Oh I'm so glad you got it in time, and that you liked it! I DID make the bows, and I customized the Nook cover just for you! I saw that cat fabric and just KNEW I had to make something for you out of it, then I discovered your love of reading and well..... the cover was bornGuess what I got this morning?!
MY SS PACKAGE!!
And, since my Secret Santa put her name on the address label, I do know who my package came from: sillyitiliangrl (a.k.a. Danielle)! I couldn't be happier with my Santa or the fabulous gifts she got for me and my kitties. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My camera is charging at the moment so I don't have photos just yet, but rest assured that I did open up my box as soon as I had it in my hands!
Here is a list of what my AMAZING SS got me:
I will post pictures as soon as my camera is fully charged and I am home from doing some last minute shopping. But, I wanted to make sure to post here to let everyone know that I received my package. I am so grateful for everything and so thankful for the kindness of my SS. So much thought and care was put into my package and I want you to know that it is so very appreciated. I love everything and thank you from the bottom of my heart! But, keep posted, I promise to share pics later on!
- 3 pairs of socks (one that is red with gingerbread on them and two super soft striped pairs -- one blue purple and green and the other red, yellow, and pink)
- two sets of holiday window clings with photos of adorable puppies and kittens alongside of Christmas decorations
- a gift box that contains 12 different nail polish shades (I love all of the colors, by the way)
- sugar-free fudge dipped vanilla wafers
- a magnetic to-do list and calendar (along with a good luck token which is now in my bag so that it is always with me)
- 12 yummy hot cocoa packets
- a stocking full of kitty toys which I know my cats will love
- a new cover for my Nook (which I absolutely adore -- funny thing, I was going to go out today to buy a new cover for my Nook since mine got beat up over the last year; but, I'd never ever have found anything so perfect (it's so cute -- kitty themed and sparkly
))- 3 bows which are extra special since I'm fairly certain that they were handmade by Danielle
Thank you so very much, Danielle. I love everything and couldn't have asked for better gifts or for a better SS!
Those slippers are awesome!
I was so excited to pull in my driveway and see a package waiting for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm pretty sure my Secret Santa is Pollyanna. (Sesselja)
Teddy, checking out the unwrapped presents.
Milo, checking out the Christmas fun!
Pictured Above: Beautiful pictures of Iceland, Handmade slippers, some cat toys, a piece of Icelandic Volcanic Rock and ash, stationary, a magnet, and some delicious homemade chocolate in a gorgeous box. (I'm sure I left something out... )
My feet are so warm!
Again, thank you. I absolutely loved everything. All of your cards were so beautiful. I love receiving homemade things. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into my gifts. I also loved the items that represented Iceland. I am so excited to have a piece of your home in mine.
Yay! I'm so happy you and Kitters are enjoying all of the goodies!! I love the pictures of her helping to open everything :lol3: You guys were so fun to shop for; I was excited to have you this year,since you were my SS a few years ago!! Hope you guys have a great Christmas!YAY!! Me and Kitters opened our pressies from our SS this evening!
On the box were the cutest reindeer puff stickers. Glitters and so cool!
Since we got the box Kitters has been sleeping under the tree "protecting" it.
She decided that today was the day we were going to open it, so she sat on it and said "let's do this mommy!"
Kitters helping open the package.
Once opened she chose to sit in the box and check out the pressies.
And maybe try to eat the ribbons.
Here is our whole haul!
We certainly got spoiled! Kitters certainly approves of her toys
and the BOX
Kitters got:
Two kinds of treats, a mylar crinkle ball, a purple kong kitteroo, a catnip mouse with a great tube of catnip, 2 pop up play cubes and a thing of fancy feast food!
I got spoiled galore!
A word search book, a soduko book, really nice smelling body spritz, a little hand sanitizer, peppermint body wash, a bath sponge, lipgloss, 3 sets of fuzzy socks, an eye mask, hello kitty gel pens, nail files, kitty frame magnets for the fridge, a cute little snowman that's like a bobble head and will dance with the light, stickers with my initial on it, a big hair clip, a hanging advent calendar with mints in each day and gobs and gobs of goodies!!!! Peppermint bark, some super delish looking chocolate dipped graham things that I'm about to dip into. Lots of peppermint candies, and Mrs. Fields goodies and candies made right right my SS lives! Even my DH got his own chocolate bar.
There were clues on each package with the names of the critters in the house but the one thing that I KNEW instantly as to who my SS was:
I know that puppy!
My SS was Nikki! (StarryEyedTiGeR)
Thank you so much Nikki! We both love everything so so much! Kitters was sleeping in her box in a catnip induced coma, and I "might" have already maybe, just a little bit tried some of the yummys!
Those that might have missed it earlier, we also received an ornament a few weeks ago too!
And the update now, since it's taken me forever to post this (down an eye right now) Kitters is now awake in her box just touching all her stuff, including the little plastic ornament that was on her package!
The tutorial explains how to do it.Does anyone know how to upload pictures from Photobucket on here? It doesn't seem to work like it once did. Thanks!
Keira is a little demon child!Keira is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I love her markings!! And now I must find out who your ss is so I can see where she got those catnip pads! My cats would LOVE those!
Merry Christmas everyone! I love seeing all of the amazing gifts!
