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

Well based on that information you can eliminate a few people...by country and location within the country..devious SS peoples

Then a very kind TCS member came along and made the signature for me using that picture.

The easiest way to upload a picture to here is:
Plug the camera into the computer and "import" or save the photos onto the computer. Then go to a website like Photobucket and you will make an account if you dont have one. Then you will upload the photos by just click upload and then selecting the pictures you want. (You can hold down CTRL to select more pictures at a time!)
Then once the photos have uploaded you will see 4 links below or next to them, you will want to copy (ctrl+c) the one called IMG Code and then paste in into your post!

A llama while you were driving? Were you shopping for one? Umm. I did'n't say I was adverse to snakes, but I AM adverse to a llama! My yard is teeny tiny. Is it too late to return it?

A friend of mine has a picture of a llama on his facebook, I should ask him where it's located so I can pick it up

works pretty much the same way - when i connect my camera, my mac opens iPhoto [like MS Picture Manager] & asks if i want to download the pix, then asks if i want to keep the originals or delete them. from there, i upload the desired pix to Photobucket. i resize [if needed] on Photobucket's site.

Well, my SS struck! I'm so excited!

When the UPS truck pulled up in front of my house, I figured it was the checks I had ordered. But, no-siree. It was a gift from my very awesome SS!

And, since I started tearing through the box before even getting through the front door, I think I solidified that I'm officially a dark-sider! But, I knew the company name on the outside of the box was that of a delicious local chocolatier. I mean, chocolate! How could I not have ripped open the box?!

The address on the outside of the box was from Tennessee. I know we have a couple of TN members here, but I wonder if my SS is really from TN or has just taken advantage of some package misdirection. It's madness trying to figure it out -- madness I tell you! (PS. I love me some madness!)

I've already eaten a piece of chocolate and it was delicious beyond words. I almost didn't want to tear the beautiful fall-themed paper on the box, but the smell of good chocolate is alluring and I couldn't help myself. I haven't even eaten lunch yet, but that first piece of chocolate was to die for. And, let me tell you, I think there's another piece in my future to be had right after I eat lunch. And, maybe another one after that...

Inside the box was a packing slip with a message from my SS:


"Under the weather you've been, it's true. So, simply nothing but chocolate will do! With love, Your Secret Santa"


Now, let's get to the important stuff. Here are the pics:







I know the photos are the greatest, but my SS is! I couldn't get my camera to work but knew that pics were a must and so this were taken with my cell. But, you get the picture, right? Now, just remember that while these pics might make my SS treat look fab, they look amazing in person! And, trust me when I say that they taste that way as well!

Thank you to my SS. My gift couldn't have come at a better time. I love it (and you)! Now, if only I knew who you were...

One last thing before I go...YUM YUM YUM!!!
