So, halfway through our longest work day of the week I walk into the workshop and see a box with a happy little alien handing me an upvote... I am also greeted by 3 of my co-workers who find it exceptionally curious that I have a package from reddit. :-P

I can't figure out how to share pictures on mobile so here's a link to my imgur album:

THANK YOU iheartoptimusprime

I was (am) so excited! My secret santa was dead-on! I got 'Where the Red Fern Grows', 2 moleskin notebooks (my favorite! And in my favorite color!), a giftcard for my nook that I cannot decide how to use (so many choices and options!) And my 2 favorite items:

A coffee mug from the Twin Cities that fits right in with my small but growing collection of cups from different places. I have a small obession with coffee mugs in general (I won't show you the rest of the shelf).

And a handmade headband that is EXACTLY my style. And I must say I pretty much rock it ;-) lol

I love that my Santa did exactly what I asked and gave me things that I want in a way that tells me a little about them :) the meaning behind each gift was explained in a letter to me that I will hang on my bulletin board!

Thank you again /u/iheartoptimusprime and thank you all of reddit gifts for making it happen! HAPPY ARBITRARY DAY EVERYONE! :)
