thanks!!!

Dear Jen,
My package came today! YAY!!!
I love the apron - can't wait to put it to use on the next batch of cookies or cupcakes I make! I don't want to fold it up in a drawer either - I'm trying to figure out a way to hang it proudly in the kitchen without being a big dork.

Conner went absolutely nuts for the I Spy Pillow - first it was "this is awesome" - then it was "look mommy, a ..." (repeated numerous times) - then it was laying on the kitchen floor "this is SO comfy, mommy!!!" - repeated all over again when Daddy got home!I can't wait to take it on our big road trip this summer!!

I wish I'd had my camera ready when Abby first saw the doll. Her eyes truly lit up and she grinned her head off!!! (She then proceeded to try and untie the blue ribbons from her ponytails. Hmmm... I don't think so, sweetie!) It will probably sit on a shelf in her room for a month or two, mostly because I'm selfish and want to enjoy it a little before she chews up the yarn (a weird phase she's in) or pulls out the ponytails.

What marvelous handiwork, and such thoughtful gifts for my kids too. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I am so glad that you are enjoying the stuff. I had a lot of fun putting it together. I think we both got lucky on this one!

Oh, Courtney ... I agree ... I love those little pillows. Can't wait until my guy is old enough for one.
