With that said, I have many thanks, and have cried many happy tears over this birthday surprise. Until last night, the WWW set was housed in my stamp room, but really (sure, sure) belonged to my Stamp Mother, Nat (Flatbdgrl). And with our pending plans to move to Wyoming, I teased her that the MAN may 'accidentally' get packed! Lol! Well, I suppose that got Nattie thinking! (Actually, I was thinking I had to stamp 42,000 images of this man in the next two years!)
Last night, Nat came by with a birthday package that did leave me breathless, speechless and full of happy tears! She had a Roy Rogers gift bag (how perfect is that now?) full of cards, cards, cards....and THE MAN! Cindy, now I understand why you drove in circles in the parking lot on your way home last October! Bwahahaha! And Mudder, you are on that Stinker List too! Nat purchased this set back in January, and corralled some very sweet lil secret keepers from SCS and friends at work. Many, many thanks to Natalie (Flatbdgrl), Shirt (wannabcre8tive), Cindy (Mothermark), Judy Kell, Jamie (JamiePTS), Tosh (Stamps4funinCa), Jenny (Creative Cards), Evelyn (ValentineBD), Julie (Jujubugwon)and Virg (Virg001). Huge thanks also to my friends at work, who can really keep a secret, Ana (Wheezie), Virg (not Virg001), and Laura (Loo-Lah).
Whew! I so need a word bigger than 'overwhelming' to describe my gratitude. I have never been more surprised in my life! Bless your hearts. I think this year, everyone will be getting WWW Christmas cards! Woot! Wish I could hug each one of you IRL. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Nattie, you are the best, and I thank you so much for getting this going. I feel so blessed to have your friendship. LYMI
Psst....Cindy, we own THE MAN!!!!!!
EDIT: See dat Monkey card? Yeah, that is from Tosh. How did she know that is how I would look to open this? Hmmmm....

Pat, as you know, I know totally how you felt and its simply over whelming isn't it! I so wish I would have finished up your real birthday thingy I am making you but such is life! As you say, I am such a slacker!
I am thrilled for you and so thankful to Nat that she allowed me to be a part of this! I love that you got the Man. But I gotta tell you one thing, my Man is better than Your Man! Nanner, Nanner Boo Boo! Snort!
Oh and JuJuBug did not win! I did! Happy Birthday my friend....You still have something coming from me.....I promise I will get my rear in gear!

OMGoodness, Pat, what a fabulous surprise! Happy birthday. And what's this about moving? Oh no but oh yeah you'll be so close to your son and Jaime. As I told Jaime, I sure hope you guys love cold weather and snow! Oh boy, Pat, you're sure to see tons and tons of cowboys in the flesh and not just in cards!
