Very nice!

That's a good way to make it on my list of suspects...

ETA: You're suspect #3. There's truth in jest...

being inspected

Found my wreath on the floor the other morning.

Someone pulled it down from a high shelf.

I can't hang it on my front door because I have a screen door.

I've been looking for a good place. With the White Tornado there is no "good" place.

Guess what I received today in the mail?!? My SS sent me one of Karen's famous wreaths!!!!!!!!

You wouldn't believe how excited I was. Picture this. I had to work late tonight and then Rob and I drove home in a blizzard (huge storm right now, it looks like it will never stop). I'm grumbling as I walk up the stairs how I don't want this snow yet, and I'm tired .......and then.......I see the box on my doorsteps.

I start screaming.

Rob thinks I've gone insanely mad at this point. I go running into the house with the box in my hands....ignoring the cats in the process.

I rip open the box all the while doing a happy dance.

You wouldn't believe what PERFECT timing this was. It totally made up for my horrible day and I'm still smiling. Thank you so much SS!

And Karen, it's absolutely wonderful!!!!

I can't take pics until tomorrow since I still have to go have dinner and my battery is charging.

The card inside also stated that my SS is sending another parcel, but honestly SS, I'm just so happy with this you don't have to send me anything else. I'm

this!!

Can you tell I'm just a little excited?!?

But, I'll have to hang it out of reach since Gigi already tried to grab a part of a ribbon and take off with the whole wreath.

That cat has to taste everything. So I'll be hanging it on our front inside door.

And it's really funny. I've been talking to Karen regarding making me a wreath and was going to put my order in next week. I usually like alternative colours so I asked Karen earlier if it's possible to get black ribbon with burgundy and silver accents. She came through with flying colours.

to my sneaky SS and a

to sneaky Karen you doesn't give away any hints at all.

You've both made our first snowy evening of the season a little warmer.

OK, one more

I can't resist.

Pictures still to come.......

 

[pami]

Aww thats fantastic, Kass. I cant believe you were talking to Karen about buying one, while she was making one for you from someone else, thats perfect!

I cant wait to see the pics.

 

[gemlady]

Nice to know my wreath isn't the only one to have had a run in with the kitties.

Kass, last year i kept asking Karen to let me know the price to make and send one so i could send the money off, but everytime she kept putting me off by saying how expensive it would be for me postage wise?. I couldn't understand why she wouldn't just tell me, and then i realised why because my SS parcel turned up (Karen) and my wreath was part of it

I can't wait to see it

 

[tara g]

This thread is so exciting

I'm definitely looking forward to coming home and seeing a package, and I'm excited about sending my package out at the end of this week/beginning of next! I hope they like what I've put in there

 

[alleygirl]

We need pictures!

 

[pushylady]

what perfect timing!

I'm glad you like it!

She really can't, can she?

That was going to be my suggestion as well. Maybe on the inside of your door?

That got through customs and to you pretty fast! I didn't expect you to get it until next week. Glad you like it and that the timing was so perfect.

 

[catfriend]

My SS parcel has arrived!! I haven't opened the presents yet, but I don't think I will be able to wait until Christmas! A couple of things that weren't wrapped include some lovely catnip play pillows for Danny and a cute little snowman who is now watching the rain from my window!
I don't know how to hunt down my SS, but the postmark was Pennsylvania. I'll figure it out though!
Thanks SS!!
PS I don't have a camera or I would post pics!

 

[gemlady]

More pressies! Open yours. Can't let Danny have all the fun now.

Is there someone who would let you borrow their camera or take the pics for you?

 

[sillyjilly]

Ohhh!!! It sure it hitting heavy now! Lots of pressies arriving everyday now!

Open Open Open Open!!! We can't have them sitting around collecting dust!

 

[whiteforest]

I got my package today!!!

Thank you to my SS. I haven't started investigating your identity yet, but I'm excited!

Inspection checkpoint:

Ramsay claiming the box:

Gus enjoying all things that move and and make crinkle noises:

And finally...the spread!!:

NOW, lightside? Darkside?

 

[pami]

No question, dark side all the way!
