Here is my cool metal rose from my very creative Secret Santa! It will be pretty obvious who she is.



Thank you Melissa! I'm very much looking forward to opening the rest!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! That's lovely!

Oh my gosh -- that is truly a work of art. I'm sure WW could sell those as fast as she can make them! Gorgeous!

Don't worry about it. The felines of your recipient will appreciate the cheapest part of the gift. The box it comes in and lots of new, strange smells that it has.


ETA: Great job, Pushkin for opening the present early.

Whoops, yea I sure didn't post that yet, did I!


Here it is, needs a bit more "fluffing" and will eventually go on my front door once I get into decorating mode, but for now I just wanted to get it out of reach of inquisitive kitty paws

That is one beautiful wreath, there.


And Jan can tell you about those inquisitive kitties and wreaths.

I love the rose. What a lovely and unique gift.

I've included a couple of my hand-crocheted and starched tree ornaments for my secret santa. I hope she likes them as much as I like that rose.

Aye, verily. Maybe I should get a pic of what my wreath looks like now.

Jan - you didn't leave it out!?!?!
The wreath has been out all year. In the condition Ari left it in last Christmas.

I will eat a cookie on his behalf though.

I just finished up my SS shopping. Now I have to find a box and get wrapping and mail it off this coming week.

I might package it up in a few shipments so that it arrives staggered over a few days. It's nice to received packages! Especially around Christmas.
