C.Kritsanta struck again.

I am totally bowled over -- it seemed more than enough bounty when Lysana sent me a Due South script, which would have made it a grand year present-wise. But when I got home from travelling last night, there was an innocent little package with a return address of "C.Kritsanta, 123 Foamy Lane, Buffistaville, CA" which I wasn't expecting in the least.

Nor was I expecting to open it and find not just a beautiful little cat-picture box, but a gorgeous cat ring and a scarab bracelet!

Here are the pictures that I posted to my lj: [link]

Thank you, whoever you are. This put the cherry on top of my holiday Sundae.

I'm gonna love it and squeeze it and call it Fred. Ok, maybe not Fred, but still.

THANK YOU

You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.

I still have to send MY Sekrit Santa present(s) but should be able to do it tomorrow!

Oh thank god. I thought I was the only one who hadn't sent their gift yet.

Christmas 2004 was really good to me. Amazon.com's wish list totally worked as a way to give Dad suggestions. He got me Jon Stewart's America the book, which totally blew me away because Dad's very conservative. And Mom rocked there were several small packages to unwrap and all told I had enough Christmas money to get a computer. I bought my last computer in 2000 (I think). Mom's original idea was to hide the gifts and leave clues, but then she just put a rhyme on one card which led us to the "life size" Raggedy Ann and Andy my brother and I got when we were little. The envelope was inside their clothes so my brother and I had to feel up Andy and Ann, which led to a lot of jokes.

I have a prezzie! From Raquel! The bestest Seekrit Santa there is!! I got Lush stuff so I can be one of the cool kids and finally try bath bombs! And glitter, and chocolate I can't read, and lip balms she made herself, as if she knew how horribly chapped my lips were at this very second! And, best of all, four bee-yoo-tiful pieces of art that I love love love and will be perfect for my very very bare wall, and that I'm going to buy frames for tonight. Thank you so much, Raquel!

So, my Seekrit Santa is the best, even BETTER than libkitty's, which was me, so that's high praise. (Note clever de-masking.) libkitty, I just couldn't wait to say that you are so welcome, and I'm go happy that you liked everything!!!!

ETA: Bwah! I checked my email AFTER posting, and libkitty had already figured me out! So, for the record, demasking was unneeded and that libkitty is smart as a tack!

Whee! I'm glad you revealed, Lilty. I actually remembered you and was afraid I'd burst with the not telling.

I too am a terrible slacker, but my package should be ready to go out tomorrow. I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

Eek! My SS has hit a little snag - I need more of something to complete it, and the store where I can get it is out. So it'll be at least the weekend before I can mail.

I am so brilliant. t /overwheening smugness

Also, and much more importantly, I am so lucky, because Lilty is wonderful.

And in other news, I think I finally get to meet buffistas when I head to the Bay Area, tomorrow! (I actually arrive the following day, as it saves me over $200 to overnight in Seattle. Unfortunately, I won't be there long enough to meet Seattle-istas.)

I'm nicely relieved that my Secret Santee got both her thingies (Hey Deena!), but nothing from my Secret Santa yet.

I'm skimming like a mad thing, because being on a computer means I'm back at work and wahhhh! I have a ton of work.

Thank you Sekrik Santa Ann W! Ann sent the most gorgeous hand knit socks, striped in gorgeous greens, cream, rust, brown. They're at home, not in front of me, but wow, did I mention hand knit? Really cool. You should see the way the curves are made. I'm a little afraid to actually wear them; they look like fabric art. And THEN, they came in the most amazing fabric wrapping - a beautiful burgundy fabric (is it organza?) scarf, with tiny jewels and beads sewn along the entire end with a colored wire, then gathered into a bunch and tied with a tassled twisted gold cord. It took my breath away, it was so gorgeous and then this beautiful handknit thing inside. Fabulous. Thanks so much! Loved the card, too.

Cards! Sail, I got your card and it's adorable. Kristin, loved your card, too.
