I have an animated (ie not real. No butterflies were harmed in the making of this.) anyways he's a Blue Morpho butterfly in a glass jar!! He flies and flaps and makes my cats jump and is So. Damn. Cool!

Oh my gosh I love him. Thank you Santa!!

Update: My Santa had been on the ball. He's posted all tracking info so I could tell this had arrived Dec 20. I was able to get it today.

Soooo I opened this tube. Inside was a roll of brown paper. I unwrapped that and there's a brown and green and gold poster. It took me a bit...then OMG IT'S A HOBBIT THINGY!! It's real art!!

So I put it on my wall with pushpins. I have real art on my wall, I gloated. Then I looked it up online.

This is a limited-edition of 50 poster from Gallery 1988. People buy these posters and sell them on ebay for lots of money.

"OMG! This thing is valuable and I've poked holes in it and I've ruined it's value!!" I was very mad at me.

Googling told me that posters are still valuable if it's just little pushpin holes near the edge.

Still. I'm getting this framed ASAP.

Thank you Santa!!

Also Santa gifted my cat. The brown paper has been adopted by orange cat, for he likes all things that go crunch when lept upon.
