'The Message'


Goodbye and Good Riddance 2014: so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye...  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.

Buh bye, 2014.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

Two more postcards, postmarked Cedar Rapids, Iowa!

A little worried whether or not my Santee got their package.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh yay!! Glad everything got there okay. I got the wrapsack in last year's box, I think, but never got around to going online and entering myself in. Oopsies.

The tea is from my friend Rickie and his spouse Christopher's farm. The light switch plate was decoupaged by my friend Crystal, a photographer. I hope Cagney likes the treats! They have another kind, more biscuit-y made with oats and such and Frankie just gobbles those down, so those should be good. As for the plaque, I stumbled over it months ago and immediately thought of you. And then when you ended up being my giftee... I had to get it for you.

I got the jars at World Market, but you can find them online, too, if they work well and you want more. You can also buy replacement seals for the glass jars if those wear out.

Much love to you, I had a wonderful time being your elf.

With the Wrapsack site you can put the location of the person that sent it to you in when you register.

I wrapped up and boxed my Secret Santa presents! I will get them in the (Priority) mail on Monday.

I feel so proud of myself for finally getting that done!

Punishingly Intricate

Oh my gosh, so many presents and mysterious cards and return addresses (including msbelle's who I'm pretty sure is just a helper) but no clue as to who my gifter is! 3 little Kahlua coffees, a sweet little lavender soap, sweet little socks that say "you're beautiful, don't change", a wood animal magne5 craft kit, jar of Texas salsa, bottle of Texas Gold bbq sauce, and a first novel, a mystery by M.P. Cooley who I feel like I should know?? So mystery!!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Not a helper it was me, I forgot a note. The Texas food shod be the giveaway. MP Cooley used to post here. We went to college together and that is her first novel.

I am really glad the bottles did not break.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was gonna say -- that sounded like a pretty msbelle selection!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

According to the Israeli post office, the package has been in the U.S. since December 21st. So... I guess my giftee should receive it any day now.

(my gift will never be anonymous. They're asking me to put my name and address on the mail).
