So I received a couple of fabulous things in February made by fellow LJers.
Rob commissioned this box for me, made by the fabulous
violalee. It's-- perfect. It makes me think of home and I can tell it was made with me in mind and it makes me feel incredibly special. So I want to thank both Rob and Tracy very much.

And finally, the artist's mark on the box bottom:
This was made for me by the budding widlife filmmaker Miss Sarah Jackson (
yellowpythonsub). And I have to say it's amazing! I think this was actually one of her beetle pets at one point. Unfortunately they were having a hard time surviving in her Montana apartment. I'd really like to know the names of both species actually if you're reading Sarah.
