Jenilu I so sincerely sorry for your loss and I’m sure you’re going through such a difficult time worrying about your mom. I’m glad you can come to VF for some lightness and distraction. We are a great group.

I totally understand your comments about our pets and how they feel so proud of their toys and treats.

We’re here for you. Better days are coming.

Sending lots of hope, peace and love.

Day 2: Woohoo I'm so excited to have this..Jill Miller shoulder shape up! I am going to do this today!
AND a GORGEOUS red necklace with heart bling for my sweet furfriend. We both agree that it matches her beauty quite nicely!
Day 3: I HAD to open the two smallest gifts after I was sent a hint that a clue would be revealed of who my VF Santa is. One was the most adorable keychain of porcelain clogs and a daisy flower shaped tin cookie cutter. I will have fun using for pies and decorating! So..I feel like people are the tea towels and this keychain that people will think I visited the Netherlands
THANK YOU to my VF Santa.. is it Nelly G.???!![/QUOTE]

Hi Linda,

Yes it is me I am your secret Santa.

I liked to enclosed some Dutch presents to give you something different you do not see in the USA and was hoping you like it. I really hoped you and your cat would like the red necklace so I am glad you both did. I am enjoying reading each day that you are opening the packages.

I enjoy giving so people feel happy after getting it. In this world and time of Covid it is important to show we care about other people.

Jenilu, I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I lost a brother to cancer last year, and I still ache for the hole his death left in my life. I am praying for you and your mother.

Jen, you know we are here for you. I am so very sorry for the loss of your sister and your mother's illness. <3 I am around if you need me.

Hugs,
Sherry

I just found a box from Amazon on my porch. For once, I know I hadn't ordered anything

(an unusual state, believe me!).

I opened the box to find an adorable Peanuts wall calendar! Thank you to whomever sent it. I have had to find a new spot for my yearly calendar (our stinker tuxedo cat Mila has decided to start clawing the calendar I hang up in the kitchen on our only free wall space....long story!) so I am going to put it on the wall next to our desk instead.

There was nothing in the box to indicate the sender.

Whomever you are, thank you so much!! I really appreciate it.

Sherry

Thank you so much Sherry! I hope you have the best holiday season and we are also so lucky to have you here as part of this VF community

Wow! So nice!
