A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Thank You Diane(Angelblossom)....

Today I recieved a parcel from our loving Diane. The parcel had been opened at customs, although they never opened anything besides the box itself. Hoping there was no note, because I couldn't find one

You can just tell how loving Diane is just by the way each item is wrapped and packed...kinda too pretty to open, if you know what I mean. Oh but I did open them.....and I cried.

Diane, you are truly an angel, how you can take the time and money to buy and give to those whom you may never meet just leaves me speechless. Words could never express what you've done for me.

I'll post what was in as the pics upload to Kodak...you'll have to wait in suspence for a bit now

Tam!

Can't wait to see the pics! Diane always gives wonderful, thoughtful gifts!!

Here's what I found when I opened the box.

...and this is what was in the box.

Pretty flowers on each wrapped gift. Flip-flops that say 'Just Married' on the soles....I'll take some pics of the snow prints they'll make after the wedding

Cute little embellishments for an album or scrapbook(too cute), and melting wax with a "M" monogrammed stamper~ which I will definately use...you can't find anything like that around here.

A package of tissue with the cutest printing(very sweet), I'll keep them in DH's pocket on our big day.

And after all that, I opened a long narrow box and pulled out the most beautiful item I have ever seen. A silver marriage certificate holder. I then turned it over to see that it had been personalized with our names and the wedding date....and I cried.

Diane, you will never know how that touched me. It will be one of my most treasured gifts ever. We live in an area where you'd never find such an item. I don't know how I'll ever be able to re-pay you for your kindness.
Gee, I'm crying again

Tamara, what wonderful gifts for your special day.

Diane, you truly are such a special person with the most thoughtful and caring heart.

Beautiful, all so pretty and thoughtful. That's our Diane for you.

Wow!! Beautiful gifts! Diane did a wonderful job!

An excellent surprise! I'm so happy for you Tamara. Diane never fails to do an excellent job!

Beautiful, just beautiful.

What wonderfully thoughtful gifts!
Diane surely knows how to make a friend feel special with her carefully thought out gifts.

The marriage certificate holder is beautiful, and what a nice engraving job too!
And the sealing wax - great fun! I've always liked that since I was a teen. And those flip-flops - never saw any like that before - too cute!

Tamara You're soooooooooo funny,.,. You made me tear up just reading what you wrote ,,, ,, I'm soooooooooo glad you likey likey~

Diane what a wonderful friend you are to all of us, love to see the gifts you come up with, Tamara you are special to all of us and we love seeing all your wedding plans... you have been so very creative with your all the things you have made...

not!! There was a Card on top of the Bag of gifts tho but ,,, Better your gifts got there than the card,,,, You want I should send you another card!???

Well, it's o.k., I really don't like to travel far anyway

I had a funny feeling there was a note or such...damn customs. They could at least take the time to put things back, I'm surprised they never opened everything.

Diane, you don't need to send another card, you've done more than you could ever imagine. DH was amazed at the gifts, he kept saying "Why would a stranger send you such nice things?", she's not a stranger I told him. She's a part of my family on Bill and Cindy's gardening forum....our gardening angel. He's still confused.

He is slowly learning of you all, I was surprised the day when I was crying over the fact I had no one to be my Maid of honour and he said, to bad that Loz girl is so far away

Thanks again Diane.

Thanks for the kind words from everyone as well

I told DH about the cruise, he asked if we could trade it in on a hunting trip out west

tamara: tell him to go and speak to the Canadian Border Authorities.


but you know---I don't remember if I posted this or was just thinking it, but I suppose it is possible that after opening up your "Wedding Card" they felt so bad they left the gifts alone & threw away the "evidence" of what they had done---do ya think it could of been that way???

*the "evidence" would be the opened card*

Toooooooooo Funny! Tamara,, ,, I was tempted to send him a funny gag gift for the groom IT was a hat like cat in the hat hat, only it was Black with the word Groom on it,, good thing I didn't , he would have opted for a hunter's cap in Orange!

Not sure, I'm surprised they never opened the rest as well.

Too funny Diane.

I got a Thank-you card from Tamara today!
And Best Of all I got a wedding picture of her and Carey

Thank you soo much Tamara,, you are so beautiful and your Carey? Handsome he is indeed!! I feel honored you sent me one of those pictures. This picture will be framed and placed in my computer room on the wall of friends from the Garden Helper!

I totally missed this entire post. Great presents Diane and a beautiful picture in return. You two make a handsome couple.

That is such a great picture, I just love it!

I totally missed this:

You know if I were just a little closer I would've been honored.

Thank you Diane...we laughed about how my dress is all baggy in the pics. It was too big

Just a quick note though, would you mind removing the pic please. I don't mind it being posted privately though. thanks.

Ohhhhhhhh Tamara I'm soooooooo sorry I should have asked first ,,,,, Shame on me!

It's o.k.
