Posting photos:
Alternatively: Upload your image to somewhere on the internet (a list can be found in the wiki here, and I also can recommend imgur). Once the image is uploaded, right click on the image (control-click or click with two fingers for those of you with macs), click on "copy image URL". Then in your post in this thread, paste the image URL that you previously copied between two image tags, so the result looks like:[img]your URL here[/img]
There is no "gifts sent" part this time around-PM your sent gifts to wharvey! (though feel free to post it in the thread)

I do anticipate additional trips to Mom and Pop's! I ♥ Farmer Cheese pierogies. Probably--at the time, we had to venture across the Mason Dixon line on a regular basis.

Did some of my shopping this weekend. But, I usually like to add something local or unique. So, I'm just waiting for some of the Holiday fair's, which tend to happen after Thanksgiving. I have a pretty good idea of what to get two of my recipients. But, I'm a bit stummped on the last one. Just waiting for something to give me inspiration.

Santa Update:
I just finished distributing the final Secret Santa assignments.
I waited until today because there were several people who had not completed the registration properly and I decided to allow some time to get resubmissions. Unfortunately, I did not receive any responses. As such, assignments went out today with what I had available. Note: Not everyone got the number of assignments they requested. If you believe you were shorted, confirm the number in post #2 and let me know if there is a difference.

Two out of three mailed out today! Used lots of packing tape and cushioning to ensure a safe arrival. Also wrapped items inside delivery box in case anxious fingers need a second chance to wait until Christmas to open. PMed all details to wharvey.
Still waiting for items for giftee #3 to arrive.

Thank you very much. The package arrived at the office today and I was pleasantly surprised. We do get packages but usually for the company so when my co-worker came in and said that I had a personal delivery it put a big smile on my face for the rest of the day. I will get pictures up soon.

Ok, just posted my two secret santa gifts in the mail. I am blown away by how quick some of you were able to finish your shopping and get shipping!! It definitely inspired me to get my gifts together as I have to sent globally, which hopefully doesn't take a whole month!!

The Elves and I are taking off for Thanksgiving. Since some of you are giving gift cards, this allows time off to be with our families. Nothing wrong with a gift card if it makes the giftee happy (even though it may take the joy out of shopping for you). 
Here's the best advice from me to you. Don't eat all that food on Thursday.
Travel safe. Enjoy the holiday!
