Maybe you can add that star next to your name in that nifty database you keep - right before the check mark for 'shipped'.
You're too busy baking to keep up! I won't add any clues just to make it more difficult - unless you send me some yummy rolls to bribe me.
Meanie! Well, OK you don't want to send any more cat peeps over to the dark side I suppose. It's getting crowded there.Originally Posted by sarahp

Speaking of which, I joined that crowd myself! Yeah, I'm a real holdout.
Yummy yummy chocolates!
I have no idea who my SS is yet as they are being rather devious....but thank you for the early Christmas present!
I am DEFINITELY on the dark side!!!
I called DH at lunch today. He told me that I had a package today! Now I am expecting a couple of packages. One is a Snuggie (like they advertise on TV) and one from Gevalia Coffee Maker besides from my SS. Well, DH was in bed so he didn't want to get up and check to see what it was.
I called again on my break and he told me it was from my Secret Santa!!! Well, I just had to see if I could get off work a bit early. (I also had to pick up a gift certificate for a 3 month gym membership I had won)
And this is what I had waiting for me!!! I blocked off the address.. LOL
Of course I had to open it since I am on the dark side and couldn't wait!!
DH was grabbing at the treats before I could even take the pic! I made him put it back!
Here is them all unpacked!
The bag behind everything had bath products in them.
The girls got toys and treats!
Here are a couple pics of the girls checking out the toys.
I am taking this one to work! SO when I am frustrated, I can look and see cute kitties!
And last but definitely not least is this gift. I think that my SS must have been on the same wavelength as me. I was using a partially deflated beach ball as a bath pillow which is not very comfortable! I really, really wanted a good bath pillow since the one I had was an inflatable one that got a hole in it!
Now I "think" I know who my SS is, but I am going to message her to make sure.
I can't wait to take a bath with my new bath pillow!

Annnnyway I know you all are wondering soooo I got a bag of Peanut M&Ms! My favorite!!!Really Yummy smelling Clover and Aloe cream.. cat ornaments that match Shadow and Fin.. a cat pin.. a ceramic cat that holds trinkets.. Jewelry maybe? lol .... A cat desk calender.. a red fur cat toy and two stockings of cat toys. Thank you sooo much! I hate to tell you that the tin opened and some of your yummy smelling chocolate bars were smashed all through the box and then the red furry cat toy ended up all over some of them.. We're going to try to pick the fur off of them so we can still eat them... lol

What a great haul!!!
As yummy as they sound, I bet they won't go to waste!
OOOOOOOOO more nice gifts!
Oh... I forgot!!!
#1... Kim still hasn't COMPLETELY opened her gift!!! And that is upsetting the gift gods!
#2.... To my SS recipient,
I was as the post office today too. Was it because I was mailing your package? I guess it's possible. I am going again tomorrow to the post office. Might it be then that your package goes out, or it is just something else? Guess you will have to wait and see!

The package said it was from Putham Valley, NY... Now who lives in NY?Originally Posted by SillyJilly

What a great haul!!!I think I may have an idea who had you, but do the rest of us get any clues???
To all the SS recipients. I mailed out 3 packages this morning, and none were to my own SS!
But I'm guessing that there are 3 of you out there that may be getting something from my new location: the Secret Santa workshop! Oh, and almost forgot. Will be ready to ship 4 more on Friday!
(what can I say? I've got 10 cats due for their annual vet visit this month)

She's one of us!!!!! Have a cookie - if you have any room after nibbling that chocolate. And there is plenty of room left on the Dark Side.Originally Posted by pushylady

Smart folks!
I'VE BEEN FOUND OUT!!!! Catkiki has correctly identified me as her SS!! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW! I only gave her 1 TINEY little hint. I applaud you
I hope you liked everything!!! (including the scent of the bath stuff
)

To my SS recipient....if I don't send out your package soon, there will be even more things in it! Have...to...stop...buying!!
I am still working on the baking this weekend, but I still need to get your a few more things that I forgot the first few times....and then I have to wrap them and put in clues!
Yes, but I feel guilty because mine hasn't gone out yet. I'm so far behind this year.
The anal spreadsheet maker in me wants people to post when they receive if they don't open it right away. It makes the SS feel better and I can mark them off as received.
I do.Originally Posted by pushylady

Dear ________,
I am so sorry. I hang my head in shame. I did have the best intentions when I purchased chocolate for you early on this month.
But, time has a way of bringing out the worst in people and your chocolate didn't even make it into your package.
It was stripped of its outer layers and enjoyed with some new tea I just bought.
And.
it.
was .
so.
good.
Don't worry, though. It will be replaced, but thought I should at least admit to the crime so I can go through the rest of the Christmas season without a heavy conscience.
For this horrible act, I thought I would purchase something extra special for you. Hope you enjoy the __________ and the __________. I'm sure the _________ will also be well received.
Happy Holidays!
