Dear Hostboard Friends,
I just received a package at church today! It was BEAUTIFULLY wrapped with a card from my Hostboard Friends via mayergirl! I am so happy!! I am trying not to cry! You ladies are so wonderful! [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img] It is overwhelming how kind you are! I haven't posted in a long time, yet you took the time to think of me during Christmas. My family and I are so excited! They all gathered around to help me unwrap your gifts. I LOVE them all!! How did you know that I like Felicity so much? I never posted this, but Emma won Elizabeth and Felicity at B Dalton's bookstore during the contest this fall. She had Elizabeth as her number one Christmas wish, but already had Felicity. She gave me the one she won, so we could be "Best friends and play together." [img]biggrin.gif[/img] Now I have her accessories too! I love the new accessories and books and stickers and postcards. I sew enough to know how much time it took to make that GORGEOUS dress! I LOVE the fabric! Emma and I are going to have so much fun playing with the Ski Trip Outfit and Club Shoes, TOO CUTE!! Where did you find the adorable hat and mittens? I have never seen those before and we have been collecting for a long time!! All the neat little items from AG Place New York are SO COOL! I have never been to New York, so it is so FUN to have things from the store there! (We are getting a kick out of the little bags. Our dolls are going shopping!!) The Bath And Body Works gift certificate and callendar are GREAT! I can't wait to go pick something out!! If I left something out, I want to express my sincere thanks. There are so MANY wonderful things in those packages!!

O.K. Now I AM crying!! [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img] I think I am dripping on the keyboard. LOL!! I saw on CNN how some people feel like everyone has forgotten about the victims of the Tsumami and Katrina. I am not a victim, just someone who saw some of the sadness that resulted and wanted to help. You are the same. All your donations were much needed and well placed to help people involved in the disaster. Please know that your beautiful expressions of kindness show that people do care and remember!! People like you make a difference in the world! [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]

Thank you for making this a Christmas to remember!!

With Much Love,
