Default Few people leave me speechless....but Gracie Ruth and Teresa have managed it!

Twinkle received her package at about half nine this morning.....we're were sooo excited to see that it had come all the way from Texas!! As we delved inside I was left totally speechless (which does NOT happen very often!).......I was totally overcome with emotion at the thoughtful, creative, wonderful gifts that Twinkle, myself, and my children received.

Gracie Ruth and Teresa, there simply aren't words to describe how you made us feel today.....I'm astounded by your generosity and creative talents. We LOVED everything!!!!

Here's a list of what we received, and some pictures.....for anyone who hasnt seen anything Teresa has made before - prepare to be amazed!
(Could someone please show me how to post a link to this thread in the GE thread with everyone elses - I dont want anyone to miss it! thankyou)

For Twinkle:
Handmade, personalised blanket (Twinkle LOVES this, and Wicket is trying to muscle in on it too!)
Cute bathrobe with matching wash cloths
Pink, white and green dress
Two little squeaky balls (an instant hit!)
Rubber duckie
Plush squeaky shoe toy
Bacon and cheese Buddy Biscuits
Chicken flavour Little Bits from The Canine Cookie Company (These are Twinkle's new favourites!)
Pink collar with GORGEOUS diamante half of 'Best friends' heart-shaped charm - Gracie Ruth has the other half!

For me and the children:
'Best friends' photo frame with a pic of the beautiful Gracie Ruth, wearing her half of the charm, and space so I can put Twinkle's pic next to her (LOVE this!)
Texas fridge magnet
The cutest little charm bracelets for the children, in red, white and blue with little charms (stetson, state of texas, horse - these are SERIOUSLY adorable and one of them might find its way into my jewellery collection!)
LOADS of handmade cards with pics of Twinkle and the children (these have to be seen to be believed - stunning!)
A handmade photo album (my favourite!) which is just beautiful! When my husband saw it he said - 'Oh, that is so you!' I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!

THANKYOU GRACIE RUTH AND TERESA!!!!!!!!



1. Twinkle on her new blankie
2. Wicket hopes Twinkle doesn't catch him laying on it! (doesn't he look guilty?!)
3. Twinkle looking pretty in pink (and green and white)
4. Bathrobe and toys

If you have Vista...

Go up right now (you're where you should be if you're reading this post)and look at the line at the top that starts with http. Highlight the whole line at the top, right click and choose copy.

Then start a new thread in the spot where everyone is putting their links. Write anything you may want to say including a thread name, place your cursor underneath what you've written in the body of the post and right click again. This time highlight paste and click.

Then do your submit post as usual and you should be all set!

Yea! Yea! You got your package! I have to tell you that has been the hardest 6 days of waiting I've had in a long time!! LOL I'm so glad Twinkle, you and your girls love everything. I wanted to get it out sooner to you but I kept getting ideas of things to make and that just kept bumping it back. I had soooo much fun doing this for you. And as you can see on the picture notes that Gracie Ruth enclosed, she did too! Especially the part where she was in her car seat b.JPG and we were going shopping and the 'helping' with making the blanket. c.JPG

Those funny little squeaky toys are G's most very favorite!! She will just walk through the house with one in her mouth just squeaking away.

I'm thrilled beyond words that you love the photo album and cards. It can be a little challenging doing those when you don't really know the receivers personality. I'm tickled pink that you say I nailed it!! I love how cooperative G was for me taking her picture at the computer 'helping' me to make those. a.JPG

Oh, this has made my day, that you got the package and you like everything. sigh...now off to do my chores.

Those squeakers have been a HUGE hit - like Gracie, Twinkle is just wandering around with one in her mouth. She spent ages trying to fit them both in so that Wicket didn't get one - but realised she couldn't and quickly hid one in her bed!

Ha ha! I loved those little pics of her that you sent - she looks soooo helpful! You certainly did nail it! Everyone I've shown so far has commented on how 'me' they are I just LOVE them!

Oh, this has made my day, that you got the package and you like everything. sigh...now off to do my chores.

You made mine! (And Twinks!) Chores done here - thankfully! It's 3.15pm so nearly time to feed and bath children, both fur and skin

Enjoy the rest of your day huni xxx xxxx xxx
