That is absolutely beautiful!!

Hope my SS recipient can wait until at least the first of December, that is when I plan on mailing mine to him/her!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got mine!!!!!!!!! I know who it's from by the name on the package but DH won't let me open it.
He said "IT'S NOT EVEN THANKSGIVING YET!" But... sooo... so he has taken it from me. I see it but not allowed to have it.
I'll get him to give it to me soon hopefully!...

So.. Thanks You Beth!! (Ali012281) And congrats on the baby again too!!

Oh... and I would like to point out... this post followed by my post!!! Yay!! I got it right in advance! I knew it would have to work if I did it to everyone!


So.. I will let you guys know when I get to open it! Need to try and talk my DH into letting me have it! Talk some sense into him guys!!

Pami, I love the way you think!!
As soon as I walked in the door I noticed the package sitting on the table with other things over it. I picked it up and my DH asked why I was in the doorway so long and then he rushed out and took it from me and said that I wasn't supposed to see it yet! "phooey"
He's made sure he hid the customs slip from me but I saw the name. And...... I heard jingles in it!
I am assuming jinglies for Kitters.
I'm telling you, I'm gonna keal over in excitment.... I gonna somehow convince him to let me open it no later than Thanksgiving! SOMEHOW!!!

You need to have Kitters convince him that he is depriving her of her jinglies. Surely he can't resist her purrfect charms.

Exactly - knowing that she loves her daddy...

Please, Mr. SillyJilly - let her open her box...

I'll tell him as soon as I get home, though I'm not sure if that'll budge him! He's stubborn.

I told him that! He said we'll keep it cool! He's ruining all my schemes!

He won't show it to her! I told him to let her smell it then I know he would let her have it!

Does anyone remember the old Dick Van Dyke show when he sent a package home and Laura was told NOT to open it? She couldn't resist, and decided to open it to see what was inside, and then she was going to re-wrap it...well, it ended up being a HUGE inflatable raft that filled the entire living room...'nuff said on that subject!



I will be wrapping my "adult" presents this weekend - kitters presents haven't come yet, so, I am actually right on track - in the mail by 12/8 and fedex says it will be in HGL!ERID by Christmas!

Something like that would so happen to me... he'd catch me for sure!

Wow talk about CRUEL and UNUSUAL Punishment there Mr SillyJilly! Don't you know that women all over the world are now distracted by this....distracted to the point of forgetting our duties and obligations even!?! I don't know what else to say except that if my husband gets agitated with anyone over it, I'm tellin him to come after you!

point that out to him, ok?
[i feel safe in saying my SS is a her, because we all know that none of the guys joined in this year! i bought some more stuff yesterday & today, so just the baking to do. the show is in rehearsals all week this week, so probably the week after before everything is ready to ship!]

I know who my SS is already and she's not helping matters any! It's Beth (Ali012281), and she PM'd me back a couple times and said that if it makes my DH feel better that I can open the outer box cuz everything is individually wrapped on the inside anyways!!


Well, it's after Thanksgiving now and I'll see if I can't pressure my DH to let me open it now!
