RAKed! RAK of Wonders!!
Okay guys. We need to have a talk. XD what's this whole "Oh, let's RAK Merlin! It'll be great!" thing you guys have going on? Because all of you are crazy. And I love you. And I also know why I was getting some random questions from people lately.... BUT! I must say, I was extremely surprised to find I had been selected for Q2's RAK! And I am utterly blown away by everyone's kindness.
So, let's roll the footage.
First up we've got @summerskin who snuck hers in with my Secret Santa gift. At first I was like, "hrm, maybe she got the wrong memo. There's no way I'm getting RAKed again." so I decided to just set it aside. But when the rest came, I suppose my fate was just sealed! So I unsealed hers. XD
Suffice it to say, summerskin is a True Original and had a delightfully themed gift! Some Mickey jelly beans! Some other delicious treats which defy description (it's like a sort of chocolate marshmallow? It's delicious and weird XD). And this great Pin-Tiquities pin!! I traded mine a year or so ago and haven't been able to replace it, so this is awesome. defo not trading it away again. Fool me once and all that. XD Thank you so very much, Amanda :3 you just showered me with kindness and I can't express how much I appreciate it. :3 *super hug*
Next up, a big Ole package came from @Ksnuggles with lots of smaller packages inside. Veeeeery tricksy, just sending them all at once... I like it. XD
First one I pulled was from @LittleBird. Was I most excited because it means I get one of those awesome postcards? I'll let you guess (hint: it was). But not only do I get the card! Oh no, I get this great wee Mushu pin!
I have a feeling the Mulan from this pair is in your board, so it's totes like a BPFF (Best Pin Friend Forever) necklace. That's at least how I'm gonna interpret it. /nod you know I love you, but I'll say it again. ;P you da best, Kim! <3
Next envelope was from @Ajk and contained the fabulous dsf Genie pin from the live action set! I was so bummed that I didn't like Jafar's character and thus didn't want the pin, it kinda just took the wind out of my sails for this release. But after a bit, I really regretted not hunting for that Genie pin while the getting was good. BUT IT DON'T MATTER NOW! <3
Thank Aaron! <3 I really love it! so much cooler in person
Next package was from @timeerkat and I had this siiiiinking feeling I knew why our trades kept getting back-burnered..... I was right... BECAUSE SHE JUST ZAPPED THEM ALL TO ME!
LOOK! LOOK AT THIS CRAZY MEERKAT! FOUR PTDS!? ARE YOU INSANE! Not...not that it matters. Because... Well, you can't have them back... But still!! You are in trouble young lady! XD best be prepared when you come down for the event! XD But seriously, thank you!! <3 I was just showing Russ my spots for the Felicia and Fidget PTDs and agonizing over where Sugar Boy was gonna go in the case. And the Mim snake is one of my favorites! <3 and I love the bag too! Oh and the Pride Stickers!! THERE'S TOO MUCH IN HERE!! YOU'RE IN TROUBLE AGAIN!!
Ahem. Best move on.
There were also these little guys who, I honestly don't remember who sent them... It's all kind of a blur... But I do love them!! Especially little Steven!! <3
(I think it was you, Tessa. But I may be wrong...).
Finally, a big package all on its own popped up from @Shelterkat and I'm like "Oh she better not have..." But she did. As she does. And I do. Love it. So. Very. Much.
SHE SENT ME A LIGHT UP CAVE OF WONDERS LAMP. WHAT. WHAT. HOW DOES THIS EVEN EXIST. THIS IS SO COOL.
Even Russ was like "Oh damn. That's... Actually really amazing..."
Which it IS. Dawn, where does one even buy a personal Cave of Wonders!? This is too amazing. It's my offical night light in the bedroom. There was no discussion. It just happened. And my life is better for it. <3 you are incredibly too thoughtful. I can't wait to see you later this year!!! <3
Again, thank you all for this amazing kindness. I really love this community and it's gotten me through a lot over the years. <3 you're all so special, and I'm so thankful for you. :,3
But you're also all in trouble...
