The Party of 3 Appreciation Thread

[hopemax]

I wanted to start a thread all for Holly.

She asked for my new address soon after we got the keys, and said she was sending me a little something to celebrate. Well, we've been so busy that I had forgotten about it. Yesterday, DH said, "Do you know a Holly A---?" And I was like, "No, why?"

"Because she sent you something"

"Oh, Holly! Party of 3!"

Thank you very much for the packet. I had a mental note to pick up "new address" cards to send to the grandparents and other family who doesn't have email, and now I don't have to. The gift card was completely unexpected, and will be much appreciated. I am going to use it to buy a pair of floating shelves for the scrap room.

I know this has been a really rough year for you, and that just getting back into the day-to-day routine has been hard. It would be unexpected for someone not dealing with extra baggage, to send something to an "imaginary, internet friend/potential internet stalker psycho." :lmao: For you to go out of your way, and to think of us, shows how kind and generous of a person you are. Your mom and Bubba are so lucky to have a daughter and mother like you.

So...

Thank you so much!

And if anyone wants to share their Po3 appreciation, jump in!

I can chime in too! Thanks Party of 3 for offering to cut a Tinkerbell for my nieces birthday card (and wanting nothing in return). Big Hugs to you! :hug:

[morgansmom2000]

Holly is literally the sweetest person I know! She sent me a thank you card after we went shopping together at Jo's a couple weekends ago! (I'm sure her DH is not thanking me). It made me feel so good to get nice mail!

Enjoy, Hope!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I can vouch for the generosity of the Holly family. :love:

They sent a whole box full of their state's icons & symbols for a project my Eldest was doing. And her WHOLE family contributed to it. All I wanted was a postcard. We still talk about what great imaginary friends I have.

[party of 3]

ah shucks guys. thanks for all the kind words. it really was no big deal Hope. I just remember how exciting it was for me! i just wanted to pay it forward!

can i just have one moment to say thank you to ALL of you. this has been the roughest thing for me to deal with and w/out all of you i would have never made it. so i thank each and every one of you with all my heart. :hug:

i think i do the things i do because my mother was like that. she taught me that it will make you feel good to do a good deed for someone else. so she lives on in me!

:sad:
ok i have to go now 'cause i'm at work and crying.

you guys rock!

Holly is the sweetest and the best. I can't actually wait to meet her IRL. she's been my head cheerleader in the job search and keeping my confidence up. Love you Holly.

and Hope I know you'll love those shelves.

Holly is the sweetest. She brought a gorgeous vintage flowers birthday cake for me at my last crop. The bakery she goes to makes the prettiest cakes I have ever seen. I was so touched that she took the time out of her day to do that for me. :hug:

And yes, Holly, birthday cake should be CHOCOLATE!!! :goodvibes:rotfl2:

[StitchIsOurHero]

I have to chime in, too!! Holly is AMAZING! She has kept our family outfitted in Red Sox gear, and she sends the absolute sweetest cards ever!

Thanks, Holly, for being so amazing! Your kindness inspires me to be the same way to others even more often!!

[party of 3]

[ddavis860]

I can chime in here too. Holly sent coffee syrup for us to try after there was a conversation about it in one of the threads. AND just last week she was going to send me a troll :teeth:

Holly you are a great friend! :hug:

Coffee milk?

[AlexWyattMommy]

My son just used the last of his last night. How weird is that?

He loves his coffee milk. :lovestruc

[party of 3]

Coffee milk?
yes. they make it in Lincoln. next town over from me.
i think the people that are not locals drive by and must say to each other.....
do you smell coffee??? dh and i laugh about that ALL the time!

My son just used the last of his last night. How weird is that?

He loves his coffee milk. :lovestruc

want some more? happy to send it to you!

[AlexWyattMommy]

The next time you are in a swap of mine and you can tuck it in the box, that would be great. :flower3:

But there is no hurry. We are in Hot Chocolate season now. We tried to do the coffee milk warm, but is was way too much like real coffee for him. :rotfl2::confused3Go figure.

[party of 3]

i'll send it back with the bags.
:thumbsup2

[rlovew]

Holly is a sweetheart! I love the castles she spent so much time making a bunch of us- and I thought it was very sweet when she had me pick up My First Mickey Ears and mail them up for someone's baby.

[BernardandMissBianca]

My shout out to Holly. better grab tissues..........

Every time I see Hol's at Lisa's crop she fauns all over my monsters pictures and reminds me how truly blessed I am to have the family that I do. Even when they drive me absolutely bonkers, I love that Holly grounds me a bit and gives me that nudge to remember the sweetness and and kindness I get from my big ol' brood.

Cheers Holly!

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Holly is the best! She's always so helpful and encouraging and you never know when a card or something will pop up in your mailbox from her!!!

:love: ya Holly!

I know coffee milk is a RI thing. I didn't know it was Lincoln, guess I'll have to open my windows the next time I drive through there.

[party of 3]

dh and i always look at each other like :confused3 we are tourists. what's the smell he ALWAYS says. then we laugh like dopes!

[TinkerBean]

Another shout out to Holly here - I've gotten many surprises in the mail from my dear friend. Once I got a *beautiful* webkins bullfrog and DH was like "people you don't know are sending you frog...":laughing: He (the frog, not dh) sits on my TV in my bedroom and everytime I look at him, I feel loved.

And that's just one same example of the thoughfulness I've received from Holly. I am truly blessed to call her my friend.:cloud9:
