A few days ago the most amazing package arrived for me.

Shamefully I wasn't even able to open it because I was CRAZY BEHIND on a big project with a deadline of yesterday, I decided to put it to one side and save it as a reward for having finished the project.

I somehow (just!) made the project deadline, and today I got to open the box - which had been sitting tantalising me so unfairly!

The box itself was wrapped with the prettiest tape, I had to include a photo of it! (I want some, cooki3trix where is that from?!) But inside was the real treasure, after ripping apart the bubble wrap (not even stopping to pop any bubbles, I was that excited), and I can't tell you how happy it made me!

I feel a certain connection with Victor, I think we'd be friends - I think he might even be me in another life! There was about 0.5 of a second consideration on wether or not I should open the packaging and play with him, or leave him in mint collector's condition.

MY APOLOGIES to any collectors reading this, but there was no way in hell I could resist that!

The figurine is amazing and currently resides in pride of place on my kitchen work surface (anxiously surveying my food prep area)!

Thank you so much cooki3trix, I didn't know what to expect from the Burton exchange but this was a real treasure, and brought a big grin to my face!
