The yarn is not a clue to her replacement SS.

It is Santa, singular.

Lets see....in my package....

Handmade cat potholders and oven mitt



Two huge Hershey bars, one with and one without almonds (half the almond one disappeared this afternoon
), a chocolate santa and a candy cane full of Hershey's kisses



For the kitties, two flavors of kitty treats and a cat wand...haven't been home much since yesterday, have not had a chance to try it out.......but I have my suspicions that they'll love it!


Six kitty kickaroos in my favorite colors.....I must find out whats IN these things, I don't smell catnip, but my kits went nuts over them!


This is Sam, our resident mouser at the bakery....he does NOT play with toys....seems to prefer live ones....mice, rats, birds...etc......but in less than five minutes?


I have some more of my kits playing with these and of the last gift, a beautiful fleece throw w/handstitched hem stitching that I am in love with, but I cannot for the life of me get photobucket to upload them this afternoon
, will post them as soon as I can get them .

Thanks to my secret santa, zorana_dragonky, who bless her heart had a bit of difficulty getting these out to me.....but thats all well and good.....this package came to me at a time when I needed a pick me up, and have been craving chocolate like crazy, lol!

Just wanted to leave a quick note to say that I am very, very happy that you enjoyed your gifts! I really enjoyed making them. That blanket got snuggled by the cats of several friends and family members (as well as my own cats) while I worked on it! It is catnip inside of the kitty toys, although I'm not sure why it doesn't smell like catnip anymore. It's catnip and polyfill.
So glad I could cheer you up, and so sorry it took so long to get to you. Happy 2010 to you and DH and your kitty family.

It worked.
I just can't seem to embrace that term.


We have one person still waiting for a gift.

In the snow!!!!
They are almost too beautiful to light. I totally love the way that they were colored with a torch - that really is right up my alley.

They're perfect for you! I wouldn't want to light them either, just keep them as decoration.

It's here!
It's here!


My SS mailed a package on December 11, but unfortunately it's still stuck somewhere in Postal LaLa Land. So the TCS Elves stepped in and I got a Christmas/Valentine package today. I had an extremely busy weekend and was sleeping in this morning. The package was delivered before I was even out of bed.


Goldy was the first to check out the box, but by the time I got my camera out she had disappeared. So we have Miss Patchwillow looking things over first. The green on top is a beautiful blouse. Love the color and style, and yes it's a perfect fit.


Shareena gets to inspect the second layer


More kitty inspectors. You can't see everything but there is a cat bed--just the right size for the show cages and almost exactly the same color as my show curtains.
Two feather toys, catnip treats, and CHOCOLATE!


Merlin goes for the feathers even before they're unwrapped. You can also see the sparkly design on the blouse behind him.


He stretched higher than I expected so his head is out of the picture, but you can see his gorgeous belly.



Even Cali is playing with the feathers, and she almost never plays with toys


The best part of the whole deal---THE BOX


especially since the Old Box is about done for


Cali in the box


Goldy came back to finish up the inspection


The furkids haven't been allowed to open their treats yet, but meowmy got into hers. Chocolate for breakfast!


Thank you SS Elf
