Oh it really has been my pleasure! And of course thank you to my network of Elves for helping

And if anyone else wants a copy of "An Australian Christmas", let me know and I'll send a copy, it's a REALLY fun CD

Has anyone ever told you that you have a wonderfully warped sense of humor (and, yes, I secretly wonder if he can manuever himself out, but of course, I woldn't publish that in public).

Darn!

The timing is right, but the only package left by my front door was my new cell phone. Of course, that's almost as good as a Secret Santa package, considering it's a replacement for the one I ran through the wash on Friday.

Who would have thought a little soap and water could zap a cell phone?

A card, but no clue here...


O M G ! ! ! !

Look at all the gifts!


Only halfway through opening...


All the chocolate and other goodies.

A couple from a local chocolatier.


The rest of the gifts for me. Sugar cookie body wash in the center.


Adorable goblet for when I feel like a little "whine".

And a plate for the chocolate lover...


Goodies for the kitties - minus the one address to Ari which is somewhere around here.


Help opening them...


And their stash.


Ari grabbing at his new black fuzzy mouse. He loves it!


On several gifts were clues to my SS - their likes and dislikes, that they have fostered several hundred kittens, they are in medical school... but the big clues (besides the Memphis address) was that they had three kitties (Kojak, Velvet, and Isabella) and a german shepherd (Hagan,who wanted one of the cat toys

).

My very generous SS was Nikki/StarryEyedTiger! Thank you soooo much. You really spoiled me!

You are sooo welcome!!! I'm happy you enjoyed everything

(And Ari seems to be enjoying things as well!) You were a blast to shop for! My entire family got involved- Jack went shopping with me to help pick out kitty toys, my sister and her kiddos helped another day, and my best friend went with me to get your chocolate! Everyone here in Memphis sends their love!

It's too cute

Ari seems quite happy!!! (Hagan almost ate one of his cat toys though! I had to run and rescue it while I was trying to wrap everything!

)

Did you enjoy the hints??? (I knew you were firmly on the dark side, so I decided to wrap EVERYTHING and put hints on all of it so it would take you longer to open

)

Special thanks goes to Rigel (coolcat) who helped me torture you with pictures of your presents before I mailed them, poems, and pm's for months

It was quite hysterical to have you as my secret santee since I'm a lightsider!

Thankyou!

With my sweet family & friends helping, I was able to find some awesome deals and get all of my shopping done under budget!!

I had no clue if you were much of a drinker or not Jan, but I figured it was way too cute to leave behind lol!! I think it would be lovely for a nice glass of juice or chocolate milk if you're not a wino like me!

(In a side note, that was NOT the box I had intended to ship with! I had a slight catastrophe at the post office lol).

Yes, the llama mystery has been so much fun.

But my question is, what was the story behind the llama hair? Was it really llama hair?

 

[monaxlisa]

wow, great gifts everyone!!!!

 

[vampcow]

I forgot to mention my SS also sent bath and body works shower gel and lotion in my two favorite scents..Warm Vanilla Sugar and Japanese Cherry Blossom. THANK YOU!!

BUT I need some help figuring out who my Secret Santa was! Can anyone help?
