The mailman (aka Husband) came home today, smiling while hiding something behind his back. As it turns out, it was my gift from my Secret Santa! I tried to contain my excitement, but I'm still a kid at heart when it comes to these things.

Fast Forward

The box is open now, and staring back at me are three gorgeous Faber-Castell brush pen sets. Three! I've never even owned a set of single marker of Faber-Castell. To be honest, I was hit with a touch of dread. I don't know this quality stuff! I had these on my wishlist, but I'm used to wish lists staying just that: wishes.

I havent been sleeping well lately, so I tried out my gifts tonight. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then I hope my first attempt with getting to know these markers at least says "thanks" 1,000 times over. (Even if it did take a FAIL turn halfway through. D'oh!)

I'm truly thankful to you, reddit Santa, who remains anonymous. Your tremendous generosity will be paid forward to the best that I am able in rematching!
