Thank you Miah & Dawn...the best Sb's EVER!
 

Oh goodness...can I just say how blessed we were to have received Miah and Dawn as our buddies? They made this entire Gift Exchange such a special and memorable experience. The clue threads were so much fun. We loved the Blue's Clues and then the hangman. We had an idea that *maybe* we were Miah's SB, but at other times something would completely throw us off! In the end, I totally dismissed the idea! Boy, I was totally surprised when we got a box..with NO NAME on it!! :eek: Then when we unwrapped it and saw what was written, we should've known it was Miah all along. :)

Opening the box was like Christmas Day. Everyone was involved - Rosie, Luma, myself and even my boyfriend. Rosie was kind of confused having never done this before but good ol' Luma has been in 2 GEs and knew what was up. She thought everything was for her and was hogging every shot I took. These pics are actually taken over the course of 3 days. It was hectic because they would take things and run away with them. As a result, there are one or two things I didn't get pics of (the magnet and one of the sweaters), but just know we appreciate them all the same!

We absolutely loved everything, Dawn! The grooming tools were just what I wanted and needed. The nail clippers are HEAVENLY! lol! Loved those so much I threw our old clippers away. :thumbup: The grooming box is perfect for our bigger bows that don't fit in our "bow tackle box". We filled it up with all the girls' accessories. They loved the toys and fight over them all the time. Miss Owl is already severely injured. The sweaters were a bit big on Rosie but fit Luma perfectly. They will be put to good use! The dresses you made were clearly sewn with love and you are so talented! I loved the presents you included for me. The frame with Rosie's pic, and we framed the one of Luma too. That was so sweet and thoughtful! I loved the bath stuff you got me and we had fun carrying Rosie around in that super tiny purse LOL. The magnet is on our fridge. Thank you for the gifts that you picked specially for Rosie, and thank you for making each one of us feel loved and included. You are the best! We love you!!!

Oh my goodness, I forgot to include a gift in the list. It is a book called All About my Dog that has tons of room to write in about Rosie and to put pics in. Perfect because I have a book for Luma already and so now I have one for Rosie! It also has dog treat recipes, training info, and a vet record. I love this kind of stuff and this book is just perfect for me! You really shopped just like you knew us so well. You must have been doing lots of research and it shows :) lol. Thank you again!!!

What a great SB!!!! Love the book idea:) So sweet:)

Wow another great sb And a great smilebox

Oh my goodness Carmen . . what a wonderful and heartwarming Smilebox !!

You had me in tears seeing the girls enjoying their gifts and reading all of the wonderful things you had to say. I was so happy to see that Rosie was our SB, we had tons of fun shopping and sewing for her and for Luma. I am so happy, happy, happy that you like everything. I really did my research because I wanted Rosie's first GE to be a Special one. Some of the bigger clothes were bought or made a size up so that Rosie has room to grow into them. Maybe, maybe not she's so so tiny but that's ok there's nothing wrong with sharing with her sissy. At least they fit Luma and hopefully one day Rosie too. I love the pic of Rosie in the hoodie, she's totally lost under it. :)

I was more than happy to keep the clues going and give you something to ponder and think about. I had a feeling you were catching on to us so I had to keep it interesting to throw you off out trail and It worked ! :D

I'm so glad that you and Rosie were out SB. Thank you for being the special young lady that you are. Rosie and Luma are so very lucky to have you as their mommy! :love:

Wow what a great smile box and what a lot of special gifts, loved so many things, love the pink satin bag for momma and those sister dresses are just so dang cute, you really got several good pictures of them posing perfectly. It was nice to see this because I have not seen a lot of pictures of Rosie, she looks like a little mini me of Luma, just darker but I can see the likeness in their faces, her hair is beautiful. I tell Dawn really had fun shopping for you guys, Rosie was well spoiled. Good job secret buddies:thumbup:

What a great job, Miah and Dawn! I can see how much love went into this box. Love that blanket! And the matching Sister dresses were awesome!

Carmen, that smilebox was great! Had me giggling the whole time. Love the pics of Rosie in the jacket lol. And, yup, yellow looks fantasic in her darker coat. Both of your girls are absolutely gorgeous :)

How wonderful!!!!!

What a wonderful SB you have. I just love the matching dresses. They look so cute together

Love the pics! good job Dawn!

I love all the pics! As a former SB we got to say Luma and Rosie are 2 spoiled little girls!
