@Meepledrone
Not only do you spent a lot of time to run the Advent Quizz, prepare the gifts, go to the post office and send the gifts ...
but also you must be spending a fortune to send 27 envelopes with tracking around the world....

THANK YOU for everything!!!!     +1 merit

Some little surprises is the least we could do.  :)


I am VERY excited to find out what you have prepared for us  ..... why are postal services soooooooo long? Why has nobody invented real life "beaming" yet?  ;)

Thanks!!!  ;D

... But you should have waited until you see the little something. Maybe you would like to remove the merit at that point... :o

Today the postman delivered another envelope wrapped in mystery. When I opened it I found this... This only meant @Challa007 and the guys' scheming wasn't finished yet... Didn't know what to expect!



This envelope contained another 2 envelopes, one in light green color and another one made out of plastic bubble wrap...



I was cautious this time and double checked for opening instructions...

I couldn't find any hints of them, so I proceeded to open the green envelope...



What wat this? This had to be a geeting card designed by @Snearone !!! What else could it be?
All the C3-style ornaments and on the paper and even in black inside the meeple! What a nice work!!!
...And the paper was also great to the touch.

What did the greeting card say?



Indeed, I know who to blame now... Ha ha ha!

Thanks so much to all of you who contributed to brighten my day...  ^-^

I had to read several times the card... (I was blinded by the glittery ink ;))... Glass meeples? People liking the Advent Quiz? Oh oh! The Grinch is gonna be mad....

... to be continued...

So after opening the bubble wrap envelope, i found this velvet drawstring bag... All very classy!  ^-^



What did I find inside? A very compact wrapping that took me a while to open and a couple of promo cards... but I was so excited that forgot to take any pictures...

THE END

You couldn't believe I would leave you all like this, huh?

So beside the promo cards, the bag contained these two hand-made glass meeples...



Here is a couple of closeups...





The one on the left has three layers in different colors:
* Frozen white
* Opaque white
* A thin layer of light blue

The one on the right also has three layers in two shades of azure blue and transparent as you can appreciate here:



You can also appreciate the bubble sinside the glass which cast different light effects depending on the side you are looking at... Amazing to say the least!!!

Wow! These two little meeples are outstanding piece of craftmanship!!! Totally impressive!!!

...to be continued?...

So I went back to my stash and fetched the meeples included in the roscon cake to take a family picture...

VoilĂ !



So gorgeus together!!!

But wait... I think they want to clebrate with some acrobatics! Ahhh naughty meeples! Hop hop hop!



So thank you so much, guys, for this incredible string of surprises!!! Hope you enjoyed the Advent Quiz as much as I did... The roscon cake, the personal tiles, the hand-made meeples and all these tokens of appreciation. I'm really moved!

Don't let @Challa007, the Master Schemer, and @Snearone, the Master Illustrator, lure you to their evil domains!

Thank you all for enjoying the lands of Carcassonne and their richness so much!!! ;D ;D ;D
