I think most of us like to think that we are the most excited SS on here, but I'd say my SS has to take that title. She immediately messaged me, she got to know me through our dozens and dozens of messages, she followed my comments on Reddit and she browsed through my Facebook profile. And when the gift came, mere days after the the whole thing got started, she did nothing but taunt me to open it while I was trying to stay determined to wait until Christmas. I started calling her the evil ss for tempting me and she was calling me the evil one for making her wait, all in good fun though.

So tonight, after much waiting, taunting and begging from my kids, I finally opened the package. It was beyond adorable, it was coincidence in gift form! When I was a little girl, my dad taught me how to find 4 leaf clovers. I've in turn started to teach my kids how to find them. On both Reddit and Facebook I've talked about this or posted pictures. She sent me a cute Irish Beanie Baby, a kit to grow your own four leaf clovers and a candy mold.

Here's the good luck my SS managed to have. My daughter started growing a lima bean in her class at school. My son has been envious and has asked me if he can grow something. So I gave him the four leaf clover growing kit. My daughter has an Irish name in honor of her father's Irish side, so it only seemed fitting she take claim to the Irish bear. Me? Every Christmas I make mints as gifts, and now I have a new candy mold to use! PERFECT! Thanks so much, tigerstripes!! Your stalking paid off :)
