Great gifts so far everyone!
I hope my SS likes what I got them. I'm going to mail it this week.

At least the posts in this thread help me know who is NOT my SS!

It wouldn't surprise me to come home to an opened box tonight - Cosmo is truly a demon kitty - he is so darned cute though, I can't resist his shenanigans!
Now watch, I will come home and find out that Sweet Sophie has been chewing on the box...how will I know? She has a sensitive tummy and always "urps" up whatever she eats!

Is that the blanket that the amber is sitting on? It looks like a blanket that I have in red. If it is the same type, oh there is just nothing like it! I LOVE that blanket to pieces!!!

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!
Congrats on getting yours!! Can't wait to see what you get, we may need to bribe Cosmo! Cosmo, who wants some catnip? Go open mommas pressent! Go get it! I'll give you some catnip!

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...
Very nice!!
So cool! So do you know who your SS is?

Yup, that's the blanket. I actually had to put a book under it to keep the amber from sinking into it. I took a nap with it yesterday and not only is it super soft it's also super warm.

As a matter of fact I do and I've already thanked her but I want to keep others guessing so I'm not divulging.

Where did those SS gift-ers find the sparkly balls? I learned (from the Michigan Meet-up) that Maggie L-O-V-E-S those things!!! I can't find them at any store here in town! I, of course, hate them because there's little sparkly fibers all over my house and I'm constantly having to vacuum (even more often than usual for three long haired cats) to get them up!!!

If you have a Walmart near you, go to the craft isle & you can get a whole bag of them for a few bucks and they last a long time (well as long as you can find them after they have hidden them under every piece of furniture in your house)

They sell those sparkly pom balls in packs of about 20+ at Walmart in the arts & crafts section. That's where i always buy mine for Jasmine

Sorry about hijacking, but that is great news! Sophie loves
those balls and I usually pay 4 or 5 dollars for just a few - and they disappear immediately after she gets them. Back on track - SS giftee, if you find "pom balls" in your present, it might be from me! Gotta run, I'm heading to Walmart!

Oooooo...I'm so happy to know about the "porn" balls at Walmart, too. Forest just LOOOOVES white sparkly balls, but it's really hard to find white ones, and they usually have a bunch of other colors in the package (which, for some reason, he doesn't like
).

OK...back to the SS stuff. Great gifts, everyone!

I KNOW that we have a typo here, but when I read this I just cracked up....'nuff said!

FYI...I will not cross over to the dark side
so don't you be sending me trick messages telling me that "it's okay to open the present early...I am wise to these tricks,
and will not fall for them!

I won't be sending out my gift for at least another week! Sorry SS, you'll be waiting a bit longer

Poor little Cosmo, Sophie and Mollie...
They could be having so much fun (maybe) seeing if they got anything.
