I think I know who my SS is, but I'm waiting from confirmation from her, so I will let you know once I do.

However, I did get a picture of all my wonderful presents for you! I was thrilled when I opened the box
she really outdid herself and got things that I absolutely LOVE!

From left to right, back to front (sorta, lol)

A gorgeous ceramic kitty mug! 2008 black cat calendar which I love! a bag of cocoa (yum!), foam toy balls for Riley and some pounce treats (which he has already tasted and approved of!), plastic springy toys which Riley had a blast with last night! He has already "lost" a couple of them under the furniture. We have wood floors so he has a ball with things like that. Catnip mousies which have already been taste tested as well


The little gold box are chocolate truffles! YUM! I have already eaten 3 of them
The book is "Cat Confidential" which I can't wait to read. I read every day over lunch and it looks like a great book


Next to that is a hilarious little reindeer candy dispenser, which dispenses cola flavored jelly beans out his rear
Finally, a cute little snowman jingle bell ornament with my name on it and a refrigerator magnet with a nice quote on it




It really cheered me up to receive these thoughtful, wonderful gifts. In a couple days is the 1 year anniversary of my Alley crossing the bridge and I have been pretty down and on the verge of tears all week, but this really made me smile so Thank You _______ ! So very much!

O-H-I-O!
What gorgeous gifts!



I am still deciding whether to add more things to my recipient's gift box. I have to make one more run and it will be sent probably the beginning of next week

Thanks for posting about shipping slowing down, I've sent mine out and have been wondering.


I'm worse today, I actually called out sick. I have a bad cold and feel like I'm underwater: ears full, sneezing, coughing. No one at work needs me around them, I feel like typhoid Mary. I need to be well by Saturday, I'm going to see the Nutcracker at Lincoln Center.


I already know the identity of my SS and I gave you guys a hint already. You must be on sugar overload already, you're not as quick at you should be.

What wonderful gifts, everyone!


Eva - I love how your cats are so helpful.
It's fun for the whole family to unwrap the pressies.

I have never taken part in the SS exchange before, and I have to say I'm very glad I did this year. It's been lots of fun

Hey eyeryone I recived my SS package late last week but unfortunately my computer seems to have given up on me for a bit so I had to take the pictures to work and load them onto the computer, but I didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have the software to resize them so here is my photo summary of gifts. Please forgive the poor picture quality one some of them it was dark and the flash kept going off even if I didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want it to.

Here is my clue!

Your very welcome Sibohan! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
I also got to meet a new friend in the process.
