The Great Big Christmas Thank You Post

[alisanne]

So, I guess it's time. I have been procrastinating in doing this, not because I don't want to, but because every time I start I kind of tear up a bit. They are happy tears, though, so that's at least good.
Anyway, it's past time I said a public thank you to all of you who took the time to send me Christmas cards and gifts and good wishes. They were all very appreciated!

First off, thank you to the wonderful rakina, who sent me some adorable things, including the Snape finger puppet (Draco loves to play with him. ;)) and who, on top of that, wrote the hottest Christmas fic for her flist. *snuggles*
themadscriptor sent me an Amazon gift certificate! Thank you, my dear! You've no idea how handy that will be. *hugs*
I got chocolate and tea and the most GORGEOUS card from the darling lesyeuxverts *cuddles*, awesome Snarry magnets, chocolate and the sweetest bondage card (yeh, I know, weird to say that but I swear it was!) from accioslash, and a deluge of cards from knic26, wolfiekins and koshweasley, dracoluvah (such a pretty card!), my darling sevfan, cblue9 (what an awesome card, and I love the fabric stickers!), r_grayjoy who sent me a glistening card, (yes, we both have clearly been in fandom too long *g*), hd_obsession, _the_firedancer, animehime and celandineb (who also sent me home with bread and a drabble! Eee!).
And my dearest sassy_cissa deserves a special mention. She overwhelmed me with cookies and chocolate and cider and hot chocolate and, in a move that stunned me, she commissioned me some Snarry art.
Wait until you see this, flist. It's by the incredibly talented oldenuf2nb. Get ready to drool!


The RL pic is amazing. *happy sigh*

And that's all for now. I hope I haven't missed anyone. If I did it's prolly cuz of the US postal service more than anything.
*hugs everyone*

Glad to know that you like the card!*g*

Now that's some art! My laptop is all drooled on!
Heck! Even the cat is drooling! XD
You're one lucky duck!*g*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Mm, yes, I do feel very fortunate. :)
And yes, I had to put a computer guard up so as not to drool directly into the keyboard.

The card was lovely! *bounces*

Hee! I had forgotten I sent you a bondage Christmas card. ;D No wonder people are afraid to open mail from me. Well, that and the confetti. ;D

I'm glad you had a good holiday, hon. And thanks for sharing one of your pressies. The art is lovely.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hahahaha! I was careful with the confetti. *g*
The card is very... inspiring. ;)

And yes, I am in love with my art. *bounces*
Thanks again for your inspiring pressies, which were awesome!

Thank you for sharing that picture. *fans self* Is it wrong I want to see Draco playing with the Severus finger puppet?

Your hat is a mix of green wool and yarn. I need to spin a bit more before I start on the knitting.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hahahaha! I'll have to take a pic of Draco and the Sev puppet. *g*

Eeeeeeee! *bounces excitedly*

Your art

I'd never drawn this pairing before, nor...hem hem...rampant male anatomy...so I'm really glad that you liked it! And Sassy_cissa is the best. Merry Christmas!

Re: Your art

Isn't she fantastic? She's both an amazing author AND artist... and no, not saying that because I'm one of her betas. I loff her!!!!!
