For packing...tissue paper. Lots of white tissue paper. Especially if you have a kitty like Karen's Abby, the cat(s) definitely appreciate this type of packing. White especially since Meowmy's don't have to worry about kitties chewing on it.

Ginger and Mojo enjoyed the white tissue paper packing from my SS Eddie last year!

I'm going to show my first attempt so no laughing and yes I do know that when my gifts arrive it's going to be a dead give away. If signing my Christmas Card From Max, Sampson, Vanna, Trouble, Simon, Tigger, Pooh, Mia, Mocha, Takoda and Magnum doesn't give me away nothing will!


Check out this work of art!
It's the love that counts right?
You do a awesome job

Just placed the order for the last stuff I need for my SS! It's from one of our esteemed Member's Marketplace sellers...but which one?
Now I just have to finish up my crafty thing, get the order, pick up one or two last minute things (chocolate maybe?), and bake cookies!
I thought i was almost done but now that sounds like a lot of work!

I've finished my handmade portion of the gift, got the kitty gifts, waiting for one more gift to come in the mail. Once that is here, I'll buy the chocolates and send the gifts. I really hope my SS likes everything. Question is: do I send the chocolates or eat them for energy while wrapping the gift?


(Though I know I can't match the wreath that Karen sent).

I packed everything in the box and sealed it up, so I wouldn't keep buying


Not sure when I am going to mail it though. Maybe right after thanksgiving?

I just finished all my shopping for my SS. Now all I have to do is make one more thing, then wrap everything and decide the best time to ship.

I haven't decided if I'm going to send chocolate or not as it is still fairly WARM here.

Don't start!
I am sure what you made is beautiful and will be greatly appreciated by the recipient.

You better send the chocolate. It could get ugly if you don't!

You should eat part of the chocolate and send some, I won't need it all myself!

You can send hard candy too! I like it all!

Aww poop!!! You guys sound like you are making wonderful packages! I've already gone over the budget and it seems i'm not nearly as creative or generous for my first SS *sobs*

I was not able to be as creative as I would like to have been this year, but I had fun and I think that my SS will like it. I did put a lot of thought into it and I think that is all that matters!

That's okay. I'm sure the post office is air conditioned.

I wonder how many PM's you've gotten? I'd send one but I prefer to be surprised!


I feel so ashamed!... I've had mine mostly ready for weeks and just haven't yet put the finishing touches on it. Of course, I might be glad I waited as I've just had another great idea tha won't cost me any more. I also want to "enhance" some of the cat toys.
Oh, I'm cracking myself up here...
