I am going to get my SS gift this week and mail it Friday.  I am so excited!  I know exactly what I am getting them.... they said one thing that they like and they also said that they would like something from my area... well, it just so happens that something that they like is made here in my area!  I am sooo excited... Hope my SS likes it as much as I would!

P.S..... thank you agiain Okarol for arranging all of this.  I have not had much time to post, but you guys are like family to me!

Kim, wish I was next door and we could go shopping together.  I, also, hate shopping.  Don't stress and make this hard on you.  Gift card for a book or music store would work for anyone.  Remember this is FUN!!   (I say as I stress over my own shopping -  :rofl; )
