12 Days of Christmas 2021 Gallery

I’m glad you like the chocolates! I’m not usually a fan of chocolate assortment boxes but we got these last year and there wasn’t a single bad piece!

I was worried they wouldn’t get here in time so had also ordered some backup chocolates (dark chocolate covered vegan marshmallows with crushed candy canes on the outside). But yours arrived in time so I had to eat the backup chocolates, oh darn :joy:

Here’s my day 1 from @photojenn

First a group shot. Everything wrapped so neatly ( and in paper I can reuse for mixed media art!)

And #1 is the tiniest needlepoint of van gogh’s starry night. I can’t even imagine stitching something that small. It’s awesome!

Pen for size

And an action shot

My day one is awesome but it had me confused.

I opened to find this box

I didn’t remember mentioning a like of kittens. But what I actually got was way better

A cute little card and inchie dice. I said that I like inchies but wouldn’t know what to do with them. Gift and solution in one!
These are so cute.

I finally opened my package from @jemimah we both sent way early so I had to put it away or be sorely tempted.

So exciting, flamingo fabric gift bags!!

Day 1
This lovely colourful key ring, which I really need as I’ve nothing only keys on mine. I’ll enjoy seeing this every day. And this gorgeous lip balm. The packaging is fab, the wax seal made me smile, for reasons (!)

White gel pens. So funny we sent each other gel pens. And I was just thinking about buying more white ones as mine are all run out. And metal straws!

A cute pen box and a family of dinos!

Really cool cards

And a cute whale tissue holder.

The tissues come out of his blowhole lol

I’ve been pretty silent and missing on here for a while. Life has been stressful since school started - my teaching year has been rough. Plus some family health ups and downs. Plus summer I was diagnosed with MS, and started treatment last week which I’m reacting to. And then we had to put our family pet down very suddenly on Friday. All of this to say I’m sorry for being silent and that I’m really really ready for some holiday cheer.

I did manage to trade parcels with Robin’s family, though she is still out of town so doesn’t get to open yet. :slightly_frowning_face:

But I can’t wait. I got this awesome travel mug as a Day 0:

And for Day 1, this great zippered pouch, that I feel like was from my request for a safe place to put my jewelry during MRIs. It’s soft and perfect and I love it. :purple_heart:

Omg. I am the Nerd Games captain, but maybe I need my title revoked… :woman_facepalming:t3:

My hubby and I were looking at the photos shared here together, and I wondered aloud why your travel cup said Imperial Coffee on it, but showed a gas mask. He was like… uhhhh… it’s from Star Wars. That’s a storm trooper, not a gas mask. :joy:

@saintcady you’ve had a very tough time. I hope opening these packages brings you some cheer.

I’m living all the day 0’s I had to pare my package to @jemimah to the bone to be able to get days 1&12 in, I could have sent so much more.
