Why did mine not get there yet? I am disturbed.

In this episode I attempt to simultaneously ease your mind and leave you disturbed all over again.

(The package arrived sometime yesterday and was left on my porch.  I saw it when I was on my way out to play last night.  I opened it up this morning.)

Pics! Because waiting 'til the last day before I leave home isn't good enough, I have waited 'til the last hour.

Thank you, Cort! This is an awesome gift, so unique. I feel...worldlier.

It's a custom-designed piece of art, and the CD (I just found out via chat) has 3 songs that the songwriter/singer wrote specifically for my son! I will get 2 more installments of art (and maybe music? we'lll find out!) over the next 2 months from different artists chosen by Cort. I think he can explain it better, though.

Edit: Check out the flicker photoset, the captions explain a lot.

I got her a 3 month subscription to Project Dispatch. So each month she'll get some kind of art from a different artist around the country.

This package is a CD with 3 songs written by Dominick Parris and his son Jones (age 4). The songs were written with Little P in mind. Rachel England sewed the holder-dealie and created the inserts.

The other installments will likely be different. I'd asked for it to be two random artists but Nick had so much fun he was talking about taking over the whole subscription.

The other artists do everything from music to collage to paintings. My favorite is a woman who takes those little pyramid photo-viewers you get at amusement parks and in front of the pictures she puts tiny figurines of animals to create a 3D effect.

Not really Secret Santa, but awhile ago I expressed interest in this Daisy Owl poster. Bluemoon said she'd be happy to get it for me, and lo and behold, it showed up yesterday! Looks just like the picture, except signed by Ben Driscoll.

It also included a sweet little note from Bluemoon by way of Ben, with a cool little doodle of Mr Owl on it, thusly:

(pen included to show scale)

So, thanks a million to Mr Driscoll and the inimitable Ms Bluemoon! I plan on mounting and/or framing this thing someplace.

Today I received a package from a certain Asherdan.

It's a 45/70 Government cartridge with a hosshair brush from the tail of the hoss made famous via many posts here.

I appreciate holding back on the key ring aspect.



I read the letter describing it before I opened the actual package which left me with quite the interesting mental picture of what was inside. The part about hoss Farts was particularly vivid.
