Just My Way of Saying Thank You!






I have to say I am just overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of love that so many of you have given to me and my family over the past few months. You have been so supportive through all of our medical issues and now with all of your prayers for my cousin Mandy. I have never met many of you and yet I feel like some of you are my dearest friends. Our family has been amazed at the generosity and love that you all have given to us and especially to Myah during her surgery. We all just need to huddle right now for a big ol group hug!! I have said it before but I never realized that adopting a little Chinese girl would open my world to a whole new family of friends. You all bring tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat, I love you dearly.

So, I know I am about 10 posts away from my 200th post giveaway (remember my giveaway back in October?), but I wanted to do something in honor of your faithfulness to our family and all of the prayers, quilt squares, gifts etc. I came across this a few weeks ago at my favorite store Home Goods and snatched it up before anyone else could get their grubby little paws on it. For one of you. It is so pretty, it can hang or could rest up against something, it is about 9x11 inches and it is magnetic! See the cute little fleur de lis magnets on it! And it has the Chinese Rose on it!! Perfect! So you know the drill, leave me a comment or email me and I will have my lovely assistant draw a name to declare a winner! Just for the record, you are all winners in my book! I will draw the names on Monday evening.

And by the way, remember last giveaway was a tutu that I had made, well, I finally got around to posting the instructions for how to make your own over at my other blog, click here to go there.

Oh Leslie - your heart is so warm and good. No drawing necessary. Friend, you have been through it and I am just so thankful that you can feel surrounded by love and compassion and that you are lifted up by folks who truly care for your family.

Hi Leslie,

I have been checking over and over to see how you are doing. I just feel so empty for you. It comforts me knowing the Holy Spirit intercedes when I just don't know what to say on your behalf...

Congratulations on nearly 200 posts! Your giveaway is lovely.

Hang in there...

Love,
Lisa
