Donating YT 500 Club Member | Woo Hoo...Taffy thanks Rocky! Oh my goodness! I can't believe we were this surprised but we were...Taffy's SB was Rocky and FlDebra and boy, oh boy, did we ever get showered with stuff! Our box was itself a masterpiece and Debra even included some math terminology which pleased this retired math teacher no end! On one side she had T cubed for TOY, Taffy, and TN...isn't that wonderful? We loved our package before we ever slit the tape! One side had the logo of our beloved TN Vols but Miss Debra added a twist... What do you suppose we discovered when we opened the box? Yep, a FL Gator just staring up at us as if already sure they will beat us again. (And the sad thing is they could since they seem to every year <sigh>) Debra said she just couldn't resist and we guess she couldn't...after all, she packed our box with wonderful TN Vols stuff! (She was probably on overload from our beloved orange and white.) I've already admitted this to her but it still stings a little because of the two of us, I'm usually the more observant one. However, it was my husband who first realized that everything in our box was wrapped in orange or white tissue. How cool! (In my defense, I was trying to keep Taffy from getting her year's worth of fiber.) We got some of the "bestest" stuff and the weird part? This is the second time we've gotten Vols stuff in a GE and we've never gotten anything we already had! If you just knew the amount of stuff we've accumulated, you'd know just how surprising that is! We are just loving everything! Plus, none of Taffy's toys were any that she already had! I just find that amazing. Debra, please forgive if I omit something. Miss Taffy played the grab and run and I tried to regroup for photos and listing but am not sure I was successful. Our beautifully decorated box contained: *a cupcake shirt...so precious *a cupcake toy...so yummy looking...mmmm, cupcake! *a pink and white bow *a UT dress...Go Vols!...just fantastic! *an orange and white bow with a pawprint...so sweet *a pink bandanna with dainty brown hearts...just love the color combo *a multi-colored bandanna with "cutie" ...feeds the Diva in her *shampoo and creme rinse (been wanting to try these in particular!) *Booda bone *chicken treats in the cutest dog decorated can *a Diva fashion bone toy *a bright pink bone toy *a hand-crocheted fluff ball (her favorite...I think she senses the love) *a pink pig with a pink tennis ball body *a cool long loofa dog with all kinds of differing textures *a cute soft ring chewy hippo toy (several textures) *a stuffingless critter (perfect size for her) And for Mommy: *the most gorgeous UT pet carrier you have ever seen...I didn't even know they made such a thing! Even my husband says he won't mind carrying it! *a UT checkbook billfold (never seen one of these either!) *a beautiful Yorkie charm *address labels with Taffy's own picture *a tin of mints and a magnet from the Naval Base *a Yorkie bookmark *a couple of sweet cards but one of them is a sound card with clapping and dogs barking (wish you guys could have seen Taffy's head cocking from side to side when I opened it...LOL...so priceless!) It was an amazing and wonderful gift box, Debra and Rocky! Thank you so much, TOY and Taffy Oh yes, here's the link to our Smilebox but my photos do not do justice to the items. That carrier is awesome! http://smilebox.com/playBlog/4d54457...&blogview=true |

| Taffy, you're soo cute! Debbie, please give your precious baby girl loads of kisses from me. That is so cool how you gals had each other...seems like the perfect match! It's even sweeter when GE buddies are paired up, seems more intimate that way (right Tammie & Emme?). Lol Great job Rocky & Debra!

| You're very welcome & thanks again from us! I couldn't believe it when I got your package yesterday and saw we were your SB as well as you being ours! I think it was great we got each other. I almost spoiled it yesterday when I was writing my thank you to you. I had to quickly fix my post because I realized you had not gotten your package from me yet! Glad it got there today, I would not have made it another day without giving it away! They almost came the same day! What was funny is having all of these great GE cards you made and not being able to send them out. I just knew if I did you would figure it out. I am glad you liked all the UT items and the orange and white theme. I wanted to trim the Gruffle ball with orange yarn but it turned out I did not have quite enough. So, I used a multi-color that had a lot of orange in it. My pups like the crochet balls too so I was hoping Taffy would as well. I am not all that creative but I wanted to include something handmade from me. I have to thank a couple of our forum vendors who do especially nice work -- Alison/kidmuzicdotcom for the UT dress and bow, and Villette/red98vett for the custom labels. You may have read a previous post of mine, that I did forget to send one item. I came back from the post office and could not believe it was still sitting on the table where I wrapped everything. It had actually been in the box once and then I had to rearrange. I will send it along here shortly. It will make a nice surprise in the mail one of these days. I felt so honored to have you as our SB. You are definately a Forum Favorite and such a nice friend! I have replaced my mousepad with the one you sent and will be thinking of you everytime I log on! This was truly a great GE for us! I think the sheer magnitude of your package really sunk in today. I had my 2 yo grandson today and he kept picking up new toys asking, "For me?" and I had to say, "No, those are for Rocky (Ben or Candy, as the case might have been)." I had one new ball for him and I think he was thinking something was wrong with the picture -- the dogs were getting a whole lot more new toys than he was! He is not used to that but he was a good sport. I still cannot believe the framed cross with the scripture.....that just wells me all up everytime I look at it. To have it there next to our picture reminds me to be thankful for every moment we had. Ah oh....there I go again....better end this and just say, Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Debbie!
