You people will by God act like a team, or at least like people who know each other, or I'll incinerate the bunch of you here and now.
On it. Hopefully things just went out late!

If your Santa is truly AWOL, we'll see if anyone wants to adopt you.

If my Santa is waiting for me to post about receiving my gift, I haven't actually been home to receive any packages. :kiddo: it's been a busy couple weeks. Sorry!

Dear Santa Biffmotron:

I love the inks! Tons of fun colors that I've never used before. I'm really looking forward to inking my pens up with these.

Thank you for the pens! The Levenger Aero-D is gorgeous, I'm hoping it'll work well for me. It looks like the cartridge, uh, had an accident during shipment, but it's nothing I can't handle.

A festive Saturnalia indeed!

Hopefully everyone is sorted out by now, but if you haven't gotten (or sent) anything by now, please shoot me an email or pm.

Nothing yet, but I did receive your email a few days back.

I’m waiting to find out if my Santee got the gifts I sent out!

Big thanks to Pixelante for offering to adopt me as a Secret Santa orphan after two others bailed - that was really kind of you! Got a fistful of ink samples, including some that I had never even heard of (Montblanc Swan Illusion and Noodler's Blue Upon the Plains of Abraham, specifically), a lovely card, and a very nice Rhodia pocket notebook which will certainly find a home in my scrub top. They Play-doh was also a nice touch. I think Swan Illusion will be the first one to try!

Swan Illusion is probably my favourite right now. It's a really subtle grey/brown that seems to get darker as it dries. Blue Upon the Plains is a Canadian-exclusive. PlaneGuy says it's prone to clogging so you might need to water it down a bit, per Noodler-standards. (He also contributed the Fuyu-Gaki.)

The playdoh is to hold ink samples so you don't tip them over on your desk!

Many thanks to PlaneGuy for their contribution, too! I have a bottle of diluted photoflo that really helped Noodler's Kung Te-Cheng, so I'll be sure to add a touch to the sample to help it's flow.

Regarding the playdoh... that is brilliant! I've had more sample spills than I would like to admit.

Looks like your gift came today:



A Wing Sung 601A - a brand that I have heard lots of really good things about, but had never pulled the trigger on, so I am pretty excited to try it out. An interesting mix of a typical pump-filler Parker 51 body and cap, but with a Sheaffer Triumph tubular nib. Has a nice ink window and seems like it will seal very nicely. Also really love the army green color, as a huge chunk of my ink collection is devoted to murky greens. Very cool!

There is a sample of the lovely Sailor Tokiwa-matsu that Pixelante/PlaneGuy gifted me, so that will certainly have to be the first fill. Thank y'all for the great gifts, it really made my week :)

Hope to see y'all for the next Secret Santa!
