Oh, and Kitters toys are all shades of PURPLE. I saw the mouse at the store and had to get it. (Then keep Ari from it.
)
You better open! The SPCC is watching.Originally Posted by Sibohan2005
I just picked up my packages yes 2 of them at the post office.... I have yeto to fall to the dark side and have not opened them.
But they are from a far away land across the sea.
If I can make it I will open them tonight.
Oh Jan those are sooo beautiful!!!Originally Posted by gemlady
Those are fresh water pearls dyed a lovely dark green. Rather a holiday type green, do you agree? The clasp is sterling silver, as are the ear wires for the earrings.
Oh, they are hand knotted on green silk. Do you know how hard it is to find dark green silk thread without a yellow tint?
I hope you get lots of wearing pleasure from them. And if the thread breaks, I think I have enough to restring it for you.

I was kinda close... You're picture does it much more justice!!!! DH couldn't figure out how to open the clasp but I caught on very quick. It is a beautiful beautiful color! I loves it!!! and... DH wanted to tell you that he is super impressed with the individual knots above and below each and every pearl so that if it did break, you don't lose the whole strand!Originally Posted by gemlady

It's a safety clasp. If it comes out, the hook part keeps the necklace safe. Has come in handy on one of my necklaces. And the knots also keep the pearls from rubbing against each other.Originally Posted by SillyJilly

Wow Jana, that hat is super cool!Originally Posted by katachtig
Jan, you did a beautiful job on that.
I just want to thank my SS (Taurus77) once more for the yarn.
I now have a new hat which I think turned out really nice with the colors you provided.
There actually are... I'm being very good about it. And I even brought a couple to work today and let my boss try one... Just one thoughOriginally Posted by gemlady

Could you tell her I am very happy she got the package and that so far she likes it. Tell her I don't mind if she opens it now or later. If she'd like she can open the outer box and there are some "goodies" floating for her and kits but almost everything is wrapped. It could give her a little pre-christmas fun! Also, inside the box is a Christmas Cryptogram puzzle to help her figure out who I am if she so wishes, and another sealed envelope with the answers to it, if she gives up! She could make it like the 12 days of Christmas or wait entirely. It's up to her and I hope that she really likes everything I got and made for her and the furrmily!"
Oh my poor SS! I'm so sorry, I completly missed your post about the cryptogram!Originally Posted by pushylady
Aww, that is a really sweet thing to do!
Nikki's SS- very crafty!Love the cryptogram idea! Wish I was that creative.
I think Nikki would still be safely on the Lightside if she opens the box now.
Tierre-Keep those kitties waiting, see how long you can annoy them for!
That has to be the most prescious thing I've ever seen!!!Originally Posted by eilcon
Here's a picture for my SS of Isaac and his kitty cuddler. He loves it!
What a great job, Jana!Originally Posted by katachtig

You posted on Thursday that you had shipped it, so you were checked off.Originally Posted by Krazycatlover
who do I tell that I sent out my gift last week.
Nice!Originally Posted by MoochNNoodles
All the presents! (not including the Advent Nativity)
Show us the video! sounds cute.Originally Posted by MoochNNoodles
I still don't know who my SS is!
Can I use the videos I took of the girls going nuts over the toys as a bribe for some good hints??

But, everyone will have to wait until a little later to see my gifts. I'm keeping it until Christmas since we're not exchanging gifts this year. But, I'll be sure to share when I open it.
