Very cute!

This exchange suffered from some delay on both my gifter's and my part, apologies all around <3.

The postal service brought me a big envelope in my mailbox, it's an envelope from our local amazon competitor, but clearly not shipped by them. My gifter said they had issues finding a post office that was open on times they were available, so I already knew they were shipping themselves, which is always lovely :).

When I open the envelope I find some very nicely wrapped gifts and a lovely card. I love the green wrapping paper with hearts, it's so cute! The card has very sweet blushing beets on it, and on the back a lovely message from my gifter wishing me a lot of joy in writing/journaling, thank you gifter!

The gifts are all labeled on the back with what they're for, one says "for journaling & dog loving" so that immediately piques my interest. I adore dogs <3. When I open the package I find a lovely ring bound notebook with a pair of cartoon puppers asking for a walk, it's adorable! Since it's spiral bound I think I'll reserve it for making my lesson plans for the dog training school where I teach at. When I give the lessons I put my plan on small notes, which I tape into the lesson plan notebook afterwards to make sure I can look back and see what I've done in past lessons. I'm going to keep this cute dog notebook in reserve for when I fill my current dog training notebook!

The second package I open says it's for my shopping lists, something I asked for since my other notepad is almost used up. But opening it up, the first thing I notice is another cute cartoon dog. Not only is it a notebook, but also a set of really cute stickers! I don't use a lot of stickers myself, but I think I will enjoy putting these on any envelopes or packages I will send out in the future. The grocery pad has very nice thin paper in a bright color that will be easy to find in my bag. I always take multiple reusable bags to the grocery store, and then spend a while trying to find my shopping list, hopefully this color will help me spot it sooner!

The third and final package says 'for writing'. It's some stabilo markers! I really enjoy this brand, they're nice to write with and I like how they feel to hold since they're very thin. I've recently gotten into making greeting cards, so I'm sure these colors will also come in handy for that hobby.

Thank you santa! Sorry for posting a bit later :).
