Whitney scored the goodmail today with this darling package from Kristi. Inside this cute box (with the polka-dotted ribbon pull) was a set of 14 personalized cards and envelopes. Whitney was actually speechless! (That's really something.) When I took the items into the scrapbook room so I could scan them she said, "For the sake's of heaven, why do you have to scan them?" She was so excited. Thank you Kristi for being so thoughtful and talented!
P.S. This gift was a "sorry you had to have eye surgery" gift.

Holy cow -- it really is Whitney's lucky day! The only time I've seen Whitney speechless is after her eye surgery when she couldn't open her eyes. That package must have made some impression!
SO cute! Did Kristi make those, or did she buy them somewhere? They are absolutely adorable. Now she can practice writing a Thanks You note on one of them.
Hi, Kristi, can I get a 'sorry you had to have a natural childbirth in a foreign country' gift? My goodness... Jill do you brainwash your friends or what? I want fabulous gifts like that! I guess this is the point that you tell me that I don't give fabulous gifts so I can't expect to get them. Ok, one step at a time. I won't hold my breath for the gift, Kristi.
(That first comment is really from Michelle. I was signed in at her house earlier today and apparently didn't sign out.)
I am so glad she liked them. not the most exciting gift for a child to get stationery.
When jeff and i first moved to nashville we needed money and we needed it bad! so i made a little catalog with about 20 designs sets of cards. I sent it to a ton of people and we were fortunate to have it help pay for groceries. i had not made these in a while and it brought back great meemories of how blessed we were to make money off of paper.
The other thing of note is that after reading some of the comments it made me think why is it that after 10 years of not seeing you and never meeting your daughter i am so thrilled to send her something for having eye surgery. and i hope you realize what a refelection on you! You are one of the most giving people i know. You reap what you sow, so get ready to rake it in.
love you.
i agree with kristi- jill gets all these wonderful things because she is always putting wonderful things out there... she is a posterchild for generosity and makes me want to be more so. (come to think of it, I have a lot of people like that in my life, so maybe they oughta teach me something...)
Beautiful! I can't imagine getting something like that at that tender age! I remember liking Garfield Stationary from Payless Drugs when I was 16 how pathetic is that! I have always loved to write, and if I ever have a girl I will probably make her stationary like that! GENIUS!
It is really cute and fun to get it later- draw out the goodness! I love spreading out the good stuff! Sometimes I think we should have birthweeks, thankful weeks, lucky weeks... One thing a day for many days so we can enjoy each gift instead of opening 10 and not being able to appreciate each one the right way. Good job Kristi- at making WAY cute cards and at extending the healing thoughts!
