I was intrigued when I saw my SS was sending my gift from overseas. It may have been a longer wait for the present, but it was very worth it, as my SS DELIVERED, figuratively and literally (well, kinda, as it would have been expensive to hand deliver the present all the way from Australia to the States)! :-D

I was on pin and needles waiting to see what would show up on my doorstep. One rainy/snowy day, I saw a sweet little Toy Story gift wrapped box on my doorstep, placed carefully by the nice post man away from the cold and the wet. I went inside my house and took a few pictures, sad that I would have to tear away the awesome wrapping to get to the goodies. After I sliced the box open, the presents were nestled in bunches and bunches of sparkly strings (which my cat got into immediately and tried to eat). I was swirling my hands through the strings and found SO MANY little gifts, almost all individually wrapped!!

THANK YOU SS for delivering and getting me my biggest wish this year: a rubber chicken. I'm glad I don't have dogs at my house because my cats would rather play with string. :-) EVERYTHING WAS SO CUTE!!!!! The poor little koala eraser lost an ear while I was trying to unwrap it, but I'll get him fixed up soon. I really, really love everything in here. The tidy bin is AWESOME and I think I might use it at my makeup vanity to toss my cotton swabs and tissues. The journals are going to be great for my scribblings and stories. And the chocolate was so, so yummy. Thank you for including the Cadbury chocolate with VEGEMITE too!! I have always wanted to try vegemite... and it was very salty, like others have said. I thought it was great combined with the chocolate and caramel. Unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would like, because my stupid boyfriend, who "hated" it when I had him try some, ended up eating the whole after half of it. GRRRR. He's getting a spider for Christmas.

I haven't gotten a Christmas present that made me feel like a kid again, wondering what would be inside the box. This is my second year doing this exchange, and this present is even better than last year's. :-) Thank you for being awesome and doing this exchange! Merry Christmas to you and have a happy new year! I hope I get to visit you cool Australians someday! :-D :-D
