Happy New Year EDAs

Sandy was my Secret Santa this year,  :sandy: we loved the Banana bread,  :wub: it was gone before I could get a picture to post.
My son wants the receipt, loved the chocolate chips in the loaf.  :thumbup:
The shortbread cookies were excellent of course, one of my favorites always. ;)

Sandy I was not able to get to any of the Homemade Christmas shows, disappointed,  :lolsad: so no souvenir. Thank you so much for the cup coozy with the Show logo, it caught my eye in the early press releases for the show. Will be special to me.  :angel:

Yay! I'm happy you liked everything, John! I'll post the recipe in a bit. I think most EDA's have had my banana bread at this point. The amount of frozen bananas I have in my freezer is a little insane. Haha

Happy new year!

Thanks again, Tracy!

FYI - I don't save addresses year to year, so make sure you PM me your preferred shipping address to participate. :)

It is super fun!!

It goes like this:

1. PM me your preferred mailing address to receive your own package.  It doesn't have to be your home address, but if you use a company address, make sure to include the "c/o" line in the address so it doesn't get turned away.

Format:
Name Surname
c/o Company Name (if applicable)
123 Fake St, Apt #00
Fake Town, AZ 85555
USA

This address will be sent to your "Santa" but you won't know who that is until you receive your package.  Don't worry about creepers - I always at least know of everyone who's participating.  This is a pretty small fan community!

2. On November 21st, I'll PM you someone's address.  This will be your "Santee" and they will not know you're sending them a gift until they get it. Gifts are usually around $20 - $30 - not huge, but it's nice to add a little card and maybe some cookies or candies.  You know, like a little care package.

3. Try your best to get the package to the post office in time for Christmas arrival.  USPS shipping takes about  7 - 10 working days to get to their destination if shipped standard within the USA/Canada.  Overseas shipping can add a week to that.  If you don't want to ship overseas, just let me know and I'll make sure you get a domestic recipient.

It's super easy and super fun! Please let me know if you have any questions.

I'm going to pass this year Jess. Canada Post is doing rotating strikes so who knows when it will get mailed.  I also remember last year having issues with what I was trying to send to the US.

Hope you all get something great!  :wub:

 :santa:  My gift package might get to my person a bit after Christmas if it doesn't get there today.

Hello EDAs, Happy New Year.

Jess was wanting to check with you about the secret santa this year, I haven't received any thing yet and was wondering if you had any info. I left day after Jewel's WWT and returned in early January, but nothing from post office and nothing left at my apartment complex office so evidently nothing came. I've never seen EDAs not respond, if they had a problem a card would be appreciated. A gift is not important but the community friendships are.  :confused: :grandpa:

Your Santa is checking with the USPS to see where it is and will get back with me when they have that info.  Thanks for the heads up!
