I got my SS gift today too!!! I will post more info tomorrow as I'm a bit tired!!
I have to hide the chocolates from Neil though!!
I am a bit concerned that my SS hasn't gotten my package though as I mailed it USPS Priority Mail.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Your not seriously gonna make us wait are you? That would be just wrong! I hope my recipient opens right away!

Neet I have a picture for you from Takoda! He was a bad boy yesterday and ate all my stickers off my book-marker! Well he didn't eat them but he pulled them all off!

I've been very good, reading my way through the posts since I was last on. Not reacting to any - even Karen's so-called angelic demeanor (

), but REALLY EVA! This sent me right over the edge!

I have asked Sarah if she was my SS and she has come forward and confessed!

I may take you up on it. I'm going to try to find it here first.
Again Thank you Sarah!

It is cat food. My crew seems to think it's the next best thing!

Yaay Sarah! Great job on Eva's gifts! Don't make her give the gnome to Bad Auntie Karen, though!

I opened my box last night. (I've been so swamped at work all day I haven't been able to get on, though. Nasty people...expecting me to work!

)

The box contained five gift bags...


Which contained all of this!!

I got two adorable wooden cows to add to my kitchen collection, some wonderful smelling Sweet Pea body lotion (which I'm wearing today), a bath puff, a box of yummy Lindt chocolates, a cow magnet, an armadillo magnet (which had DH rolling with laughter because we have running joke about armadillos), and a beautiful framed quote:

I like the quote so much I put it on my bedside table so I could see it first thing in the morning or last thing at night.

My kitties got a whole smorgasbord of yummy kitty treats, including their most very favorite Wildlife Salmon and a bunch of catnip. They also got a bag of new catnip toys, which are already a big hit with Forest. (Tailer's too busy trying to get at the treats to play with toys, and Harvey's still too mad at me for taking him to the vet yesterday to come out.) I posted some pics of the boys with their presents here: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=108465

My clue was four pictures of four beautiful kitties...

It's Java, Cable, Pixel, and Chip...which makes my Secret Santa Laureen!!

Thank you so much, Laureen!! We love everything!

Wonderful gifts!

I found something at my door today...

:::skips around in a circle and sings:::

and it had my name on it...

:::la-la-la:::

and it is from :::sings: MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, ENGLAND, across the atlantic seeeeeeeeeea:::

and I have no idea yet who sent it to me...BUT...

there are more pressies coming!!!

This was package # 3 of 3... where are numbers 1 and 2? What could be in them? Who is my unbelievably wonderful SS? Hmmmm?

Whoever you are, oh my goodness what FUN!!!

A few minutes later: I think I know who my SS is... :::la-la-la:::

 

[halfpint]

Well are you going to bust it open? lol

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Please don't dissapoint us!

 

[kluchetta]

Surely you don't expect her to open #3 of 3????!!!

She has to get #1 and #2 first!!

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Whatever!

Open Open!

Now we know she probably wouldn't get the best clues till last

Maybe last is better lol

 

[gingersmom]

It is way past my beddie-bie, so I'll leave you (taunt you?

)with this: Already, we have been very spoiled.

Ginger and Ferris helped me open everything, I have piccies, but you will all have to wait until tomorrow to see what we got, as I am just too bushed to spend two hours uploading - but be forewarned, I have lots of pressies, therefore lots of piccies of happy kitties.

Stay tuned, SS fans...

Oh... here's the inside of the card I got:



Now I'm no longer so sure I know who it is from.

Hmmmm....So far, other than the return addy being Manchester, I have zero clue...

 

[starryeyedtiger]

You are soooooo evil for not opening that tonight!!! Not fair!!! Open!! Open!!Open!!

 

[sar]

Excellent!

More fantastic gifts!

I look forward to seeing more pictures, though!

 

[lisasha3]

I think it FINALLY came!!! After the postman teasing me/taunting me with 4 other deliverys this week I was expecting nothing else but my daughter called me last night very excited and said there was a box at the door!

I'm so excited I can't contain myself.

I wanted soooooo bad to open it last night but it was 10pm and my 12 year old is just as into this as me so I promised her I would wait so she could open it with me. So she begged me last night to open it this morning before school.

(We barely get to school on time without opening presents so that's not an option).
So now I have to torture myself staring at it till tomorrow cause my daughter and I will be gone all day today then she's got a dance tonite and I've got my company Christmas party.
ARRRGGGGHHHH....the torture!!!!

I AM SO EXCITED - THIS IS TRUELY THE BEGINNING OF CHRISTMAS!!!!!
YEAH!!!

BTW - the only thing I know is that it's from WI.

NO HINTS anyone! If you guys think you know - I don't want any hints. I'm gonna figure this one out on my own. I am not totally familiar with where everyone is from, so it might take me some searching.

 

[sar]

How exciting!

That really is going to be torture for both of you!

I think you should both have set the alarm clock for an hour early this morning!

 

[miss mew]

A little birdie told me that my SS gift has arrived, so I'm going to check my mail when I get home from work.

You sound like my daughter. She can't get up on time to save her life, but she told me she would get up early this morning to open it. I just want to have the time to take pictures and enjoy it though without having to run out to work and school.
It's killing me!!! I can see the box from where I'm sitting.

Not sure if I'll be able to hold out till tomorrow. Have to though....
