they were so generous they don't deserve this :( edit: ???

- Didn't she say she was leaving? I think she may have self-frozen.

I tried to thank everyone individually for my gifts, but there's a 99% chance I missed someone because that's how I roll. So...Thank You for my gifites! I love them all. :)

wait did she? :x

I think so...I know I went to thank someone for my gifts and the user profile said she was leaving and I think that was her.

Hello Sharks!

Thank you so much for the gifts.

I hope everyone had a great time and had a wonderful holidays!

The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love and of generosity and of goodness. It illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world's busy life and become more interested in people than in things.

Good afternoon sharks!

about 2 rows (a third) of my gifts were in blue and yellow cracked ornaments xD I better change my siggy... thanks for the giggles and gifts.

Seasons greetings and merriment!

swims past Hello and hope you are all having a great holiday time!

As I am running between houses and internet connectivity, I've not even opened my gifts yet!

Hopefully be back to normal on Wednesday. Very excited for gifts!

Will do proper replies then. Have a good one! :)

That's ok, you'll get to it when you can. I got a tablet for Christmas and did all my quests on it last night but it was a pain to do anything in my inventory. Kept adding items to my wishlist instead of giving me the options for that item.

The cat doesn't care about his gift when its just cat treats. My husband and I got his a catnip filled toy rat, about 6-7 inches in length, and the cat was sniffing around under the tree. Then he went crazy when I unwrapped it for him. I hope all went well for you around the dogs, the holidays aren't fun when you are bothered with a cold or allergies.

I ran out of time to completely finish my husband's gifts. I got one done, but only had the outline done for the other. So I gave him both and told him he could decide how he wanted the other one. He wants the Darth Vader outline filled in with grays and reds, so that will be my next project. I'll try to get the pictures uploaded to my DeviantArt account and I'll get the link added here, once I do. We only have Netflix to rely on at the moment as we didn't want to spend over $100 for cable and internet combined. My husband steams the tv shows that he watches, and I just wait for them to be uploaded to Netflix, unless its Ghost Adventures. Speaking of which I have probably have 2 or 3 episodes to catch up on for that show.

I spent a day in Galway walking around and found a little second hand shop that had some really great deals. I ended up buying a nice shirt that looked new. I also bought my claddagh ring from a little jewelry shop there. My mom and I are going shopping tomorrow in one of the big towns that's an hour away from us. We'll hit all the thrift shops and after Christmas sales. Its always to best time to pick up decorations for next year!

I've got a shoe box filled with patterns that my mom drew out. I need to look through those again and sort them. The older patterns from my grandmother are in a plastic zip-lock envelope in my sewing binder. But I don't have anything for the embroidery patterns that my grandmother drew out on old grocery store advertisements when she was younger (they are huge!). Yes, that's something I never thought of. And that's where Youtube is helpful, because those videos are free and you can jump around videos to find what you need. The paid-for class that I got for free on Craftsy might be good and it might not be. I can't remember if it teaches a traditional way to make a wedding ring quilt or a newer way.

Whenever my husband and I have friends over, we always pull out Wii games. Now we have a Gamecube with 4 controllers, so it will be easier to play those games as well. We just need to get more multiplayer games for both of those systems. The PS4 isn't the greatest for multiplayer with friends, unless its online. I've got a bunch of games that I wish I could play with multiple friends at once. Around the holidays though, its mostly board games that we play. I finished that quest Saturday afternoon! I'm so glad I'm finished with that little quest line. The rewards for it sucked though and wasn't worth all the time and frustration. Most of my gaming time has been spent with the Dragon Age games. I've played through the first two games twice and I'm working on my 3rd play-through of Inquisition (will only be my second full play-through though, system ate my second one). Skyrim would be the other game I've spent many hours on, I played that for at least three hours most nights when my husband and I started dating.

I've never played any of the Prof. Layton games, but I've always been interested in them. I'm a little stingy when it comes to buying games, I prefer to buy them used and if they are at a decent price. I've only bought 2 games on the day they were released, Dragon Age Inquisition for the PS3 (paid for the whole thing with trade-in credit) and then Dragon Age Inquisition Game of the Year edition for the PS4. Video games aren't cheap and their prices are getting a little ridiculous.

Now off to sort through everything in my inventory from quests and maybe go do today's quests!

[edit]

Ooooh I'm getting so much subq stuff from the free shop! Anyone else getting lucky?

hugs I hope things will be fine then!

another stack of snowballs to throw - I really want to reach the 2500 part of the achievement, so I am steadily throwing 100-200 each night XD

Carrie Fisher died..... What will they do for Princess/General Leia now? 2016 really has been a suckfest of celebrity deaths.

Site is still a bit laggy for me, so hopefully I'll be able to do all my thank yous once it's gotten a bit better.

But, in a bit of other news, here's all the SS info!

Just to quickly explain how the lists worked. and I used a random list generator to get the list of usernames. The user above you gave you gifts, so for the Baby Sharks, gave me my SS gift, and I gifted and so on.

Big thank you to for all her help in organizing our first annual (or perhaps semi-annual) shark secret santa!

And of course, thank you SO much to , , and for sending me such lovely gifts!

- Thanks so much for the secret shark gifts! ^_^

Yeah, I'm really bummed after hearing about Carrie Fisher...

I just heard that. I hope Subeta does a tribute item.

I am so heartbroken :( I kept telling myself that she would get better :( I will miss her so much!

~ I hope so too!

~ I thought of you when I saw she died! I <3 your profile and wish Leia really was a rag doll.

Thanks Hun hugs It is still such a huge shock!

and hugs
