Let me first start off by saying my words don't even get close to expressing how great this gift is, I'm totally blown away by the generosity of my Santa. I always leave my descriptions open ended and wow, did they hit the nail on the head with this one.

I arrived home from work to a fairly large, unexpected package on my doorstep today. My boyfriend is participating in the Audiophile exchange, and I thought it must be his package.

You can imagine my surprise when the shipping label said "c/o Wuornos" ... What could this be? A long lost gift from an exchange gone by? I knew my bookmark had been delivered because of the tracking number, but couldn't figure out what this surprise was (the fact that I had a tracking number for a bookmark should have been a clue!)

Guys, I'm gonna go all caps here: MY SANTA DIDN'T SEND ME A BOOKMARK, THEY SENT ME A WHOLE FREAKING KIT TO MAKE MY OWN BOOKMARK OUT OF RECYCLED PAPER!!! Yes, Santa, you've combined my interests perfectly - I never could have imagined that this is what you would send!

I told my Santa that I love crafting and reading, and I'm a Pacific Northwest girl so anything natural, organic, or handmade suits me perfectly.

But there's more! My Santa did not know that I am involved with a dog rescue that helps find forever homes for senior-aged dogs so they don't have to live out the remainder of their lives in animal shelters. When I hear that one of our friends has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I send their humans a card - I've been purchasing them on Etsy - that contains recycled paper with forget-me-not seeds embedded in it so that they can plant a living memorial of their lost friend. Now, I can make these cards myself!!

Again, Santa, you really went 1,000 times beyond what was expected or needed with this exchange, and I really can't thank you enough for such a fantastic gift!!
