| | | A gift from A Hay!
I received in the mail today a small package from Germany.
It from Tom (A Hay!) 
Tom made a series of these small leather plaques for those fortunate to attend the Ferintosh Burns Night Supper this year.
He very thoughtfully made this one for me as well (shown with my O'Neille made XMTS Saltire kilt pin)
My thanks Tom, it will hang with pride in my Library.
Cheers
Jamie

Nice work Tom. I am currently carving a semi deflated blimp 'Maple Leaf' to accompany this zeppelin to commemorate my ultimate victory over you and your lackluster showing of an illfated attempt to secure the greater arctic Acryla-beast as little robotic minions.

Oh how very nice Jamie - I'm sure Tom's work will find a place of honor in your library!

Such a thoughtful gift.
It was very kind of Tom to create these.

That is a beautiful gift!
It looks like your mission for the Saltire is a continuing success Jamie. I like to think it has brought us all a little closer together. *salute*
