Through all the good sobbing and happy tears, Im writing to you guys, all you guys who participated in NAMS CONIVING PLAN! Sneaky suckers! But so incredibly sweet. I cannot get over what you guys did for me. The Black Sunset Griffin is absolutely stunning- and when they do come available (if they arent already), you must run right out and buy one- or 2. It will floor you.
I am very touched that you guys would do something like this for me. I cant remember the last time ppl Ive only ever known through a computer screen ever did anything nicer than simply be nice while typing. NO ONE that Ive ever not met in person, has ever gone to such a generous extent (even in thought), such as you guys did. Despite all thats been said over the past few funky days, you know how much this Griffin is going to be cherished. I relish ever minute with him and he will become the center of the collection that I currently have (mostly the blacks of all the creatures). Im already working out where the display is going to go in the new place (cat proof of course). Photos to come once I and they, are settled in our new digs.
When the package arrived, I picked it up (heavy!) and thought, “what in my blonde, hazy noggin did I order from Windstone?” Especially something that heavy. I opened it and laughed as the ceiling fan took the foam peanuts on top, into its updraft, raining them down on the cats who had a ball laughing at mommy scurrying to collect them all so they wouldnt ingest them. I saw the card first but did look at the top of the box for the sticker that would tell me what was in it. No sticker!
If I was young again, Id have torn right into the gift part but being older now :lol:, I opened the card first and within reading one sentence, started bawling like a boob. I read what Nam and Melody had to write and was so very touched. I then went on to read the pages of sentiments that Nam had put together from all of you who wrote in to her with what you wanted to say to me. She put it on lovely stationary paper with the blue skies and clouds and listed everyone who participated in her plan, whether you had time to write something or not.
MISS MELODY- it was so very kind of you, and I was so moved that you signed the felt the way you did, including the little cartoon quote bubble over the Windstone logo griffin <3. I cant believe that the artist/sculptress Id admired most and ever since I was a teen, had taken time out of her intensely hectic schedule to not only paint the griffin herself, but take time to add her heart felt sentiments in several places. Im humbled, honored and more appreciative than my ramblings can express- and that aint no sunshine blowin', to be sure.
NAM- you coniving little minx! I truly didnt know you were going to do this! And you so stealthily had me under your thumb when I was pushing to be a part of this plan! In this case, Im overjoyed to play the fool! I thought youd just email me a day before the production piece dropped so I could grab one before they sold out, or that you might put one aside for me in case I wasnt online. I never expected the elaborate plan that you, Ms. Mel and the forum members orchestrated here. How do you say “thank you” for something like this? You cant even see my face, see trembling hands- albeit with happiness. You just get text. Thats partially why my posts get lengthy- to make up for the lack of the face to face that body language translates with no need for words. We cant do that here- so I ramble.
That said, I’ll close it now. Thank you again Nam and Mel and of course, to each and every one of you who took a blind leap of heartfelt faith and jumped into this plan directed towards someone youve only met through a computer chat board- and truthfully, only for a short time. I really dont have the right most powerful words (or emoticons!) to express my full range of emotions and gratitude. What more can I say & do than close my eyes, raise my hand to my heart, head tilt & bow and say a truly, most honest, genuine “thank you.”
Love you guys- I really, truly do. <3<3<3 XOXO
now- where’s the dang kleenex!
