John...I got the information today.

 

Looking forward to going model hunting for my gift recipient!!

Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player. Life will always throw you curves, just keep fouling them off... the right pitch will come, but when it does, be prepared to run the bases.

OK-

Glad to report that all emails have been sent except for one. (I'm PM'ing that person today- still need info.)

Please email me or post here when you receive the info on your recipient. I want to make sure no one gets left out!

Thanks so much to all who are involved. I hope everyone has a great time in giving- that is really the focus of the fun.

Yup, got mine, Cap'n. How do we let our Santas know what kits we like? Is it going to be like a scavenger hunt to see what they are interested in? lol

If you check back in some earlier post, that had been discussed. Basically, if someone had particular concerns about racial, religious, ethnic, or other practical concerns, they reported that to me. Otherwise- it's up to the Santa to pick, which really makes it a surprise for the recipient.

Unless I passed along specific notes for your recipient, it's up to you.

What we'd figured was it's not much of a surprise if you know what you'll get. Plus- I think it'll be neat for the giver to really put some thought into why a particular kit is special or fun, etc.

It's all about the giving!

Thanks for checking!

OK- All have been sent out now.

Keep in mind, just to add to the fun please don't revela who you sent to, or who sends to you, until the 25th of December. If you have not already confirmed receipt of who your recipient is, please IM, email, or post here. And if participating is going to present a hardship- please let me know!

Thanks to all!

No, no. It's not that I'm getting rid of mine, It's I don't want another. And one I have to build quickly!. Yes, six months is a decient time, but not for me on a kit like that. It took a year for me to build my monogram A-10, so that would take longer for sure.

But I take you are asking your Santa for one. I can arrange thatMischief [:-,]

I for one am really excited for this GB. I've been thinking all week about what I want to include in my "Santa-ee's" package. I pretty much know what kit I'm getting for him, so I think I'm going to make an "All about me" type deal. What about you guys? What else is going to your "Santa-ee"?
