I would just buy one jumbo size bag of catnip and scatter it over the house for them!

You are all scaring me! It sounds like everyone has all ready done their SS shopping and started wrapping! I am still trying to snoop and decide what to finally get...please tell me that I am not the only one who has barely gotten started!

Believe me....you're not the only one who's barely gotten started. I've started up a Word document with my SS stuff on it, so I can take it with me shopping. That's about as far as I've gotten.

Oh no, don't panic. I'm a shopping hoarder! I buy a little here, a little there, a quick something at this place and stash it away. I normally start this type of behavior after I've started snooping my SS. I will shop right up to the last day before I ship.

Oh, you're not alone. I am FAR from finishing up my package!

I've picked up some little things for my SS and her cat(s). I've gotten the stuff for the "big" present(s) and I've started working on it, but it will probably take a couple weeks to finish up. And I haven't even started thinking about what cookies to make! That doesn't start until after Thanksgiving, though. The baking, I mean. Otherwise, I would have to test them like Eva did the chocolate.

On the west side of... of... somewhere.
I am actually undertaking a sizable project for my SS... I hope she loves it... I think she will, as she made a comment about wanting one... just hope i don't goof it up too much...

I haven't shopped for her kitties yet... but i have time... really. I'm in not in a huge rush.

Now, I really do need to get some other projects and some cleaning done. I'm heading out of town this weekend and I need to make a couple things for my best friend, whom I'm visiting. Heck, for one of them, I may just bring the d*** sewing machine with me... OTOH, maybe I'll just do both there... no... hmmm... crud. See, in order to make anything for them, I have to sew in a cat-hair-free environment. My apt. managers have graciously given me permission to use the club room... guess i really *should* haul the machine up there, huh? I hate my sewing machine... heavy than lead in an empty swimming pool... I'll see how long it takes to make the blanket... then maybe I'll do the curtains... all easy stuff...

I remember hearing so much about the gnomes not long after I had joined TCS, so I caught myself looking at a gnome at Ross, thinking "should I send one to my SS person!?!?" Keeping up with the Jones's, if you will.

But, I didn't get it. My person is too cool for a gnome!

Me, too. I probably will have loads of stuff when its all said and done. I already have so much, but they're just little things. I've been picking up stuff for my real life family since June, actually.
Well, semi-annual sales get me everytime.

Oh and Takoda says he is just so excited to get a gift from Abby.

All of a sudden I have three presents for my SS. I love it when I find things when I'm not looking. And no, it's none of the 2007 biological gifts.
I really, really like sheep!
