Christmas Haul

I know I'm way late with this, but I didn't get all of the pictures taken until yesterday. One of the items in question took a while to arrive (that will make sense in a minute) and then I wanted to use the new camera instead of the old one, and blah, blah, blah. So three weeks late, here's what I got for Christmas.

Do you remember when I wrote about my wish list? Here's the picture to jog your memory:

Because I have an awesome family who reads my blog, I ended up getting FOUR of those six items. The hanging terrariums (which are obviously not airborne yet, though still living):

The yellow pillow set for the couch in the family room:

The robot wall art for my office:

And the made-to-order resin Beethoven bust. I like the juxtaposition of the bright blue against his notoriously troubled personality. He was the slow poke holding up the photo shoot:

So what did you get for the holidays (if you can remember back that far, ha)? Did anybody else get something they blogged about? My family members said the post was a good system, so I'm definitely doing it again. How do you let people know what you want?

P.S. Somebody finally scored a ceramic animal head! He has been parading it around the house, seeing where it will be most awesome:
