The Incredible Power of Hugs
I picked up a UPS parcel yesterday. Nookie told me it was coming, that it was just a little thing she was sending. Nookie lied. It was so much bigger than the box it was packed in. It was big enough to hold you all.
The first thing I found was a card and the plush Carmen banana. Reading the words in the card touched my heart (Nookie can turn a phrase like no other). Then I looked further and found the blanket in the bottom. First, it’s a dark wine-ish colour – one I am particularly fond of. Second, it had a little teddy bear with a heart embroidered on it, with hugs around. But most magical of all were the names embroidered all over the blanket. I touched each name as I read them (so if you felt a ghostly goosing, sorry about that). Wow. Just. Wow.
At this point, words fail me. There is so much I would like to say, but the ones that come to mind are: Thank you. So now I have a very special hug when I snuggle under the blanket from some of the most incredible people. Again, thank you. And since a picture is worth a thousand words:

Awww! I love seeing the smile on your face, Survey! Nookie *is* special, isn't she? I'm just so grateful to her for getting this together for you, because *you* deserve it!
*smooches* & {{hugs}}

I got chills reading this. I even read it more than once because it made me so happy to know how happy it made you. That Nookie is a special one, isn't she.
*warm fuzzy smooches and hugs*

YAY! I'm so glad you finally received it. I do want to apologize for the inconvenience of you having to pick it up though.
I have tears in my eyes because you have such a way with words. You are right though. It was one simple little box filled with the love from all your blogger friends.
I'm thrilled to see the picture. Your smile warms me!
LOL at some of us feeling a ghostly goose. *SNORT*
*BIG HUGS*

I have tears in my eyes from reading what you wrote. Now my eyes can't focus on the picture! *blink blink blink* OK, that's better.
Nookie is so special. She sent us photos of the blanket and a close- up of where our name was.
I'm glad you are enjoying the blanket and super glad that you posted a picture.
*hugs*

I know this package was meant to give Survey a warm fuzzy feeling, but I just got one too when I read this.
*hugs*
Nookie really is the best, isn't she.

I get ghpstly goosed in the shower every now and again. :)
It hasn't pinched my bum in awhile though.

Oooh, you are cute with your blanky. I'm glad you like it!
I agree with Lightsy.. I feel all warm and snuggly just thinking about you and your blanky.
(oh, and nookie)

Yay! How wonderful to see you smiling under your blanket while we all *hug* and *smooch* you! I love that shade of red too!
When you rub my name, don't hold back. I like it a little rough.

I love you! I am glad it arrived, and I enjoy seeing you wrapped up in it.
BTW: I think the same thing when I have the blanket you sent to me, hugs from SS.

Glad you received the blanket and the rest of Nookie's goodies.
You'll need that blanket to stay warm with all that snow. Gotta love Canada, eh? :-)
