okok! I will post them tomorrow - I'll keep my goods and bads short!

I got confused when the card said fluffybutts and had a different picture - not Aristotle/Topaz and Jan's siggy said fuzzybutts.....

I will post pictures -

but I have to say those creme de menthe brownies were TO DIE FOR!

and I wore some jewelry the past couple of days.......


now the bad.

LOOOOOOOOOONG story short.

This has been the fall from hell. I got sick in Nov. Then my gram died, I was sick all through Dec. In fact I'm still in recovery mode. Turns out it was allergy related. I missed a week of school. I had 7 concerts (being a musician is great isn't it? :sarcasm

and on top of that I had SO many orders for my shop that I was SO overwhelmed with stuff. Then, I found out last Mon. that my job is on the chopping block for next year. So I've been attending emergency meetings here and there and doing some prep work for school board presentations to tell them they need to keep me. It's crazy - I've been there since 2003 and I'm still low-man on the totem pole in regards to seniority.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I can hardly wait to post pictures but I have to take medicine and sleep - but know that I LOVED everything!

 

[gemlady]

Sorry for the guilt trip, Renovia, but I was a bit antsy whether the jewelry was to your taste.

And I am sorry to hear you have been so sick, as well as the death in your family.

Sis makes the brownies and they were soooooo good this year!

Maybe you can PM Karen to get some hints from your SS, she does know all, tell none!

I picked up my gift at the post office today from my SS who was MonaxLisa.
She sent some wonderful items for both the kitties and I and I am sure we will enjoy them all very much.
For me she included a beautiful handmade scarf, some candles, a very nice cat Christmas tree ornament, some chocolates and a selection of several varieties of hot chocolate that I am really looking forward to trying.
The kitties got tons of treats, some crinkle toys and catnip so right now they are all under the influence.
Thanks very much MonaxLisa.

Anyhow Goldycat is my SS!! And I have several pictures but alas with dial up I will have to post in a couple of days when my connection speed increases a bit (the weather really affects it)

Anyhow my cats and their Virgina cousins have already scattered the many mousies in the package. Peanut brittle being consumed, the cat magnet handing on the kitchen door, another toy Bender has claimed as his, the native american ornament high on the tree out of all 6 of the cats reach! A church cookbook being read by my sis and mom as well.

Well done!!

Any pictures yet? I'd really like to see the furkids playing with the toys.

So sorry for the delay, but I haven't been feeling well since way before Christmas. I opened my SS gift this morning. It was the most awesome gift, we loved everything we got. Ok, for the list of goodies included in the bag:
First of all I received a beautiful Christmas card, 3 handpainted ornaments, which were absolutely gorgeous, a pottery cat ornament, cat figurine, handcrafted soap, lotion bar soap, which smell divine, Cat Fancy desk calendar, and of course a bar of dark chocolate, 4 candy canes. The kitties received 5 new toys which they absolutely love and a Boogie Mat, which has turned out to be a fight over which one is gonna play on it and I haven't even opened the cat nip on the inside. Definately, a big hit, now I'm gonna have to find out where this came from so I can at least get another one.

The card was signed by Nancy, Gracie and Casey. I'm not sure of the username as of yet, so I will have to have a hint or maybe 2 before I figure it out.

Thanks so much for the beautiful gifts Nancy. We will all enjoy them very much.

As for pictures, I made a few, but am unable to download them at the moment, computer is not acting right, but I will try again shortly.

Thanks again, Nancy, for your wonderful gifts!!

Check out this thread. I think you'll find your hint there.

Paula, Yep, it's me.

Glad you and your cats liked their presents. Although two days after I sent your package off, I discovered I forgot to pack the cats cracker treats, which my two got into!

I'm glad everything got there safely. Hope your feeling better.

No... kittys would never get into anything that wasn't supposed to be theirs.

That's definately ok, I can't imagine any other cat getting into the treats. Again, thanks, Nancy, I am feeling somewhat better today!!

Glad you liked it

I hope the pen still works, I was a little worried it'd freeze up getting shipped in winter.
