I am very sorry for the horrible wrapping job. I have never been able to do it properly, but I hope you will enjoy everything just the same. I tried hard and did the best I could.

I know the kitty or kitties will like what I got them because Polly and Prego kept stealing them.
I will so love it!!!
Thanks!




Karen!!! You have to open it!!! Please!!?? I'm going to cry if you don't!!

Diana, I didn't realise that your sweet Aby looked so much like my Molly!
She looks gorgeous playing with her bopper (incidentally, Molly loves our bopper too!
) Molly send kisses to her far away sister!

Yay!
Eileen, you know I was even trying to think of other people, with three girls, while I was out food shopping!
It was driving me mad wondering who was your SS!


Imagine how bad I'll be when my own gift arrives!


Ooooh! Karen, get those pictures uploaded!

I was right about Eileen's SS!
I guessed it in her pic thread. I noticed the SS box had what appeared to be a declaration label.

Karen!! Hop to it!

Right here! :)
I have got mine!!!


Its a full box of great things.....even something for my son!


OK........lets empy the box....

There is:

A lot of bubble wrap, both with small and big bubbles. (I am so easily pleased, I have had great fun with it, allthough I am not sure if it was ment to be an actual part of the presents
)

3 different very nice Christmassy tin boxes (I love having nice tin boxes on display in the kitchen, those will have Christmas cookies and homemade chocolate things in them......later
)

In the boxes were lots of nice stuff:
*A suitcase tag, with "S" engraved on the back (or front, depending how you look at it
)
*Burt´s Bees Essential body kit........great kit with hand cremes, body lotions, cutilcle creme, lip balm and foot lotion.
*Maple syrop and honey
*Material to make Thrum socks..........I really love that one, look forward to make them.

There was also so cute chocolate mice in a box, decorated with a decorated cinnamon stick.
A mouse on wheels that winds up and drives.....wich is great fun for all three of my cats........the two with fur and tails and the one I call my son, but he insists beeing a cat

A Christmas box with a kit to make a snowglobe and a Christmas book

Wrapped presents for Pollýanna and Feykirófa and one for Oliver! They have not been opened, as they are wrapped, but I cheeted with the tins as they weren´t clued shut!!!
(Well, I had to open them, they might have contained something that would go bad if I didnt open it right away, you never know!!!)

This is all so great, even the little cards/tags are great, homemade (if not by my SS, then by someone else
), I am starting to look into scrapbooking and cardmaking, those give me some ideas to start with making Christmas cards. The ribbon on Pollýanna´s and Feykirófa´s gift is a great start for my Christmas card making


When my Miss Havingaliveonherown laptop will decite to allow some photos to enter from my camera, I will post the pictures


Thank you so much, dear SS!!!

Ah OK I got this box, and this box has 2 gifts in it. and not a clue unless anyone knows someone that shops at Cat connection. I believe it came straight from that store, a business card from Cat Connection on the back it says From Your SS
I thought I saw Colorado somewhere but I think I was dreaming cause I don't see it anywhere now, The receipt has no name who the sold to. I suck at this now
At first I thought it was a BD gift from My sister so I ripped it open. Any takers out there wanting to help me out
This is a slick person right here

Abby and I received some wonderful SS gifts!


First the chocolate portion, since I know that is all most of you care about!


We received 3 Charlie Brown cocoas, and a chocolate Santa



I received some super-cute kitty socks, a snowman candle holder with a Yankee Candle cinnamon stick votive, a snowman ornament, and a snowman container ( I love snowmen) , a St. Louis Rams shotglass (I collect them), and a hand care kit, which will come in very handy when I am gardening.




Abby did quite well herself!!!

She received "3 Bathed Mice" which is a tin of Catnip with mice in it, 3 more mice, 2 flutterballs, and a very strongly scented crinkly catnip sack.





You can see pics of Abby with her toys, and tissue paper

I want to say a big THANK YOU to my SS Laura (goosehazel). Thank you Laura!
We love it all




I do feel like I am forgetting about something



Ahhh yes, the gnome




Thanks again Laura!
