When someone posts that they shipped, I always mark it off.

Did they answer all the questions in the hints thread? If you want to PM me your person, I can try to help you come up with some ideas. Reading through last year's threads of gifts received is a good way to see what people are sending as well



I got my stuff all wrapped tonight
Ok I cheated a bit and used bags
I also had LOTS of help of the furry variety, so hopefully things won't have too much cat hair and bite marks!

Using bags and tissue paper is a great shortcut when fighting off cats while wrapping! Besides, they make extra presents for the recipient's kitties to play with when it arrives!


Y'all are way too organized. Besides, in checking the Black Friday ads that have been posted on the net, there's a couple things in there that I want to pick up. And no, it's not an HDTV or anything like that.
I wish! Maybe if we hit the Powerball on Saturday...

I don't mind wrapping, used to even enjoy it, but it just seems like I don't have as much time anymore. Bags are a lifesaver!

Maybe you should start Karen's Shipping Service with the motto - It's not shipped until it's marked.

You did that last year as well.

Another one to mark off the list.

She posted some great hints in the hint thread.

I suppose you think I will let you copy off my spreadsheet?

I'd like an HDTV. I have one but it's really small.. About a 42" will work fine. If you see about drop shipping it may be cheaper!

oops, was that a hint?
Wait... you are in the US? so that means it's not me. :-( That's ok... I'll wait for whoevers get's to me!

Jill... you crack me up!


We had a book fair in the lobby of my building yesterday. I found the cutest kitty cook book I just had to get 2. One for me, one for my secret santa, one for my MIL. Wait! That's one more than I bought. Huh... Anyway, I still haven't done much shopping but I don't have a lot to buy. And even though I'm on the dark side I think I might wait unti after Thanksgiving to ship. I have too much school work due before the holiday to get much else done.

eta: I forgot to mention, they also had the local HC there with puppies and kittens. I'm glad someone asked about airholes.

Still shopping here. My SS has mentioned she is on the dark side so I have plenty of time to ship. Well into December so that she has it right before Christmas.
No darkside this year.
Aren't I a stinker.

Uh-oh! Someone better be on the lookout for wiggling boxes


I realized I had put no kitty treats in mine yet
Awful, I know! So it seems I have one more thing to shop for
Going to find a box this weekend and mail it soon!
