My SS box had a Nebraska post mark so I *assumed* it was from Jacqui. We are friends so I was very excited that she was my SS. So because it was the only present I'd get for Christmas I waited to open it. I was SO excited because I knew that Jacqui would get me something great. Every day I picked up that box, it was 6" X 7" X 9", I shook it and I smelled it and I really tried to figure out what it was. So Christmas morning with my hair flying all over my head and still in my robe without make up I ran to the tree and started to open my box. Lots of bubble wrap, oh, chocolate...about a pound of chocolate, dark good chocolate. A small thing wrapped in more bubble wrap. Of course that alone is a fun present, I love popping it, so I unwrapped more bubble wrap, holy cow how much of that stuff is there??? Now thick drawing paper and lots of tape. Jeeze! Hard to get in with only one hand...finally in...OMG! Beautiful, just beautiful. And the smell of fresh paint. This was hand painted. I grew still just taking it in. I held my breath, turning it around in my hand and looking at every mark. A small turtle hand painted to look like this...
And the back looks like this, but by that time I had water from my eyes so I couldn't see very well. A hand painted present with so much consideration, what a wonderful gift. You couldn't have picked out anything better. So for my only Christmas gift it was perfect. Dead on perfect and I am touched that you would take so much time and thought to do that for me. Hand painted. Thank you so much Mark, thank you so very much for being so considerate. And to sign with such humor I laughed out loud when I could finally read it...
Be sure to notice the signature sun glasses... that tickled me so...
ignore the date, I don't know how to change it...
