Belated Christmas Present

Strange things sometimes happen when mailing via APO. Truly, my Christmas present from my best friend was mailed before the tenth of December. I picked it up from the post office today - it had been sitting somewhere forgotten for months! Isn't this great?

These are little watchmakers' storage cylinders and their own metal box! The box got slightly dented in the looooong transit, but isn't it neat? He separated out all kinds of small stone beads and watch parts so I can use it immediately to embellish things. I love it! I've never seen anything like it, either.

WOW that definitely is from a "crafter" to be so precise and considerate! Enjoy your gift and am thankful it finally arrived!

What a wonderful surprise to receive at any time, but especially in the midst of winter blahs! Now, to make a CQ top for that tin, hmmmm.

Absolutely wonderful suprise. Unbelievable that it took so long.

What a cool gift Meg. Great bead storage, and you get to "steam punk' to your hearts content!!

Yep, it's a wonderful gift and he did it exactly so I could steampunk! I love it. He crafts, in his way. He's a photographer (the one who does all my pictures in Kosovo) and paints Warhammer miniatures.
