How thrilled I was to find Edgar's handwork on my doorstep:
•••
So many items were fished out of the packing peanuts! The lolly is a truffle chocolate! (I'm pretty sure it is from Walgreens, if anyone wants one. I worked there during my High School days and I can spot their packaging from a mile. Also, I studied Graphic Design post-secondary, so that might also be why. They have really great seasonal items; just a couple of aisles, but it's pretty unique stuff for good prices. It's my favorite place to buy Christmas Tree stuff. Just don't buy Ritz crackers, unless you're comfortable paying $7 for a box of 'em, lol. Okay, back to the action!)
Did you want to see the card? No? Well, I did. :D It's a darling Wizard of Oz colourplate crop from one of the original Frank L. Baum books. I'm honestly not too much of a fan of the famous musical, but I DO sure like Return to OZ, with its Jim Henson puppetry and Drew Struzan poster.
*ahem*
The wrapped stuff: Candies, a bejeweled heart frame, Prairie Schooler's Santa Rides (Yay, now I can scratch that one off the ol' wish list. I'm deciding if I should do the ship first--most Norwegian--or the baloon--most wacky.) And, also a wonderful packet of California Poppy seeds. I LOVE poppies 'cause they are so pretty, and I was inordinately thrilled to receive some! I'm not sure if Edgar included them because he read me gushing about them, or because (as I noticed) they are a favorite exchange inclusion of his, but I am so excited to see if I can get 'em growing! I'm not much of a green thumb, but this is worth a go! :D Also, they are singularly appropriate to the Oz Theme. ;)

Okay, it's off to see what's for dinner and to start work on the upcoming Easter exchange! I'm feeling good about it because now that the partners have been assigned I find that the design I was mulling over in my head should be JUST right. :D
Yours as long as I don't have to come out from under the Sunbeam Blanket,

Hi. I've found your blog via KarenV. What a lovely gift! I've not seen this chart, but I'm hit or miss with the alphabet series. I love how it is finished. Your BBD Souvenir de France is gorgeous, too! Best,
