Just wanted to say thank you to rainbow4 for my beautiful ornaments that I got in the mail today! Pretty brass ones! One has a star on it and says Hope,one has a dove on it and says Peace,and one has a Christmas tree on it and says Joy!And such a nice card as well!I was so excited to see that my package came from Kansas-how neat being as I live in Ohio!
Thank you SO much Barb! I will think of you each year as I put them on our tree,with especially fond feelings because they came from a fellow bc warrior and though we have never met,we have this common bond.Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

    that is so awesome glad you are happy! doesnt it seem like we do "know" each other though? sometimes I have to remind myself I have never met all of you. but sometimes I say more to you than to the other people I have really met.LOL

    But you sure know me.....
    As I said earlier, you couldn't have made me smile bigger, carkris, with your package!!!

    I think the only thing missing (if there is anything at all) is being able to use Skype or something interactive over the internet so we really COULD 'talk' with each other if we wanted....my beau actually runs weekly clinic from The Netherlands via Skype....sees patient's results, everything!

    Hugs, Kathi

    Wonderful time of year!
    And your ornaments sound so pretty!!!!

    I have a special ornament tree (well, you see it in my avatar) for my extra special ornaments...my ship is now there, and my other beauties beside it....

    And, one year, I was given an ornament made with a dog's paw print in pink....this dog had fought breast cancer, just like me!!!

    Hugs, Kathi

    So happy
    that you like them, Outdoorgirl! I thought they just expressed the time of year, as well as our positive thoughts as we battle the beast! I'm surprised that you received the package that quickly, considering I sent it about a week later than I intended. Oh, well...
    My best to you ♥

    Peace, Joy and Hope.
    Peace, Joy and Hope. Messages for the season but also great messages for a survivor too. What a lovely choice of ornaments. And brass is a great choice, it is strong and beautiful. This is just the best Christmas ever. I am hoping that by the middle of next week I will be hearing that my ornaments arrived at their destinations. I sent to more than one person cause this is so fun. For those that haven't received their ornaments, maybe it's you and for the other two, you won't even be expecting them. LOL
