Now that Christmas and my Birthday are over, I’m sharing my bounty. Let’s start with Christmas. I love mermaids. Everyone knows I love mermaids. And my gifts for Christmas reflected my love of mermaids. I don’t normally brag about the gifts I get but I couldn’t resist showing off the beautiful mermaids I recieved.
Christmas
First up is a BEAUTIFUL art piece my daughter created for me. It is so wonderful, I thought it would be a shame to keep it to myself.

This doesn’t do it justice. You can get lost staring at all it’s details in the hair and tail. There are all these little shapes that she does free hand. It’s gorgeous.
My hubby surprised me with a stunning mermaid print that he had framed. I’m shooting through glass so there’s glare and the colors aren’t as vibrant but just trust me, it’s soooo pretty.

I can’t wait until we put her up on a wall!
My son gave me this adorable jewelry box. I don’t have anything in it yet but I’m trying to decide what’s a worthy enough treasure to go in there. 🙂

This one speaks for itself.
Birthday
Once again, my family knows me well. My daughter got me delicious caramel covered apples and chocolate covered strawberries. Yum!
My son got me this:

I want to take this with me to Ren Faire in March. I just have to be super careful not to break it!
The one that got my attention the most was from my hubby. He gave me this:
That’s right! They’re stamps! Legitimate postage! I can’t wait to use them. It’s one of my dolls with a picture I took and it even says yochet.com on the side! I can’t wait to mail something out!
Best presents ever!
Those are really wonderful gifts. And I’m very intrigued by those stamps!

Right?! I didn’t know you could custom make your own postage. My husband ordered them on zazzle. I hope to use them on something crochet related.

Thank you! I sure was spoiled this year. I have my daughter’s art piece on a wall next to my computer so I can look at it everyday. It makes me smile every time. Not just because it’s beautiful, which it is, but because she took the time to make it. And the stamps! I still can’t believe I have Yochet stamps! 🙂

Being a mermaid lover myself, I can’t help but fawn over your beautiful mermaids. Also, I learned something new…now I know you can make stamps out of anything you love—or hate 😏.

Mermaids rule! Now you got me thinking of things I hate that I can put on a stamp. LOL

What amazing presents!! Your family are brilliant 😀 I only heard about making your own stamps the other day and now here they are again, such a clever idea. I wonder if we can get them in the UK

I was so surprised they were real. I still haven’t used them because I hardly mail anything out! I can’t wait to try them, though.
