Oh look, I've been reduced to writing about MAIL.

But!

I would like to say that SOME of you (meaning art_geek, sarrabellum and orionnebula) are far too talented for your own good and made beautiful artsy cards. I would also like to say that ALL of you sent far classier cards than I did. I am shamed. :)

Canada Post is clearly working overtime this year. Not only was there the Incident of the Card That Made It to England in Just Two Days, today I got a card from someone who called me yesterday because she couldn't find my address. That's one day, probably not even 24 hours, and some of those hours were on a Sunday. The postal service is clearly mocking me for getting my shit together so early this year.

Completely unrelated to mail (...mostly), today's BPAL scent is Shanghai:

The crisp, clean scent of green tea touched with lemon verbena and honeysuckle.

It's very lemony. I was hoping for more of the green tea to come through, but no. I like it, but it's heading a bit into bathroom cleaner territory. It's nicer, and more consistent, than most of the other lemon scents I've tried, though.

Ah ha! And I got my card today from you, hoorah!!! It appears that Canada Post is also quite funny, if it got to England before it got here... though perhaps you sent them in stages?

Anyway, yay!

I did send the international ones first, it's true, but yours was definitely being a laggert. It obviously took time for coffee in the Annex. ;)

Yay!

I got your card, too, and I love it. I think it's classy and lovely.

My god, I love your icon! Hee.

It's an icon from sdsusie5 that art_geek Christmasfied for me! I love it too...it helps that I've had a crush on Jimmy Stewart for about a decade. :)

Me too, about a week ago, although I didn't say it. Thank you! It was our first one of the year.

I think mine have been everyone's first cards of the year. I was a little too worried about getting them there on time. :)

I got yours yesterday, with Art_geeks - you're right, her card was amazingly beautiful ... shockingly so. I thought, who produces cards with awesome caricatures of people? But I guess she made it herself... wow...

wow...

I was pleased to get your card too, but kinda sad, because I didn't mail yours - I kept it here to hand to you in person!

I really liked Old Shanghai - have a 5ml of it - but I'm not sure if what you have is a new formula.
