A Sweet Gift from a Special Lady ...

I received the sweetest gift over the weekend from our friend Jeannette, at Sincerely Yours, Jeannette. Her note inside the package read:

"I've been wanting to send this to Avery (our 3-year-old granddaughter) for 3 weeks now! Just a little 'thank you' for bringing me good luck in your giveaway! Hope she enjoys it. I remember you saying in a post that you read to her. Sincerely yours, Jeannette."

Jeannette, I can't tell you how much your thoughtfulness meant to me. I let Avery open the package and she was so excited and loved the precious little ornament, as you can see in these pictures ...




The ornament is called "Oh, What Fun to Read," and is from Hallmark's Keepsake Collection.

You are truly one of a kind, Jeannette, and I sincerely appreciate your friendship. And every Christmas, when Avery hangs her ornament, we will all think of you and your kindness.

Sincerely,

Hi Janie,
This is such a sweet post. That was really very sweet of Jeanette wasn't it?

I love the pictures of Avery...especially that second one where she is just beginning to smile!

Have a wonderful day!

How darling, Janie! You can just see that precious Avery's joy in opening that ornament. Her little face just lit up! Oh, this is so adorable.

Dear Janie! This was so sweet of you but totally unecessary to mention me!(I'm blushing!)lol BUT seeing Avery's smile was just as I hoped! So glad she enjoyed it; the ornament just screamed her name and I hope she enjoys it as much as I am enjoying the giveaway picture! Best wishes dear, Jeannette (I love your new header picture; just gorgeous!)
