This came in the mail this morning by Fed Ex from a board member named Dorothy (dsb13827) .
It brought a big smile to me and lasting memory.
The card just said. "The gift is in the Giving"

Thank you Dorothy for being able to see so deeply into someones feelings. I hope all board members learn how wonderful it is to give when we can. What a wonderful feeling you gave to me. *H*U*G*S*

Amen!

Beautiful. What a wonderful thing to do.

Oh my gosh! How special!

How Beautiful!!!!!!

Oh WOW! Gorgeous. That would surely make my day. Aren't surprise gifts the best.

What a beautiful gift :D:D:D

what a beautiful gift

How wonderful for someone to think of you with a surprise gift.

how nice and so very pretty

Guess what. Debbie isn't home. Wanna know how I know? Because the flowers were only 1/2 of her Christmas present. I thought the packages would have been delivered at the same time but they were not. As it happens, one went FedEx and one went UPS. Oh well. The flowers were delivered. I am so happy she liked them. I didn't know the vase was included in the order. I was happy with that. I don't know where the tulips were grown but they do look pretty. I wanted to give her a big smile because she is so good to everyone on the Quiltingboard. She does so much for others. Let's all hide and see what she says when she gets back home and sees the other package. She is such a special person. Don't tell her I told you all this. Okay?

tulips - my favorite. Don't you just love surprises!

OMG I just got home from picking up the patterns you sent thru Staples and had another package. YOu are so sneaky. Here they are. Lady Godiva Chocolates. Was wondering why you didn't mention them. Thought he put them in my wooden chest on the porch and I missed them in the excitement when the flowers came in. LOL. Thank you again. I hope I can be as sneaky one day. ROFL. YOu made my week and I was so surprised. Loved the feeling it gave me

What a Wondeful thing to do!

I have so much enjoyed sharing this pleasure with you. Thank you for making my holidays joyful.

(She's home!)

I am sitting here eating a chocolate (creamcheese) and staring at my tulips. This definitely goes into my journal with a copy of the email you sent to me. People like you and those on the board, make the world go around and and the sun come up every morning. *H*U*G*S*

What beautiful flowers and great chocolates I'm sure. She must think the same of you "beautiful and great" Happy Holidays Mary

What a lovely surprise and a very thoughtful gesture.

Had to share this again. The tulips are in full bloom and look wonderful. Well, I put them on my dining room table to take a picture and then I realized, I had tulips in my centerpoint of the arrangement I already had on my table. LOL. So a picture shows both her flowers to me and my arrangement. Of course mine aren't real. :) :D
Thank you again for Dorothy. :-) :D :-D :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :evil: :evil: She loves these little fellas. ROFL.
