So I stopped by the post office today to pick up today's mail, and to halt the mail for the next week. I'm just about to head into the savage wilderness to punch bears or something, so I'd resigned to getting my gift when I got back. Lo' and behold, there was a decorated box waiting for me! I rushed home (thankfully I live only a few minutes from the post) so as to open this delightful package.

Inside, there were two exquisite gifts, and a lovely card. The first was a set of colored Prismacolor markers:

EXHIBIT A) I got a new mixed media sketchbook yesterday. It's like they knew.

EXHIBIT B) I've never used colored markers before (in a serious artistic way), so I foresee many pages of said sketchbook being markered(?).

The second gift was this gorgeous wooden deck box for Magic the Gathering cards. I mentioned that magic is one of my main hobbies, but I didn't expect anything of it. I love it! It fits a sleeved, hundred card commander deck perfectly, and as you can see, I've taken the liberty of storing one in it already.

I absolutely love both gifts, Ninkintosh! Thank you, you've started this vacation off in a lovely way.
