    Default Thank you Penascodragonfly!!!!!!!

    I just don't know what to say. Apparently Penascodragonfly entered my name for a free excalibur dehyrator and I won!!!

    I have been wanting one for a long time especially since Misti (Penascodragonfly) has begun dehydrating and telling us all about it but we just didn't have the funds for one in our budget. So she did this for me!!! I am just blown away by the kindness and thoughtfulness of her actions.

    I asked DH just last week for one for Christmas since I knew he was going to have to save for a few months for one but now I am getting my Christmas present early!

    I am just in tears by the kindness everyone on Frugal Village, Sara, and Gabe has shown me. I have never 'met' such a great group of people that show such support and thoughtfulness in my life.

    Thank you Misti! I never would have expected such an act of kindness ever.

    Congrats Debbi, you deserve it! YOu know God blesses those who bless others. I suspect Penascodragonfly will be rewarded for her thoughtfulness and kindness.

    Congratulations Debbie and a big hug and thank you to Misti for doing that for you. What an act of kindness and friendship. But you are such a sweet and caring person I understand why she did it. You show so much heart to everyone and a kind word for each and every one.
    A big thank you to Misti for a big heart.
