OMG I got a SS Gift ALREADY!!!! Received Thread 2011

[calico2222]

I got something from my SS!!! It was such a rotten day at work and I've been in a terrible mood lately that I really needed it! I got 2 homemade kitty cat toys...llamas!!! Well, one I know is a llama, the other one I think is a ram. Either way the kitties LOVE them!! I needed something to cheer me up today and watching their antics chasing them around and being stoned kitties is just what I needed! Thank you Santa!!

I'm trying to find my camera to take pictures but so far no luck. DH took it with him when he went to Florida last month for work and I have NO idea where he put it and he's not here to ask. As soon as I find it I will post pics (if I can get them away from the cats long enough to take them that is!).

I remember seeing a post from someone who was making llama cat toys.....hmmmmm....going to have to do some investigating now.

We were relaxing at home tonight and a knock came on the door. It was the UPS man with a package. A package for ME!!!!!  I took a few pics but then my camera died. Teach me to use cheap batteries! I took 3 maybe 4 pics when it died. I will take more pics this week end and post them.

It wasn't hard to figure out who my SS was as I had her 2 years ago. I remembered the name!

But I got .....

A really pretty cross necklace

Milk chocolate holiday ornament candy

A Scrappy Kitty

2 teeny tiny kitties (less than an inch in size)

3 kitty toys

a lavender scented bar of soap

a pumpkin spice scented candle

a cute pair of magnetic bookmarks.

and a bag of treats for the girls!

All the way from NC!!

Thank you Nancy (aka CATTYBIRD) the treats couldn't have come at a better time! We were just about out and payday isn't until Friday. DH and I love the candle, necklace and everything!!

I think my Secret Santa is Rianna.  There are pictures of her kitties on the card.

That didn't take very long to figure out. lol

I hope you and your kitties enjoy your gifts. It was so much fun being your Secret Santa. Thank you for posting you received it so quickly. I've been anxiously tracking it.

Merry Christmas Denice!

Sorry I've been slow in posting more pictures.  I have worked at least part of every day for the last two weeks.

I opened a few small gifts from my SS.  Of course, I had help from lots of little kitty noses!



There was some catnip that was unwrapped already. 



A packaged of "Little Sausages with Hazel Nuts."  Pretty tasty (I hope they were people food.  I read French, but sometimes there are assumptions made on packages that we don't get over here.).



A small wooden Christmas decoration.



A mouse made from a plastic center and a woven fiber string wrap.



And a package of kitty treats.

Yes, the sausages are people food, Mike. I thought you might like a few tastes of Normandy! I am glad you read French, I did not know. You are being very good, only opening a few at a time!

Denice, Cattybird, can't wait to see pictures! Things are beginning to happen fast around here.

Just want to let my Santa know that I received another package in the mail yesterday. I'm still firmly on the light side so it sits unopened next to the other package. Am I torturing you by not opening them?

No, I don't! I know there are a few of us that are sending late though... such as myself and my Santee.... (I can't wait until I get the package you are sending me Santee! I hope you are sneaky too...)
Love looking through all of the gifts!

 

[gemlady]

Dear SS, I got your envelope today with the pin (I :heart3: Llamas ) and the superbly knitted llama finger puppet/cat toy/whatever . I will post a pic as soon as I can borrow a camera.

The envelope was sent through Royal Mail so a possible clue is that my SS is from Britain.
Too bad I can't read those bar codes they print on the front these days. :lol3:

Many thanks!

I just sent mine out this morning.  It should arrive the end of the week.  Seems like I remember that there were 40 some signed up.
 

 

[milk maid]

Oh well we must be about half way then 

 

[cattybird]

I got my SS package this evenig!

. And being me I immediately tore into it! The cats got some Garfield Themed catnip toys and three bags of CRAVE Cat Treats and three toy mice. Unfortunately I have no way of posting pics of the gifts. I got two beautiful necklaces(I'm wearing the cat one right now), a bag of M&M'S MINIS, a box full of chocolates and peppermints, a scented candle, three little cat ornaments?(sorry, not sure) and some Cozy Socks. In other words, I was spoiled!(GGGGGG). Thank you SECRET SANTA, and I WILL find out who you are!

OK,SS! Come ot,come out wherever you are! I know where you live! (Honest, I know you live in Boonville, Indiana).So, which Indiana person are you? i'M GONNA TRACK YOU DOWN ANYWAY.
