semperfionaI'm not sure I can remember all the presents, there were so many. But the big one (it was in a box taller than Rosa) was a Museum Replicas basket hilt rapier and scabbard. Shiny!
Let's see. A stack of books, including America's Constitution, a Biography, The Bill of Rights (same author),![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
grrm's The Ice Dragon, matociquala's Carnival, papersky's Farthing... Two albums of music from the Civil War, one the soundtrack CD to the Ken Burns PBS series, and one of various well-known artists. Lots of cute clothes, including an orange t-shirt and stripy fleecy orange/pink/red pajama pants that I put on immediately and wore all day. Swizzle sticks to replace my glass butterfly coffee stirrer that met its sad demise a week or so ago. Virtual Pool 3. A lifetime membership to LibraryThing, as well as a CueCat for ISBN barcode-reading. This last has been getting much use already: we've scanned one bookcase (257 books). There are thirteen more bookcases in the house (and they're all double-stacked). And I must say, a laptop computer is a lifesaver for this task. Move the computer to the books, rather than vice-versa!
A pair of earrings, a fuzzy poster, and a color-by-numbers, all from Rosa. She has a habit of buying fuzzy posters for people: she likes them, and she likes to color on them with you.
A burgundy-colored pashmina from my sister. A Browncoat Brigate lanyard frombeckyzoole & bbwoof (mine says "Yes Sir, Captain Tightpants"). A share in a basket of gourmet coffee and candy from ona_tangent and scottak. A pair of earrings from reannon.

Rosa got a mountain of presents too. She got the Biggest Littlest Pet Shop, a Crayola Cutter, clothes (again some things she put on right away and wore all day). Three CD's I burned for her (and made cover art for), although sadly not including the Girl Power! CD. I haven't finished that one yet. (Haven't had time to listen all the way through the selected music and finalize the selections and sequence.) A couple of computer games (Bejeweled and Chuzzle). Barbie clothes. A stained glass jewelry box shaped like a heart (designed and made by Tammie and me, natch). She would've had a little necklace to put in it but it seems to have gone missing between the purchase and the present wrapping.
