2008 ended wonderfully. I had a lot of fun with the Advent game and enjoyed the gifts and cards I received too.
Thanks to Dawn (card), Steffi (card and a wonderful bracelet - where did I put it for the picture??), Steve (for his little booklet), Sterntau (postcard) and David (I received his little comic, which I will be posting about later).
Even better: This year I received Chanukah gifts from Benjamin. Usually I´m in charge of taking care of the gifts for the family, but this year I was lucky. I received loads of great gifts from him. What a great, great surprise. Thanks!

Today is the last day of the Advent Game. I really did enjoy searching for the gifts, wrapping and sending them off. It did strain my wallet, but it was worth it. Today the two last recipients were chosen.
First of all Miriam asked for "a magical pillow that will send her a deep and dreamless sleep every night for 8 hours". As it was pretty late for sending off stuff I searched the net and found a dream pillow at Etsy."Enjoy a deep and restful sleep by tucking this aromatic & beautiful little pillow inside your pillowcase at night."
Mim, I know that this might be a dust catcher and that it may not be the right gift specially with your husband being allergic. But as usual I think it is a nice gift to pass along - in case you have no use for it or don´t like it.
The second gift will be for Benjamin. He wished for a drawing yesterday - pretty late, but this will be the opportunity to draw a picture which will not leave our place. All the drawings I´ve done so far (except in my moleskines) have been presents, so I could never really show anybody my work. This will change now.
To everybody who wished for some gifts, but didn´t receive any: I do hope your wishes will get fullfilled for you too.

Today, I´m posting picks of wrapped parcels, as I will send of the packages on Monday. I don´t want to reveal the surprise.
Blog Queen is looking for the real meaning of life and maybe, with the gift, she´ll receive a few answers. Or maybe it will just help her to relax. :)
Miriam asked for a handmade ornament for their Christmas tree or a horse themed mobile for their childrens rooms. I´ll be making something else. I went to Perlmuttchen and bought some stuff there for a little handmade gift. I have to admit that I don´t know where I put the bag, so I´ll have to complete and send it off later. But it wouldn´t make it to the States in time for Xmas anyway.
Here are pics of the gifts.

This week I had even less time than usual. So both packages go to German readers. I had two ladies wishing for their own Prince Charming.
I do not know Sterntau, but loved her name (translates to "Stardew"). She received her personal full-magnetic-Prince Charming. He´s not made of Marzipan, but still he can be useful.
Paulina had a very long list of characteristics (see the comment section) her Mr. Right would need to have, so she received a package of putty to make him herself. A set of instructions is included to make her dreams come true.
Sterntau und Paulina, I wish both of you luck next year in finding the right one.

Friday the next two packages went out. The white tiger envelope goes to Australia to Emma. Her art is wonderful and I´m glad I´m in a Moly Exchange group with her. It wasn´t easy buying moleskines and then deciding to let go of them again. ;) I´m glad I´ve got a substitute.
Dorin gets the second package. Actually he was suposed to receive it later, but another gift I ordered hasn´t yet arrive at my place. Dorin asked for Cookies with an erotic twist. Currently I don´t have a lot of time, so I sent him Kamasutra chocolate instead. Then I found his wishlist on amazon, so I could send him a book too.
Thanks to Dawn (card), Steffi (card and a wonderful bracelet - where did I put it for the picture??), Steve (for his little booklet), Sterntau (postcard) and David (I received his little comic, which I will be posting about later).
