A package arrived on my doorstep today! My project is moving along nicely and should be done on schedule if all goes as planned.

it's a might larger and heavier than what I sent out today, so I may spend the next short while dealing with inadequacy issues regarding my gift giving prowess, but hopefully that will pass................
Size matters not.

Oh crap. Wrong universe...err, Galaxy?

I'm sure your recipient will appreciate whatever you sent.

Working hard on mine. Alas it will not be done in time to ship this weekend. :( But it's moving along nicely. I just hope the recipient will still appreciate it when it does arrive. It will be there before Christmas at this rate though. Just not the Yule dates.

I received my package as well, though I won't be able to open it until Christmas proper, because I provided the address for where I will be spending the holiday weekend.

I hope the item I made will find its home before the 21st. Pretty anxious. :|

Literally working on mine right now. I'm hoping to get it in the mail Monday. Otherwise I will be notifying my recipient that it is coming, but will be too late.

Ditto. Bit off a bit more than I could chew, but it's been a learning process. Maybe in the mail by Saturday; if not, Monday.

As of right now, we're at 78% declared shipped, 50% declared received, and 100% at "Almost there" or better. Great numbers, and so good to see everyone on board! Looking forward to watching this thread explode mid-week!

Sent! Should be there by Yule, but the best laid plans.... Happy to have it out into the world. I've enjoyed this immensely, even through the mounting panic. Cheers, all!
