I received this BEAUTIFUL card from Kathy (Wattle) along with lots of "pearls". We are "pearl addicts" and I was having trouble getting different shades of pearls, especially my favorite "chocolate pearls" and she said she could get them easily. So, she sent me this array of pearls. I wanted to take a bath in them!!! LOL!!!! I am such an admirer of Kathy's work and have been jokingly named the President of her Fan Club! LOL!
Kathy sent me this card as it was the 1-year anniversary of my father's death last year and, do you know, it arrived on the exact anniversary date of his death! And that was from Australia to the US. What are the chances of that??? It must have been divine intervention. Anyway, it meant a lot to me!! Thanks Kathy!
I never imagined when I started SCS's site that I would have gotten to know so many FANTASTIC women and very TALENTED women at that! It has really been a blessing to me!!

Pam, you are so, so welcome my friend. I know that this time has been very difficult for you and it was the least I could do. And of course......you can never have too many pearls!!
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
