Wow, I am blown away!!! So this gift actually came a little while ago but it has taken me so long to write a thank you note because honestly, I was just so taken aback by the great kindness from my rematch Santa that I just couldn't get myself to write anything without bursting into tears.

My mom passed away from breast cancer back in 2008 and it has absolutely left me heart broken. My mom LOVED to do needlecrafts and even taught me the basics, but I never kept up with it. When I think about doing needlepoint now I just get really sad because I think about all the great times I had with my mom doing crafts (and not just needlepoint crafts). When the package arrived from my rematch Santa I was so excited because I have been a bit screwed over on a few of my Santa exchanges. When I opened my gift I was absolutely blown away.

Opening the gift I was greeted by some pretty amazing things-I gots some templates to work from that are absolutely my style and type of humor, I also got fabric to actually needlepoint on, string to do the projects that don't have string included with them, projects that do include the thread, and sweet little notes to go along with everything that give me great tips. What I saw last absolutely BLEW ME AWAY! Tucked behind everything was a little envelop that said "hey buddy" on the front. In that note my Santa wrote me tips to help me throughout each project and a lovely letter to give me encouragement. I don't know if my Santa knows this but what she wrote reminded me so much of something my mom would do that I broke down in tears. With this letter my mind was flooded with great memories of the times I had with my mom. I know I could never thank my rematch Santa enough for what they have done to me but let me say this-truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you rematch Santa. Not only have you left me speechless with wonderful memories of my mom, but you have reignited my passion for needlepoint crafts.

Thanks so much rematch Santa, you're the best!!
