So, Just a little bit of background into my last few weeks...
3 weeks ago my dad went outta town and hubs and I went to to stay with my mom so she wasn't alone. My mom has nothing physically wrong with her, but she had stopped taking care of herself and sleeps 20 hours a day... I gave her a shower, and that week was emotionally hard for me.

Last week, hubs and I went to HIS parents house to help take care of grandma's house/ get things ready for an estate sale. While there, I got sick with sinus and chest crud. Im still getting over that.

Last night, I just found out that one of my friends is pregnant. She didn't come right out and say it, but I know she is, based on her responses to my questions.

I'm happy for them. Her hubby is like a brother to me... and she's a "friend in law" so to speak. She has PCOS and they were struggling to get pregnant.

I'm hurting though. Tim and I want a baby so badly. But it just doesn't seem like it's in the cards because I also have PCOS. I'm over here about to cry. And I feel like a jerk. And a bad friend. I'm happy for them. But I'm sad for me. I'm so selfish.

I said all that to say this: God's timing is perfect. Today I came back from grabbing food and I found a box on my porch. I knew neither hubs or I had ordered anything, so I figured it must be for a different address and put on my porch by mistake.

I picked up the box and found that it had my name on it. I recognized the name Kristina... thought it might be ksnuggles... maybe a zap or something.

When I opened it, this is what I saw:

I was shocked! I IMMEDIATELY forsook my warm food and started opening!

I opened this one first:

First of all, the tsums are SO cute and squishy! I have a bunch of the vinyl ones but only 1 of the plush... so these were so cool to see!

The treats are gonna be soooo good. I've been wanting sweets for awhile, but have not partaken because I'm trying to lose some weight... but I'm gonna ration these!

And the Mulan PODM???? Oh my gracious... I didn't have any Mulan PODMs and this scene is EPIC.

Thank you so much Merlin and Aidan, I love everything and you guys ROCK!

Next, I opened this:

I love UP and Carl and Ellie are kinda The couple that Tim and I relate to in the Disney universe, so this pin is very special. I'd like to make a fantasy pin of this exact pin, but with Tim and I as Carl and Ellie.

The wardrobe pin is one of the first pins that I saw on pinpics that I wanted and I'm stoked to have it in my collection now!

Thank you Christine for your kindness and the super awesome zap! I love them!

Then, I opened this package:

I LOVE this set! I already had Alice, so I was hoping that I'd get other ones, and I did!!!! Cheshire and Mad Hatter are so awesome and I'm SO excited to have gotten them! Now I need the rest of the set lol!

Thank you so much, Dawn for the surprise within a surprise! I love them both!!!

Next, I opened this package:

I LOVE stickers and hot air balloons are kinda an obsession.

I have needed chapstick for so long and these smell delicious... and the little magic towels are so cute!

Again, gonna have to ration these because of a lack of self control LOL But I love almonds and chocolate and I cannot wait to dig into these!

I think this is supposed to be Elsa... she's GORGEOUS! I will be placing her on a shelf, not on my tree where the cats will break it. LOL

I THINK this is supposed to be Alice, but I'm not sure... but either way, it's adorable, and I can ALWAYS use sticky notes!

These pins are beautiful. Mary Poppins is one of my faves and Alice is my ultimate favorite.

Sara, you outdid yourself! I love it all and the pins are superb! And by the way, probably the cutest packaging EVER!

Guys, thank you again for being the best online family ever. I love the pins, but I'm still here because of you guys.
I <3 you all!
Love Always,
Savannah

Also, Kristina, (ksnuggles) thank you for organizing all the RAKs... you're awesome.
I wanted to edit my OP to say that, but my phone isn't acting the way I want.
But thank you for all you do!

That's amazing! I just joined in January and didn't know this was a thing. Congratulations and terrific job by all who helped with it.
 
First of all, you are NOT a jerk or a bad friend! You are human. In the same position, I know I'd be battling sadness and jealousy, too. :Big hugs:

Secondly, I'm so glad your RAK attack came when you needed it most! The longer I'm in this hobby, the more I believe in "pin karma." :)

Thirdly - LOL, that ornament was simply labelled "Snow Queen" in the store, so.... Not necessarily Elsa, but I figured a Frozen lover might like her. The Alice notepad is from a little Japanese store, and although it doesn't say Alice anywhere, it certainly reminds me of Wonderland!

Wishing you a wonderful day, and lots of luck in the future.
