Honestly, everything is perfect. This is probably going to sound sappy and dramatic, but it's been a really, really tough past 2 weeks. I lost my best friend unexpectedly to septic shock syndrome and my world was rattled.

It seems I've done nothing but grieve, cry, sleep, etc. When these gifts arrived, it genuinely made my heart so happy.

So here was my experience with this exchange and my secret Santa. Matches were sent out and within HOURS, I got the email saying my gift was on the way. It wasn't expected until today or Monday, so imagine my surprise yesterday when a random package showed up. I opened the absolutely perfect shirt and bookmarks. Seriously, they're awesome. I was honestly just saying how upset I was that I've lost all my bookmarks (besides my one from the last exchange, of course.)

These were perfect and a complete gift. I had no idea there was more coming. So again to my surprise, another package came today. Kitten tape?!?! It's like it was made for me. Now when I ship my artwork, it'll travel in style.

I hope you realize how such a small event between two strangers can really have an impact. I really can't thank you enough.
