - my control freak sister in law keeps saying "whatever you think" and then tells me how she thinks it should be done....gah I hate that!!!!

I also have a school project that is due on Tuesday and isn't started yet - I feel like I should add procrastination to my skills and attributes on my resume ha ha!

I am at a craft show on Sunday with my dog cookie business so maybe I will find some awesome gifts there. If not, Monday before school it is!

When do we have to make our guess by?

16th since we said ppl could mail on 17th (and ppl often give it away when they say how far it is travelling)

You're the boss :) No preference here.

Oooh I have no idea who my buddy is...I will have to do some investigating. I''ll be MIA fir most of the weekend as I'm on a little girls.trip in Kingston. I will do my best to answer the additional questions as soon as possible!:)

I am going to start boarding on the official Xmas train next week, if anyone wants to cohost - let me know
It is a bit more work than usual package trains because we let people with lower trade ratings join if they have been an SCer for a while so you have to keep an eye on people to make sure they are active etc

My box, while it fits everything unwrapped, is not going to cut it when stuff is wrapped and takes more space but he took all of my boxes out for recycling the other day (he even took the cats' "house" box, they may never forgive him LOL). Not sure why he felt the need to chuck it, yes its big, but it is in my office - not like he has to see it etc

My other issue, why did I buy items that are weird shapes. I should only ever buy things in boxes because they look prettier wrapped. So do I get little boxes to put them in etc...

Just a bath pillow :)

And no in my opinion- boxes are not needed.
