...warm little hat and a bag of goodies...
I did a trade with the talented Tiffany. I made her Harvey and she made me a beautiful winter hat.
Look how perfect the hat matches the painting behind me. I couldn't have gotten better colors if I picked them myself!! She also went to a Japanese dollar store before she mailed off my package, so I got a million great treats. Well not a million, but such perfect things. An new journal (I am three pages away from finishing my current one), and a brush pen (love brush pens). Eyes for robots (I already have plans for a pair) a cute little key chain and candy. That is gone. LOve anything chocolate and chocolate with maple syrup, heaven. And some pretty origami paper. She didn't forget Trixie who got fun springs that she wanted to get into right away. Look at her. It is like she knows they are for her!
I have some big news. The Boy finally got this big gig that was supposed to happen ages ago. He did the sound design on a video game trailer months ago (in time for some fancy conference) and there was talk at the time they'd get hired to do the full game. Then the talk got more plausible. Then the talk turned into dates. The original date was at the beginning of October. Then near the end of October. Then the beginning of November. Then the end of November and just when I thought that would go on for ages - wham it happened. On Thanksgiving. So much to be thankful for (except that little part where he had to work on thanksgiving - those brits are still a little angry about the tea party?) No really the company creating the game is in England. Good thing I can make a mean mashed potatoes. We had a really delicious time, because the Boy is a fabulous cook. We did the happy dance and busted out the champagne (after he was done for the day because drinking changes your ability to hear correctly).

It's so funny - I don't even know you, but I know you!!! I just knew those colours would be you. The hat looks great on you, I am so happy :D How did Trixie know that the springs were for her? Milo didn't even go near them. strange!
Congratulations to the Boy for his gig!!! Happy Dance :D
