Comment: this was a special box i think you sent me the wrong one but everything in it was extra special. thank you . it also came at a time that i could really use a uplift and it did it.
Response: What did I get wrong....It should have had a red rose dishcloth and a daffodil yellow dishcloth and treats........if not that, what was in it?

Comment: I am opening this package and typing at the same time!! I love all you sent--you spoiled me!! I LOVE the bluebonnet sock yarn and the pattern, the candle, the sockblocker keychain and the armadillo keychain (that made me laugh out loud!!!), the CHOCOLATE bars, the yellow sock yarn (and I'm not a fan of yellow unless it's a complex color and this is GORGEOUS!), and the crochet kit. How did you know I can't crochet?? This is a LOVELY, GENEROUS, THOUGHTFUL package--it was waiting for me after a 6 day hospital stay and really perked and cheered me up. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
