Thanks so much Nurseangel, it was SO much appreciated! It was pretty much my only gifts this year, you've made me very happy!

You are very welcome.  The t-shirt came from the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival (the craft fair with a camel) in North Wilkesboro.  That area is probably most well known as the former home of the IMHO wrongfully convicted Tom Dula (Tom Dooley) made famous in a song.

My parcel arrived today! I'm so thrilled! 

Whoever put it together is just so clever!  I have no idea who it is... there was no card or hints!  All I know is North Carolina.  I checked out the thread where people said they didn't put a card in but they come from a long, long way from the address... :scratch:

Here's Nilah looking intriqued..  and Sundar trying out his new Snoozzys...

Nilah has sussed out the Kitty Kisser treats which were a BIG HIT! (I haven't seen anything like them in Aus):
View media item 142706

Finally all unwrapped, and such a wonderful lot of gifts!  So much thought has gone into finding really suitable things.  There is even a gorgeous little angel made from raw cotton... I drove down the centre of the state recently, and there was a whole lot of cotton all over the side of the road that had come off the trucks and I thought 'there must be something I could do with that' and collected it.  And now I know!!
I love the frame, the luggage tag, book marks, great little 'what goes around comes around' gift bag, little olive oil soap and farm cards.

And the cats are absolutely thrilled with their presents.. they have both crashed out on the bed after treats and...

...getting to know their new toys.  I wish I had video as Sundar just went mad with the squeaky mouse... I've only activated one, so I can start up the other one when the first runs out of squeak!  They are really novel.. never seen anything like them here. 
And you can see they loved the balls. 
The dangly butterfly I'm saving for later.

So thank you so much Secret Santa, whoever you are!! 

A hint would be wonderful Mani. As you guessed it was me.. I 'm sorry it didn't 't get thee for Christmas Day but am relieved it got there. Happy to hear both human and cat gifts were appreciated.

 

[nurseangel]

I love that Karma bag!  It's so cute. 

 

[mani]

It was actually really lovely to get an 'after Chrismas' surprise!

It was so much fun opening everything.  You did brilliantly!

BTW my cats are now besotted with Kitty Kissers... what on earth is in them?  I've never seen such a reaction from Nilah, who is a really picky eater.  She was trying to break through the package as soon as it was unpacked and now she keeps looking at me with  'give me Kitty Kisser' eyes.

Thank you, Cattybird... my first TCS SS experience has been fabulous! 

 

[yayi]

Your SS Hint: Tweet Tweet Tweet

Great hint! 

 

[mani]

Great hint! 

Yes, thanks for the tip, Nebula.

 

[gemlady]

And Jan, you make some awesome jewelry! 

The jewelery is awesome , Thank You Jan and the candy is so Yummmmmmmmmmmy

THE CHOCOLATE HAS BEEN FREED!!!!!!!

Thank you for the compliments. :blush2: Most of the pendants are made with fibereye, a man made product. Ya like that "one carat/carrot" pendant? :lol3: The mini lariats can be attached to your cell phone, or zipper pulls or purse or whatever. I just realized that the nephrite jade stone in the cat pendant is probably from British Columbia.

 

[zohdee]

Yummy!!  The chocolate covered pretzels were eaten...in one sitting!  The kitties have been playing with all their new toys and snacked on the kitty treats.

Thank you!!  But I need a hinty on who my SS is!

Hey Zohdee

Nobody contacted me to snoop for them regarding you!! LOL so sorry!!!

To everyone else, I am already planning next year's bombardment (is that a word) LOL I know this was my first time doing SS but I loved it! The best part is seeing everyone else's reactions to their gifts!! Loads of fun! Can't wait-- How long until we get another name? hehehe
