So I told my Santa that I was in the beginning stages of starting to compost for a veggie and herb garden that my husband and I are working on. I got a lovely book on composting--used, so less impact on the environment! After receiving it, I thought, gee, what a lovely exchange! Oh, but there is a note with it. What does it say? There's another half of my gift still in progress? Hmm. With a compost theme, I hope it's not just scraps, haha.

Then I get a tracking number update. Ooh! Counting the days!

So last night, the package arrives. Spoiler alert: it was not compost.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!! Hand-embroidered reusable bags! Ok, so I sew, and I've done a little embroidery. Enough to know that this must've taken a heckin' long time. If I did them, they'd be done in time for NEXT YEAR'S Arbitrary Day Exchange. 3 bags, hand-embroidered with fruits, veggies, and flowers, and omg, dyed with upcycled crayons. I am beside myself. These are amazing and will be treasured!!

Thank you so much, Santa!
