We must find a way to correct this. I finally found a place here and the entire box was gone in a dayOriginally Posted by AlleyGirl
I guess I am neglected and deprived because I've never tried Tim Tams
The chocolates have been wondrous this year.
And Kim, darn it. Open your pkgs.
My SS outdid themself! Pepper and Petunia LOVE it! It is now the official "Clubhouse". It started off with no girls allowed...
"Hey, I said no girls!"
It has become Petunia's hideout so that she can jump out at me when I walk across the LR. She absolutely loves it! Pepper loves it too but I see Petunia in it most of the time now.
Oh and please excuse the mess. I set it up in my bedroom this morning and have since moved it, but the closet door was open and I have stuff on the floor.

Nice gift Laureen!!!
You kitties sure were curious!!!
The figurines are cute!
Fantastic haul, Laureen!
Well, I have seen the pooping critters in the store. I wonder which one my recipient would want.
Penquin? Moose? Reindeer?
And who was your SS?????????????

It's Here!!! It's Here!!!
I've been at home today sick, so I didn't make it out to check the mail like I normally do. When DH got home a little while ago, he brought in the mail with him- In with it was a package from my wonderful secret santa!
My person really went out of their way to decorate the box too! It's quite cute! They put Winnie the Pooh stickers all over the box (Which I totally love that show all things Winnie the Pooh (more specifically Tigger) related!) and they also drew cute candy canes and decorations on the box as well!
I can already tell from the outside of the package that a lot of care went into it
These past few weeks have been pretty rough for me, so it totally brightened my day to see that my secret santa package was here!
I haven't opened my present yet, I'm almost thinking that I would like to wait until Christmas to open it this year. I don't know though, the dark side is compelling!
My package is from Muskegon, Michigan.....I wonder who it could be
I'm still trying to figure it out!
Thanks Secret Santa!!!
I'll be sure to take lots of pictures when I open it!

Ok, sorry for the long wait, but we were trying to get the camera straightened out (and didn't, as you will soon see) but my SS did an awesome job!
Ok, first get your dramamine out...I have not idea why the pics are so funky...these were taken by both me and DH so I don't think it was operator error...but, who knows.
Anyway, since it's hard to see in the pics, I got:
A breathtaking print of a tree in Maine that I really need to get a frame for soon; a very warm scarf in green and red that I really need this winter; vanilla lip balm (also needed!) and lobster breath mints...(hmmm...?
) A beautiful kitchen towel and I didn't realize it had 2 cat ornaments wrapped in it (one broke...sorry, I was so excited...but super-glue fixes everything). A cat note pad with 2 bookmarks. One was hand made in Istanbul, so that is going to stay in the packaging, but the other will be worn to death in the next few months, I'm sure. Plus a TON of candy and a Yorkie Candy bar that says "it's NOT for girls"...I fought DH off though and hid it.
Not to mention all the dog and cat treats and cat toys. 2 catnip mouses that I am saving until after the dogs go to bed.
OHHHH!! I almost forgot! I also got a pack of "cat butt gum". I took a pic but it didn't turn out. But, it's for when you want "attitude"...that could be dangerous!!
Everything still wrapped
Everything unwrapped
My ornaments (one I broke :cry
The towel that I could never use!
The WONDERFUL print! No picture could do justice (especially not mine!)
Thank you so much SS!!! Now, to figure out who you are. I have a few clues so let me go investigate........

No it's not. I actually went as far as talked to some material engineers trying to get a source for the wire that they use in those tents and the only way I could buy it was by the crate full. Besides that, it's not easy finding the nylon material. So I make different tents. Hey - I made a Chicago Bears tent one time!
