...a HUGE THANK YOU....

.....to the most generous and talented MADAME SAMM !!
 ...it definitely was a unexpected SURPRISE!!


.......it started Friday afternoon....
I was out helping a friend and
when I got home the telephone message light was flashing......
Ontario call.....I thought to myself....
I don't recognize the number...
I listen to the message and this sweet voice said "this is.....but I didn't catch the name...
listened again....still didn't catch the name...but I did get
"drop me a line when I can call you back....talk to you soon".
The voice was so soft, calming ....angel like.

I thought 'who is this'

I hit the dial button and there was this sweet voice again.

I identified myself and then asked....who is this?

"This is Madame Samm....."

....well I just about peed my pants, my heart started racing.....
my feet started dancing.

She called me.....yes ME right out of the clear blue...ME....still can't believe it....
said she wanted to give MY blog a makeover...

 
....from this point I'm not sure what I said to her...

I just couldn't think...I know she asked me a few questions 

but I'm not sure what they all were or if I even answered them...

I was sEw EXCITED.....I do remember saying I like the color red...
but she said she is 'visioning' the color blue....and I do like blue
I'm good with blue...

after what seemed like only a few minutes

we said our good byes....as I set the phone down....length of call 53 minutes
OMG I talked for 53 minutes to her and I know she is one busy lady.

I thought to myself how did she get my phone #....

I quickly dialed my BFF Mama Spark....and still squealing with excitement
said.....I just got off the phone with Madame Samm
and she wants to give OUR blogs a makeover... YOURS and MINE.
she was laughing and excited too....then she says
"yes I know MSamm emailed me and asked if  I would give her your phone #".
Mama Spark then says to me
"you have no idea how hard it was to keep this secret from you"
....I had already talked to her earlier in the morning and not a peep,
her lips were definitely sealed....

....it's now Saturday morning
the phone rings....it's Madame Samm....
and the same excitement hits me....my hands are going, my feet are dancing
my mind is racing and I'm feeling hyper...calm down I say to myself.
At this point I think she said she was going to use red....
and I said...something like...red is good.

After a few more emails and phone calls

I get an email from Madame Samm saying 'take a peak'

I loved it immediately....the pinkish red with polka dots is absolutely perfect.
How did she know I luv polka dots.....
how did she know I was now thinking that red may be too harsh
a dark pink....almost red....might be better
then she tells me 
she made that shade of pinkish red.....just for me....she says nobody else will have it.
Then came another email with my very own button

and then a signature tag.

  
designed by the amazing talented Madame Samm...lol
Needless to say I'm still floating about 6" off the floor.


Madame Samm.....
....you have unselfishly touched me with your kindness and generosity
 given me encouragement .....
when I lacked confidence in myself...
.....from the bottom of my heart......THANK YOU :)

Hugs from Michigan 

You will love Mama Spark's blog....it's awesome too.
