My daughter just left to go to her dad's for Christmas, blissfully unaware that her Christmas present was sitting out on my dresser the whole time. Yes, in an unmarked box. But I get boxes all the time, so nothing unusual to look at or sniff around for. My husband's presents are in similar boxes scattered about my office.Anne Louise Bannonhttp://annelouisebannon.com/fictionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-36980014166735991922014-12-23T10:37:14.354-07:002014-12-23T10:37:14.354-07:00I used to use my closet, and then I had to get cre...I used to use my closet, and then I had to get creative, because little people love to snoop in the closet (of course). But "getting creative" with my present-hiding means I usually end up forgetting at least one present every single year. It never fails!<br /><br />I'm so glad you found Carrie's book. At least it was put it a safe spot! lol2justByouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569440913966464021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-44874200534193001092014-12-23T09:38:10.181-07:002014-12-23T09:38:10.181-07:00This is so funny Susan.

Luckily my sister was on the way over, so we had her open them and decide who could see them! Your cat is so smart.
