I got a really useful book on Silk Screen methods. I had been searching for a good step by step book for a while to use for myself, and for lessons at the local art center I volunteer at. Also the cats love to sit on anything new that comes into the house. Francois and Nicodeamus enjoyed rubbing all over it :) Thanks Santa!

It brightened up my day! Its been a rough December (4 funerals :( sad times ) and participating in this exchange really cheered me up. I love the surprise for me, but I really loved picking out a gift for my Secret Santa too. I hope everyone really hugs their loved ones extra hard this year. You never really know when its the last time you're going to see someone.

I believe I also told Santa about how I cheered myself up with a photographer friend and took cat holiday glamour shots, so I dropped two of those in the gallery for the lolz.
