Pat landed herself on Santa's Naughty List because she is married to THE Buckle Man who has quite a naughty streak. She was deemed Naughty by Association. Santa was SURE that with all of the schemes that THE Buckle Man was cooking up in the garage, that some of the Naughty was getting tracked into the house. But THEN Pat and her pal Shirley aka Shirt went and cooked up a scheme of their own around Mothermark's Birthday. They scored her The Wild Wild West stamping set she had been piiiii-ning for for years, and wrangled up many stampers to send cards to put in a gigantic stagecoach box that Pat hand-crafted herself. They kept this all a surprise until the big day when the gift was hand-delivered during a lunch date. Eeeek, was da Mudder ever surprised!
Well, Santa IMMEDIATELY took her off of the Naughty List, and then PM'd Anne Ryan and said she should be Queen for the Day very soon to make up for the Naughty mistake.
See, Pat! You did it, Queen for the Day and The Nice List all in one weekend! You SO deserve your special day! Not only can you make a fantastic card but the comments you leave all of us leave us glowing for days! Thanks so much for all of the sweetness you bring to SCS...and we're sure glad to have THE Buckle Man along for the ride, too...even if HE'S still on that OTHER list SNUGS!
