My girlfriend loves fairytales. To propose, I built her this fairytale storybook with puzzles to solve and a secret at the end

It's a fairy tale story with two main characters, Superman Santa (me) and Ms. Gingerbread (her). To advance to the next chapter, my girlfriend (fiancee!) had to solve a puzzle that was unique to us. When she got to the last chapter, the last puzzle opened up to show her the ring that I made for her. I was down on one knee and asked the question. Unbelievably (to me), she was shocked when she saw the ring.
For background, I knew that she loved making storybooks for her family when she was a little girl so I decided to create a fairytale story based on our relationship. On the front cover you see etchings of her and I walking away into the distance.
I borrowed heavily from others work, both directly and indirectly. Friends like Shanay Moghbel, Pete Nguyen, Pete Shannon, Mana Aynechi, and JoAnne Tobias were very helpful. Others, unbeknownst to them, such as CodexSilenda for the exterior design, NTT's site on Instructables for the mechanical iris and probably several more that I'm not thinking of now.Thank you!
