Ok, my Secret Santa gift was mailed out today and should arrive Monday. It's wrapped :) . My recipient will know who I am because I put my return address on the package.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Well I hope my SS gift gets where it's supposed to go - my Husband left the tracking receipt in the library book he returned (along with 2 international stamps) - I hope the receipient will enjoy using my stamps :lol:

Guess that makes it kind of a dual SS thing.
