Our local VW dealer still had some in stock - they were virtually impossible to find on line though.

Your right! I checked eBay and I don't see any there.
I'll check my stealer. Thanks!

Might not be the Postal Service. It could very well be customs.

Nope, not yet, but last year our postman goofed and put Brandy's gift in the wrong box. She finally got it in May. Good thing it wasn't edible. I'll check at condo this weekend and watch the mailbox here tomorrow.

I'll get some pics up!

[Tommy]

Good news, the package arrived today

Larissa, you are the coolest!
I just love my gift!

Did you make that yourself? It's awesome
Oh yeah, Larissa gave me magnets with the picture of my bug Chili. They look really good! I already gave them a place on my magnet board in the kitchen

And also I got a very nice christmas ornament in water (don't know how to call in in english) with my name on it. Just great!

Thanks alot Larissa, and a Happy New Year to you !

Crappy iPhone pic

[digitalputty]

WOOT! I am so happy that it arrived! I was really starting to get worried.

My mom and I made the magnets. Glad you like them!
The ornament with the water is called a 'snow globe'. :P

[DannyRandomState]

So I got mine before Christmas and didn't open it until Christmas day. Sorry for the delay of getting the pics up.

They are great! So sock monkey has another sibling. The family is slowly growing!

And the devil monkey is awesome too! We hung them up, and they will probably accompany us on the next big road trip.

The little ones are from Shonnel! Oh oh! And I need to get a pic of the flesh eating disease I got too!

THANK YOU Casey!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rock! They put a smile on me face when I opened up to see what it was. And I had no idea until I opened it as to whom it was from. The card sent from Santa Ana left me stumped just as well too! Great job on the gifts! And thank you again!

[mybugrocks]

awww I am so glad you liked them haha Shonnel apparently had the same idea as me , so how'd you guess it was me?? I told Amy to give you a hint that only a few would understand and the name on the package well I thought it was clever hehe

oh and I sent the card from my house so I didn't know it was sent from Santa Ana

The receipt had your name on it! I was asked by a couple of people about my shoe size? But I figured since it had 3-5 trucks on the address label it had to be someone from the roswell group!

yeah the card was post marked from Santa Ana. So I was racking my brain as to whom lived there?

But thanks again! You Rock

[Mazzzja]

Again, an orger is rocking like there's no tomorrow
Thank you Secret Santa!
Photos are taken and will be uploaded hopefully tonight.

It's fun though, that with this season's Secret Santa, there are matchings of people who have actually met!

Well DARNIT!!!! I thought the receipt wouldn't have my name since I put a note, oh well, I tried you are most welcome, I am SOOOO glad you like them

Oh about the shoes, I found sock monkey slippers so I was going to get those but your feet are too big so I went with plan B

Yea Marcia, that's one of the awesome things about this year

[Mazzzja]

Tonight when I came home from work I saw a note in the mailbox from the postal service that a package was delivered at my neighbours.

When I rang their doorbell they were actually having dinner, oops
The man handed me a huge box!

Because it was already quite dark out the photos didn't turn out that well...

First of all I noticed cute NB's all around the box




That's some pretty cool artwork huh?

This is what I saw when taking away some paper to fill up the box


Has it shifted much during its journey?

Danny (and presumable Lillie as well) has gone over the top! Thank you sooooo much!

This is what was in the box:

• Glass watering spheres (perhaps now I can keep my plants alive? I am known to have killed a cactus you know?)
• Two New Beetles hotwheels, one is actually blue! They're my first hotweels. Do I keep them in the package or can I take them out
• Collectors item postcards. Haven't opened them also, I'm afraid to spoil something
• An extremely cool decal "The BeeTles". I'm thinking of where to paste it.
• Last but not least, a DVD of the Roswell GTG of 2009!

[DannyRandomState]

YAY!!!

I'm soooo glad you finally got it! I was starting to worry that it wouldn't make it.

Hope you enjoy everything!

Merry Christmas Marcia!

I sure will!
Merry Christmas to you to Danny!

[buckbeetle]

I would love to have one of those coffee mugs. Anyone know where to get them?

[CaptainXeroid]

Well...unless the postman used the wrong box again, looks like whoever had my name was unable come though. Maybe it'll work out better later this year.

I'm sorry, G! I talked to your person a while ago after you wrote me and they assured me they would be sending you something. It's weird because this is definitely not like this person to do something like this. I'll see what the deal is.
