A little message

[blackmageheart]

Please bear with me as I try and get this out, it's something I need to say.

A lot of you will know about my recent troubles with my mental health and home life. When I posted in the vent thread, it was really just to get the frustrations off my chest. I often keep things to myself and it never helps to do that. I did not expect the amount of kindness and support I've received from this community over the past few weeks. I've had gifts for me and my daughter and even paypals! Nobody has ever been so kind to me and I don't really know how to thank everybody properly.
Thanks to everyone's help, I was able to give Ivy a happy Christmas and I think I will be a bit more stable soon. Hopefully with less stress I can concentrate on getting well again.
I have promised myself that everyone who gave me something, whether it was a gift or even just a kind message, they will receive something from me - no arguments! It will help me to concentrate on making things and I find I do better when I have a purpose. I don't care if it takes all year, I will do it!
And of course there is my work here at Sprite Stitch as well. I have never been part of a more wonderful, kind and generous community and I enjoy helping you all when I can.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I thank you all from the deep, murky recesses of my Hat. Stay awesome!

Happy Christmas to you and Ivy! I am not sure if my gift has made it to you yet, but I was happy to help you, who have helped us so much!

Merry Christmas, BMH and Ivy! I'm not sure if my gift made it there but I, too, was happy to help! Here's to everything working out!

Merry Christmas, I am glad to see that everyone pulled together. Hope you have a good one

I would like to say something too. I am proud to be a part of this community. So many of you were so quick to jump in and help our wonderful BMH. Thank you so much to all of you!
And thank you so much, BMH, for being such a wonderful person! You're the glue that holds Sprite Stitch together. ♥

I am glad my fellow stitchers were able to make Christmas great for you and your daughter BMH! Unfortunately, as badly as I wanted to help, I could barely get Christmas for my own daughter (hubby and I couldn't afford to give each other anything and it's my birthday to boot and nothing on that front either lolol) so I well understand your predicament. I meant to send you some words of awesomeness but I forgot to do so *hangs head in shame*. We all love you and the wonderful work you do keeping this site busy and running smoothly. All I'm going to say is...I hate forums. I don't tend to stick with them after a few months (I get bored). But I've been here for a year and can't see myself going anywhere because of you and the wonderful things you do here (and the friends I've met as well *small shout out ).

Merry Christmas BMH and childling from us and a Blessed New Year!

I can't stand to see crappy things happening to good people, so if it's possible for me to help I don't even think about doing anything else! BMH, you deserve all of the nice things that have happened over the last few weeks

Also, ^^this. This is the only forum I've ever been properly active on, and the reason for that is that this one is so welcoming and you're a big part of that, BMH!

Truth. Glad we could help you through a rough time! You and Ivy deserve it!

[Yurtle]

I am so so glad that you both were able to have a happy Christmas!! You deserve so much more!!

If there's anything I can do, please just let me know!

[blackmageheart]

Thank you everyone, you're too kind. I think I have something in my eye...

MOVING SWIFTLY ON

I'm not sure if people want me to keep their gifts secret/anonymous or not, but I would like to gather some pics of the stuff I've got and the stuff that I know is incoming (when it arrives, obviously). If you sent me something can you let me know if it's ok to say so?

I have the sads for this. I was lucky enough to receive things and so I shall do something for you too.
