The Whenever Swap :P

Ok. Here are my swap pictures. I did not take many of the kitties, as they were not being good models :rolleyes:

I got lots of very nice stuff! The kitties really got spoiled. Here we go....

My favorite thing was a long sleeve teeshirt with all my kitties names on the sleeves, and it was my favorite color, PINK! Rickie said that since it took up BOTH sleeves, that we need to downsize :p

Thank you so much Karen and Paul! We loved our stuff!

And Joey says he will share too! :p :D ;)
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/4...0AbM2LZi3bt2MA

Oh, Joey - you can have the duckie, okay? After all, the kitties got plenty of stuff! And there's still room for a kitty or two in the bed WITH Joey in it ...

Katie, so glad you like everything! And point out to Rickie that there's room for at least a couple more names on the sleeves toward the wrists ... so you aren't too full yet! ;)

Wow! Karen sure did a good! You got lots of really nice things. Joey looks so cute in that bed. I love that shirt. How'd you do that, Karen?

Hee hee - just took a fabric marker and the shirt, wrote the names out freehand in pencil on a piece of paper first, to make sure who would fit where, then just drew them onto the sleeves!

Sent today!!

I sent my package off today! I made it to the post office at 4:30, and they close at 5 :o :eek: I shipped priority so it would get there faster. It should arrive there by Tuesday *crosses fingers*!

Hope my person likes everything! :D

The person I am sending to - I am so sorry you have to wait a bit longer. I got paid today...and am still below my house payment. :( :mad:

I'll get to you as soon as I can!

The person who I'm sending too, please don't worry, it is coming, but you are very very far away so it might take awhile with the regular post.

I am a little behind in sending too. We are suppose to go into Venice mid-month and I really would like to get something from there for my person. I have everything else and it is pretty well ready to go except the 'item' from Venice. So to my person. Don't worry it is forthcoming just a little delayed. :o

We got our package!!!


AND........it came from - England!!!! Yes the 2 year old is coming out in this grown woman, but we are totally estastic!!

Well, the cats really loved the box everything came in, :rolleyes: but Tim & I had a wonderful time opening all the lovely wrapped gifts! Everything was wrapped in kitty paper, AND I got the very same kitty wrap for myself!! Yeah!

Let's see, we opened a ton of kitty toys: catnip mouses, fuzzy mouses toys that make noise and toys that don't! a key chain for me, and it was the very last gift that made me cry....................it was a cat frame, with.......my cats pictures in it! WOW!!!! How toughtful!!

After the day we had today (and yes, it was tough...) we got our mail late in the afternoon and there is was, a huge box, like I said from England - that in it self just blew our minds - and then all the toys & stuff that were in it - just made me smile and cry!

Thank you so very much my "mystery" gift person, Suzanne aka "mycayanglels" - YOU are the BEST!!!!!

I can't thank you enough!!!! I do have a ton of pictures, and will get around to posting them, but I just wanted everyone to know how nice Suzanne is!!!!


Thank you, thank you, Thank YOU!!!!!!

Bunny, Tim, Lucky, Yoshi and Taz

The box ARRIVED! WAHOO!!!

As I keep telling all of you, this is my first swap and this has been SO much FUN! Katie (kt_loves_kitties) really did put in loads of wonderful,thoughtful items, for cats, dogs, me AND my Dad! Oh Kate, you really didn't need to but how thoughtful!

I have opened everything - WITH help of course - and took 40+ photos!!! Now I just have to sort them organize them and I will get things posted.
]
I wrote above at about 3 PM. Since then, we have spent 6 hours at the ER for Dad. All is well, (he is home and grumbling as usual) but I won't be posting the pics until tomorrow (yawn).

Iam soooo Glad you and the cats enjoyed the presents :D

:) Hey Delays are always good for anyone.. My Quote of "Delays is it brings out the Anxious of Egerness to Recieve = But Having the Patience to Wait".. :D

I've got delays, too. I told Angie to expect it being delayed. I guess it's in the air. That's why I changed the name of it. It's all good. As long as everyone's happy :)

mine will take from 2-3 weeks... so.... even if you got delayed they might as well be arriving in same time periods....

lotsa new gifts at once!!...

I´ve been sooooo bad.... I really need to get my memory deloaded so I can take pics of our wonderful gifts!!!

I posted my photos here:

awww What a Wonderful thing to do! I Missed it all.. .awww :( I Hope everyone got something nice!

Hopefully I'll get my package out on friday.

I was sick all of last week so my package didn't get mailed until last Friday (2/29). My person should get it soon if they haven't already! :)

I had to delay getting my package out because of money problems. :(

I will get to the post office tomorrow, please forgive me....

We could get over a foot of snow!

;) Yes the slinky panda fell in the chair & I found it after I had took the pics.. It is hanging off one of the cat trees.. I will sure try to get pics of the babies with the catnip bag.. I tell you what they play with most is the feathers & the black yarn fuzzy & the balls.. Oh yes they have already been eating out of the green kitty dish.. Yes the pups loved their treats..

Package came last night but I was too tired to do the pics. So, we opened them up today and now I have some very happy critters.
Dasher waiting for me to open it.

You should have seen Dasher's nose working. He couldn't wait for me to get started

Doogie getting into the act.

http://www.boomspeed.com/dukedogsmom/031208_5.jpg
Here they are with all their goodies
http://www.boomspeed.com/dukedogsmom/031208_6.jpg
There was also chcolate included for me. Yum! And a cute calendar. Dasher got tennis balls and the dumbell ball thing, lots of yummy treats that I had to open as soon as we finished taking pics. Doogie got a big mouse and some cute little mice, some balls with bells and some sparkly balls. I think those are his favorite. He got really spastic with one as soon as I stopped taking pics. The fish cat food I'm sure Doogie will love. Going to open some for dinner tonight. Thanks a bunch!

Such nice gifts for all of you! I LOVE seeing the both of them in ONE photo, though I imagine getting them both to sit still on the sofa took some doing. They look so good together - with all their treats between them! ;)

;) I just Admire the last pic of the babies on the couch with such patience taking pics with all the treats there.. My babies were all over the place with their stuff.. Great Spoiling gifts..

I got the box off today! Was told it would be 10 business days...but if it's in the USA by the weekend, Saturday is a business day down there for the post office. So HOPEFULLY end of next week!

Hee hee...I didn't get a letter put in there but will send a separate one to arrive about the time the parcel does. :)

Kittycats_delight, your goodies were shipped today and it will be 6-10 days :)

SOOOO I shipped my package out today to travel to one special neighbor from the north but I remembered after I left the post office that I forgot to put the note in it :p . I hate to ruin the surprise but Kalei you presents should be too you in the next week or so.

Valerie-


Glad you, Doogie & Dasher liked their gift! It was fun shopping for you all, but I must admit......I had NO idea what to get Dasher!! Doggie shopping is a strange thing to do when you have 3 kitties!!

Have fun and enjoy the goodies!

Bunny

Haha that's okay!:) Thanks so much for letting me know, sometimes mail can be pretty slow here so no worries at all. I can't wait! :D

And to my person also I really hope it gets to you soon, you live so far away from me that it could take up to 4 weeks I think. If it takes really long I"ll tell you who you are.:p

This whole thing is definately fun isn't it:D
