Willow ,'Showtime'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
Yay for Brenda's new company! may you be happy there!
Ginger, I gave up on finding a nice bug in amber, but Bruce St. John Maher makes (or used to make) really good glass versions. I have one - large rectangular slab of amber-colored glass with a black glass "bug" in it - that has most people who see it convinced it's real. It's heavier than amber, but quite attractive.
Go Brenda's company! What a nice feeling it must be to work at a good company. Looking up indeed.
When I saw the Appleton A Christmas Carol it nudged me in the ribs and whispered that it would be just the thing for you.
It's really a perfect choice for her. Well done, Matt.
May I just say that my lovely Secret Santa Laura rocks??? Because she does. I got my package today (after a few misadventures), and it was totally worth the wait!! She included chocolate (num!), Cooking With Fernet Branca (which promises to be hilarious), and Dustcovers, which is the collection of Sandman covers. So pretty!!
Thank you, sweetie!!
Cooking With Fernet Branca
This sounds just perfect for you, juliana. Not that I've seen your name in conjunction with this beverage or anything. What fun!
Yay! I'm so glad it finally got there. I was so worried about the condition of the contents since it looked like they played field hockey with the box. Did the book corners survive?
Of course cooking with Fernet assumes sipping while cooking.
Did the book corners survive?
They did, and beautifully. I'm trying not to start in on them just yet, since I'm in the middle of three right now and would like to finish at least one of them soon (Will In The World being the most important one to finish)! But so tempting, so tempting....
...crickets...
...tumbleweed rolls by...
Oooh. I think my present(s) might go into the mail tomorrow. They'd go today, but I have to wrap them up.
I sent mine out on Saturday, but I think it got to the post office late enough that it didn't actually get sent until yesterday, since the post office was closed Sunday and Monday.
