I received my box today and it was highly anticipated because my Santa communicated with me early on. She asked questions which I loved. I always say that when it comes to my gifts, creativity is key. Sometimes the creativity means more than the gift itself. Well, my Santa took creativity to a whole new level.

When I opened the box I was surprised to see several wrapped gifts and cards. So, I started unwrapping the smallest to the largest. First up, a cute and I do mean cute little furry NY Giants ornament (I love dogs), Yes, I am a die hard fan. Next up (and I am tearing up as I type) an Amethyst handcrafted 108 bead Meru Malas for meditation. This is heartfelt on so many levels, Amethyst is my favorite stone, purple is my favorite color, meditation is something that I am very much into and deepening my practice daily and 108 beads handcrafted Meru is a gift all by itself. She really could have stopped there and I would have been fully satisfied.

Nope, not my Santa the next package was pieces of fabric. Yes, one of my hobbies (active at that) is sewing. She sent me very nice fabric pieces, one of sewing accessories in which I will create an actual picture out of and hang in my sewing room.

Last but not least was a larger piece of fabric which has a very lovely tie-dye type pattern. Love and have already decided that it will be a skirt or tunic dress.

The card said to open last and I did, lo and behold it was a birthday card (my birthday is tomorrow (9 July) and a postcard of Kansas City.

This is beyond...seriously. YB has made this exchange the absolute best EVER and understand; I have had really good exchanges. I can only hope and pray that whoever is gifting her showers her as she has showered me.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! the creativity that you have shown is far beyond my imagination. I really appreciate that you took the time to get to know me and translate that into these awesome gifts.
