Advent calendar happiness
Just some advent calendar happiness, because my advent calendar is awesome. :D
Yesterday (1st December), I received a cute little leporello sketchbook (and tea and chocolate). Ironically, it's the same size as the tiny sketchbook I'm currently working on, but the nice person who made my advent calendar of course could not know this. (She must have started planning the whole thing, like, a month ago!) So this is just a funny coincidence. :) But the new sketchbook also contains watercolor paper (very thoughtful ^^) and the funny long format makes me want to draw a panorama... ... ...later. After I've finished my picture book. XD
Today (2nd December, and yes, I open the day's parcels directly after midnight which maybe defies the point, but whatever, I'm not good at waiting for things) I had HANDMADE THINGS!!! I absolutely LOVE crafty things, and this time I received handmade socks and a self-made scrunchie in light blue with golden shimmer! :D (And green tea and chocolate again.)
This is fun and inspiring and makes me happy in an otherwise fairly horrible year. My advent calendar was made by someone I don't know very well - I think I've only met her online so far (or maybe once or twice at a con, I forget these things, sorry, but anyway, not a close real-life contact) - but she's a super nice person who clearly put a lot of thought and effort into this advent calendar event thing. :D It's not even about getting stuff (I mean, I can buy things and make things; not the point at all) but about... Personal interaction? Care? So, YAY! :D
