I think you are suppose to post your name on the list once you receive your gift.

Question for the SS mods : My recipient knows I am her SS. She has not updated the list. Am I allowed to do it for her? Thanks!

Ok I finally got pictures of the gifts my SS sent me
Oh crap....I forgot to take pictures of the bag. I have all my crotcheting supplies and yarn in it all ready and it's out in my car. It's a tote bag that has a cat on it and it says "I love my cat"

Here's the stocking my SS sent me. Isn't it awesome!!!! I just love how the cat is shaped! All of their toys from my SS are in the stocking, well, except for a few, they wouldn't let me put them ALL in there



Here's the toys. I can't wait to open that wand thing and play with it! I just know they will all love it! Stuart scratched my hand when I tried to put the toys back in the stocking! Oh!!! And we got cat treats too! The Pounce kind that "has a special sound that cats just love" according to the commerial, but they're right, our cats went nuts as soon as I opened the package and took the treats out
My SO told me the treats couldn't wait till Christmas so he gave some to the kitties, he's also told me to let the cats have at least one of the toys from the stocking

Me too!!!

I got another part of present from my SS today! I got a $10 gift certificate to my FAVORITE artist here at TCS Renovia's Endless Whimsy!!!!!
My SS definitely has been paying attention because I truly adore Renovia's sculptures, and I actually have been meaning to get an Annie Endless Whimsy creation...I just need to decide on the post.


The gift certificate (which I don't have pictures of) was wrapped in tissue paper and a green ribbon. I thought the clue was the tissue paper, but I asked Renovia who said my clue was the GREEN.
Guess I gotta keep waiting for more clues! I'm a hopeless numpty at things like this!

I don't think that's for SS. As far as I knew, Mike was the only guy participating this year.

I'm still waiting patiently. I think I'm going to put a note on my door today for the mail man. "Please leave all packages at the leasing office." That way if it comes while I'm at work I won't have to rush to the PO to pick it up.

Meanwhile, I was at the PO yesterday with two... yes, two packages to be sent.

All the gifts are arriving now!
Everyone has been getting such wonderful gifts, and our kitties have been spoiled (as they should be).

I love seeing all the photos and how creative some people have been!

My SS package arrived earlier this afternoon. I actually ran into the mailman as I was leaving to run errands. I'm almost feeling too overwhelmed to say much right now except a heart felt "thank you" for my SS's thoughtfulness and generosity. Besides gifts for my kitties, me and a few more for little Isaac, there are also gifts for my parents' cat, Lucy, my brother's cats, Jack and Dori, and my other brother's golden retriever, Carlos. How sweet is that? My SS thought of all the animals that are special to me. There are so many thoughtful, wonderful gifts; I need to go back and look at everything again. One that really stands out is a gorgeous Christmas ornament featuring the faces of my beautiful babies - Katie, Gracie, Pete and Claire. That one made me cry. So, many, many thanks to my SS. I'll post more later, along with pics. Still feeling pretty overwhelmed right now.

I made a coat hanger Christmas tree and I can't wait to put something beside it!

Turns out box 1 WAS one of two!

Dottie brought this in from the porch yesterday, while I was in Jackson, MS.



Ella and Sterling thought there might be something interesting in the box.



And they were right!

First was a laminated set of recipes for tapas. That's not something we have much in this area, but I've heard of them, so I'll have to try them.



There were 3 individual gifts, one for each cat.



Some yummies for Dottie and me.



And a handmade card...



Revealing that Butzie was my Secret Santa!



She apparently had accomplices (she called them "elves").



And she revealed how my first package got here.
