Secondly, while all of the Santas are awesome, mine is the awesomest (is that even a word? Nope? Good, it is now.)
Look at this beautifully wrapped goodness, too pretty to open. And wax seals! I'm a sucker for touches like those, and purple! The nerd in me was thinking that from a distance the silver paper almost looked Gallifreyan. I didn't get a picture of the ribbon and tissue containing these. I tried lifting it all out of the box to take a picture and the boxes had other ideas.
And then I opened the card. And promptly turned emotional when I saw what was inside. A dragon, all for me... and the Tardis?? *cue lots of squeeing* This is the best card I've received and such beautiful artwork! And it's all mine, the purple dragon and a purple Tardis. *even more squeeing* At this point it didn't matter what was in those packages because this card. Just look at it!
Look at that wax seal, I'm in love.
Why yes my inner magpie made an appearance and carefully removed the ribbons to keep for future use. Those seals will make cute little ornaments.
And everything unwrapped:
I especially love the handwritten card explaining why you picked each item.
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's a lovely touch, personalized and thoughtful. Everything is perfect and is so me and I feel like you should be someone I know personally who knows what I love because all of these are things that I would expect from people I know in Real Life.
I've been in Ulta a few times recently, and kept eyeing the Mariah Carey set, but I could never pull the trigger and buy it for myself - I was too busy gift shopping to justify buying it. Side note: that red isn't too dark for me, it's the perfect color to layer with glitter over top. (says the person currently wearing an extremely dark green holo, the green in the pic above).
Even weirder of a coincidence was everytime I needed to visit Walgreens to pick something up in the past couple of weeks, I'd eye the Ferrero's in the Christmas aisle, and for whatever reason, I didn't pick those up either. I kept telling myself that I'd pick some up the next time I went there, and never did. It's as if you knew I loved those too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> There may be a few missing from the package now. Oops. I regret nothing! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I'm also a fiend for fuzzy socks, I love wearing them under my slippers in the winter. And in two of my favorite colors too! Yay!! I, too, love glass files and keep them everywhere.
I love, love, love that bookmark! Though I don't know about the "keep calm" part come Wednesday. I adore Eleven, he reminds me of Four in many ways, and can be the perfect Madman in a Box, I already know that I'm going to be sad when he regenerates. On the flipside, I'm excited to see Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.
I'd be terrible if I didn't at least mention what polishes I received. The Rainbow Honeys are Snake Eyes and Unstealable Jewel, and the Zoyas are Zara, Carter, and Anja.
I feel sad that I'm finished sharing my amazing and awesome gift which was more than worth the wait and has left me grining from ear to ear! I appreciate the thoughtfulness and personalization of each item, and I'm touched by your generosity! This is beyond amazing and more! Thank you,so very, very much!!
See? Good things come to those who wait, right? I am in love with that card and those seals. It's funny how so many people most love parts of their presents that have nothing to do with polish.
