Ok, so this wasn't REALLY a BFD gift, but our dear Granny-Wan was absolutely wonderful and...

Ok, let me start a little earlier...

A long time ago...

in a state unfortunately a little too far away...

I corresponded with the darling Granny-Wan. She really wanted a pair of my painted shoes and had a pair she particularly wanted painted. She sent them to me and (too many months later...) I finished them!

In the meantime, JMM (Mina) was talked into completely "geeking out" and Granny-Wan was making her a Jedi costume, seen here in Mina's blog!

The plan is that we're all going to WonderCon in San Francisco in February and they were going to dress up. Feeling a little left out ( ), I mentioned to Mina that even though I've never been into the "costume thing", I didn't want to be left out. Well... turns out she and Granny-Wan had already discussed that a little and Granny was willing to make a costume for ME, too!!

I didn't want a Jedi costume, though. No siree!! I wanted to be Han's Girl , so I wanted a Princess Leia costume if it was possible!

It just so happened that Granny-Wan had a pattern for the New Hope costume (which incidentally is the same as the costume Leia wore at the end of TESB in the infirmary with Luke, so I can wear my hair either way. Woo-hoo! ) so she kindly made it for me!!! Squeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Isn't Granny an amazing talent!!! Love you!

So, would this be the first BFD swap!!??!?? Tee hee!
