I’m taking a break from my regularly scheduled programming (if I even really have such a thing?) to write about the very special box that came in the mail from one of my very dearest of friends, Mommy D. (You might know her as Dinell, the mastermind behind Mommy D’s Kitchen and/or the Weekly Spectre. They’re both her babies.)
She had given me the heads up she’d sent me a birthday box. She had also said, “Open it before you leave on your trip.”
Okay! I’m good at following orders like that!
Here are the amazing gifts inside that box full of love.
Mommy D, if you read this, THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN FOR SPOILING ME ABSOLUTELY ROTTEN FOR MY BIRTHDAY WITH ALL OF THESE MOST AMAZING HAUNT JAUNTS DESIGN GIFTS!!!!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!
A PLUG FOR MOMMY D
She’ll probably be appalled that I’m doing this, but if you like these designs and would like her to design some for you, see the info on the card below for how to get in touch with her. She needs to be in business doing graphic design!
(I think she wants to, or I’d never just randomly plug her and put her on the spot like this. However, I’m not sure she realizes just how talented she is. Example, I had no idea she was going to do the design on the above gifts she sent me, but I LOVE them! It’s like she got in my head, heart and soul and brought forth the spirit of my blog with a design. To me, that’s talent! She’s like a graphic design-whisperer!!! I want to buy these from her and make them my new Haunt Jaunts logo!!!)
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.

Wow! Mommy D’s kindness puts us all to shame. What amazing gifts! I can only aspire to some day be as good as she is. Happy Birthday Courtney. I’m glad you’re already getting awesome presents. I will definately call Mommy D if I ever need any work like this!
Oh my goodness! I did not expect that!
Thank you so much for the amazing post! I love that they mean so much to you! And you’re right. I do want to do custom graphics, I just haven’t had the time to set up the page yet. Thanks for the plug!
I don’t know what else to say..I’m flabbergasted by all this attention! LOL
Love Ya like a sister!
Cats always love the tissue paper–they are such freaks! That has to be the best bunch of gifts ever in all the universe. I think personalized stuff is always the best! You are so deserving, sweetie!
That was so awesome of her! You totally deserve it. My cat always preferred the box. Even if he couldn’t fit in it.
YAY! Thanks for all the nice comments, ladies. You all spoil me, but now I guess Mommy D’s made it official. She’s the Queen Spoiler!
And Autumnforest and Andrea: I was shocked they went for the tissue. (Later Tabby was laying on it too.) Normally they’re all about the box. Or shredding the tissue. But making a nest of it? That was a first, those crazy felines!
