First, an adorable card with a handwritten message on the inside, wishing me luck in my educational adventures, a holiday greeting and I think my Santa read my blog, which gives me the warm and fuzzies. But like, not in a weird way.

My Santa pretty much read my mind or hacked my thoughts or ate my brain, I got this adorable muffin and cupcake recipe book. I love cupcakes more than I love breathing. I already have about 5 different baked treats from the book picked out to make for Christmas, both for eats and sharing.

But wait, there's more! I'm a photography major and right now I'm big into film projects, I'm currently enrolled in film processing classes. So under the book of everything tasty was something that made me shit myself.

A create your own pinhole camera kit, with materials to build a pinhole camera that actually looks like a camera, and with it came a book filled with gorgeous photographs taken with pinholes. I'm building up my book collection and it was like two gifts in one!

I already have film on hand and I can't wait to start shooting later tonight. I've never used a pinhole camera before, which is weird because that is a photo 101 staple. I'm so stupidly excited, I feel like a golden retriever who was given a kong full of peanut butter or something.

Thank you so much, quantumparadigm, this was way more than I was expecting!!
