Holiday Haul 2022

Happiest of holidays to all our wonderful readers!  We hope that 2022 is wrapping up on a high for you and your loved ones.

Speaking of wrapping, that makes me think of unwrapping gifts!  We here at Chaos and Confetti ended up with more goodies than we can shake a stick at.  Below is a peek into the many wonderful treasures that we’ll be adding to our collections.  Omitted from the list below are items that don’t fit into the hobby categories our blog normally covers.  Sorry, you won’t get to hear about the foods (they’ll be gone soon anyways), household items (Confetti and her lightbulbs), clothes (oh boy, Chaos has new socks!), and other miscellaneous stuff (towels and soap!)  

We hope you ended up with a few items from your wishlists too, and we’d love to hear about your favorite recent gifts.

Let’s get started!
