I had another fancy envelope in my mailbox today.... ANOTHER GIFT from Bluz.
This is fantastic and beautiful... I took pics of the wrapping, bag, and necklace all on their own.... but its not a necklace for me. It's a necklace for our girl doggie. Shammi looks fantastic in it. Me... um, not so much(sorry my hair isn't done and no make-up on). Bluz, thanks again!!!!

Wow, I am so impressed with that company!! I will be ordering from them again!! it was like they knew you with the wrapping lol.
I agree Shammy looks amazing - you? well hubby might like it more if that is ALL you were wearing hahahahahha.
I think that might have been day 20 so you might have opened it early lol!

"I agree! I'm blown away by how generous some riders on this train are! I feel bad/cheap! I was just excited that I got my buddy a lot of wish list stuff "

I have to agree Pammie! i feel bad/cheap that i didnt do more for Klepto!

Jez, im so glad you guys are ok. A situation like that would have scared the sh*t out of me. I wouldnt know what to do!

Day 11 brought us some La Coupe Mousse and Hairspray

Yes NO ONE should feel bad or feel as though they did not spend enough, it is the thought that counts not the money spent, plus there is many of us on this train that look forward to the advent every year just to spoil SOMEONE else

Whatever the circumstances I am sure EVERYONE on here LOVES every gift that is given because someone took the time to pick it out

For myself these are my tricks on keeping my OOP down for this train as I know I will ride it EVERY year as long as it runs - although I may not know who my buddy will be next year I already have a couple of things stashed away for him/her as I know these items are ALWAYS on someones wishlist

1. I can stack
2. Coupons with overage - i.e Tena / Nexxus - there is always 1 coupon that has crazy overage
3. $5 Kellogg's Gas cards - started traded for these early
4. Picking up things for the next years advent train on boxing week
5. SDM Redemptions
6. Being a smart shopper, NEVER pay full price

I was just going to say the same thing! With the money we save it is such a thrill to be able to do this for one another! We all have different tips and tricks. And I know we are all having MORE fun hanging out here and making some lifelong friends sharing things that I know I wouldn't be telling a lot of people.

For me Day 10 was AWESOME - 10 PAIRS of Socks!!!! my kids are always stealing my socks, I wear the ankle sport socks to work and they get so dirty!!

OK... anyone know where to find the rules on the mini train? Thinking I will jump on now that Jez opened it up, but I want to make sure I have the time to complete it.. and can't remember the rules other than there's a homemade rule!

Hi Ladies,

I have to share the most amazing painting I received in the mail today from the super talented Slambert!

When I saw the painting she did for Coyote I contacted her and asked(it might have been begging) if she would do one for hubby and I.

As most of you know.. Max is our older doggie. He has some disc issues in his back and right now we are managing just fine with medication....

I cant thank Slambert enough... I cry every time I look at this painting... they are happy tears.

Thanks for making my heart smile! xox

I was so happy with Shammi's collar that I had to write the company I ordered it from and let them know. I hope you don't mind Pumpkin I stole and sent the pic of beautiful Shammi.
If you have a pet - check out their site, it was really reasonable and low shipping to Canada.

Here is what I wrote to them

Hi there,

I just wanted to take the time to write you and thank you for the beautiful order you sent to a friend of mine for me!!
She sent me pics of the wrapping, bag and party collar and I was so happy with the care and beautiful product. I am attaching a pic of “Shammi” with her new Xmas party collar on.
I will be shouting from the rooftops up here in Canada about your website and service. It is so nice to find a fantastic company that ships very reasonably to us and your prices are fantastic too. We are going to be getting a puppy in April and I have already picked out some gems that she must have.
Thanks again,

I've already shopped for some times for my mini buddy but haven't baked the homemade items yet... (yes both edible, most likely)... failed craft attempt =(

I will bake this coming Sunday and then ship first thing Monday morning so that they arrive to my mini buddy asap... hoping the baked goods won't spoil on the way there!

[Armygirl76]

Well I didn't make it to work at all. Hoping I can get to the concert! I had a 4 or 5 hour nap, is it still a nap? And then wanted chicken noodle soup, you know, the Lipton kind. Well do we have any in the house? Of course not! I had to settle for an old veggie boulion cube and some spagetti noodles all broken up And I call myself a couponer/stockpiler! I'd better take an invetory (someday soon) and do a better job!

Oh, and I think I'm going to get a kitten this weekend... I shouldn't but I want to but then my mom's voice pops in my head telling me I have enough pets and my hands are full. But I want one! He's really cute, an abysinian/siamese cross. They look like little mountain lions! But it's the personality that gets me. Playful, friendly, cuddly and won't run away any time a strange comes in the house. Will play with the boy (thought that one I have tested yet, I'm hoping)

They are beautiful go for it (i am a bad influence) I love Siamese cats!!!
