Udderly Astounded And So Thankful For You!

You Guys!

 

Here I was, thinking I was going to surprise YOU, working in cahootie pants with my friend, Ardyth, to set up a fun "Anniversary Photo Linky," which idea floated between the two of us in a non chalet manner, as ideas sometimes do.  Tuesday night, I checked in with her, "Are you putting the linkie on tomorrow?" 

 

"Yes," says she, Ms. Ino Cent.

 

"How fun," say I, "no one will expect it."

 

There Ardyth was, ROTFL!  Turns out she was a busy, busy girl over the weekend, spreading the news to a lot of you about the upcoming anniversary of me and my Mister!  I understand that a lot of you then got yourselves busy, too, and spread the word!  You guys!  If you didn't get contacted, it's only because they ran out of time or couldn't find an email for you. 

So Ardyth did, in fact, set up an "Anniversay Photo Linky," on her blog, MASKerade, which I expected.  What I did NOT expect was the avalanche of anniversary cards and emails and and dedicated posts on your blogs and best wishes that poured in from all over the world!
 

You guys are lucky my defibrillator didn't go off!! 

You guys stunned, surprised, gob-smacked, and udderly astounded me and Mister!

You guys choked me up with tears and with laughter!

You guys filled me up with an abundance of love!

If you haven't received a personal email or comment from me, it's only because I'm still responding and I'll get to you soon.  (I've had to put in an emergency request to Blogger for extra exclamation points!)

 

Thank you seems so inadequate for how deeply appreciative I am of the outpouring of love I have received. But unless you need one of my organs (and I wouldn't if I were you), then that's the best I can say from the bottoms of my feet.

 

Except, mwah!

Welcome, ladies!!  Mister is busy this morning, starting an addition on the Playhouse so everyone will be comfortable and the party can keep on keepin' on!!  Thank you so much for joining us!!

And Trina, too, welcome, my new friend!  I can't find a blog for you, so please let me know if you have one that you'd like me to introduce to everyone!

~~~

Reminder:  Link Up at Ardyth's If You Haven't Done it Yet!

 

If you haven't checked out the love link over at Ardyth's MASKerade, please do yourself a flavor and check it out and join in! It is going to be open for two weeks, so there is plenty of time. If you have posted a card, please post again with a wedding photo.  If you have trouble, just let Ardyth know and she'll fix it for you.

As Ardyth says, it's a wonderful way for us all to get to know each other a little better!

And besides, I'm thinking the timing turns out to be perfect because, as card-makers, we are all thinking about love and hearts and VD.

You can't help but smile as you thumb through the nails of the wonderful photographs of people in love! And just to be clear, we want to see your pictures from when you first fell in love, even if you aren't married, and no matter who your partner is.  We don't judge.  We LOVE LOVE!  And everyone would love to see yours if you haven't linked one yet!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy your day.   LITS*!

 

As always, thank you very much for stopping by to visit the Playhouse. Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment.

You guys are the best!!
