I've been wanting to add some personal touches to my desk for a long time. I've been here for over a year and there really wasn't anything of my own at my workstation. Well, that ends today !

My gifter was speedy, so I was excited to see what they had sent. The first box I got was a desk organizer, which is useful and looks nice too. The best part, though, is that it opens up into two picture frames ! I'm really grateful for this, because I've just returned from my maternity leave and I miss my little twins like crazy. Now I can look at their smiling faces to brighten up my day. :)

Imagine my surprise when the next day, I got a second box. It was pretty long, and said "9GreenBox" on it. Inside was a potted plant called a Pachira, or Money Tree (in Asian cultures they're supposed to be associated with good financial luck), which my Santa included because I'm a loan assistant. Very cute little plant, I'll do my best to keep it alive !

Thank you very much for the lovely gifts. You've really made my desk a much nicer place to be.
