Well I've narrowed it down to 25 people just by the spread sheet. But that includes people that sent packages but their recipient hasn't figured out who they are yet. I haven't gone through and tried to figure out where everyone is from yet. Haven't had time.
Problem is, a lot of people don't put their actual location in their profiles.
(Like you and me)
So when I have time I'll have to start searching threads. That sounds like a lot of work!


BTW, where are you from?

Sorry to have taken so long getting back to this, but I've finally been able to download my pictures and I know who my SS is!!

Of course, when the box arrived it had to be thoroughly inspected:


When the box was unpacked, all these lovely packages were in it:


Forest had lots of fun playing in the tissue paper:


Tailer claimed the empty box for himself:


And here all the gifts are unwrapped! You can't see the jewelry very well here, but it's handmade and really lovely (and pink...my favorite color!) And those fuzzy pink socks are the warmest, softest ones I've ever had. I even brought them on vacation with me and I'm wearing them now. (It's chilly in Phoenix today.)


Tailer really loves the homemade toys:


The pink pad was intended for my poor, ailing boy Harvey. It means so much to me that my SS thought of him. Unfortuantely, though, Forest snatched it for himself and won't let poor Harvey near it!



And even my new Texas Santa feels right at home...he's already found a friend!



Thank you, thank you, thank you to my wonderful Secret Santa....CarolPetunia!

You're right, once you get a parcel in the air with some tracking on it, the price skyrockets, but to my mind, it's cheap insurance, and it also means you can expect quick enough delivery that you don't need to worry about including (somewhat) perishable items.

I received my SS package today - my recipient was Laura (Goosehazel)

I will upload the pictures when I have more time - I have to go to work soon.


In it I received:

Yankee Candles!

A lovely santa tin that will be put to good use!
A cute journal with a cute kitty on the front.

Lots of cat toys - Peedoodle is playing with them right now, but Kahu is too busy sleeping.

RANCH DIP!!!!!!!!!!!
Hubby and I will be fighting over it - his eyes lit up when he saw it!

Thank you so much Laura!

Did you mean your SS was Goosehazel? You would be the recipient.

I wish at the time I had the extra money to go the one more step up, but it was almost triple and I've never had a problem with Priority Mail... darn it!!!!

Cool new gifts received guys!
I love the pink pad and socks!!! That Santa sure is Rockin' too!!

It's ok... I'm sure your recipient understands. I know I would if it were me... that is IF it were me, which we know it isn't me because you live in my birth state and my SS lives in another country. So it's NOT me!
