one of those table-top hooks for holding a handbag (this will come in very very handy)
I got one of those from my daughter this year! And it is indeed handy.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2010? We have a few words for you.

I have the most amazing collection of gorgeous gifts from Seska! Thank you so very much! There's an absolutely delicious box of decaf Earl Grey and English breakfast from Taylor's of Harrodsgate, by appointment to HRH The Price of Wales. Mmmmm yummy. Not one or two but FOUR articles of jewelry: a lovely wire and spread-out beaded three-strand necklace with pink, lavender, silver, and abalone beads (totes my colors!!), matching silver and abalone-bead earrings, make that two pair of earrings, one pair with a small blue bead and seed beads also; and a really lovely vintage (or reproduction, I can't tell) Edwardian chain and link and green crystal necklace with a small rhinestone-covered ball in the center. Then there's more! Oh my gosh, what a store of riches! A 1000-piece puzzle of the best of Yorkshire, and a book I am really looking forward to reading about Hearing Dog for deaf people. I live in a town where Guide Dogs for the Blind are trained, and just love stories about how animals and people develop loving and helping bonds with each other. Thank you so much Seska!
I'm a wee bit worried about my giftee. My presents were mailed on the Monday before Christmas. Have they been recieved, I wonder?

Oh, yay - I was getting worried that it wouldn't arrive (we had mail-disruptive weather just before Christmas). So glad that you liked it all! I'm really glad some of the jewellery's in your colours, too! No idea if the necklace is reproduction or real, but I saw it in a second-hand store and thought of you.

How cool is that?!
What is the title of the book, may I ask? I'd love to look it up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
No other packages received? I'm beginning to fret about mine getting where it's supposed to be.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Me too, especially since UPS says it was delivered this afternoon--left by the front door.

I'm thinking mine was lost by the post in a drift a block from the recipient's home, and won't be uncovered until April.

I was part of the slacker exchange. I was just hoping the post office wouldn't add this much to my slackage.
