Hooray, hooray, it's gifting day! It's only Tuesday but it's been a long week already, so when I heard there was a package waiting for me, I couldn't wait to get home!

Immediately upon opening it, I was inundated with blue! Sitting on top of layers of delicate blue tissue paper was a card covered in blue butterflies with a lovely message identifying /u/kellou87 as my santa.

I started to excavate the gift from within the layers of paper, each layer revealing new treasures in shades of blue. Pens and a pencil case to store them in (blue AND glitter, it doesn't get better than that!) a pack of mentos, lip balm, and a note book.

Next up was a blue canvas bearing the quote "Shoot for the moon - even if you miss you'll land among the stars". A 2015 Teacher's calender full of funny and inspirational quotes and little puzzles.

Right at the bottom was a beautiful blue votive with gold decorations, and, lastly, a iridescent blue geode! I squealed at this last item - I love crystals/minerals and have been known to spend hours examining the extensive collection at my local museum. Actually, I squealed so loud that one of my dogs started growling at me, demanding that she be allowed to see what was so interesting! Although the box said it was a quartz geode, it appears to be a metal, possibly titanium or borite - further research is required! (EDIT: It's called a Titanium Aura Rainbow Quartz. It's quartz that has been put in a vacuum with titanium and niobium, which coats the crystal!)

Thank you so much Kellou87! This has been my first exchange after a long time of not being able to afford them, and I couldn't be happier! Big hugs to you and your family!
