D’oh! I can’t believe how far behind I’ve gotten on thank yous! Bad Chris. No biscuit.
Elspeth sent me cat’n’music’n’yarn goodness. Thank you, E! Look at all the adorable kitty swag from the Japanese store near E – isn’t that fan the best?! It’s obscuring a stack of mix cds, because E and I share a deep passion for making mixes. And May is obscuring some nifty plum and black sock yarn.
“Why do you need all this cat stuff when you have me and the big kitty, Mom?” -Mayhem
Shush, May. Silly question! 😉 Jane sent me a very cool coffee towel, one of her gorgeous photo calendars for 2009, and a cute project bag she sewed (um, you have to sort of imagine the bag, since Chaos is obscuring it). Thank you, Jane!
“Hmph. All I like to do with coffee is stick my paw into it when you’re not looking, Mom.” -Chaos
Um, too much information there, Chaos. Ewww! The Paos sent Jeanne and I some lovely Christmas goodies. (They may or may not be regretting that as they work on the 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle we sent them). I received some fun stripey yarn, a purple notebook (made from recycled retail packaging), a Zip-It bag, and some of my beloved dark chocolate-covered rice cakes (tragically only available in the UK) (you have to imagine what they look like, because I’ve already eaten them). There’s also a book for Jeanne and I to share, which May is kindly obscuring (Notes on a Scandal). Thanks, Paos!
“This looks like it would be a fun toy.” -Mayhem
“Maaaaaaaaaaay. You’re obscuring my view! I can’t see the stuff!” -Chaos
I sent Susie that pair of Keen MaryJanes that just weren’t working for me, and she sent me a box of STR, black kitty book plates, Hello Kitty gum, Emily the Strange lip balm (Chaos is obscuring that), and hot pink feathery goodness for the kitties. Thanks, Susie!
“I wonder if I would like kitty gum?” -Chaos
“Hot. Pink. Feathers. Duuuuuuuuuude.” -Mayhem
May was so excited about the hot pink feathers that she stole the toy before I could even remove it from the packaging! Then she cried the entire time when I snatched it back and removed it from the packaging.
*hot pink feather fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* -May’s brain
Wow, nice gifties!!!
What great gifts!!
All the kitty themed things are adorable!
May is a grrlie grrl with her lovin’ of all things hot pink. I too have one of Jane’s calendars. The year wouldn’t be the same without one.
Great gifts (from what we can see past the kitties)! Love the hot pink feathers 🙂
congrats on the lovely gifts!
I’ll bet you could open a Black Cat Paraphernalia museum with all of the black kitty stuff you have. 🙂
That cat and the feathers! Silleh kitteh.
I’m not sure who’s more spoiled – the kitties or the kitty mom! Lucky you!
You deserve lots of gifts and goodies! Speaking of, I have a little package to send to you too. But knowing me, I won’t send it out for another month. Lol. Hoop got me something to share for Christmas and I can’t wait to start sharing them. Curious?
Fun gifts!
I missed the latest Keen post. Do the Dakota boots run big/small?
What wonderful gifts. From looking at them one would think that you like kitties.
i am totally behind in thank you cards, both xmas and viv’s birthday… arrgh
Obviously hot pink is May’s color. And it looks so lovely with her black fur.
Larry adores rice crackers. And dark chocolate. I think he’d be in heaven with both of them together.
Chris- The Paos are making great progress on the puzzle- I love it. I want one.
Work the feathers, May! Work the feathers!
May – those feathers look “a-may-zing” next to you! You are a pink girl that’s for sure!!
Ahh.. I see that all giftie photos come complete with giant black blobs of cat butt! They are so curious.. its so funny! Unless the bags I bring home have kitty food or ham in them Ms Kitty couldn’t care less.
Oh that’s a nice batch of gifts! Katie would be jealous of those hot pink feather!
Nice things! And I’m glad to see that May got the feathers.
I have just found the other book I was going to send you along with that one!
We might forgive you eventually.
Ah May, who doesn’t enjoy some hot pink feathers?
You know I have not one but two Japanese stores near me now!
I. Love. May.
I think I will need to find her more hot pink feathers to send just to see her brain go fizz in such a cute way.
