I have to send out a huge thank you to my SS, Kikki! :clap: :clap: :clap: :cloud9: I just received my package. Yay!

I love, love, love the earrings that your friend made. What a lovely gift. I also adore the ornament made out of horseshoe nails. It's so cool. The kids put it on the tree along with the little purse ornament. Sophia has adopted the red satin "chinese food" purse, although I'm sure there will be a fight over it later.

Kikki, I hope you, Woody and your dogs have a wonderful holiday! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you like them! Her business has just rocketed it this year - she works out of a really cool studio/shop and has jewelry in some of the coolest places in Jackson. I think her work is so neat. I hope you enjoy them.

I hope that the girls are doing ok dealing with the news of your poor Boston. I haven't checked that thread tonight but what a downer for the holidays. I too am dealing with a little animal stress this week, though not as severe and I don't have kids to worry about, but its never easy, and only that much harder this time of year.

zbar - you are wonderful!! Thank you so much for my big box of goodies. I was so excited I ripped it open immediately (poor Fed Ex guy thought I was insane)
There are a gazillion neatly wrapped presents. I am trying to pace myself and save a little something for Christmas but I could not resist peeking in a pretty pink bag. A dragon! Who would have guessed that I like dragons!!! I am looking forward to checking out the webkinz.com. I need another dragon world to play in. Thank you so much.
I noticed a present for the new kitty and the dogs. The kitty is exploring the box as I type!
I will take photos as I open gifts.
Thank you so much zbar! You are the best!!!
Merry Christmas
Yay! :clap: :clap: :clap: So glad it got there safely. Well my daughter is addicted to these webkinz and when I saw the dragon I was like Holy cow I have to to get that for miss Glenhill! Have you opened the other stuf?? go ahead I dont mind. ;)

Let me know what you think of the rest of the stuff, :clap: :clap: Oh and yes you better go ahead and give those critterrs their pressies!

YAY I am so happy it got there! I was wondering the other day but just couldnt log on to TOC due to too much work :no:

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! :hug: :hug:

zbar - I could not wait any longer. OMT - you are a fabulous Secret Santa.

I am a die hard Dallas Cowboy fan. Zbar gave me a beautiful shirt with Dallas Cowboys in sparkly writing. I love it!!
My dogs were going insane when I reached in and found 3 fuzzy, squeaky dog toys. You made their day! Lilly the doxie beagle is on my lap guarding them all right now. She is not a good sharer.
The cats scored 2 big bags of kitty treats! You would think I have not fed them in a month the way they attacked those goodies. Verrrrry happy cats.
Then came the good stuff for me. Yummy chocolate aligators (solid chocolate - no gators were harmed in the making of this gift!) Yummmmmmm. I love chocolate. Then I opened a bottle of the most fabulous smelling body mist. I have already had to fight my 19 y.o. daughter for that gift. She has a fragrance radar and loves body mist.
Finally a 2009 horse desk calendar. I am so ready for 2009 now.
Thank you so much zbar. You are the bestest SS ever!!

Whoops.. figure I should copy and update here what I put on the Elf thread..

I gots a box! A big pink.. no no it's brown.. box!!!! I already opened up my first box (bad rash little pony!!!) so this oe gots to wait two more days.

I maybe gave it a little shake at the post office and asked my post mistress what she thought was in it, though. Hey, us ponies aren't known for our sublime patience.

Update- I took everything out and put it under our "tree". Our new mini doxie (for whome we haven't yet picked a name, although oddly she answers to Foxy and Cleo?!)has definately decided which is HER gift. Judging by the way she sniffed it all over, nearly snarled at dear Arthur when he mistakenly came near HER gift, pointed her little pointy snout pointer at it for a good 10 minutes and is now laying near it whining softly. Awww she loffs it already :cloud9:

I can make it till Christmas- I wonder if she can? :teehee:

Maybe it's one of the bunnies? Did Petrie come visit us for Christmas? Doxies are rabbit dogs, ya'know :rofl: <- ok not funny!)

Thanks You my Elf-er and Elf-ee ImJumpin!!! I will post an update and piccies when everything is opened!!!

OMT - I have the best Secret Santa (though I like to think of her as the Great Elf :teehee: )of all - glenhill. Thank you Genevieve! :clap: :clap:

I have four new Starbucks bearistas! :cheer: Talk about an elf who went overboard! My this year's fave, the 2008 Halloween, which is a bear in a pumpkin suit, carrying a pumpkin to trick or treat. A Christmas bear, which is a bear in a snowman suit, complete with carrot stick nose on a string around his head - and holding a Christmas ornament! And, Olympic fan bears! A bear couple, dressed to watch sports, complete with Olympic pennants. Adorable; I'd not even seen those and they are too, too cute.

And this was after I opened the candles, the turquoise colander ( :cloud9: ), and the gorgeous tea towels. And doesn't include the overly generous Starbucks card Genevieve sent Mr. Coriander, which we are both enjoying. It has been an absolute bounty of generosity, and I am so appreciative.

THANK YOU, GREAT ELF!

Yippee!! I got a package from my favorite FedEx guy...and it was from Dover [so.....what's not to love, right??]!! With a great navy blue saddle pad that I need need need because my mare is always filthy and I just can't keep up on the laundry! In the summer she is cleaner but sweaty, and in the spring & fall she is MUDDY.....so every ride is a new dirty adventure. :mallet:

Now...my elf sent it with her real name so I am stumped :huh: ....but have a few ideas for figuring it out!

And she tells me there is more to come.....so excited!!! :clap:

Thank you!!!! :cheer:
