Even if it had not been a stressful couple of weeks, I still would have gotten a kick out of seeing this come in the mail, but this was very good timing.

When you get a box in the mail that looks like this you know you're in for a treat.

The second gift is the innards; great paper shreds I can use in one of my next projects.

After digging a little in the shred up comes this! Okay, the box is like its own work of art and is a gift in itself.

Then there's the "almost there but Christmas is in a few minutes" feeling.

And there it is...

...Voila! Sorry I couldn't get a good photo of it on my finger but it's beautiful. I know it may seem trivial to some but it's a little "happy" I look down at when things are getting too serious. Now that's art!
