First off, my Santa kept in touch with me throughout this exchange and I love her for that. Now, I don't usually get this excited about things, but I knew she was handmaking all the goodies she sent... and handmade items are things I appreciate. Just knowing she put this much effort into my gifts makes my heart swell. I don't think I can ever say how much these wonderful pieces fully. There are no words really, just tears of happiness over how beautiful everything is.

On to the gifts! My Santa did homework on me and saw I was a Lora Zombie fan. My Santa painted me a Totoro and a Catbus... in the style of Ms. Zombie!!! I'll be looking for kust the right frames for them and they'll go on my walls where I can relive the awesomeness of Totoro and my Santa's work. (I'm crying happy tears again) She also made me 3 wall pieces of Totoro that my sweet toddler grabbed immediately and took to his room where he examined each one and played for about 45 minutes, growling for them. Anyone with a 2 and a half year old knows they only play with stuff that long when they like it. :]

Thank you, my Secret Santa, you're an amazing artist and I think I love you for all your beautiful works and words along the way. You've made me and my boy so happy on this valentines day.
