I was away for the weekend to the Bachelorette Party! I met such sweet young women - all very good friends of each other plus there were 2 other mothers there besides me. I made up gift bags (with their names) containing their goodies that I had made. The bags were placed at our first meal together acting as place cards. They all opened them and the comments were simply wonderful. "You made this?" "These are wonderful - you should sell them" "These gifts are incredible"..... I couldn't speak I was so emotional by the sincere lovely comments. You never know what people will like or not - but, these young women were so sincere and each thanking me - it truly touched me! I appreciate everyone here and their supportive comments and encouragement as I was making these gifts - thank you bunches!! Hugs to all, Laura

I happy you had a good time! Also, I am glad to know they showed their appreciation. Sometimes young people are indifferent. I loved all you made so they had to be excited to be the recipients!❤️T

Thank you, Kim!! It was a wonderful group to meet! I got to spend extra time and get know my future "Bonus" daughter better and she is a sweetheart! The wonderful comments on the gifts were worth every stitch. Plus, I had the chance to understand and learn so much from my new embroidery machine while making the gifts!! Thanks again!!

I am so glad that everything was a hit. I had never doubted it. True , sometimes one can not tell what another person may like, but I feel anytime someone takes the time to make something it should be acknowledged. I can very well imagine how excited these young ladies were. Your items were so special.

They are a sweet group of young ladies - just like our future bonus daughter (I've never like "in-law" term). So happy they invited me! Thank you, Angie!! Hugs to you!

That makes all the time spent thinking up who would like what worthwhile.
So happy they loved and appreciated everything.

Martine, it truly did. They actually went around the table - each saying what their wine charm was and how it related to them. I was delighted. Thank you!!!!

Laura how lovely to hear that all your carefully thought out and created gifts were so well received AND that you had such a super time
