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.

Java, I'm so glad you like them!

Also, I forgot to mention in the card that the socks are machine washable/dryable.

Sail, that was one of the most gorgeous cards I've seen this season. Thank you!

Heh. As befits a Slacker Santa, I have bought one thing of several that go in my Santee's gift, but haven't bought the others. And the one thing hasn't actually *arrived* yet...

I gave up on one and canceled the order, bought something a little different to replace it, finally have the gift all packed up... and I can't find the packing tape. I swear, my santee is going to think no one loves him or her. I hope the package makes up for its tardy arrival.
