Last year was my first participating in SS, and I learned quite a lot. I learned that:
Cats and llamas go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you have a cat, you probably own or want to own a field of llamas. And gnomes....for some reason, cat lovers are all about gnomes. I think it is something about their ethereal beauty. Or maybe it's their pointy little hats.

will tear open dog treats intended as gifts (twice it happened!
). If in doubt as to whether she might be interested in something, store it out of reach of her grubby little hands.
Who would have thought that dog treats would have been in such danger?
The United States Postal Service "if it fits, it ships" boxes aren't very large. Even the biggest one seems tiny when you're trying to fit the presents inside. This year, I will select only flat items like paper and pancakes to make packing easier.
No worries, just kidding....
It is excurciating waiting for your own SS gift to arrive...if you are like me, anyway...pressie lovin' and darksided. (And I was delighed when my box did come...all these wonderful gifts from a kind soul in beautiful snowy Canada.)
