My Glinda too but now I want Theodora. Give me all the palettes!

 
Before:
400
After:
400
Next up: The note (which will be typed because my handwriting is verging in illegible nowadays), and it will go to the post office tomorrow! I've forgotten what some of these things are, so I hope my Santee posts about this stuff!

THIS^^^ I hope she has no clue until she gets the box. I think whoever has me  has been doing the same because I have no clue who has me just people who don't have me.

I had SO much fun putting this together :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />


So pretty!

 
I'm loving all the different wrapping, it's all so pretty and every one is unique.

I'm more of a lurker, but I've been reading the board the whole time and had a lot of fun doing that! You all are great. I should have posted more.
This. I'm an introvert offline and online.

I am super shy in real life, not on MUT.

I don't remember last year being like this *at all* in terms of just having goofy fun with the rest of the participants! I feel really lucky to have been able to be part of all of the fun this year. *grouphug*
I'm not sure I can wait another whole year to do this again...

 I just feel bad I have neglected all the other threads for this one.

 
*stamp stamp pout*  I went to the studio (Got home late last night from MX) tonight hoping that my brush holder would be out, but it's not.  Of course in the meanwhile this enabled a stop on the way at Ulta where I found a buy 1 get 1 and picked up something for my santee and something for me.   :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I also received two final packages for my Santee, so I should be almost all set!  I keep adding stuff, I'm soooo far over the limit but I hope she likes what she ends up with. I want to send it noooooow, but it will probably be next week before the most recent kiln is unloaded. 

Now to go stop the kitten from chewing the zippers off my luggage... :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

All of these beautiful packages going out, and I keep seeing more and more I want to buy. Haha!!! I just saw the Stila In The Garden Palette marked down to $20 on sephora!! Can't... buy... for...myself... yet!!!! Of course sephora sent me that darn $20 off a $50 purchase today...

Totally bought that on Friday! It's soooo beautiful!



Re: homemade gifts, I totally had had every intention of making something for my SS because I LOVE TO CRAFT! But unfortunately I ran out of time and had to send it. Also I definitely tried making her chocolate covered potato chips but it was a total failure... Instead I used mint Lindt truffles as packing material to make up for it. Totally acceptable packing material, right? The best kind!

I have no idea and I don't want to know because I am having a blast watching the unmasking of SS's as packages arrive.

I know, me too. However, my husband had a sick relative who just passed yesterday. I've kind of been looking to Louie's needs.

Sorry to hear that RIP to your husbands relative.

I haven't found out who either of my Santa's are but I'm pretty sure it's from the other one too. Its supposed to be New Years resolution theme (my resolution was relaxing and making a lunch for school)  about once a week I get a package from China that I did not order (3 so far)(1. stress hand massage ball, 2. scarf, 3. wire head massager)

LOL yes! I ran into that dude at a house show/fundraiser for this huge all-girl art show in my city. Very odd
I love his hair and I think it deserves its own show. My fiance gets distracted by his hair, and thus won't watch the show.

  Surprisingly, I ended up having a really great day.

I woke up to my amazing SS gift. I went to work and found out I got a promotion I'd been hoping for (I currently work as an aide taking care of developmentally disabled children and young adults...but I was just promoted to Activities, which means I will quite literally get paid to play with them...games, crafts, spa nights, karaoke, and taking them out on outings to things like the circus, NBA games, the orchard, shopping..._

Now I come home, see that several other ladies got their gifts which I am looking forward to fawning over, and it is officially my weekend off. What a super day!
Congrats!!! That sounds like it must be really fun but super challenging at the same time.

I'm off to the Post Office to mail my gift! I'm so excited! I really hope she likes everything I got her.
My wrapping skills aren't that great but here's a preview for my Santee:

You did a great job!

I need a little help! I don't know where to ask, so I'll ask here since y'all are just the bees freakin' knees!

I got an angel tree kid for christmas. I want to make her a makeup bag filled with some makeup products that would be age appropriate. Does anyone have any suggestions? She's 11, African American, loves lip gloss, and a "total girly girl". Does anyone have any suggestions for blush? Lip Gloss? Other Age Appropriate items? (I have some from my benefit advent calendar I'm going to send her way! Plan on throwing in some of my 100s of mascaras... but I'm looking for any other suggestions!
I think maybe items from Claires, lip smackers, Essence, Hello Kitty makeup from Sephora & maybe some inexpensive palettes for her to experiment with. Hope that helps.

I have enjoyed reading this thread. @slinka where would you find makeup in shapes of animals? That would be really cool to have.

Paul and joe have a fantastic line- there's a thread on mut about it!

The ones I have I believe are tony moly(cats wink) and then there's a Peri pera tint- not cat shaped, but has a cat-deco on it. They're Korean- I use roseroseshop but you can find other sellers if you so desire. Very affordable too!

Thanks for posting how did I not know about this? My wallet will definitely beg for mercy.

They're pretty affordable...until you buy one of everything! lol. If you like cute-packaged things, Korea is where you need to direct your attention lol.




And yes, this was taken from my wishlist lmao.
