my teeth are extra clean. I am going to post the pictures, but I can't get them any bigger in photobucket. I tried changing the sets
they still look the same

Your not the only crazy person...LOL...Ive got an addiction to checking my mailbox haha not to mention the crazy SS dreams that I have. I had one last night where all the participants were required to be in a chatroom at a specific time and date to announce who their Santee was and then at the last minute Katie changed it and decided noone was allowed to know who had their name........I was not happy when I woke up cuz now Im worried that my SS will torment the living daylights out of me and Ill never find out who has my name and everyone else will know but me LOL

Excuse me, but there are no pictures attached to this thread. We require pictures of all things Secret Santa. Even cards.


ETA: To my SS if you send me something I promise to take pictures!

But... but... It's not that hard! Don't you have a digital camera? If not can't you buy a disposable one and have them develop the pictures to CD and then post them to us? Your SS might be devastated to not get to see your kitties enjoying their presents!

Its a memory card for digital camaras and cell phones. I have to use a Micro SD card which has 2 attachements that are used to upload the pictures/music/videos from the memory card to your computer. Most computers nowadays have little slots either in the front of the tower or in the case of laptops either on the front edge or one of the sides where you insert the card and it will bring up a little window asking you if you want to upload the pictures etc and when you load the pictures it will put them directly into your picture album. From there you can upload pictures to Photobucket (my site of choice) and once uploaded wham bam thank you maam you can use the links to show your pictures on TCS.


If you have a digital camara it should have a spot in there for a memory card or a USB cable where it will directly pull the images off the camara into your picture album. Atleast thats how it works in a basic sense for Windows I am clueless when it comes to Macs.

Some links to pictures of SD cards.

Micro SD card (what I use for my cell phone)
http://www.bing.com/shopping/SanDisk...5d&wf=Commerce

Full Size Memory Card (What would be used for a digital camara or video camara)
http://www.bing.com/shopping/SanDisk...5d&wf=Commerce

They are a bit expensive depending on the size but IMO I couldnt live without one because I have roughly 6 or 7 of these cards and alllllll of BFs work pictures are stored on there along with all my pictures that I had uploaded to the computer and old ones that I scanned to the computer. Right before the desktop crashed for good I managed to save all the pictures in copy to the memory cards so they werent lost forever. I would seriously be up the creek without those little boogers they are so handy.

Yes, I have an Olympus digital camera. I don't know about buying a disposable and having the pictures put on a CD...that might be the best way to go. I spent about two hours one night trying to post a picture of Daisy and I never could. The only reason there is a picture of Speck on here is because a friend at work took pity on me and posted it. Then a very kind TCS member came along and made the signature for me using that picture.

OhMyGoodness....I got a card from my Secret Santa. It asks a question and wants me to post a picture of my reply. I'm charging the battery for my camera....of course it's dead as a doornail!

The postmark on the card says Hawaii, but there's a newspaper clipping inside that is from the Dallas Morning News....methinks someone is trying a little devious misdirection here.

Hiking with Llamas indeed!

So today I stopped by my mailbox to check things out before leaving to have a CT scan done on my lungs. Look what I found waiting inside from my sweet SS!
It honestly couldn't have come at a better time eithor! I was nervous about my test, but the minute I saw my card all of my nerves went away and I felt soo loved by my thoughtful (and sneaky) SS! Thankyou my sneaky friend; I needed that encourgement today!


Notice the outside of the envelope- it's addressed from "santa paws!"



A giraffe "get well" card! My SS remembered my love of giraffes and seemed to know I would need a little extra encouragement today! Very thoughtful!



Inside of the giraffe card


Inside of my my giraffe card my SS also included a postcard. Sneaky, Sneaky! On the front it has two flags....American & Canadian. On the inside of the card my SS wrote: "It sure is nice living on the US/Canada border. Makes hiding my identity easier with a quick car ride across the border for my shopping."




I do believe I have quite the sneaky SS this year! Now I just have to figure out what country they live in

That card is really sweet. And at least you've got your Santa narrowed down to two countries.
