GRRRR...REALLY? Meanie!!!

Although, if my SS wanted to share how to DO that with a snooper, I'd love to know, so I can share in the Devilishness. Cause I want to send something but I think I would be quickly found out...

Oh woo woo!!! SS this year seems to be full of extra deviousness. I love it!!!

That book mark is pretty like really pretty. I would be such a nerd though that Id never use it and put it on display where the monsters couldnt get it.

Oh this is so fun!! I love this time of year!!!!

Shall we take a vote? Does this count as the first SS gift that has arrived and posted, winning the prize points, or do we wait for a full scale gift? Or shall we just consider this a "teaser," and not the real thing?

Well, the card does say it's long enough to drape around a vase. Just keep the vase out of kitty paw reach.

I think it qualifies and should be used to start the official Received thread!

Kluchetta and I have discussed it, and we have decided to view this as a "teaser," and not a full-fledged SS gift receipt. Besides, she doesn't need the points!

So, folks, if you receive a complete SS package from your SS, be sure to post it, as you are still eligible for the prizes!

Haha, it DOES look like the cartoon cat from Pepe le Pew... It says at the bottom...made by Lyn.

Oh, on the back it says To Kim: just a little something to get the Christmas spirit started. Your TCS Secret Santa...

LOL keeping stuff outta paw reach is like mission impossible. I knock on wood daily that the one shelf I hung my ornaments from Amanda on hasnt been knocked down...I do catch them eyeballing them though...little hooligan.

I'm SO SO SO SO sorry...my SS has struck again, but I was super duper busy this weekend!

So here's the scoop! Got a rather...squishy...package in the mail...stamps hand cancelled AGAIN...inside this note:

"Here's a little something to keep the kitties happy while they're waiting for Christmas. Or maybe that's Halloween...

I have to admit they've been pre-tested. I had the envelope all ready but hadn't sealed it. Put a notebook on top to hold it down. When I came back in the room, three catnip pillows were scattered on the floor and the fourth was in the process of being fished out.

At least they didn't disappear into the black hole where most toys live around here.
Your TCS Secret Santa"

and there were four catnip pillows in a cute halloween motif in the envelope.

Of COURSE they got INSTANT approval!!! Had some very nipped-out kitties! Thanks, SS, you're the best....and I somehow...think I recognize your writing? Hmmmm....LOL
