mystery birthday package...

so...
the other day on twitter...(january 3rd, to be exact)
everyeskimo posted about the latest addition to her etsy shop...

of course, me (being me) got all needy and wanted it immediately.
(it was a bunny rabbit...the one thing i cannot resist)
i posted a tweet, something to the effect of, if anyone wants to buy
me a birthday gift...please buy me this...with a link to a rabbit named jack.
i was SO in love with him...
i faved him on etsy and was almost tempted to reserve him for myself...
well, naught but 2 hours later (possibly less)
i went back to try and reserve him...and he had been sold.
my only hope was that he went to a good home.

then, today, matt checks the mailbox and says i have a package.
i'm all, from who? where?
and i saw the cute little bunny tape across the top of the box...
i touched my name on the front
(i LOVE getting packages)
and i slowly cut the tape on the sides...
i opened the box and inside was some golden tissue paper,
wrapped to perfection.
i slowly unwrapped it...and inside was jack!
i squealed and then started crying. (i'm such a big baby sometimes)
and there were so many other little things to enjoy...
little pig straight pins, (thanks, regina!) a photo of uncle elmer (that i love)
this package was sent with so much tender loving care,
i loved every little bit about it.

so, mystery birthday gift sender...whomever you may be...
i love this bunny so dearly, and thank you so very much for making my day!!!

and regina, thank you for the kind email
after i blabbered on about receiving such an amazing surprise.
(sort of like i am blabbering now)
but it was amazing...and perfectly timed...
and he will be so loved and cherished...
