Hope, why don't you cancel your internet like one of our members may have to do to save money?. At least this way you can have some money to treat yourself each month.

I'm sure your sister won't see you without anything though after she was so generous to you on your visit to Florida

Helen, those are great gifts!!

 

[katachtig]

Great gifts, Helen. And the cats look great as always.

 

[AbbysMom]

Great gifts, Helen!

Look how big Lucia is!

Oh no! A good reason why I do not decorate during Christmas anymore.

But look at his cute little face... How can you be mad at that? :-(

Maybe you can send Ari over to Kims house to get her to open those presents!

I got a second gift from my secret santa!!! My SO called me this afternoon to tell me I got another gift from my but I couldn't open it till 5:30pm tonight!!!! I was going crazy!

Of course the kitties were sooooo excited to pay with the box. Leya and Luna loved chewing on the box

I screamed when I opened it!!! It's a HORSE blanket!!!!!

 

[sillyjilly]

Wow!! Everyone's gifts look so cool! Good job to all the SS's so far! Outstanding!

Gorgeous horse blanket! Luna kinda freaked me out there at first until I figured it out!

Yeah! It's impossible to take pictures of something new if you have cats! If it wasn't her in the picture it was Thor or Stuart

Thank you SO much Linny, you spoiled us rotten. I especially want to thank you for thinking of my Husbands Feral cats with all those treats, we are so overwhelmed

Lovely wrapping again!

Pepino loves his toy!

With all their loot!

Pepino likes the pooping reindeer

Persians don't get too excited

Is this stuff not adorable!! The Snuggles are hand warmers

Look at that shoe soap!!!


Doesn't he look satisfied

That is the cutest wrapping paper!

Great gifts!

I'm sure when your Persians are up for their 3minutes of activity for the day, they'll show their excitement at their haul!

Very, very nice!

 

[mrblanche]

I have sent off my package. When the recipient gets it, they should open it up; why delay the fun? I didn't make any effort to hide my identity, for reasons that will become obvious.

That made me laugh out loud! So true!

Great gifts everyone! It's so exciting seeing everyone get their gifts already!

 

[going nova]

OK! I got the package that my wonderful SS sent to me & Nova!

Here is what we got:

Yes, my SS sent me rocks! There are two large, dense, uncut geodes. It's like a double surprise because I'll be surprised when I cut them open! SS, I think you are super thoughtful, and it means a lot to me that you picked these out just for me! They feel quite dense and I'm sure they're full of crystals!

Nova loves her wand and catnip. Here's the proof, as if anyone had any doubts!

The cut geode is gorgeous. It's loaded with crystals and sparkles like mad. This photo doesn't do it justice.

OK, maybe I'm a

, but here are my new rocks fitting in nicely with my other rocks. All of my rocks are special to me... I know where each one came from, because I found most of them myself! I may have found a tiny geode over the summer, but I gave it to my boyfriend. It's nowhere as impressive as the ones from my SS.

Finally, Nova is enjoying her new playhouse.

Secret Santa, thank you so much for my gifts. They're perfect, I love them... and I can't believe you actually mailed rocks halfway across the country.

Nova thanks you as well.

Now, I'm going to try to figure out who you are. I've already accused someone...

 

[katachtig]

Wow, those rocks are basically really cool packaging for the crystals. They look like they'll fit right in with your collection.

 

[gemlady]

Wow! Rocks! Something my SS might have sent me if I hadn't had a garage full already.

The geodes appear to be those found in the Keokuk, Iowa area. How do you plan to open the other geodes? Do you have access to a diamond saw or plan to use elbow grease?

 

[pushylady]

What a thoughtful gift! I love looking at those geode crystals. Must've wieghed a ton to send!
Rock on, Going Nova!

Rock on! What great gifts.

I may be sending out my package to my Secret Santa today, but then again maybe I won't. Only Snooping Santas and my hairdresser know.

 

[jaffacake]

Great rocks!

Are you going to open them up? ( or is that not the done thing

I know nothing about collecting rocks and crystals! )

Lovely horse blanket too!
