Last night my mysterious Ghost of Christmas Past (🚫🎅🏻) was revealed to be... @bububalloon ! 👻🎄🥰 Thank you for being so sweet and for this absolutely lovely surprise!

Faux fox succulent & adorable fox art! 🦊 This is already in my home office to replace the real one that I killed 😂 The beautiful message in the card made me 😭 for real!

I love the beautiful new edition of my favorite book! 😍 Utz Pub Mix is my snack kryptonite, how did you know?? And the cocktail-inspired gummies are SO GOOD 😋 (You know that bag was fuller when it first arrived 😅)

But the very best part was your gorgeous artwork! I’ve missed seeing it (and you) here on Tumblr, but now I have this stunning original to call my own ❤️

The pictures don’t do them justice at all! (I’ll try to take better ones soon, since this deserves its own post.) At first I thought they were both E/C but then I recognized the quote from my phic “Moment of Madness” and, upon closer inspection, realized the grayscale scene is actually Erik/Mannequin! AAAAH! 🥺😭 I love the mix of ALW/Leroux for Erik and I can’t get over all the intricate little details on the Aminta gown.

I’m so grateful to call you my phriend, @bububalloon ! I hope 2021 is kind to you & brings good things your way - you deserve it! 😘

xoxo

Hello dear @bububalloon! 

This is me, your Santa, and here is your gift of PotO Secret Santa. So, I know you love RaoulxChristine and I tried to depict a cute moment between them, after the Leroux novel is set, in Sweden. Christine is wearing her red scarf, other garments are colored using your favorite colors (especially Christine’s coat). I tried to use your given description to draw Christine and Raoul, and here they are, enjoying a sweet but chilly winter stroll. 

I do hope you like your gift just as much as I liked to create it, and I wish you the happiest of Christmas and holiday season. :) 

Love, 

wolfgangamaderik, aka Juti from Hungary.

Artist’s note: So the pic is r/c Nutcracker Ballet, because Christine’s got a wonderful imagination and Raoul’s a pretty soldier even though the Nutcracker’s ugly it works because it’s actually a prince in there :D

Hi, it's bububalloon, do you remember the Christmas card you sent me? I was extremely happy to receive it, I wanted to frame it! But I let it sit in my inbox, and months passed and I thought, no way can I post this now. Tbh I get stupidly embarrassed about taking compliments/thank yous in public, even online, and the whole letter was a perfect poem of gratitude T-T. I'm sorry I didn't message you sooner, I should have. But I really appreciate/d the card, I'm just SORRY I haven't thanked you.

Sorry for only responding now!

Of course I remember. Please don’t worry at all! If it made you happy to receive it, all intention of sending it has been fulfilled. I just wanted to thank people for their constant support through 2018. There hadn’t been any commitments for the receivers. But don’t get me wrong: I really appreciate your message now and your courage to reach out to me. It means a lot. So thank you for that :) .
