Stuff DOES get lost. Hello all ~ I'd like to agree. The fuzzies I choose came from 3 separate shelters. For at least 2 of them I had to contact Kris directly. I really hesitated to do this, knowing Kris was trying to transfer pages. But I got a reply within 12 hours with the name of the shelter mom, location, and email. That's all I needed. The fun I had this year really helped with loosing Calvin. We made big, huge boxes and carted them down to our local mail place. Everything got there and I received some lovely ty cards, and one had a picture!! That was so cool. I did have tracking #'s and was able to send them out. These little guys will mean a lot to me all year. My only suggestion is that maybe starting the tree a month earlier next year would give all of us time to shop, to order, and to mail and contact. If it's for the fuzzies I have no problem thinking of Christmas as early as October. Warmly ~ Mary [Posted in FML 5486]
