I love surprises and I LOVE being surprised by the package at the door but recently the UPS AND mail person have both been leaving my packages at another house and when I don't catch it right away they TAKE the packages!
That's terrible! What the fuuuu-dge are they doing that for?
But I will let you know when it's en route, so that you can keep a look out for it.

Thank you
They're jerks that's why! As far as I know we haven't lost any packages to them YET but twice we have found our packages, opened, inside their unlocked porch. (They don't answer the door of course so we just walk in and take it.)

It's illegal in many countries to open, destroy, hide or delay post intended for someone else.
Next time it happens, go up to their porch and take a couple of pics of the parcel there and then report them

BMH, could we have a big post of gifts people receive like we did in the first year?
I loved that...

You know what's annoying? Making your gift only to run out of yarn. You know what's really annoying? Going to buy more yarn only to find out that 'there's a delay in shipment due to heatwaves in China', Something about dye rooms and toxic fumes, I didn't get the whole gist of it, but there won't be more of this particular yarn here in Oz until mid November. Anyway... annoying!

Seeing all these people send off gifts is getting me really excited to see what my swap person has in store for me.
I got behind on stitching due to being sick early last week, but the stitching part is all done. Now my most dreaded part, finishing. I hope they turn out as well as they look in my head.
