Secret Santa this was so much fun!

I’ve ordered tons of items from small business, but this looked like it was special. Initially I was concerned I wouldn’t get a SS since I never got a letter saying that I was in(Later I was confirmed privately by our fearless Secret Santa administrator). Olive (our Shiba Inu) was sure something inside was for her.

Shiba‘s are too independent! Couldn’t convince her she was a unicorn. Thankfully there was a second option in the bag for her that she loved. This was not an easy picture to get!

Here Olive is, in her favorite evening sleep spot, under the Christmas tree. Sporting the pretty new Christmas collar with jingle bells.

She also got one of those squeak toys with no stuffing so it’s easier for them to carry. She looks much more at ease with this costume piece. The 4 feet from the costume we plan to put on my parents Yorkies when they come for Christmas Saturday so they all match.

We actually have four copies of Princess bride in the house. One on laser disk, one DVD, another on Blu-ray, and another in VHS(yup laser and VHS).

I’m not so photogenic as when I was younger. What was really nice is I actually have kind of a big head and the hat fit! I thought it was cool that I was wearing the appropriate color shirt for my hat. Such a soft plush pillow pet.

Here’s everything from the box. In the top left is a 300 prompt book to start writing concepts. I have always thought those were great books, but would never buy one for myself. Below the card are the paint brushes which I plan to take with me to Mexico to watercolor paint. Perfect size for me to take on the airplane.

You can’t tell, but I’ve got my head on the pillow pet with my back on the massager. Olive is laying on top of me with her new collar. Thank you Secret Santa. Thank you Erica. I’d love to have you PM me so we can stay connected. Thank you and merry Christmas. It was so wonderful to have such a selection.
