went to Heaven, Pam sent me this beautiful picture that she had drawn of Bella. It is a great source of comfort for me and I will cherish this ALWAYS. The words underneath the picture are what I always said to my sweet Bella

And a close up!


Thank you Pam

I started crying when I saw that. That is beautiful.

I love the stockings your kits got, too! And of course the chocolate.

Cat toys, a celtic cross (I collect them) The cutest cat towl, a candle holder and candles, cat statues, Salmon kitty treats, a little book of Christmas poems and stories, and a picture frame with a clue in it.

Good haul! Those cat statues are awesome. I'd like to have a few for myself.

That's too cute! I wouldn't have been able to eat it, and that snowglobe is great!

Ok - had dinner and then had a blast with the presents.

Here we are unpacking the box. I have a hard time opening any box because Lucy sits on top of them. And you can tell from the pictures, she is also in the middle of everything. The first thing (a suede mouse) out of the box wasn't wrapped and was very popular.



Then we had the lovely wrapped gifts. One in particular really attracted Carly. She was really trying to open it herself. We even got Much involved.



Finally got everything unwrapped. A cute plate and spoon rest in the shape of cats. The box that Carly was obsessed with had catnip toys. Some cute note paper with our names on it, Some chocolates and a Boogie mat (Lucy really loved this and became a little possessive

).





After all was said and done, Lucy even enjoyed the wrapping paper.



My Secret Santa is Helen (Bella713). She also included a small laminated card with Bella's picture and the poem "And God asked the feline spirit are you ready to come home..."

Thank you so much Helen for the thought you so lovingly put into this gift. I also want to say that it warmed up a very chilly evening here. (right now it is 12F/-12C),

Jana and the girls

Beautiful gifts. I like seeing you in the picture too! Those Boogie mats are really nice. I had to buy one for each of my kits.

 

[bella713]

I swear Carly was going unwrap the one with the Catnip toys in it by herself. We ended up with 75 pictures of these guys and it was hard trying to decide which ones to share.

Those are great gifts!

The Boogie Mat looks awesome - I've never heard of them or seen them before!

 

[rapunzel47]

What a wonderful load of gifts -- several! wonderful loads of gifts!

And that lovely remembrance of Bella -- a beautiful girl, a beautiful spirit, beautifully captured.

 

[sillyjilly]

Wow, those were great gifts, the girls really seemed to enjoy themselves!!! The boogy mat looks like it was a hit!!

 

[clixpix]

Great gifts everyone!

Pam, that picture of Bella is absolutely beautiful

Catching up with this thread thismorning. The prezzies are all great and I wanted to add my awe at the picture of Bella. What talented and thoughtful people we have on TCS!

 

[sar]

Such wonderful gifts! Our SSs have really excelled themselves this year!

 

[lisasha3]

Well that's the last time I got to bed early.

I missed ALOT of action last night. (Guess now that all these presents are starting to pour in I'll have to start burning the midnight oil to keep up.

)
Awesome presents everyone!! I love them all. I wish I knew where to get some of these things. The cat statues, the cat plates, secrets cats have about humans? boogie mats??

Where do you guys get all this stuff? I wish I could decorate more in my home with cat items, but I can't find any around here. (Or maybe I'm just not looking in the right place)

 

[AbbysMom]

Wow Linda and Jana!!! Fantastic gifts! I love the pictures of the kitties playing with them!

When you make the long drive for dinner

, you'll have check around here. We have cat things and boogie mats. Try Petco or Petsmart for those. Sometimes the Christmas Tree Shop has cat statues, etc also.

Thank you to everyone for the lovely comments. I have received some PM's regarding the picture. I just wanted to carify, that I didnt draw that picture myself, I had it drawn. I wish I had that talent.

What thoughtful gifts everyone is receiving!

 

[crystal211]

Everyone's gifts are great!! I loooove that drawing, what an amazingly thoughtful gift.

My SS gift was shipped out the other day and is scheduled to arrive around December 1 - I need to go out to my truck and get the tracking numbers so I can see when she gets the boxes (lol, one of my gifts was way too big and I had to ship in two boxes). I'm soooo excited for her to get it!!
