Santa came!  And I am not one to wait. LOL. 

 

First, my ornaments. They could not be more perfect! I love them so much and I can't wait to dig into the cocoa packets you so thoughtfully included!

 

From Santa, I've been all set up to pamper myself while I enjoy that cocoa. I got a tumbler, a relaxation mask, a scented candle, some bath salts and a bath fizzy, a bath soap, and some fuzzy socks for if I ever get out of the tub!

 

Y'all have spoiled me, and I am so grateful.  Thank you both so so much!

    

I’m not sure I would ever get out of the tub with all that goodness!

Got my gifts packaged & all be dropping off tomorrow. I’m sorry I’m late on shipping. Please pardon me. I did receive my SS & OE goodies, OH my word !!!! I have been spoiled ROTTEN this year. My OE is adorable, it goes with my tree beautifully, Thank you to my secret OE ,thank you so much. I LOVE my Snow man ornament r. It’s pink & sooooo prettyy !!! Thank you .
to My SS I wanted to wait but what fun is that right lol . I’m like a child when it come to gifts, I just can NOT help myself. Let’s see what’s inside……***building suspense*** . 
 

 

OMG. Girl I cried, when I opened up the TS book. It’s beautiful, it is a very beautiful detailed book for a HUGE TS fan. I have almost every album so girly, you hit the nail on the head. I’m sorry I tore the adorable Mistletoe Book cover, I closed my eyes to open  it because I was soooo exited & I did not realize I tore the book cover lol. The book is still intact I promise omg . So, at some point my BF & I are going to move in together.  The Christmas tree cutting bored made me very emotional. I will save it till we move in together, it will be my very 1st item for our kitchen. The scrub sponge will be our second  item.  Needless to say the adorable sponge made me emotional as well. The bag clips will be our 3rd item for our kitchen. I’m a book ish girly. So all in all everything is absolutely perfect. 
 

thank you is not enough. You have no idea what all these precious gifts mean to me. You went ABOVE & beyond for me.  Your generosity has brought cheer & joy to my holiday season ! God bless you richly & I hope you have a merry Christmas this year !!

Tracking update - 

All ornament exchanges have been received. YAY! 

 

We have 2 SS still out. I only have a tracking # for 1 of them, but I'm confident the other one has been shipped. The one I have a tracking # for is still working its way through the postal system. Fingers crossed both of these arrive before Christmas! I'll keep an eye on them.

[Kash]

Pre/post unwrapping pics

 

Thanks so much, ytmomof4!!! Such fun stuff! Lotions are already coming in handy and I will get great use out of the pot holder/oven mitt/towel set. Those Andes mints won’t last long, either…

The NKOTB sticker was a great add-on, too - now to find it a good home on display somewhere… Merry Christmas!

 

(Cats very much enjoying chasing the balled up wrapping paper as well )

I just wanna say thanks to my SS I have enjoyed the lego sets and the soap i have sitting on my desk. It has been a very crazy month trying to support my mother while she cant work and keep up with my own little family.

I have rekindled my childhood love for Legos this holiday season while I’ve been unemployed and unsuccessful so far at finding new employment.  A couple of weeks ago Target had some of the smaller kits on a good sale and I bought four of them.  Now I have 2 vases of flowers that won’t die on me…….roses, daffodils, sunflowers and lotus flowers.  

[ytmomof4]

Sorry for the late post. Things have been crazy 

thanks so much I love everything
