Mary, I was just about to write to you about your dilemma ... mine is similar -- want a laundry basket? Good luck finding one that isn't filled with fabric and lace -- when my husband said, "You have a package ..."
Here's what I just posted in the May thread ...
I just received a box ... I can hardly write .... I am ... I don't know what I am ... for once I am speechless!
When I recover, I will write a more sensible note, but for now, everyone who added to my wonderful 60th birthday surprise ... I'M FEELIN' THE LOVE!!! Saying thank you just doesn't say enough. You guys are the BEST.
And now I guess I'm going to have to take very good care of myself so I can sew my way through all of it.
Oh my goodness. Thank you, thank you, thank you ... and I haven't even gone past the cards!!!!
This is the biggest and best surprise I have ever received. OK. I have to stop now before I start blubbering.
As for Brenda, who pulled this all together ... I just told her that I think she has now earned her halo so she can go out and be very bad. I have never experienced such an incredible act of kindness.
OK. Gotta breathe deeply and recover from the shock and awe or I will never sew through it all. I can't believe this. You are all so wonderful. Names and pix to follow. I promise!
*clunk* (that was me passing out on the floor...)
