Dear Friends,

Some of you will remember this thread.

Within it, Donna mentioned that they lost all of their Christmas ornaments in their basement flood.

Well, I thought we could each donate an ornament to their family for their tree.

Donna has sent me her address and if you would like to send her an ornament, please "pm" me and I will send you her address.

This will be fun!

Oh, Maria, this is a GREAT idea!

I'd like to send a couple of hand-knit ornaments to her for her 4Real tree! Please send the address....

Ok, friends,

If you have pm'd me or if you mentioned here, I have emailed you with Donna's address.

So, if you have NOT yet received a response, please email me again!

She'll have a GORGEOUS tree and even if it's an artificial tree, it'll be 4REAL. (Got that idea from Mary G).

Ok, so I'm off the computer until tomorrow morning. We just had Sophia's birthday party and Steve tried to make it home in time for it but his car broke down on his way home from the drop yard. We were going to go to Mass as a family tonight, but when I picked him up he was wet (it's been raining here) and feeling sick. I dislike missing Mass especially on a feast day such as today! But it is what it is.

Thanks again everyone - especially if you read that last ramble! LOL!

I just happen to have bought 6 new ornaments this weekend at the Catholic store. Send me her address and I'll send these ornaments to her, one for each of her children here on earth.

That's too cute for words ! I got my package in the mail today, which makes this the first and only Christmas purchase thus far...
