. . . Shelly gave to me. . .
. . .This adorable snowman package, filled with a gorgeous treat!
You all know that I usually just cut to the chase! No packages first, I go right for the gift! But in this case, I thought you needed to see the snowman bag first. There is something really special about him, aside from the fact that he's adorable. If you pull the ring at top, the package opens magically, without disturbing the bow, and the gift is in your hand! I didn't go so far as to take a video of this process, so you'll have to take my word for it! It is a touch of magic. Opening this gift definitely restored a sense of child-like wonder in the process! Way to go, Shelly! This is fantastic!
But as good as that is, it's nothing compared with what was inside....
. . . An artful altered domino collage on a waxed-string necklace! I am gob-smacked! Isn't this the greatest combination of beauty and fun?? What a conversation piece this will be! I can't wait to wear Edward! Such a handsome lad in his old-school cap, don't you think? And the card that he's attached to is a wonderful little work of art, too! But to get the proper effect and see Edward in his full glory, you need to see him off the card....
...here, on top of this piece of Christmas sheet music for good contrast! Isn't he wonderful! I can't thank you enough, Shelly!! I have fallen in love with this little guy!
