She sent me a beautiful snowflake ornament that she purchased from an art gallery near her home. I wish I had a picture on our tree, because I am sure it will look beautiful against the lights! (Everything is packed right now so you'll have to settle for this phone PIP, which doesn't do it justice.)
I also got two yummy recipes, one for Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake and one for her Grandma's White Velvet Cream Cheese Cookies. They look delish and I plan to bake them for sure before Christmas once I am unpacked in my new kitchen.
Bwahahahahaha! I love the whimsy! If you can't tell, it's a rubber chicken. And it's been well documented here that I collect chickens... Thanks Sassafras! You nailed it.
Glad you got a kick out of it. When you mentioned chickens and then I saw that, I couldn't resist.
I went to the mailbox while on the phone with MIL. See a box, it's from IN and I'm like "YES! I GOT BOILER!!!! SWEEET! This is like, guaranteed awesome!" To which MIL replied, "huh?" So I told her I had to go. I'm sure she thought I was having an episode.
She even wrapped it pretty:
And inside:
LOVE THEM!!!! They're absolutely perfect! I didn't want to share my mantle on the holiday decor thread because it was just all wrong:
But now, the owls tie the wreath into the rest of it!!!
Yay! I'm so glad you like it! I have to say, when I got your name I was intimidated. You always have such good taste in everything! I had to bring my A-game.

Haha, oh no! You did a fabulous job! I thought the stationery on top was really pretty too. Can't wait to try your recipes - they look delicious!
Did I not give my last name? Looking at the way it's addressed...? My elfster account's old and I never thought to see how I had set it up.
It only had your first name when I clicked for the address, not sure if there was another place to click for it. I figured you were probably the only person with your first name there. =)
Thank you sjh722! I absolutely love my beautiful ornaments! We ate getting our tree tomorrow and I'm so excited to put the ornaments on. I can't wait to make the yummy recipe for my family they will be thrilled! Merry Christmas SH!

Thank you Boiler!!! I love them!!!
I'm so glad you like them!! I remember reading your post and thinking "hmmm, animals, rustic, and glitter....how am I going to do this?!?" And then I saw the owls at West Elm and may have done some dances in the store. Then I freaked out that because they were clips they didn't count as ornaments and I would get voted off the D&R island!
They fit perfect with your decor. I love your mantle.

I have to post a photo of mine later but Emo sent me a beautiful little angel and an awesome bird and both look wonderful on my tree! The recipes are also right up my alley and I can't wait to try them. Thanks!!!
I don't have any loot yet and my person hasn't posted to make sure they got it. I hope it arrived ok. It was sent last week. what if they hate it? Eek!
Oh good, you got it! I so hoped you would like it; I got it at a sweet little shop where everything is made locally. I was specifically looking for birds, and I loooved that. I almost bought one for myself. I still may. lol
ETA: thewop - did you sign your card? because I got two amazing ornaments, but I don't know who they are from!

The package should have included a note that said Happy Holidays from TheWop. Oh well.

OH! Oops. Those weren't from me. Sorry. I thought you were simply asking if I put a note in the package I sent my person. Sorry.
