HOLY COW!! My Plushie Santa went above and beyond - I can't believe how perfect my Plushie gift is!

My first hint that my Santa was going to be great was a message that I received from him. He said that he had a great idea for a custom-made plushie for me - he wanted to make sure that I was ok with the general theme before moving forward. He also said that, since it was going to be custom-made, it might be a wee bit late. Would I be ok with that?

Of course, I said I would be thrilled!

Once the wonderful mystery creation came to life, he messaged me again and told me it was on the way. We both checked the tracking details again and again and again.... until it arrived.

The box was huge! I eagerly opened it and dug through the layers of tissue paper (side note: Want a way to get on the good side of a cat owner? Send her a gigantic box of crinkling tissue paper for her cats to play in!)

I am gobsmacked by what I found - a custom-made tree! It's made out of felt and has embroidered features and lots of personalized touches (like the C on the bottom made out of buttons - C for Caitlin!). I love it!

Kipjor, you've outdone yourself! Thank you so much!

(NOTE: I've used the word gobsmacked not because I'm British, but because I can't think of an American term that adequately describes how surprised and delighted I am with my tree!)
