I guess I am the first one to post...

When I came back this afternoon a big surprise waited for me at the door. It was a big package. I had no idea who send it until I open it up. Inside was lots of BIG brugs cutting and lots and lots of seeds. WOW !! It was more than I ever expected to receive. Thank you so much SS. You are awesome !!
I hope I can take some pics tomorrow and post them.
Are you curious who my SS was?

Everything worked out for me since I am leaving Tuesday.

Eddie that was a great idea to suggest a donation and Pat your generous donation will help a lot of people enjoy their holiday.

RE: Secret Santa ...!!! I RECEIVED the package !!!

OK, here it is...

This is the package, as tall as my chair
Secret Santa 2009

These are the cuttings and the seeds.
Secret Santa 2009

The cuttings and my babies. The cuttings are so huge between 14-16 in I assume.
Secret Santa 2009

Eloise guessed!! My Secret Santa was Eddie and...I was his !!!

The funny thing is that I was out to do my SS duty and buy food to donated in Eddie's name and when I came back home the package my SS Eddie sent was at the door. What about this? Coincidence or what?

Eddie, I want to thank you one more time. You made me happy two times yesterday. First when I went to buy the food and donate it. Yes, I donate more than you asked but was such a wonderful wish that I wanted to be indeed Santa Claus and make more people happy. Second was when I received my package with all this wonderful cuttings and seeds.
You are such a selfless guy and an inspiration to us all.

Did I win anything since I guessed right? Oops, o.k. it wasn't a contest, LOL!!!

Wow, what a great SS box Pat, and what a coincidence that Eddie would also be your SS person -- now it makes sense to me as to why you were donating on behalf of Eddie. Great job you two!

RE: Secret Santa ...!!! I RECEIVED the package !!!

Pat now THAT is one heck of a SS gift! Now you know that we wanna know the NAMES of the cuttings roflmao

looks like you are not the only one who loves the new cuttings lol

Caren I would say the 1st couple for this years SS was a super start.

RE: Secret Santa ...!!! I RECEIVED the package !!!

Caren, everything was working out very well for me and Eddie. We both got what we wished for and more!! Somebody up there arranged everything.

I had 3 parakeets but one (the mother)died 1 month ago. Now I have the father(yellow) and his daughter who is almost 3 month old. I have an Amazon Parrot too.

Thanks for organizing SS. It was fun.
