Count me in on an ornament for also. You can PM me her address or I can send it to you to give to her. Let me know. Just might be a little late. My wife has a request for 5 and I only have 3 carved, but I should have hers done by this weekend.

Thor mine will go out in the mail tomorrow. I hope she likes it. I didn't even look at it. But I have to mail it before Katy steals it so it must be OK.

Ron, all of you are being so generous. This is going to be a very special holiday for Mary because of these wonderful acts of kindness.
You guys make me so proud of our message board.

Thanks everyone.
Mary received her first ornaments this morning from Tom H. He sent 3! She teared up, and just went on and on about how incredible it is to be accepted as a woodcarver and to receive ornaments from someone she's never even met!
Last I saw of her, she was going home to put up her Christmas tree!
Tom, you really made her day. Thanks again. I enjoyed watching her open it just as much as she enjoyed it.
Again, have a wonderful holiday.
Thor

Now THAT'S ambition!

I've found carving to be very therapeutic, especially to help get rid of stress; looks like carving has been a great relaxation tool for Mary too.

So happy for her and wish her the very best!

Thor, I don't know about the rest but I would love to see close ups of Mary's work. Mine ornaments should be there today or tomorrow. That is if you have better postal service than I do.

HI Kenny,
She has "GIVEN" away every one of the ornaments posted already. I'm so glad I took pictures for her.

Three more packages arrived in the mail this afternoon, and I will give them to her in the morning. I will take pictures of her new challenges after the holidays.

Well Thor, I really didn't expect anything less of Mary. Being how special she is and very caring also. What I saw of the carvings she had done, they looked great. Bet she is hooked now.
God's blessings to her and to you for being a great friend.
