Welcome to Litsy!

5 weeks ago we adopted a gorgeous doggy called pumpkin. She was very skinny. She started putting on weight- great! She got a bit nippley so I took her to the vets. He said- phantom pregnancy, will be over in a few weeks. Today Pumpkin had 6 puppies… 😑🤦🏻‍♀️🤪 🐶 So there goes my December.

Thanks again to @GraceZ95 for the awesome, thoughtful, early Christmas gifts! I decided to not celebrate this year so it was nice to know that you cared enough to spoil me with goodies anyway! 😆All the books and Brooklyn 99 stickers are perfect, the journal and handmade bookmarks are so beautiful 😍 the candy is almost gone, the stationary will definitely come in handy and the Hamilton mug is my new favorite!! I love #litsylove ❤💚

My hubby checked our mailbox after we got home yesterday from a short road trip, and waiting for me was this surprise package! @UwannaPublishme I can‘t thank you enough for these lovely gifts! Perfect picks to start the New Year off on a positive note, and boy, do I need reminding. Life has been challenging lately, more so than usual. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and your friendship. 🥰💜🤗

Maybe those boxes under the tree are for me and maybe...they‘re for me. 🤗 (they‘re definitely not for the dog)

Thank you, @EH2018 for this unexpected Xmas surprise and the update that arrived with it!

There are at least 7 Magic Kitten books. I read this one last December. Kitty art gets me every time 🐈 🐱 they are so cuuute

A Christmas Surprise by Kimberly Rose Johnson is the 22nd book I completed for the #30booksin3months challenge but this book is not on Litsy.

This is a review for a book I just finished that I borrowed from the website www.booklending.com. I‘m using this book to fill in the Free Space square on my #bookishbingo board because with a Free Space, you can read anything and this book didn‘t fulfill any of the other prompts on the board.

Lauren! What an unexpected surprise! I was super confused when I saw it on the doorstep. Lol. You're so sweet 💕 I'm going to try and wait until Christmas to open it. 😆 Thank you so much!! 💚❤📚

Who doesn't melt at the sight of kittens with jewel-toned eyes?? Bentley has written a dozen or so magic kitty 🐱 books; they're about 120 pages or so

Thanks so much @TrishB for my fab bookmark!! Love it! And the lovely Christmas card - my first! 💖🎄🎆

Look what‘s just arrived @TrishB ! So exciting, it feels like Christmas now! Im going to save it though, I‘ll put it under my tree next weekend (when I‘m a bit more organised)....

It‘s very sweet of you, considering you‘ve been poorly as well ❤️🌲❤️🌲

#Froedrick photobombed my gifts from @Hooked_on_books . He can‘t resist sitting on anything spread on the floor, and I couldn‘t resist opening your gifts any longer! (The hubs said “what are you doing?” And I said “well, she opened mine already!”). Reveal in next post. 😊

Another bookish Christmas parcel. 😍😍 Thank you @DeborahSmall

Oh! Wow!

@Sarah83 thank you for the box. 😝 😁 I'm going to open it now.

The Kid received her #secretsantakids package today! Thanks @Jenandvv! @JenP, will you let them know that we got it in one piece? Please and thanks.

And these are being sent to 2 mystery recipients!

Hint: you've never received mail from me before, but you maybe know me a little more anyway... and maybe each other too. 🤔

...did I just give away too much? 😁😁🧐

Eeeek!! Look what was waiting on my doorstep when I got home!! Thank you, @umbrellagirl!! So excited!! Now to hide it for the next 9 days, lest it taunt me mercilessly!

I received a gift from New England today! We‘ve had NewEngland-type weather, but it made it through the snow!
Thank you, @Dolly !

What a nice surprise to go to the post office today and find this box from @Soubhiville waiting for me! Thank you so much! I can‘t wait until Christmas to open it. The fun part is I just happened to be mailing something to you today at my post office visit. 😉 Litsy is so cool!

It's off to the post office - and then parts southwest of Philadelphia - for these tomorrow! #secretsantagoespostal #wintersolsticebookswap @Avanders @MrBook @BookBabe
