Thanks. I admit, I kind of snooped the Christmas exchange thread to find out what colours people liked. 
I painted the boxes myself.
Glad you like it
I got three nice things in the mail today!
Anaamika, thanks for the card and the decoration (it seemed to have tried to claw its way out of the envelope, but wasn’t successful.) thanks!
JKellyMap, thanks for the nice card!
And thank you to the mystery person who sent me a lovely bookmark, whose name or username I didn’t seem to be able to find on the envelope.
Thanks, all! 
I bet that was rocking chair!
Can you see a little drawing that could be a rocking chair? I thought the same as you until I found it.
Oh, okay, that’s probably it.
Thanks, rocking chair!
was there bad handwriting and an apostrophe?
My handwriting is worse than almost anyone’s so I wouldn’t call yours bad. 
Mine just went out in today’s mail; I apologize for the delay. Most of you (other than international folks) should still get them on time for the holiday I hope!
I got home from a 5-day vacation to San Francisco to find:
A lovely card and stickers from Pai325
A valentines bookmark from Grrlbrarian, for which I need to find an appropriate book. Perhaps I’ll christen it with a read of a Jane Austen novel or something.
A sweet illustration of a Rancor from jkellymap Jr.
Starwars Lego Sticker (and hearts) from rocking chair
A gorgeous card with the infamous Rip In Envelope: Enclosure Fallen Out from Anaamika
Thanks all! This is so much fun.
Ohhhhh yeahhh! Got my lovely blue with hearts box from EmilyG yesterday, complete with candy inside! It was such a lovely thing. I thought for about one second, “Wow, how did she know I like blue” and then remembered that you researched via my holiday exchange preferences, Miss Emily. That is truly so sweet & thoughtful of you.
People, you have totally made my holiday! Thanks for everything!!!
I received the most beautiful handmade card from Anaglyph yesterday! Absolutely sensational. I love it. Thank you!
I’m glad at least you got my enclosure! At this point it is becoming semi-infamous, like Eonwe says. Sigh!
i’m totally jealous! i’m figuring the others are having a grand old time at the post office, hanging out in the sorting area.
Glad you liked the box and candies, Grrlbrarian.
And blue is my favourite colour too.
Got a lovely card and bookmark from Grrlbrarian. Many thanks!
Pai325’s sweethearts card and Disney stickers already arrived a week ago, and I put Grrlbrarian’s bookmark to good use in the thriller I am currently reading. JKellymap’s view of the Kansas landscape reminds me of the time I travelled by Greyhound from Washington DC to San Francisco, some 30 years ago. Thanks for the nice cards - hopefully there are some more in my mailbox when I get home from work. Jayray, I am glad to learn that at least one bunch of flowers made it across the big pond in time for Valentine’s day! I hope the rest of them will get to their destination soon.
I’m sitting here, cold and all wrapped up, but the mailman brought a lovely card from jayrey that warmed me up. It’s pink and red, and just sweet.
Thank you!
Thank you to grrlbrarian, jkellymap, pai325, and especially to EmilyG for the PURPLE painted box with my allotment of this year’s SDMB chocolate and candy. (The “mandarino” was a nice change!)
Thank you also to anaamika for the truly lovely card and what the HELL did you try to enclose? Mine chewed its way out to join its brethren as well …
A lovely card arrived today from Eonwe. It has an almost paisley like design, and I love paisley. There is a beautiful hand drawn flower inside, and I really like it!
Thank you!
You’re welcome, purplehorseshoe. I’m glad you liked it.
Got a nice card from jayrey today. Thanks!
I’ve gotten a number of really nice cards, but I’m concerned that none of mine seem to have shown up anywhere. I sent them a bit late (Thursday), but they should have made it to US destinations by now.
