    Default I am so grateful

    I received a box in the mail from a wonderful QB member today and I am so grateful and delighted by her kindness and generosity.
    The box was stuffed full of orphan blocks, precut shapes, nearly finished tops she didn't want to work on any longer and other treasures. It was like Christmas in July!!!
    I can't stop playing with them and my mind is just boiling with all kinds of ideas how to use them.

    I don't know if she wants me to give her name, so I won't, but I just had to give my thanks both publicly and privately. One more of the fantastic people we have here on this board who pay it forward as I surely will do having received this box of joy!

    Thank you for thanking this donor, whoever it was. I sent fabric to someone several years ago who indicated she was unable to purchase fabric because of several hardships. Not one word of thanks did I ever receive! I sent it from the goodness of my heart and really didn't need thanks, but as I read on one of the posts recently: it seems good manners are a thing of the past.
