Sorry folks but I can't post pictures since my brother has my digital camera since it is broken and he is trying to fix it. BUT I did get some awesome stuff. Ok here I go.

Both kitties got these really cute felt stockings with cats on them. ONe was filled with Cat nip mice for moo and the other jingle balls for Tilly. BOTH had Cosmic Catnip cigars in them. Moo jumped into the box and stole one immediately! He loves it so much in fact he had so much fun playing with it he rolled right off the end of the couch!!!! Tllly was so busy with the jingle balls that she didn't discover hers yet but she will! They are super happy with their gifts!

I got TONS of chocolate!

which makes me very happy. I got Two Hershey Special Dark bars (my favorite!) and a giant Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar (DH's favorite) I also got a bag of Ghirardelli dark chocolate squares and a bag of Ghirardelli milk chocolate squares.

In addition, I got a package of beautiful pencils (which is great since i am down to my last one!) and easers. Also a much needed item. AND I got a really cute lion keychain that says the funniest thing when squeezed.

Thank you Santa! I love everything and me and the kitties are very happy!!

The only bad thing is there was no hint..about my SS's Identity. The only thing i can go with is where the package came from...WI....hmmm my MIL just pointed out that WI is where the green bay packers are from.....hmmmm

Woohoo! What great presents! I have a reliable source that says mine will be here Monday or Tuesday! Woot!!!

Well, I got a spa treatment in a box! Such a lot of beauty products to make me look gorgeous for the holidays! Looking at it made me think that I can look sexy after my divorce. What are those internet dating services? I'll be beautiful!

The treats and stuff for Butzie! Meow!

Sorry so long in the post. I appreciated them a week or so ago. Mea culpa.

¡Muchas gracÃ:censor:as!

Hmmm. I wonder if you're my SS. I have a box that I haven't opened yet.

Well, I got my pressie today from my SS. I went down to the mailbox today and it is a good thing I did! I asked the mail lady if there was a package for Apt E4 and she said YES!!!!! If I hadn't gone down there, I would have had to go to the post office, and since I work, it wouldn't have been until the 24th!! The first few photos are not that great since my camera wasn't set right.

Well on to the package.


The Clue on the package:


I was able to tell who my SS was from the clue on the box. My SS was KittenKrazy

The Loot!


What's in here Meowmy?


Toys!!!! Lots and lots of toys!! and treats!!!! And CATNIP TOO!!!!

More kitty stuff:


My loot... I am on the darkside... LOL






What the post office busted!!!

But I was able to salvage the bath salts and put them in another container.

I carefully picked out all the glass that I could see, and sifted out most of the tiny pieces. I will check each handful for shards as I use them. They are La Soie Lavender Shea scented. I got the bubble bath too!!

I also got a Spiced Vanilla scented jar candle. I love having candles lit while I am soaking in the tub.

I have been munching on the Royal Dansk Luxury Wafers. They are filled with chocolate cream and are yummy and not too sweet!

Thanks again KittenKrazy (you didn't put your name, LOL). I loved everything!!!

 

[emrldsky]

You know, you can always buy some cheese cloth and each time you want to use the bath salts, just put the handful in cheese cloth to ensure that any glass is contained, yet get the benefit of the salts. Then again, that's assuming bath salts melt. *shrug*

that's excellent advice.

 

[starryeyedtiger]

Everyone's presents look wonderful!!!

I can't wait for Christmas to get here so I can open mine!!!

(I'm on the lightside!) I get excited everytime I look at the box under the tree!!!

OK, I finally had time to get the photos downloaded.

That is a very good idea!! I will try to get some next time I am at the store. I can make a little drawstring bag to put them in. I think they will melt since my baths are on the hot side.

The bath salts and bubblebath smell sooooo good!!!! And so does the candle. It will be like I am at a spa with lavender petals. I think when I next take a bath, I will make me some hot spiced apple cider, light my candles, lay back on the bath pillow I got from last years SS and relax my tensions away!

I wondered if anyone would take note of my hint

There are several who haven't opened, so maybe its you.... maybe its not. If my person was a Darksider like me, they would know already

 

[snake_lady]

Only 5 more sleeps till Christmas.... Only 4 more mail days before Christmas... I sure hope mine gets here

and hope that the 2 I sent out last week arrive at their destinations soon

Tracking says they should arrive before Christmas.

am I the only one who can't believe how fast this has crept up? I mean wow, its Dec. 20..... I've gotten lost in time as everyones pressies have rolled in.

Everyones gifts have been amazing so far.... We have such a fortunate group of appreciative, and thoughtful people participating.

 

[gemlady]

Tomorrow, tomorrow, my package will come tomorrow...

I hope.

I noticed Christmas came up fast, too. Much faster than when I was a kid. I swear the 24th lasted foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeever!
