Re: SS REVEAL, PART TWO!
Am I right, Girlie??? It was you?
Haha, I actually didn't let myself look at the return labels or anything, but the AZ stuff did tip me off 
In any case, I super love love love everything. The chocolate is all gone, and I've had tea 4 times in the last week (H thinks I'm weird).
I was tempted to avoid return addresses altogether and drop it off on your doorstep (I was literally in your neighborhood on Saturday!), but I decided that might be a little creepy, lol. I'm really glad you liked it! I told H you said you liked useful things so he helped me shop, because he does too.
I just AW'd on SB this morning: LINK!
My SS took DMills' suggestion of a conservative/liberal gift exchange to heart
, and sent me an "Apocalypse Cakes: Recipes for the End" cookbook to warm my heathen heart, and a 365 day calendar called "Strange Brew: Bagging on the Tea Party." I'm trying really hard not to flip through it, because I want to enjoy it one day at a time next year. There were also two adorable snowmen, cat and dog toys -- one for each of my two cats and four dogs! -- and a Christmas sweater t-shirt for H, who has been boasting of his newfound freedom to "bare arms" (now that he is an honorary American, lol). I love the entire gift, and everyone who has seen it -- I've been AWing it around work, too! -- thinks it's hilariously appropriate.
I know from the card that she's a Republican and the return address that she's in Ohio -- so I'm going to guess DMills?
Thank you SO much! I'm at the point where i am rationing my last 5 pieces of chocolate. Luckily, dark chocolate is my favorite and my H can't stand it so it's ALL been for me. I'm a greedy Christmas gift hoarder.

Yay! You're right Pixie. It was me. :-) I'm super glad you loved them. I was nervous!
I wish I liked dark chocolate but I much prefer milk.
Happy, the best dog ever. ~February 1998 - July 22, 2012
I am "deaf-initely" one of a kind.

It was me
I had it sent directly from the manufacturer to add to the mystery. I am SO glad you like it, and that it got to you so much sooner than the people told me it was going to.
yup!
(I hope she doesn't care. I know she said she wouldn't be around until like 5pm, so 7pm CST)

You were! So glad you like everything. And I'm happy to use you as an excuse to hit other local breweries to get more glasses.
I would have laughed so hard had you done that. Especially since I was singing at the top of my lungs while cleaning on Saturday and you would have heard that from the street I'm sure. Thank you for everything lady! You and your H did a great job picking stuff out and that Chex Mix was awesome (not to mention, long gone)!
Ahhh I knew it!! That was my guess before I even saw the return address. How creepy is that? It was just such a thoughtful gift and felt like you :-) YAY! I love the gifts - you are the best ever!!
This was the SS AW:
http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/wedding-boards_snarky-brides_ss-aw-9
Re-reading it, I am not sure how clear it is that I freaking loved everything. I should have been more enthusiastic! But basically: my SS *** rocked. Rocked. And SS, if you are offended by the cusses, I am sorry, but you really just *** rock.
I don't have many guesses; or rather, I have lots of guesses because knowing that my SS is awesome doesn't actually narrow it down very much. Given that my gift included a personalized (awesome!) poem I might guess Sesh; also, the return address was Florida. BUT my SS said they used a friend's address for the return address, so it could be anyone. Or it could be Sesh being super extra sneaky and trying to throw me off her track by using an address that was similar to her own but telling me it wasn't hers.
Also, I know that my SS hates Mariah Carey, and thinks duck umbrellas are cool.
And I'm a little bummed, Mara, that you knew it was me! I have some questions about your gifts, if you're still around.
ETA: Aw man, I can't say "fu cking"! Youfuckingrocked, SS.
Arwo, you are correct! Twas me. I had lots of fun shopping for you, and answering your daily guesses on elfster. I'm glad you liked everything. I was worried the crow mug was a little too "out there" but I loved it and hoped you would too.
That really isn't my address, it's someone else's. I wanted to make sure it would go back to an actual house just in case it was returned.
Sorry I am late! Between my work, being MTN time ... anyway my SS has posted a lot in this thread. Do you want me to tell you who?
Also, mine came from IN. I originally thought Mara, then I thought Duds, but I think she already outted herself. Unless it was a fake address. All of the stuff was national brands too so I am stuck.
Be back soon.
YAY! Ridiculously awesome! We use the candle every night, pretty much. And I am having my morning tea from the mug as I type this. I should start putting sugar in my tea so that I can use the wee spoon to stir it in. I'm also trying to think of a nice way to store the poem--maybe framing it, or pressing it into a scrapbook, so it doesn't get lost or ruined. I want to make a tradition of reading it for Christmas every year. Is that lame?
Not at all! I'm honored. I was going to sign it but wanted it to be a surprise instead. So I just signed it Secret Santa, ha.
I'm glad you found the spoon, too. It's just not complete without it!
It was me! I'm glad you liked it Les. I thought I needed to use a different address after drawing you for the Foodie Swap as well. I have no idea what I'm going to do next year to disguise myself!
Here is my SS AW According to the return address my SS is from Michigan or it might have been Minnesota, but I'm pretty sure it was Michigan. It's one of the M states. I don't remember clearly since I was too focused on my awesome gift. I LOVED everything. My SS is also an overachiever so based on those clues my guess is DJ.
You guys can't be impatient because it's only 9am here, and I had to read all 5 pages!
I had the octopus cup and tea and I guess Nates or CardMonsta for my SS.... (total guesses)... The handwriting was very bubbly and 'happy'. That is the only clue I have.
Ha! I love that you are using the handwriting as a clue. Actually, I remember thinking that the handwriting on my poem was totally believable as Sesh handwriting.

I'm fairly certain that Shay had me.

Yay, Koda!! Thank you! I love all of it. The chocolate macadamia nuts are long gone (they were delicious), and so is the coffee.
Sorry you got me twice - I'll have to be perma-banned in your Elfster profile.
8-)
Hmm Who else is from MI? Denise? Or maybe it did say Minnesota. Or maybe my SS is super sneaky and used a fake address.
How so? The writing on the card is closer than the writing on the poem (I dion't usually dot my "i"s or have my sentences line up all nice and pretty). You have no idea how long it took to write that out so you could actually read it. I have the most awful handwriting ever because of the cramps and spasms I get in my fingers.
YAY! I loved it! Thank you so much!
Sorry I am late to the game for most of you even though it is only 9:20am. I have no idea who my SS is. The 3 parts of my gift shipped separate and there was no return address on it.
The person I had is not in this thread yet.
Here is the evidence on file for my SS (she says she likes my art, so maybe she is an FB friend too?):
(pic testing, will edit if no pic is here)
BLA! What am I doing wrong? Do you have to put in the border info or what?
Edit again: I give up, TN hates me.
