I have said before that I am continually amazed that God has brought so many wonderful friends into my life thru this crazy paper-crafting hobby of mine. :) I have a group of friends that I became acquainted with as a result of following a thread on SCS about Lauren's little girl, Alexa, who was very sick with cancer at the time. (Read Alexa's story here) Thru praying for Alexa and Lauren and the rest of the family and thru 'talking' with one another on this thread and trying to encourage Lauren, this amazing group of ladies became a very tight-knit group of friends that have come to mean so much to me. Lauren said one day that Alexa thought we were all her momma's "pretend stamping friends" because she couldn't see us -- we were imaginary people on the computer to her. How cute is that?! So that day, the PSF's were born and for probably a year and a half or so now, we've been getting closer every day. We've laughed together and cried together and joined one another in prayer over and over again. Our little 'family' has lost loved ones together and have welcomed new little bundles into the world as well. I can't tell you how blessed I've been by these ladies.
Fast forward to last week.....I received a package in the mail from Jenn in Canada and I couldn't imagine what she would have been sending me. Turns out, she made me a mini scrapbook containing everyone's 'address book info' PLUS a picture of each PSF AND as if that wasn't sweet enough, she asked each one to send her a sentance about me. She wrote each one's comments by their picture. I was so, SO touched that someone would make me such a special gift but then to have such sweet things said about me from each of the PSF's was just soooo moving. I cried. Then I read it all again and cried some more. :)
Thank you SO much to each of you girls for the sweet things you said. And Jenn, I can't thank you enough. You are so kind and thoughtful and caring. I can't imagine how much time and energy and LOVE you poured into this scrapbook.....You are such a dear and I just want you to know how much this means to me.
This is a gift I'll treasure.
