Well, at least that's something. And then you'll have all these little pressies lying around - so much easier to sneak a couple away from DH's prying eyes and open them!!! Go on! OPEN SOME!!

Well... you're more than welcome to tell him EVERYTHING is wrapped up... but I think there are one or two things that were too odd to wrap... If I remember there are only 2 things that are not wrapped up and one is for the kitty and one for you. DH could benefit from the outer package being opened too.


Maybe that statement will help him change his mind!

I just wanted to write a quick note to my SS that the package arrived today and I LOVE everything that is in it!!! I know your RL name but I don't have time at the moment to research your username here on TCS but I will find time eventually.... unless you just want to tell me who you are!


I will most more at length later and tell folks things I recieved. Bradley is going to be waking up soon for his diaper change and a feeding and DH and I still haven't had dinner (8pm here).

But THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Ok... I got DH to let me open it!
I opened it yesterday but didn't get a chance to post as I then got to spend over 5 hours in the hospital with my sister! (much fun!) After I get home tonight I will post pictures but I can tell you what I got!


Kitters got four pompom balls yarn-like, (those were a super hit!) 5 different colored mouses, and three jingle plastic balls!!! I got a really cool Sudoku book that is easy which makes it so fun for me, cuz I'm just learning it! I spent a few hours with that while with my sister so it came in real handy! I also got Yankee Candle tea lights in Cinnamon!
I got a folding mirror made in Korea with a Korean scene on the front. It's very cute! I also got a super cute green cat ornament. It's really neat looking, you'll have to see the pics to appreciate it! I also got two kinds of chocolate. I did try the German dark chocolate kind last night and I can't wait to try the other one, it's a chocolate, with a dark chocolate, filled with a ganosh!


Thanks again so much Beth!!! I loved it
and so did Kitters!!! You are super!


Jill

I still haven't opened mine!!
It did help that I left it home over the holidays.

Maybe tonight.....


There is also the guilt factor. I haven't sent my gift out yet. I don't want it to arrive too early.

You still have time to come to the Dark Side.

Watching the robins sing!
Last night when I got home there was a B-I-G box sitting on my porch.....from my Secret Santa!!!!!! It is marked all over with Do Not Open Until Christmas......and since that is what I like to do (wait for Chrsitmas) I won't!
UNLESS there is a reason that I shoud!

I will try to get a photo taken of the present as it sits by my tree - and probably Cosmo will be perched on top of it!
Thank you Secret Santa -is was so nice to come home to my first Christmas present!:

Dang - your SS sure is a spoil sport, Ellen.

Cosmo? Will you open it? Pretty please? There may be kitty toys and goodies in that big box.

So, I wasn't feeling well last night... and even worse this morning. I decided to come home after work at 10:30 instead of going to class. So, I get home and theres a UPS notice on the ground... from Nov. 15th! It got me thinking **I wonder what would happen if someones SS package never got delivered** I go inside say hellow to the kitties and have some lunch. I was just registering for my spring classes when theres a knock at the door... it's the mail lady with a box for me! Oh ya, I already said I was on the dark side didn't I?! As soon as I bring it in Frankie is awake and interested... she had been napping on the ottoman.

While she inspected the package I got the camera and scissors...


I moved the box onto the ottoman and Wickett came to check it out but became bored quickly...


Frankie insisted on staying. Everything was so nicely wrapped...


Frankie had to check out each layer


Here's what I found inside....


The sparkle balls got Wickett's attention!


Mommy, will you play with me?


I'm gonna put the rest of these away for safe keeping...


I put all of them but one up for now and he's still bringing it to me for fetch!

For me there was a fabolous blanket! It's so soft I can't even describe it... luxurious is the closest I can think of... it's like petting clouds! I can't wait to finish posting this so I can curl up for a nap with it. My SS even said if it hadn't been so warm in TN I might not have a blanket and I wouldn't have blamed her... it's delightful!


And tucked inside all this fluffy wonderfulness is a blue box. Inside is a beautiful and big amber stone.


I tried to get a picture on the blanket and with the flash this is what happened... I think it looks pretty cool.


And to give you an idea of just how big it is (about the size of my fist) Frankie posed with it for me... sort of...
