This morning I was woken up by the hounds of hell. Okay, so they were just my yappy dogs but in post-dream haze, they can sound pretty terrifying. The hounds of Baskerville (read: the shih tzus of Chicago) alerted me to check the front porch. Could it be? It was! My gift from my Arbitrary Day Santa had arrived!

So what was in the large box? A spice rack! Spice rack? I know what you are thinking, silly aminotaurdevoid, you cannot even cook! (How did you know that?) But, any dedicated (nail-art) person can see it's not just a spice rack -ah that crafty Santa - it's really for my nail polish. Which is fantastic because I usually just shove them in spare areas around my room.

But what other awesome things did my Santa get me? Nail art supplies! My super awesome Santa did a wonderful job of stalking me. I am a big fan of nail polish art (thanks to r/RedditLaqueristas) and I'm so excited about my gifts. I got a fancy brush set (that comes in a fancy case) and some stamping plates for ultra fancy designs. I also got dotting tools in various sizes. So thanks to my Santa, I'm fully supplied and ready to paint.

But for now, I'll just show off my little reddit art that I did with my new supplies.

Thank you so much secret santa, I love my gifts and you have made me incredibly happy!
