"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
My box will go out tomorrow - I don't think I've got anything from the Endworld Pole just yet.
No hurry.......it IS only November.

I got 1 of the items for my person today, another that will be coming from Betts so possibly/probably late and a strong lead on the main item once the seller gets their next copies in. I think it'll be a good mix!

My order from Betts arrived over the weekend. Kudos to David to charging my card, and getting the package out so quickly, while dealing with a few hundred other orders. At any rate, this means that I have all my items for my Secret Santa recipient, and will be sending it out either in the next couple days, or early next week at the latest.
When is the gifts supposed to arrive and forgive me if we talked about this guys!!!
HELP ME FIND

Since I am pathetically slow and busy with four kids, I just placed an order for thing one for my recipient. Thing two is being made and am thinking of box stuffers to round it out. I should have this out by the second week of December. :-)
I hope my recipient isn't shopping at this time. Cause I did spying and found something they were looking for. :-/
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Acquisition is complete. The main item has been found and is on the way to my cell before it heads out again! I'm excited about this one!
Reindeers have now collected my box and is on its way to *#%>•?

My Secret Santa gift arrived yesterday! As tempted as I was to open it right away, I had to practically hide the package in my closet, so that I wouldn't be tempted.
Any day after Thanksgiving is A-OK in my book!!!
Geez!!! Here we have this perfectly good thread, warm holiday cheer. abundant anticipation for thoughtful gift pics and the "Limey" is the only one who posts some photo's that everyone can enjoy!!!!
Good man, Simon!!! Even though you thought the package contained information regarding "Ze German's"!!!! You just never know for sure what's on those "Nazi Bastard's" minds!!! LOL J/K LOL

I do think starting the day after Thanksgiving is cool unless the sender has requested otherwise.
I believe I received my gift today. An unexpected package with DT.org noted on the box. I am waiting to open because it is still Nov!
On a side note it showed up postage due. The postman was surprised it made it this far with no postage. We both agreed that it must have had postage at some point and it just fell off during its travels. I am a good sport and think it funny. So Santa; don’t worry I have you covered

I'm thoroughly enjoying the Secret Santa process. I have made a few phone calls to inquire as to my recipients interests. Not only have I had the pleasure of conversing with several dt.org members and getting to know them better, I'm learning more about my person as well. I plan on shipping after the Thanksgiving break. Planning on remaining anonymous, but excited to read of their reaction. Hope all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Yay! I can only assume that the top one is my Secret Santa gift because I did not order anything from the UK recently. I think I'll open it this weekend. Anticipation is killing me!
The contents of the other box will be proudly displayed in my collection thread and the P&J thread in a minute...
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's gifts. And I'm pretty sure I'm going to be jealous when I see what's in the other box.
