I got a Happy New Apartment card from msbelle! Thank you! I didn't know they made New Apartment cards.
'Help'
Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2016.
Dear Secret Santee, the package will be mailed soon. I ordered something today that I hope I get this week and then I'll be ready to send. Hang in there. I hope it will be a New Year's gift.
I came home to an unexpected book on roses. Was this my secret Santa? It's lovely, but I didn't see any indication of where/who it's from. Thank you, if it's from you! It's huge, and has tons of info on one of my favorite plants.
Got back in town last night, checked mail this morning, and there's a lovely "Calm Coloring Book" waiting for me from a Buffista elf. Thank you! The calming part is especially appreciated.
Came home today from a week away to find packages from both my Secret Santa and the Buffista Elf! I have deduced that Anne W. was my Santa, and she did a wonderful job: she made a donation to a local-to-me org that provides services to the homeless, plus she sent me delicious-smelling lavender-oat soap! Thank you so much.
And I was so touched to get a package from the Buffista Elf to boot: an iTunes gift card and another sweet-smelling soap!
Thank you both; it lifted my spirits to open your gifts, and to be the recipient of such generosity and thoughtfulness.
I was elfed, today, too! I received a spiffy Iron Man drinking glass. Fortunately, it does not have a repulsor on the bottom, so it won't jump out of my hand unexpectedly. I hope. Depends on how often I refill it, I suppose.
Oh, maybe I got elfed instead of Secret Santa-ed. In any case, I love the lemony soap and iTuens gift card!
And my giftee will be getting a preliminary gift next week. Ahem.
I just got a great package from amych!! A "fuck off" coloring book for 2016, a gorgeous scarf for 2017 (although I'll start wearing it immediately!!), and a really lovely note and donation to PP. Thank you!!
I got lovely cards from Debet and SueO.
Amych is off my list of potentials. And then there were 3.
Buffista elf appeared and gifted me with a Wonder Woman water bottle and some nummy chocolate caramels (which happen to be a favorite!). I had totally forgotten that there might be gifts coming, so that was nice
