It's OK Susie...all your SS needs to know is to ship lots of Brazil nuts and pickles...and maybe a gnome or two.

And if anyone needs these items, contact me. I can share what Susie sent me a couple of years ago.


Just kidding, Susie!

Ya know the difficulty of waiting too long to ship your SS gift? The pile of tidbits in that gift keep growing and growing and growing. Must stop now.

So here's a dumb question for you: when you ship a cat, how big do the breathing holes in the box need to be?
And if we receive a box that is wiggling, should we open it right away?

Hmm, holes should be a smidge smaller than the paws. Keeps the kitty from making the hole bigger while in transit.

And, yes, wiggling boxes - heck, any box! - should be opened ASAP!!!!

I admit, I have been very lazy
and haven't done any wrapping yet!

I have to work my 2nd job tonight, but I promise my SS I will get stuff together this week, find a box and some chocolate, and try to get it in the mail next week. I'm not sure how long it will take to get to _______ so want to mail it early.

For what its worth....any wiggling box sent to my home from my SS will be promptly shipped back to my SS.....along with a human sized wiggling box containing me......not that I'd mind another kit....but my hub and other kits might just have other ideas,, lol!!!

I hope the PTB (Powers That Be) watching over the Secret Santa program will see this: I sent off my package today.

Now some lucky person will be getting their gifts soon!


I'm going to wrap my items tonight. This weekend I will find a box and pick up some chocolate, so hopefully I'll be mailing mine next week!

Still waiting on my jewelry supplies before I can start.

I just marked you off on my spreadsheet as "shipped".
When someone posts that they shipped, I always mark it off.

You would be the most excellent UPS employee! You already have your own database.

Maybe you should start Karen's Shipping Service with the motto - It's not shipped until it's marked.


And you can mark me down as not shipped (not going to send anything until the very, very, very last millisecond).

That's OK, I'm patient. Not like all these dark-siders here who rip into their gifts the moment they arrive!!

I'm liking the mention of all this chocolate too!


I'm very excited because this weekend is the big pottery show I always go to, and I have something specific in mind for my SS. Or maybe just me - who knows?

I have the bulk of my gifts ready to construct (all cut up and ready to sew). Sorry, it's nothing that you'll find on my website, or maybe it is!


I think I'll drop a teaser present in the mail on Saturday.

Just shipped mine today. Didn't know how long it would take to get there, so I hope it doesn't get there too early.
