The Official "I received my SS gift" Thread

[icklemiss21]

I think Betsy said she sent it in late October, so I guess 3 months in the norm, we will have to start the SS earlier even next year!
Betsy will be relieved!

I'm still in shock in how long it takes stuff to get there! I'm so glad to hear everything arrived!

It doesnt usually take 2-3 months to get here. I have had alot of parcels sent here over the years from the US & UK and often they only take 2-3 weeks (thats not going express either). The last one I got sent for my birthday from the US took 8 days.

I think its more the fact that its Christmas and our customs is strict (they open majority of parcels) so I guess it just takes longer at that time of year.

Yay!!! I KNEW it! I KNEW Jean would get her package, because no one deserves it more!!!!!

P.S. I think they row it over in a rowboat, LOL.

Alright!!!

I am so happy it finally arrived!!!

Great gifts!! That was really special to get the angel from her nana!!

 

[clixpix]

Yay!

I'm so glad for both of you that the package finally arrived!

Those sound like great presents! Betsy, you were very generous!

It's me again - as I was cleaning out the packing that Betsy had used in the box I found another little gift wrapped in white tissue paper - the same colour as the rest of the packing so I missed it the first time.

So here is the very last gift Betsy sent to me - it is a beautiful little figurine of a little white cat dressed in slacks and a shirt with a duck standing beside it. I love it.

Thanks again Betsy - you really spoiled me and I love you for it.

I am absolutely thrilled that your package arrived!!!!

It sounds like you were quite spoiled

 

[katiemae1277]

yippee!!! those are some great gifts!! I know Betsy must be so happy that the pkg wasn't lost

 

[bella713]

Wow, I was beginning to wonder if someone had stolen it! You got some great gifts. Betsy is going to be so relieved!!

 

[gemlady]

Another package delivered!!! Kind of makes for Christmas year round!

 

[halfpint]

Ah Helen don't dance yet, Is mine the only one still out there somewhere

If I thought some poor hungry kitties got that box I wouldn't feel so bad, But I know Tolly and crew didn't get there's yet

 

[gingersmom]

You bet your sweet buppies that I'm relieved!!!

BIG TIME!!!

There should have been two little figurines - maybe customs kept one?

But other than that it sounds like everything was intact - I hope the mug was in one piece - it has a black cat on it to represent the Witch City.

I'm SO glad you like everything, Jean, and I know I spoiled you a bit, but I thought that you needed it.

(Oh yeah - that little green candle? It's a gnome spell from a witch shop.

I couldn't resist.

I forget - she'll have to look at it to tell us, but I'm pretty sure it is a good luck spell.

Hi Everyone,

Just read Betsy's post above and went back to the box

and there still hiding in the packaging was the other little cat figurine - it is now sitting on my computer desk with the first one.

Sorry about that - I will have to learn to look in packages better.

Again Betsy thank you so very much for all the time you spent in chosing the wonderful things you sent me. It is really appreciated.

Sorry our customs people held it up for so long.

Cool, you found it! Sneaky little bugger! So is it good or evil your candle???

 

[felineorc]

Sorry - forgot to answer that question too - It is a GOOD luck spell that is supposed to help me get things that I want. Cool isn't it.

Oh you are SO welcome.

And it isn't your fault that Aus customs are so picky!

BTW, there was no catnip in those mice, and there wasn't anything that prohibited maple candy in the customs regs, so I'm surprized that they held it for so very long.

I'm glad you found the other figurine! I thought they were adorable.

(Almost kept them for myself.
