A word of warning!

Today is the "approximate delivery date" the USPS gave me for my recipient to receive their package. Have you all checked your mail box?

If the postman rings twice, it might be a Secret Santa package!

The kitties and I were spoiled this year by our SS!!

Thank you AlleyGirl! (Paula)

Here are some pics


Reilly & Molly had to inspect the package prior to opening






Reilly says "I know this bag is for me"



Reilly & Molly having a conversation about who will get to play with the toy first




The crocheted cat toy is a huge hit





So much stuff!!



Lots of chocolate (which I might have eaten for lunch
...well not all of it), a photo frame for the kitties pictures, a very special calender staring Riley! 2 magnets, a lovely bracelett, funky socks!
, cat toys and treats, a Christmas ornament and a handmade blankie for baby-to-be


This blanket needed to come with a tissue warning
As soon as I saw it the water works started
Darn pregnancy hormones!

So beautiful and thoughtful

The "peanut" and the blankie



Once again thank you so much Paula! You really outdid yourself

Awww I'm glad you liked everything Tracy
and peanut looks great with the blanket already!
I had lots of "help" crocheting it
I will confess I didn't make the crocheted catnip toy though. I local girl makes them for the rescue and all the cats there love them


You were a joy to shop for
And you are pregnant so you're allowed to cry, lol.

Yay! Tracy is on the Dark Side!


Took sec for me to figure out which waterworks you meant. I presume tears and not bladder leakage.

Yeah I guess I should have specified! Pregnant ladies are prone to both I guess

I received mine today!

It made me cry. Jana made a donation to the Butterfly Pavilion in Colorado in memory of Emma Agnew (those who don't know, she is a dear friend of mine who was murdered last year)

Pictures to come.

Thank you so much Jana - it means so much to me!

I hate photobucket now - its gotten so complicated! Grrr!



In it I got a donation to the Butterfly Pavilion with a card that says:
"Kellye XXXXXX,

A donation has been made to the Butterfly Pavilion in memory of Emma Agnew, by Jana XXXXXX.

"The fluttering of a butterfly's wings can effect climate changes..." Paul Erlich.

Emma's life was too short, but through you, her spirit will be felt in the far corners of the world!

With sympathy,

Butterfly Pavilion Staff

I cried when I read that - it means so much to me.

I also got:

A crocheted pig - its SO cute! I love it!!!!!

A photo frame with Carly, Much and Lucy, complete with cat hair on the back


Butterfly playing cards

Ranch dip! Yum!

Lots of cat toys - the kits have been busy LOL.

A beautiful butterfly that I can put anywhere - I have to think where I am going to put it that I can see it all the time


Thank you so much Jana - this package means so much to me.


Oh yeah, I am definitely on the Darkside - hubby even encouraged me to open it.

If they are like mine, they also contributed a few stray hairs to be included. It is a lovely blanket Paula.

Kellye, I'm glad you liked everything.

Maybe this is why hubby wanted you to open it now.

Some of us older ladies can sympathize and add coughing.
