I hope you're doing well, and are starting to get back on your feet again.

Thank-you so much for your vibes and concerns, we are doing much better and getting things back to normal and doing ok, now.
I didn't want to say too much incase my ss doesn't know who I am yet, but they probley do by now, But just incase, they don't I wanted to tell you that you are not mine, but I wish you were, it would aleviate a little stress about getting it mailed out, knowing how understanding you are, and wouldn't hate me for being so late! I hope they do understand and are not too upset with me being so delayed in sending it.

Me too, I still don't have any idea!!!!!!!





Dear SS, I am so sorry about your gift being so late. I am so ambarassed about it.
It will be mailed out to you no later then monday, I am so sorry. I don't know if you know I am your SS yet or not, so I won't get into many details other then I am sorry and it IS comming. I love you, thanks SO much for being SOOOO patient, I have checked your posts and have not seen any that you are upset with me and you are being patint, and I thank you for that

Just wanted you to know that I got my last package from my Secret Santa, who is Kass (Russian Blue)!!

I had an inkling of an idea from the first clue, but then she confused me (which she planned).

Unfortunately, the package is in Colorado and I'm in Illinois (Gurnee, to be exact) until Monday. Earl's grandmother passed away

so we're back here for the funeral and to help his mother clean up the house and go through things. We might, maybe, be able to head to Chicago for half a day or so, but we won't know until we get there. Which stinks beyond belief because there are some TCS members here in the area that I would love to meet (including my SS recipient Tari, and Kelly (clixpix)) and I still won't get to.

So thank you in advance for everything I will get, and for the wonderful stuff that I already got, Kass! This gives me something to look forward to after a pretty difficult end to and start to the year.

I had Kass 2 years ago, I think. Maybe 3. Something like that.

I guess it was just very memorable...

Glad you finally received it, Heidi! I thought I had to come out there myself to retrieve it from the courier and walk it over to your house. I'm never using that courier again!

Hope the parcel will bring some smiles for the New Year.

I'm sorry that there has been another loss to the family.

Sending to the both of you and a safe trip back to Colorado.

Yes, Heidi was my SS 2 years ago.

I don't think anyone here would get upset with you considering the circumstances - even if you weren't able to keep your promise. Those things happen, and it's no one's fault.

I'm glad to hear that things are improving.

I got the official word. My Secret Santa is Kelli Jo (pookie-poo)! Thanks Kelli Jo! Everything is awesome! As you saw in the pictures, the catnip was a big hit with Maxx and they both love the wand toy and laser! They play with them all the time! I wore the cute cat socks to work the other day and I really love the cat statue! And no doubt, the dove chocolates are long gone. Still have a few of the Starbucks truffles though. I had to stretch them out and make them last a long time! The mug is really nice (I love snowflakes) and I'm going to use it this morning! Thank you again for all the wonderful gifts!

Oh and sending the package from California was pretty tricky! That is what threw me off until I saw you post about finally getting a package from your problem child sister in California!

Pretty sneaky stuff!

 

[esrgirl]

I received my presents- a scarf, some gloves, two yummy candy bars, some cat nip and a cat nip pillow, and cat and dog treats. Thanks to my Secret Santa!

what, no

?

 

[kittkatt]

Stephanie (EnzoLeya), my SS recipient, was kind enough to send my furbies some kitty gifts (even though I'm her SS!), and I've been just dying to post some pix of the gang playing with the cute little catnip mice that she made for them!

But I had to wait till she figured out my identity.

Please bear with me while I do this: it's gonna take a few minutes, b/c I can only post one pic at a time. Please also excuse the poor picture quality: as usual, I had to print out the digital camera pix, then scan & upload them, b/c it takes too long for them to upload due to picture size.

Geronimo, with his head almost in the box. I think they liked the box as much as the toys!

I took some videos of them playing with the mice & the box: they're just hilarious!

Maverick:



Ricochet:



Chiquita:



Jinxy:

 

[kittkatt]

The rest of the pix are all of Geronimo. He was being a little piggy with the mice, and didn't want to share.

I did try getting more pix of the others when Geronimo decided to share "his" toys, but they were moving around so much that the pix turned out blurry.

He looks as if he's totally 'nipped out, in the second pic - the little stoner.
