Um..., I have been remiss...so whoever is my SS (I was reading Goth's comments and thought I might be the guilty party she is talking about)....I'm so sorry for not posting earlier.  I thought I had filled one of these out but now can't find it..so here goes:

1.) What is your favorite dessert? chocolate, especially the dark kind or truffles.   

2.) What are some of your favorite hobbies? Quilting, card making, gardening,

3.) What colors do you like? mostly jewel tones...burgundy, blue, green

4.) What is your favorite candy?   See #1 above

5.) Do you collect anything? Old spice tins, vintage sewing gadgets, fishing Santa figurines.

6.) What is your style?  Not sure I have one in particular. 

7.) Allergic to anything?  No, unless it involves a shovel or rake.  (and then I just wear gloves)   ;D

8.) If t-shirt or sweatshirt : large (I like 'em loose)

9.) Would you like a local item from your SS's home town? Yes.

10.) Anything else your SS should know? I love "smell - good" things, fav scents ar vanilla, fresh linen, lillac.  I am not too picky and will love anything.

I have SO been looking forward to SS this year and I just can't wait!  I'm mailing my gift out this week!

My presents are on their way! 

I had to send them in two separate packages because my initial box was too small, so am hoping they both arrive, or if only one arrives it's the one with more than one gift in (otherwise my recepient is going to be a very unhappy bunny and think I'm a stingy cow!)

I got a present!!!   I love unopened boxes.  There could be anything inside.  This is my favorite package every year.  And it is the last one I will open on Christmas Day.  Now all the grandkids want to be here when I open it   :2thumbsup;    Thanks to my Secret Santa --  :cuddle;    :cuddle;    :cuddle;

Mine is ready to mail -- off to post office in the morning. Yes, I am slower than a lot of you!!  I have been juggling too many balls the past two weeks and am about to drop all of them.

I'm sorry Dean the deadline has passed for this year, but next year you just have to tell us you are in..... and have at least 50 posts so we know you are serious.  Happy Holidays anyway from your IHD Family.   :rudolph;

I know what I want to get, but I can't find it! Grr.. hate shopping.. will try one more time tonight, and if I can't find it, I have something else in mind that I know I can get... may not get it out tomorrow, but definitely this week. With the holiday in the US this week, it probably wouldn't be going anywhere till Monday anyway, whether it's sent tomorrow or Friday
