There was a name and address missing from the cards list.  Thank you Sunni0913 for catching my mistake!  I have sent her info to everyone participating in the cards, so please check your messages.

I've started the hunt but haven't made any purchases just yet. List is coming together. 


For those curious: Kitty in my pic is current furbaby, Mew, curled up in a box far too small for her. Ha! "If I fits, I sleeps!"

 

NASCAR fan (particularly JGR pit crews - many friends there), diehard UM Wolverine fan, animal lover, car girl, cookie baker, singer, bargain hunter. Yep. That about covers it. lol :cool:

My ornaments are packaged up and will go out in the mail tomorrow.  Hopefully she will have them before she puts up her tree :).

 

Secret Santa is a different animal.  I've had so many ideas, but none of them are working out so far.  Hopefully real inspiration will strike.

Okay, took care of  the OE  last weekend. So watch SS it is your turn and I have picked up a few things already so I am hoping my plan stays the same and I can complete my box by the end of next week.

As everyone starts shipping, please don't forget to PM me with your tracking numbers.

 

Also, and I'm starting this one early, PLEASE post when you receive your gifts, even if you are not planning to open them yet. :)

Man, one of the hardest parts is finding something you think they'd like, but then thinking "ya, she probably already has that".

Ain’t that the truth!!!!! Then I tell myself that “I wouldn’t mind having a duplicate of this item” while I’m standing in the store while my brain plays tricks on me. Still gatheing goodies for mine. :)

I try to think outside the box and sometimes it's hard, but at the end of the day it's really the thought that counts (so cliché lol)...someone who I've never met (and most likely will never meet) will receive a gift that I took the time to hand pick and send to them and vice versa...it brings me joy...

So true....I figure as long as I send it with love it will be received in love....but the second guessing is the hardest thing to overecome

I think the challenge for my shopping this year is that I’m not knowledgeable about some of my recipients interests. It’s been an educational experience while trying to shop and make informed decisions for gift buying.

Finally made the first purchase for my SS. Got some more to add to the pile, but feels good to have it started. :)
