Hey there! WHAT DID YOU GET???

Santa's Little Helper has not yet received her Secret Santa package yet, but she HAS received some goodies from "Secret Sweetie Santas":

- a nice, warm, and PRETTY hat and glove set, just in time for this "blizzard" we are supposed to be getting:

- a lovely necklace from another "unknown" Santa:

- and a beautiful pair of earrings from yet another Santa (sorry, but I couldn't manage to get a photo of them on me that wasn't out of focus and/or didn't make me look like a total doofus.)

There are still a few people who haven't gotten their gift, and I haven't heard from their Santa or misplaced a PM for them. If you haven't mailed your package or PMed about a problem, would you please let me know so I can tell your recipient? Thanks.

And one more thing:

from "me and mine." (HINT: I'm the little one.)

I'm super stoked to get it too. We're going to be doing some traveling over Christmas to see family. I'll have to take some photos of Seattle, the San Juans and what not for you guys. I miss living on the coast of the PNW. It's a wonderful place to call home!

Deb- You are my secret Santa? I thought you were from Rhode Island? The post mark was from Florida I think. I'm so confused............. Are you a snow bird down there in the south getting a tan?

Yup, I am your secret Santa. The postmark was from RI, but the return address was FL -- my dad and step mom's address. I did it to not make it so obvious. Guess it worked, huh?

Have a great day!

Well, how about something from Santa's Little Helper?

http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/funny-pictures-kitten-hug.jpg

a Hug Certificate for You!!!

If I could catch a rainbow

I would do it just for you

and share with you its beauty

on the days you’re feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain

you could call your very own;

A place to find serenity,

A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles

I would toss them in the sea,

But all these things I’m finding

Are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair,

But let me be what I know best,

a Friend who’s always there.

This is a Hug Certificate!!
