Just had to share

This Valentine's Day finds our family all coughy, stuffy and sneezy. It's also quite drizzly outside so my plans for the day are rather moot. While I cuddle with the little ones today and attempt a few crafts I thought I'd share with you the fantastical gifts that our favourite Colorado couple sent to us a while back but that I didn't have time to document to share. Jessie is a super crafty lady and spared no attention to detail in creating this year's festive gifts for Brea and Rhys. I don't know if I get a bigger kick out of the gifts or just reading the packaging they come in ;o) Hope you chuckle in delight as much as I did when we opened the box.

Brea's gift: "For the artiste on the go, a coloring book bag with jaunty coloring device pouch. Whether doodling in Madrid or scribbling in Mozambique, this bag gets around; wherever you go, it's sure to follow!"

Rhys's gift: "Hola! I am Senor Ronaldo, Master of Intrigue and decider of which socks to wear. I was born south of the border in New Mexico. One day a crew of fierce sea urchins attacked my small pet store and ran off with my true love, Senorita Janice, a beautiful gecko. I vowed then and there to hunt down the culprits and make Janice mine. After decades of searching I came upon the lovely Janice singing at a karaoke bar in Dallas. Come to find out the sea urchins had been hired to save her by her fiancee Carl, an earnest eel. My quest resolved, I stowed away in this box hoping a wee person might find me and take me in. I offer many skills including lost mitten detection, soft shell break dance moves, and, of course, a penchant for snuggling. Perhaps you will have me?"
