Good morning everyone! This is not a very compliant Sunday Sevens, as I only have one photograph. You can read all about Sunday Sevens (and how to do it properly) by checking out the blog Threads and Bobbins, by Natalie, who started it all. You might even want to join in!
This week there are no holiday decorations, no pretty skies, no cats, no dogs, nada. My week, while quite busy and productive, has not been documented by a single photograph! (I considered posting a rant about the pink-sweater woman in Macy’s who had been standing at the wrong side of the counter, paying no attention to the line. When the clerk showed her the line, she popped herself right into the middle of it. You guessed it, directly in front of my mom [in her walker] and me. Apparently, she believed her special line began and ended with her. I hope her day got better, and there were a great many happy, wonderful shoppers who cheerfully expressed their holiday spirit.) But I digress.
Without further ado, here is my one photograph. I had asked my husband to send me a picture when a certain package arrived. Mind, he is not an enthusiastic photographer and has no editing proclivity, so this is what I received from him. Shopping bags on the floor, magazines on the table, and my package! There is no return address showing (where oh where did this come from? and from whom? is there a name somewhere? anywhere? I have to wait to open it till I get home on Dec 28!!).
You’ll also notice #stitchingsanta prominently written on the side.
And that’s when it hit me….I had neglected to label my package as such. I’m sure my partner recognized my name in the return address, and realized the package was from her Santa and that her Santa was me even before she opened it!
So Happy Holidays everyone, I hope all you happy santas properly labeled your packages, and that you can open your own on Christmas Day!
It would drive me nuts having to wait extra days to open it! It’s all getting too exciting seeing these parcels! 😀

Yes, all the packages snippets are so intriguing aren’t they? All so different and so lovely!

Not only did I fail on that instruction but on one far more fundamental. More on that next week
Some weeks just aren’t good for pictures. Have a Happy Christmas.

Well the one you did have was a good one 🙂 You’ll have to employ a lot of patience to wait until the 28th! Hope it’s fab once you get there 🙂

Thank you! You can guess I had to a fair amount of cropping. You may also guess that patience is not my strong suit…I’m so looking forward to being home again. And I’m sure my parcel will be just wonderful. Merry Christmas!

I was a bit scared to put anything on the packaging that might identify it as a gift just in case anybody at the Post Office was tempted by a few hand sewn treats and a fat quarter 😉

Haha! If the postman reads your blog, the temptation would most surely be there!
But that’s a good point; there have been many reports of packages being lifted from front porches around here. Saw video of a man actually taking boxes out of a mail truck while the mailman was at the door! Can you imagine?

I’m just amazed at how much fun this is, a virtual meet-up, if you will, to share these special surprise parcels. Glad you’ve received yours (and got your recipient all sorted out). We’re almost there now!

I can’t comment on the number of photos – I rarely post just seven! It has been fun seeing all the parcels come together, but I have to admit to being nervous in case somebody doesn’t get a parcel:(

Haha – I love how many you pics you post! I can imagine how relieved you’ll be when they are all accounted for. Will be checking in as soon as possible to see the results; I’m afraid my own post will be bringing up the rear 😉
