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!
Oh I will!!!Originally Posted by kittylover4ever
I'm sending mine on Saturday, so SillyJilly be looking for it!!
I guess I can wait since the baking will take longer!!! But only this once!!Originally Posted by valanhb
My Secret Santa is going to have to wait a little bit, as I have a LOT of baking to do before I can send it. Probably won't be sent until after December 1st...probably.
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!Originally Posted by icklemiss21
For those sending internationally (just to add to my problems) seemingly it is against international customs laws to wrap the pressies individually inside - the gifts I sent my sister were returned to me by customs with a polite note saying that i was to send them unwrapped so customs can 'see' whats in it (because they can't rip the gift wrap as well as the box and brown paper wrapping that) and now I have to pay again to resend it!
If he did I should get it soon!!Originally Posted by Bella713
My husband sent my gifts out to my SS today, or did he really
OPEN! OPEN! OPEN!!!!!Originally Posted by alikatt
Ok, my present came this morningsometime 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 workI still have ... some time, right?
Welcome to the world of procrastination, where I am the Queen.
