A merry creature based on the lovely gin I got in my advent this year.

Had planned to do one of my merry deer things base don each type of drink and mixer I got but ran out of time. This was the prettiest bottle, puffin embossed on it with a wax seal. <3

Hope you and yours have a great Yule time. More Crimbo creatures to come yet!
