Jan F, I did see the post on FB!

I'm really not too worried about the shipment from M*. Nothing in there needs to assembled before gifting, so as long as it arrives by 12/24, I'm in good shape.
Hancocks & Connecting Threads are low on my list of shippers, especially for their performance in customer communication. No problem letting me know you charged my card! Maybe you could let me know you had a deluge of orders and I am still on the list to be helped with my order.
