Oh my goodness!!! This huge box arrived the day before my birthday and I swear you could have knocked me down with a feather! That day, I had one of the worst headaches I ever had in my whole life, so I wasn't anticipating being able to enjoy my BD very much at all...Until momapoo brought in this whopper of a gift from Dawn (Flowergal36# and her friend Jacque. I can tell you I was smiling from ear to ear, despite the pain. I still can't even believe how many awesome goodies they sent to me! I am so in love with Tilda #Dawn is actually the one who got me really hooked on Magnolia stamps!# and I can't even describe how awesome these cards are! INCREDIBLE is the only word for them! And they are going to some very special, very sick children. PLUS there were goodiess for me! Papers and images which I will surely put to good use! Ribbons and even flesh-toned copics! WOW! I can tell these are going to take some practice, but I am so excited!!! #Can you tell?#
Also, not in the photo, Dawn made me one of her signature fabric TP pumpkins! It is sitting on the coffee table right in front of my chair, which is where I spend most of my time #especially while I've been feeling so rotten#. I can see it all day long and celebrate that it is finally Fall! Yippee!
Dawn and Jacque - I really, really love everything you generously sent me. You already know how much I love Fall and how much I love all of the little kids I mail to...How thoughtful and generous you both are! I thank you both sincerely from the bottom of my heart!
What could I ever say or do to tell you both how special you have made my birthday? I don't usually look forward to my birthday as something really special, but that day, your incredible and unexpected gift was truly touching and memorable. I know I'll never forget it!
THANK YOU!!! #And sorry it took me so long to post this!)

Sis, I don't think you will ever find a heart as kind and loving as Dawn's. I love to see how she loves you thru her talent and reaches out to your kids as well. As badly as her hands hurt her, she still reaches out to others. What a beautiful thing to see. Much love to you, and Dawn and Jacque! XXXOOO
