I got a lovely surprise in the mail a couple of days ago.

Remember back in 2020 some of us here joined in a pay-it-forward meme. I sent things to five LJ friends, (mostly hand knit wool socks, but a few got other things they mentioned they liked). Anyway, I was super excited when I got a package in the mail from one of my LJ friends, reynardo. Thanks so much my friend for the lovely gift.

The adorable Snape on the left is an embroidered iron-on applique. My daughter J, has one of those craft thingeys to make iron on decals for t-shirts, so we're trying to think of Snape quotes or memes to go with him. I told her I don't want “Always”.

The little bundle next to Snapey when unsnapped and opened up becomes a full sized tote bag. Very cool, I can throw it in my purse or luggage and have a handy tote in an instant.

Next is a koala bear book mark and Severus Snape postcard. Also included was a lovely handwritten letter, bringing to my mind my childhood days before we had email and instant messages when my mom would get letters from family far away.

If anyone has any ideas for my t-shirt quote/saying throw 'em out there. Right now I'm considering: “Snape, Snape, Severus Snape”, but I'm definitely open for other suggestions.


Thanks again, Rey, and I hope you enjoy those "world traveler" socks and Michigan Postcard.

Guess which socks are hanging on the drying rack right now :-)

What awesome goodies! Btw, I haven’t forgotten you in regards to the pay it forward thingy…I’ve been sitting on something since last Fall for you. I’m just
really bad about getting to the post office. But I’ll be doing that soon.
Oh, and I think “Obviously” would be a good Snapism…it captures his snarkiness so succinctly, although whether that was just movie or also book, I’m not sure.

No worries, Hon, no pressure. It's all in fun.


This package from Renardo was unexpected because I'm pretty sure I wasn't on a pay-it-forward list for her. Although she had let me know something was on it's way, I was thinking it was a thank-you note. It was certainly a wonderful surprise!

What a delightful surprise!

What a wonderful surprise! I also like toblass's suggestion of “Obviously” for the Snapism. I can't hear anyone speak that word with my mind immediately yelling "SNAPE!" in my head.😁

And it would have to be said “Obbbbbbbbbviously”

My husband and I love Potter Puppet Pals. And what neat goodies! :)

I don't have any further suggestions for the quote, but maybe I can think some more. :)
