Wow! Wow! Wow! That wreath is absolutely gorgeous! Kass, you were able to do something nobody else has been able to do, and that's to photograph the wreath, and to do it justice! Another stunning wreath Karen!

Everyone's getting great pressies!

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!

Excellent!

When are you going to open the presents?

Were there any hints inside?

I can just picture you with your fuzzy socks on, wrapped in your blanket, enjoying your chocolate.

Dagoba makes some really good chocolate. My recipient will also be getting some.

No kidding, huh? I had sent her a PM challenging her to take a good pic of it and she rose to the challenge hands down. She's hired!

Darkside!

Did I mention Darkside?

I've always been the odd one out. Where everyone wants the silver and blues, Karen knew I wanted a black/burgundy wreath (with silver highlights).

Karen, I really appreciate all the effort that went into making this wreath. I adore it.

Thanks again SS for thinking of me, I feel honoured. And to Karen, who ran around a lot and probably cursed my name!

She even used 4 different types of ribbon. A black silk, burgundy silk, burgundy/black and burgundy sparkle one. It's really beautiful and so perfect to what I wanted.

Wow!! SO pretty!

Here's my wonderful gifts!! (Including the blanket that I've photographed the other things on) There are two more toys missing. It was the only way I could keep Gus off my blanket while I took the picture.

I cannot wait to try that Chai chocolate!!

The boys and their toys:

I am so glad you went to the darkside!

They look so cute with their pressies! Good going WELDRWOMN, you did a great job! Looks like you will be having a nice warm, chocolaty divine holiday!

I guess I can wait that long! But geeze! I'm still gonna open it right when it gets here, unless hubby hides it from me like he tries to some years!

But he says I have hawkeyes so it doesn't help much.

It's OK, I have lots of patience and don't mind waiting for yummies.

Kass & Karen, that wreath really is stunning! You've outdone yourself this time Karen.
