Don't feel bad, I've never even heard of them.


We need to add another cell to that spread sheet. People who have sent their packages and are still waiting to see that the gift(s) were received. I want to be on that list!

I am hoing to get my package mailed this weekend I have been putting it off in order to get all the bakeing done. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) I hope Canada Post is still shipping in a timely maner.

Kellye(kiwideus) is my SS. It's kind of hard to send overseas and not give a name. I did love my little Kiwi Santa ornament.

Everyone checking out the box.



My chocolate stash!
Oh and my very first box of Tim Tams!




Everything together before I started unwrapping.



Everything unwrapped.
Oh and let me say that the box smelled heavenly! The lush soap was unbelievable.

Starting across the back Tim Tams, hot coco with a cup, New Zealand wilderness calender, pineapple lumps (yummy), Cadbury Favorites. Across the front is toasty socks!, kiwi Santa, Eight Moments of chocolate, New Zealand book of Slang, Cat hanging it says ( Cats leave Paw Prints on your Heart)
a box of Words to Live, Inspirational Cats and last but
not least Lush soap. They smell so good!!


Again Kellye, Thank you very much. I also posted in Fur pics. My crew loved the box and newspaper.
Verrrry nice!
I bet the Book of Slang is funny.

That's what I did as well.


I picked up my SS package from the Post Office. I have not opened it yet. I am so far behind with my gifts and feel guilty so I will not be opening it until I get a little more done. Before you all freak out on me, I have been working on my gifts a bit today.
So while I am not opening this second, I will by the end of the weekend at the very latest. Plus, I want to open when I have a wide-awake kitty and she is a slug right now.

Well, I just received a box from Hershey, Pennsylvania (
) with no message so I'm not sure which SS (I'm in 2 this year) it is from.


I'm thinking maybe TCS because my SS here has been veeeeeeery secretive.


Have to borrow a camera but the box is open and it is a couple of gift boxes done up with a ribbon and bow. (Which Aristotle has already chewed on.
)

You do know what they make in Hershey, PA?

Can you say CHOCOLATE?

You must open it all immediately.

Yes, I know what they make in Hershey (did you notice the
smilie? ) so the shipping box IS open.

The top box of the tower looks the size of a giant Kiss.

I suppose since you've rescued the chocolate you can wait... but do you really want to? You can always take pics of what's left later.

She is Toooooooooo funny, and thanks SS!

But I haven't opened anything yet...
You sure bet your cookies I remember!!
If I had anything to say about it, you'd be opening them all right now!
Maybe I can try and make you feel bad.... Just think of what you are putting your poor poor, sad SS through. Knowing it's just sitting there. Not being loved, and played with. In a prison of wrapping paper of every season!

Will you open it now?
