PILFERER!!!Originally Posted by Russian Blue
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!

PILFERER!!!That's a shocking crime!Karen, is there a place on your spreadsheet to keep track of the pilferers?
And then you'd need a separate cell to track the pilfering cats of the pilferers, and that's just getting messy.Originally Posted by gemlady

Carol, I think I know you well enough to know that you would have found gifts that would be appreciated, even if you stuck to a severe budget. It's not the actual gifts, but the thoughts behind them. (I know I'll treasure the hand-made scrap book my SS or someone sent me.)Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
I just finally caught up on this thread, and oh, I wish I had participated this year! I didn't sign up because I didn't want to disappoint anyone, but gosh...
I'm going to start saving right now for next year's SS! Meanwhile, it's fun living vicariously. Thank you for all the great photos!

You know, that's absolutely true.
Ah....yeah! Hello?!!
well, unless you consider price a reason. i waited until fairly late last year to send mine, & the price was more than double what it cost me this year...Originally Posted by Bella713

the box i used was the one my wreath came in... it sat on the kitchen floor for a couple of weeks before i packed things in it - & i saw kitties in it from time to time!Originally Posted by Momofmany

There are some boxes and packing peanuts and bubbles that have been all over the world from TCS members shipping things to each other. I know at one point me and Karen kept shipping the same box back and forth to each other that had actually come from someone else.

there's certainly plenty of that going on.
And shame on you Kass! (I did the same thing)
Hey it arrived already!
Good on you for holding off opening it for now. We'll see how long you last - the Darkside pressure is intense, and the cookies are tasty.
Kitters is in all the boxes!!!
That narrows it down quite a bit.

DH has just picked up a package with my name on it!
I think it's only fair to place it under the tree until I send my SS gift out. Which will not be until Dec 15th. Boy.... that is such a long time. I wonder if I can hold out that long!
To whoever my SS is.. Thank You and I know I will love it!
Who has that now, me or you?
