So a Greek Geek came Bearing a Gift and it was far from one to beware of. Thanks Nik for my next Joseph Conrad read; you’re a super Secret Santa! Happy Holidays to you and to everyone in EyeWire. (Amy, thanks for doing this.)

Woohoo, and I was one of them!! Thanks Amy, I love the paints and brushes, and of course the CHOCOLATE to keep my painting energy up!

Everything was snugly tucked into this great Stocking.

A rainbow of watercolor paints and brushes! With a Mecha Santa card (does Santa look like Jamie from Mythbusters to anyone else??) , and …

YUMMIES!

A totally wonderful bunch of gifts, thank you Amy!

Found the cutest little package waiting for me in the mailbox when I got home today!

Love love love the keychain, the picture cannot do justice about how cool it is! You can actually see through the lenses and the image is inverted just like in a real eye! It also opens so you can see the internal structures!

Thank you so much CeliaD!!!
