I mailed my SS gift last week and they said it would be several days. I can't wait to see when my SS gets it.

Waterloo? Well, if you can't find anyone from Waterloo, try Kitchener. They do call it Kitchener/Waterloo!Originally Posted by Jessy
Wow, great presents everyone!
Now, who was my secret santa? Who are you???????
Villy is still playing with her spider, she loves it!
Who are you, secret santa who lives in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada??
Is the card a clue?
It's at the back of the pic....
I received my SS gift today....and I think I have it figured out who it was!!!
It was a darling little Santa pin and book from Canada....and a yellow braided mouse which Saba promptly claimed for herself (being about the same size
, no doubt). SO! The little package was cleverly devoid of any return address, stamps which might give away the person's Province....but HO! HO! HO! I think I know. HO! HO! HO! I think I know..... there was a very small marking "RCHMD" - which is Richmond, B.C., so along with her "HO! HO! HO! note (she said that in her note) I believe it is MISS FRAN of Vancouver, B.C.
~Oh Fran.....~OH FRAAAAAAN....:bunny:..was it youuuuuuuuuu??

When I arrived home this evening, there was a parcel between the aluminum door and the inner one. It came from France. I think I know who my Secret Santa is and have sent her a PM. I got a wonderful haul, which for now I will have to describe, because for some reason I can't get a card reader to function!
A really cute Kitty Apron, a Kitty Wash Mitt, a set of 6 Kitty Coasters, a set of 6 Kitty Place Cards, 3 really cute Kitty Fridge magnets, 3 Kitty Pillow Ornaments, an Yves Montand CD, Cozy Knitted Slippers, Honey Candies, Eclats de Pommeau (chocolate!). The kitties got an assortment of coloured balls which they will have a ball chasing, I'm sure (haven't seen anyone yet, but they'll come out of hiding when I call dinner
) There was also a postcard "Les Chats" from France.
I'm delighted with everything! and can't wait to get pictures up. The ((*(*%*%*% computer isn't recognizing the card reader that it's been reading for two years. I tried Rob's -- same result. I switched cables, and tried his with my cable and mine with his cable -- same result. Same result on both front USB ports (haven't tried the back ones yet). BUT I did check the ports (well, one anyway) by doing a hotsync on my PDA -- that was fine. So now I'm going to shut down entirely and go make dinner. Maybe it's one of those weird situations where a reboot will cure the indigestion.
See y'all later.

Here's another thought for you, E. There is also a town of Richmond Hill in Ontario. In the Toronto area, if I'm not mistaken. We have a number of members in that part of the world, some of whom might be prepared to drive a few kilometres in order to throw you a red herring.
Computer had indigestion. A little rest set it right, and we now have pics.
First the outside of the parcel...
Then the first views upon opening...

Don't you love those coasters?
And may I just say, that the Eclats de Pommeau are divine -- we confined ourselves to 2 each, and will have two more such desserts
and Yves Montand is excellent company while I'm posting this stuff.
And unless I am much mistaken, the lovely person I am thanking is Jenny Ranson.
ETA: I have yet to actually see a cat playing with a ball, but they are certainly travelling around the house. 'Twas ever thus, with these creatures.

My gosh Fran looks like you made out great
Love those coasters there great, Everything looked wonderful. Great Job Jenny if it was you
I'm getting nervous.... I posted my SS gift more than 2 weeks ago and so far it looks like it hasn't be received at the other end...
Has anyone else been waiting this long for new of their gift?

I mailed mine Oct 30th, not there yet. I hope it gets there this week because now I am getting worried
Yes, Fran, I confess! I am so glad it arrived safely after more than two weeks on the way. I wanted to include some stuff from Bosnia as well as France, so I popped in a pair of traditional Bosnian slippersocks, that people wear there in the house. I tried to get magnets that reflected the right colours of your three, but alas, failed dismally on one at least. But I hope you all enjoy everything. My kits love those foam balls, as they can pick them up in their claws.
More brilliant gifts!
Everyone is doing so well!
Jenny, the slipper socks look great!! They are a very similar foot shape to the Greek slippers!
Maria, you should open your gift!! Your poor SS will want to know that you like what you received!

Gosh! That IS a long time. Did yours have far to travel? Mine had to go across one ocean and north a bit
I think a lot of people shipped surface mail as it is cheaper but can take up to 6-8 weeks to get to placesOriginally Posted by alexa

More great gifts for Eddie and Fran!
Love the coasters!
we should get a running list of who has received their gifts and who their Secret Santa was, I'm getting all confuzzled!
*Just a note*
I know some of you are not planning on opening your packages until Christmas. When you receive them, can you please post that you have, even if you don't open? This would put the sender's mind at ease, and Linda and I are also keeping track as packages are received, so it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
