it finally came!!!!

see that picture on the wall.....

close-up, it looks like this:

this picture was a christmas present from nathan (he ordered it the end of november) and it arrived today. i promptly made him hang it up.

i know... slow shipping. several times nathan said he was going to call and cancel the order because it was taking so long, but i talked him out of it each time because i really like it and it was such a good deal.
