OK, you dark side people. I opened my gifts. Well, it's a good thing, cause I can use some of the things to get ready for Christmas! Here goes:
These are homemade note cards - Christmas cards I should say - cards and envelopes that go in the red box, and the little box that the nut brittle was in, and the round thing is a beautiful food dish that I didn't get very good perspective on.

These are a little snowman box, and tons of little homemade gift tags. Some are made like teacups, some have kitties on them - and peacock feathers, and there are two that say "Thought you'd like a little pickup."
and it's a pickup LOL

Then there are some kitty greenies, a new book, (score!), notecards with a cat on them that looks JUST like Tigger, several humorous Maine postcards, LOL, and a pack of 50 Sudoku puzzles.

Wow - all I can say is that she really did a lot of hard work. I'm just amazed at the creativity. But it's so beautiful I don't know if I can use it!

I guess I can wait since the baking will take longer!!! But only this once!!

I sent to Australia last year and wrapped.... wait, did I? I can't remeber now, but I did send this year wrapped!! (opps!) May be a SS or not!!! Hmm.. not telling!

Ok, my present came this morning
sometime while I was asleep, but no opening
. I feel guilty opening it until I send mine, but with Thanksgiving I haven't had time to finish shopping and getting everything together with having to work
I still have ... some time, right?
