The builder and previous owner of my parents' home had a serious love of stained glass. So much so that almost every window in the house has a stained glass panel worked into it somewhere.

I'd always wanted to learn to make my own stained glass pieces, but life being what it is I'd never gotten to learn beyond watching some videos on YouTube.

Well, thanks to my Secret Santa now I can! Whoever you are I want to thank you for the awesome beginner stained glass kit you sent me! It came with all the basic tools I'll need to get started, a grinder to shape and smooth the glass edges, and a better soldering iron than the one my husband has. (He was a little jealous.)

I'm absolutely floored by the kindness and generosity of a complete stranger, and I honestly can't thank you enough for making a childhood dream come true!
