Dear Santa Warren;
I Must have been a REALLY GOOD GIRL THIS YEAR ! My Christmas Swap Gift Came today !
I Can't believe how My BUDDY DIANNE could have picked out the MOST PERFECT items for me... and the box seemed bottomless... presents kept coming....
Between Oohing and Ahhing over present after present...I read the letter Dianne sent and that is when the tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes ... Because somehow Dianne found the PERFECT gifts for me.
(quick note... laughing about Dianne's "stationary" since that's the same "stationary" I used when writing Thea ! LOL)
Of course I LOVE everything so much...however the piece de resistance for me... is this... a donation in My Mom's name to the Princess Margret Hospital in Toronto, where a dove with her name on it hangs on the wall of the foyer with hundreds of others.... (tears welling up)... Mom is smiling at us all and My heart is full.
As if that weren't enough.... Dianne also made a donation in memory of Mom to the Princess Margaret Lodge run by the Cancer Society. The Cute little Beaver also was purchased to benefit a local Teen Help Group....
My cup runneth over... and ALL This even before.... (Taking a deep breath).... GORGEOUS Hand made and original design Stained Glass piece... it will go in my kitchen window Dianne....as well as Christmas ornaments and Hearts beautiful work....Canadian Maple Syrup... and Locally made Candy... Leather Handmade coasters with Ontario's Flower (they are beautiful !). Oh...and LOVE this... a Local Cookbook with proceeds to go to "Find a Doc Fund".... I LOVE These cookbooks... I have some from my Floridian Grandmothers but I've never had one from anyone else much less so far away... I think I will read it like a book... so I don't miss anything... Saw a Bunch of Rhubarb recipes! LK , I'll have to plant that rhubarb! Also saw a Maple Syrup Pie Recipe .... Lots of YUMMY Soup recipes... Cauliflower, etc. Can't wait to try ! Precious Soft Socks... Perfect for Christmas Night / Morning... Burts Bee's lotion and foot lotion... I've ALWAYS wanted Burts Bees lotion but never bought any for myself !
