SEND ME A KEYCHAIN!!!

I was crafty this morning. I made beads out of hay for a keychain and used the rest to make a cross for my mom. The twiley themed god's eye is for my roommate. Yay!

Josh grabbed this at a solar bears game last week for me because I was too shy. I'm posting it because even promo items like this are appreciated by me in my collection. Thank Josh!

Happy groundhog Day

A big thank you is in order for Hotch's Aunt Darlene! Darlene surprised me for Christmas with my first pair of crocs! She got a matching pair for Hotch. I'm really enjoying them because I like how you can have them as slip on's or with an ankle strap. Plus they're adorable!

She also gave me some magnificent rat figures. They're honestly too cute and I'm in the process of naming them. Right now they are positioned near the Remy and Emile statue that Hotch got for me a few months ago. I have to say that the combination looks really good. With the way one of the tails is looped I think I might be able to make that rat into a keychain if I'm so inclined. I haven't decided yet.

Thank you, Darlene, for the wonderful and unexpected gifts. I really appreciate them. Merry Christmas :)

This year my secret brony santa was Tyler up in Washington. He did a really fantastic job of following my list when it made sense to do so and deviating when appropriate as well. Goodies for the rats were even included! Maple and Truffle have really enjoyed eating their Tyler Treatz.

I always like to ask for some sort of pony related item so he got me the Sunny Starscout glow in the dark dragon set I requested. Man, do those things glow! It's been a lot of fun playing with them. I really want to brush my dragon's mane but it looks so perfect now that I can't bring myself to do so.

I also asked for some stuff with the ace flag because I realized I didn't have a keychain (it goes without saying that I always request keychains) of it. So now I have a lovely keychain and necklace! The keychain even has a mushroom on it. I just love fungus.

For several years now I have been wanting this particular poster to add to my collection of vintage travel posters on my bedroom wall. I especially like ones for fictional locations or in this case, real life places that I can't exact visit other than via the poster. I would love to see Jupiter's auoras. Who wouldn't? This gift made me so excited and is the jewel of my posters! It's going front and center.

I usually ask for friendship bracelets of some kind, either bought or handmade. Well, Tyler's stands out in the best way. It is made out of rat treats, guitar picks and all kinds of interesting things. It fits well and I like wearing it to Publix! It's extremely hobo chic and I love the time and effort he put into it :)

To round out the excitement, I have cute ghost stickers and some dark chocolate. Woohoo!

Anyway, this was a fantastic box of Christmas goodies and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you, Tyler, for being such a good Secret Santa and friend!

Josh got these for me last week at a Sooper Seekrit thing at his work. I love how soft and squishy the alien is and the shark's nose is adorable. He also got me candy and a shark bag yay. Thanks for remembering me

PS not sure why a mardi gras template was in the holiday section but I love it

This adorable keychain came out of the advent calendar Hotch got me. Who is more kissable than stitch? No one!

Thanks for the Halloween gift, Treesa!

I spent last weekend up north with Hotch. My goal was to see Transylvanian Ghost Skwerlz on Dia de Muertos- and I did! They were so cute and I saw two groundhogs as well. Although the locals told me there was storm damage, I was pleased by the autumn foliage I saw in general since we don't have it here in the tropics. There were several trees in the mountains near his home that were real hum dingers! Anywhoo, it was a really good time and Hotch bought me some loot. Thanks!
