By an amazing stroke of luck, I had the same (wonderful!) Santa for both the chocolate and the Arbitrary Day exchange. What are the odds? So today I got a parcel with a sweet card and TWO amazing collections of gifts! :)

For the Arbitrary Day exchange, I got two wonderful creative and crafty gifts!

The first is a set of artist-quality aquarell pencils (Lyra Rembrandt, a brand with amazing reviews!) I can't wait to try them!

And then I got a Cosanazeane set! I'd never even heard of those before! As you can see in the picture, it's a wooden disk with holes drilled into it, so I can embroider it with my own designs! It even included thread and needles! It looks like so much fun. My Santa even translated the entire instruction manual to English for me--seven handwritten pages!

This is honestly better and more exciting than anything I could have asked for! Best Santa ever. :)
