Yesterday Quinn got a big box from Dawn shipped from Ohio. A while ago Dawn spread the word on her blog and twitter that Quinn was about to get her ears pierced and she wrote this great post about my girl and her little self and then she asked people to send Miss Quinn earrings and you know what? People did.
The “Internets People” (Quinn’s term) sent (so many!) earrings and necklaces and treats and stickers and goodies and pens and note pads boxes and jewelry holders and books and more…you would not believe her eyes and her excitement! Hence the reason some of the boxes of jewels and goodies got separated from their notes and so, I have no idea who gave what…but I will tell you this, you Internets People!
You are amazingly generous and I’m humbled by your willingness to give a little sunshine to a sweet little girl. My girl.
My girl inspected everything, attempted to read every note and said shrieking “OOOOOOooooo, look at these, Mommy! And these! They are beautiful! I love them!” And my personal favorite, “Hey, wait! We have matching earrings! Can I go show Daddy?” She asked AGAIN in how many days can she change them and we looked at them all a few times over and talked about them and she said things like, “I have never seen any earrings like this! There are Qs and Monkeys and Flowers and Sparkles and Danglies and Stars and Pink and Purple and Green and…” I could seriously go on. But I will spare you.
So, thank you Dawn, Brett, Erica, Margie, Becky, Roni, Jess, Sarah, Rose, Dee, Jen, Heather, Jessica, Allie. If you are not on this list and you sent something, please let me know! Thanks too for those of you that remembered Gage. That was way sweet for a brother that Quinn loves but who is annoyed by her persistence to be near him! Also, I’d like to link your blog (or your shops!) in this post, so email me or leave a comment and I will.
Thank you for the time you all took out of your day to send something for my girl. Quinn really needed a distraction and this was just what the doctor didn’t order.
So much love from the Internets People!
That is a really big box!
I sent something, but I didn’t think to include a note because I’m a dolt. But the little necklace and earring set with yellow flowers were from me.
It’s neat to hear how excited she was.
Yay! I’m glad that the matching earrings went over well. My daughter likes us to match, so I thought Quinn might also.
I’m so glad that the internets were able to help brighten Quinn’s day. Hannah and I had a good time finding pretty things for her.
I sent the magnet paper doll in the jewelry box with the little trinkets. I didn’t include a note, either but I enjoyed putting it together for your beautiful girl! I am so glad she was showered with love!
I am so glad your daughter loved all the earrings! We had a very light year this year, and my hubby and I couldn’t participate in Toys For Tots (or any other charitable organization like I love to do). This made me feel so happy on the inside, picturing your little girl lighting u p over a big box of beautiful jewelry!! I would want someone out there to do something kind for my son, I’m so glad I could be a part of making her cute little day!!

Excellent! I’m very happy she liked them all – I hope she got mine too, since I don’t think I even sent a note.
She deserves a little sparkle from us internets!
Not sure if ours made it into the box, but Miss I picked sparkly pink stars. Best to your little girl from mine.
