If you don't Karen will be very annoyed, and put a big black X next to your name....

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?
I do plan to open them up! If I do open them, I'll definitely do it with a diamond saw. I'm sure there's one somewhere in the geology department. I'm going to keep them closed for now, though, and wait for a time when I need some cheering up.


...Gemlady, you are my #2 SS suspect...

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't you one of those "Open on Christmas Day" kind of people?

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...
Very, very cool gifts!
Your SS obviously did their homework.

Not true!
No, you do not have to let a snooper know when you ship your gift.

My Parcel arrived this morning


As I support the Dark Side, I opened it immeadiately. These are the wonderful things that my SS has sent me and my kitties. The problem I have is that I have absolutely no idea who it is. There are no clues that I can find, the only thing I know for sure the SS real name and the fact that the parcel came from the Philippines. Unless, of course, some one is being extra sneaky to me this year. I may need some help here guys.

My gifts were a coffee mug showing the Philippines, and a beautiful bead necklace in my favourite shades of brown, also a magnetic note pad with a kitty picture on it. And the kitties each got a toy mouse.

Actually there will be pictures later - if some one here who is cleverer than me can tell me how to do it. I just tried and with my limited knowledge - failed

do you have a photobucket account? if not, open one [it's free] & upload your pix there. if you do, then just upload your pix - then follow these directions:
after resizing [if necessary] click on the tag beneath the pic that starts w/the code.
paste that code into your post.
if you preview your post you should see a pic - otherwise, you'll just see code.
example of the code w/added space so that code & not a pic will show:
[IMG ]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v383/laureen227/special%20gifs/siamesemagi.jpg
pic the above code points to:


HTH - anxiously awaiting the promised
!

If you get stuck, you can email the pics to the SS email account and one of us will post them.


Can't wait to see the pics.

Here... or There... Hmmm
Can't wait to see pics and I think with some searching you'll be able to find out who your SS was. Or you can try asking for hints and having some of the Snooping Santas get hints from your SS for you!

Everyone is getting so many nice and thoughtful things.

Laureen, that wreath is so beautiful! I ordered my Mom one last year with light blues, though. The blue ones are so beautiful, well all of them are.

When school lets out and you bring it home, it will look good with your blues in your home, too.

Very nice!

I just wanted to add that I know someone in the Phillipines, too
