I signed up for this exchange kind of last minute and haphazardly. I didn't really NEED more pens and stationary, but, really, who does? However, shortly after the matches went up, I had to put my 19-year-old cat to sleep, and I've had a serious case of the sads. About a week after losing my cat, I received a handwritten note in the mail from an old friend who just wanted to send a kind note to cheer me up. It worked so well that I decided to pay the gesture forward -- and now I needed stationary. AND THEN I GOT THE BOX!! I had completely forgotten about the exchange when the box showed up, filled with amazing pens and so much stationary. Thank you so much SS!! You made my whole day and have made it possible for me to pay the kindness forward.
