I was having a pretty rough time recently so when a package arrived for me I had no idea what it was as I've lost track of all the exchanges and rematches I'm in. My pens and stationary rematch Santa, quite simply, owned it. This is such a good package to receive and gave me such a boost.

A dart board pin board with dart pins! Made by my Santa for me! Unreal! That's just so awesome, I've never seen anything like it, this will be taking pride of place in my studio. I may try and convince people I'm going to actually start playing matches with the dart pins too.

I'm a big fan of mini note books, and these little matchbook style pads are no exception and a welcome addition. I've yet to have a go with the fragranced pens yet (mmm....pizza....mmm....root beer) but I've already been using the green and orange pens (which is why the orange pen isn't pictured.

A roll of masking tape is something I'm always needing as I always run out and I love the fact that its patterned, I've never found any like this before.

And (yes, there's more) the postcard from Seattle to round it all off. I love getting postcards and letters in these exchanges. Such a small thing makes such a difference.

You're such a winner rematch Santa, thank you HEAPS!
