I was afraid I gave my Santa too much information to even process, but it looks like they understood everything just fine since they gave me an absolutely amazing gift!

Bats top my long list of favorite animals, and since my bedroom is one of the sunniest rooms in the house, the cute little stained glass bat earned a prime spot by my bed where the sun will hit it every morning. I didn't get a shot of my walls, but his colors match my room really well too.

I don't think I even mentioned the fact that I love sharks, so the anatomical model must have been the result of some Sherlock Holmes-type sleuthing/deducing skills. It's just the right mix of morbid, scientifically fascinating, and cute (it's a teeny tiny shark with even tinier babies!) to be right up my alley.

There were a few confusing moments when I was assembling it since the instructions were kinda vague and obviously translated from another language, but I think I did a pretty good job!
