Thank you, , for the awesome sigfig, custom tile and all the cool stickers you sent in your care package! I was especially touched by your handwritten AND hand-drawn corgi card!!! That was very thoughtful of you to remember how much I love corgis and to send the personalized note and drawing. This corgi reminds me of my first dog, Logan. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and sharing your talent with us!!! I hope to be streaming some pre-recorded sessions soon and will absolutely let you know when that should happen. The studio is still a mess after the move, but hopefully sometime soon! Take care and thank you again for your thoughtfulness!

Yay!!! My pre-order of a full CMF Series 25 has come in! Picked them up at Brickdiculous in time before my road trip next week! And don't worry, so many AFOLs have discussed how to figure out which figure is which, I will not add to all that info that is out there. I just like supporting our neighborhood stores and let them sort it all out! It is a great service! Thanks, !!!

Many thanks to .t.mcewen and his family for the awesome gifts! He sent me the periodic table of LEGO colors which will be very helpful in identifying all those different shades of blue!!! He also sent, enough parts to make 12 sigfigs and special orange blossom.honey from his parents' farm.

The last gift is particularly important as I haven't had honey in the last 4 years as I have been practicing a vegan diet. Much of that restriction is self-imposed as I didn't like the practices of some commercial bee farms. This raw honey is produced by a family friend using ethical practices, and I have now added honey to my list of allowable foods as long as I know the source. This honey was especially delicious with my Steve Smith Masala Chai Tea, Number 33! I may be shifting even more this year to include more options. We shall see! I am not quite there yet, but I am enjoying having this new addition to my menu!

Clearly my Secret Santa heard me squeal when I opened up this gift!!! Thank you (Carl) from for the Minecraft Panda Haven set. You can't go wrong with pandas!!! Thank you for your thoughtfulness! This will be a great set to start off the new year!

Thank you for all the amazing parts you sent. I only posted a small sampling of my Sneaky Santa gift, and he was super creative in putting together a kit of a variety of parts for me to create something unique.

Alas, the holidays set me back a bit, so my apologies for not posting this sooner. I especially love the Highwayman minifig. I now appreciate even more that poem by Alfred Npyes and the song by Loreena McKennitt. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness!

Happy Nutcracker Day (at least on the Brickanista Broadcast Network)! We had a community buildstream today with my buddies and who are awesome members of the !!!
I built two nutcrackers using my tray from , too, and really enjoyed using it!!!

We had so much fun we are returning next week at an earlier time to continue with some more holiday LEGO builds! Love our community!!! Stay tuned!!!
