My Santa was so incredibly thoughtful with these gifts! I received two of the three on the same day, and I came home to a regular sized box and a very large box.

The first thing I opened was a very lovely gray journal to write down my thoughts in! It's seriously gorgeous, and I love the way it closes with the pen through the leather straps.

The next thing was in the large box. According to the note it's "a cozy place to break that writer's block", and I think it's going to work perfectly! It's a large pillow (you know, one of the ones with arms on it? so you can sit up against it?) and it's really soft, and I love the shade of gray, and it has a really cool texture on the front of it! I love it. (Bonus: literally as soon as I brought it inside my cats were SO intrigued by it. There was a cat in the box before I could even get the pillow out!)

I almost made this post before the last item arrived, but I'm glad I waited! Today a new friend arrived at my doorstep. He's a weird little dude, but I think he's gonna fit in pretty well. I seriously laughed so hard when I opened the box and saw him! I think I've seen his friends somewhere before but I never bought one, and now courtesy of my Santa I have this gray guy! My Santa said he's to be an "inspirational character" for my stories, and I think he just might.

Thank you SO much, for all the thought you put into these gifts! They're really perfect, and they're all such beautiful shades of gray, too. Like I mentioned in my notes, I've been having a seemingly-permanent case of writer's block lately, but having this absolutely lovely journal to write in, and hearing your kind words? It makes me want to write again. I'm gonna curl up against my new pillow with my new journal (and my new weird little friend!) and try to write something.
