my favorite Christmas gift came from Santa. when dh and i got home from seeing the 3 dd and dgkds there was a package wrapped in news paper, we had agreed not to exchange gifts. Inside the wrapping was a cardboard from a bolt of fabric.On the bolt this was written "Dearest Nancy, Santa is giving this to you because your husband wrote to me about how you had some money for sewing material and that his truck kept breaking down and costing so much to repair , you were afraid you didnt have enough money to buy material. I asked Mrs Clause what kind of material to buy and she said it depends on what you are going to sew & make, So i decided to let you buy your own.
Merry Xmas Saint Nick. He left me $500!!!!!

Cool!!!!
That's a lot of fabric, especially if you find a great sale!!!!

OMG, you must have been a veeeeeeeeeeery good girl this year (rofl). What a wonderful, delightful surprise.

Awww what a GREAT gift :D:D:D

WOW! You are going to have a great time picking out fabric, I'm doing a happy dance for you.

Now how special is that :lol: Happy Shopping and since it is past Christmas you will be able to get twice as much :mrgreen:

WOW, Santa sure was good to you. What a wonderful gift! :thumbup:

That is the kindest thing ever. You are one lucky lady.

They can be surprising from time to time. I am glad it was your time, enjoy every moment. Just think how long you can fondle fabric at the LQS with that kind of roll!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas. Maybe Santa would like milk and cookies?

That was sure sweet of him, and it sounds like you were pretty deserving of it. I didn't get $500, but I did get the go ahead today to spend another $100 on fabric, and that was after he got mre some grerat stuff for Christmas. He's a keeper! Had him around for almsot 57 years.
