Donating YT 500 Club Member | Girlfriend, as soon as I started "researching" you through your old posts, I knew you would be a "forever" friend. I like your optimism and outlook on life. Plus, I really enjoyed reading your responses to people with your compassionate words. Very early I read about your loss of your precious Stuart and although I was afraid it would make you a bit sad, I knew I could not omit him from your gift because he is still very much a part of you. I think you knew early on that I was your SB because I didn't do very good at the hints. I hoped that having Robin mail some of the cards from another state helped mix it up a bit. Imagine my surprise when I read about the cookies she baked and sent you! LOL...I really don't bake...those were from her! Plus, the tv show I thought about was "Murder She Wrote" with the character Jessica Fletcher. (I had no idea there had been a show named Fletcher!) Told you my brain was wired weird. You did get the clue that the name Fletcher reminded Taffy of Fetch. However, and I hope you're in a laughing mood because those placemats you think I sent? They were the part I stuffed the box with so that stuff wouldn't shift around. Hmmm...Christina...hmmm...those are reusable (NEW) pee pads...LOL That's what I was hoping wouldn't offend you! I'm so glad you liked the stuff. I can't tell you how much fun I had getting it together for you. It really got fun when I mailed a bunch of stuff to Robin in KY for her to help me disguise my botched clues! (Thanks, Robin!) Plus, Admin helped, too. They were very sweet to pass along things I needed you to know. I hope you enjoy it all. I couldn't stand the thought of both boys not getting stuff so that's why they both got their own bags! You made it easy, you know, since they don't do clothes and bows because I would have had trouble picking those out. I have loved your photo of both boys looking up ever since you posted it some time ago. When I made the connection that those were your two Yorkies, I felt like I had struck gold. I absolutely loved having that printed on stuff because I love the photo so much! Enjoy your weekend and think of us when you sip a relaxing cup of coffee...LOL. I learned alot while doing this because I had never ever heard of these kind of coffees! |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Awwwww... I wrote the reply before I saw the Smilebox. It was adorable! I have absolutely fallen in love with that program. You did a great job using it and I haven't seen that template before either. I'm still in the process of learning my way around the Smilebox site. I'm so glad you liked the stuff. It was a joyful experience fixing it for you. |

| PEE PADS!!!! Deb I am laughing sooo hard! Ok, so I had an idea that you might have used pee pads to 'pad' your box, but I have never seen a reusable one in my life!!!! HAHAHA WELL I love them and they are PERFECT 'placemats' for under the boys water and food bowls! At least now I know I can wash and reuse them! That is just too funny! I hope you enjoy the slide show of us opening your gifts, it was quite the busy few hours here at my house and we all had sooo much fun!! My boyfriend took the pics while I worked to open gifts for my nosey boys! They are now EXHAUSTED and ready to crash! I opened the blankets and put them on the couch for them! Since we are just getting to eat dinner now though, they want nothing but to stare up at me with those big sleepy brown eyes and ask for food in their own way! They are such good boys and usually they go right to the kitchen when we eat, but Im not enforcing tonight! Thank you again and again, and you'll get more thanks again and again. I am so glad you love that pic of my boys! I do too, actually a very good friend of mine who is taking photography classes came over to shoot pics of my boys, but they were not in the mood to cooperate, so I had a treat and that is the pic she snapped and I fell in love with it. They look like beautiful angels in that pic! (I did submit it for the yorkie calendar this year!) Deb, you did trick me and I was never 100% SURE it was YOU. I had to keep eliminating others from my 'list' and then I finally gave up keeping track and let it be, it was more fun to get your hints cards and those sweet graduation cards for me and postcards of of the boys and the ones of Fletch! I am not sure who Robin is, but THANK YOU also!! THANK you for the cookies!!!! Fletcher LOVED them!!! You have VERY little personal info about yourself out there, like your real name or your home state is NOWHERE! So that threw me! I couldn't tell for sure! Your GREAT gift concluded my GREAT day (see my post from earlier today). With that, I have to go lay on the couch with my boys and relax now! I will be back tomorrow I hope! Have a GREAT GREAT weekend!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | LOL...I may not can write clues but... After I visited your page for the first time and saw that it recorded me as a visitor there, I had to go visit everyone's page to disguise my tracks. Then...just before you got the first teaser card, I realized that you could match it easily by looking at where I was from. I even had the town listed! So...probably on the very same day you got that first card...I changed it from TN to USA...LOL... Then I had to go back and mess with the zip code since I knew you'd look at the postmark...LOL I really had it well-planned at first...LOL Then I gave it away with the clues. Oh boy, I really do need remedial hint writing! Anyway, Robin helped me tremendously by mailing all those last cards (and her cookies) out for me. LOL...then I misinterpreted when you graduate from college and got the whole internet congratulating you on your graduation. Boy...talk about a comedy of errors around that time. I'm sooooo glad you have a good sense of humor! One of the funniest things has been trying to straighten my husband out on who Taffy's buddy was. When he heard NH, he started in again with "I thought she lived in KY" I practically had his head spinning trying to explain it all. And the pee pads? You shouldn't doubt I consider you a friend because only a friend would tell you what your placemats really are...LOL One thing about it...they are waterproof IF you put the plaid side up. Otherwise the water will roll off them. I have to ask though because there were two things I couldn't recall repacking when I changed out the box...one was Fletcher's Patriots bandanna which I saw did make it (I think you thread them on a collar) but did you get a ball cap with the same logo as your t-shirt? If you didn't (and Linda, you're going to love this...LOL), it means that it's somewhere in my messy house and I haven't seen it since I packed up the box. However, I really do not remember packing it at all! If you didn't get it, I'll start seriously looking because it must still be here!) LOL.....by the way...I can't "make" anything so my attempt at making you something were the recipe cards. I picked some of my favorite and easiest ones. Let me know about the ball cap because I sure don't want to mess up the mess if I did send it...LOL |

| Oh yes, Fletcher Dexter and Mommy all got spoiled rotten! Dexter has decided his new favorite toy is this little squeaky stuffed bone, its a small bone but has 2 sqeakers (I think he's in one of the pics with it)! It is definately HIS toy now for sure! He walks around with it whining and trying to bury it in the couch, his bed, my bed LOL Deb, I didn't see a ball cap in the box but maybe I missed something??? We were pretty thorough in making sure I listed everything so I don't think there is a baseball hat. You are too funny! The peepad/placemat is still making me laugh, every time I walk into the kitchen! haha I had no idea it was a peepad! Its just too cute! I put it plaid side up under their water and food bowls. You have no idea how well this will work out, they like to dig in their water bowl sometimes and I come home to water EVERYWHERE! (ok Im reaching here so you'll all stop laughing at me! LOL)
