We're on a fairly abbreviated timeline this year, so I'd say if you haven't heard anything from your Santa and/or the person you're Santa-ing for by Friday - give 'em a PM.
Got my envelope in the mail yesterday, @Torchsong. Josie and the Pussycats look even better in person! Thanks for the excellent drawing and all the comics!
Bumping to remind everyone - if you haven't put your stuff out yet, might be a good idea to as the big day is fast approaching. And if you haven't heard ANYTHING yet from your person - send out a reminder.
And if you've received your stuff and opened it - how about sharing?!? :)
I got a good Beast sketch (good as in it is 100 times better than I could ever do) from Bill. I got the following: Three John Byrne She Hulk issues (awesome!) The Order tpb (heard some good stuff but never followed up on it), Batman Lil' Gotham #1 from Dustin Nguyen & Derek Fridolfs Mara #1 from Brian Wood & Ming Doyle The Hypernaturals issues (from D&A) Gladstone's School for World Conquerors tpb Ghostbusters Displaced Agression tpb from IDW followed up by a Batman toy.
Another great year of wonderful gifts made possible by @LibraryBoy .
Also thanks for the ringleader of putting this all together @Torchsong on our behalf.
@Greg I wonder how much did he like his CGS Secret Santa box of comics goodies.
I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas.

@mguy1977 - You have no idea man. Most of the ASM are issues I have not read yet. The Daredevil catches me up pretty well from when I had to drop it around issue 10. I have the trades with me at work. Thank you for such an awesome spread of books.

I'm glad you enjoyed the stack. Happy reading over the holidays Greg.
@ajcasperite 's package got here yesterday and i love my sketches!
DCBS shipment came at the same time so book wise I'm a little overloaded but I definitely saw some things I'm looking forward to checking out
I was not as good of a secret santa and @CaptShazam 's stuff just went out today, I'm going to blame Uncle Sal (cause I was lazy and really should blame myself) because I saw that he used sharpie's to color his sketches, and when you have to take a break from the fumes it slows the process down, anyway this thing is on the way in the mail to you (minus the sharpies)

Glad you like your stuff. I have to say I think my favorite is the middle one. they were fun to do. hope the comics are something you would be interested in.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and thanks Secret Santas!!
This looks like a lot of fun. No pussy skinny sharpies, the thicker nib kind rock your brain cells. Too long in a small room and your eyes start getting googly.

I (still) have no idea how to add pics on here. But I received my pack from @demonbear today a great Atomic Robo/Ghostbusters sketch. If demonbear has a pic feel free to add it here for me. Also received a load of great books that I'm looking forward to get into.
It's pretty easy. All you need do as far as I know is upload your pic to a place like imageshack, facebook, your blog, etc.. anywhere. You then go to that page/location url where your uploaded image is and either copy the info from the browser bar or (with mac-right click and scroll down to copy image location) Now when you want to post it in the CGS forum comment box you first click on the little picture icon in the the row of icons next to your avatar- a small window appears and in it it will say "enter image url" paste the info that you had copied into the line, press enter, click preview and the image should appear. If not, you missed some info or copied wrong location. Hope that helped.

Because EarthGBilly volunteered to be part of the international group, I sweetened the pot for him by throwing a sketch his way. He chose Firestorm.
And for my Santa giftee - here's Josie and the Pussycats!

At any rate, demonbear will (eventually) be recieving the sketch. He asked for Starlord or the Winter Soldier.
It is Christmas, so I thought, why not both?
=D> \m/ B-)

Love the coloring in this one.
Nice line work and tone.
Ahhh, the Pussycats. They still got it. I'd like to see some Cosplay of these three.

Again, thanks to @Torchsong for organising this.
