Bess Chaney -- Christmas....

[cold n classy]

I don't normally do this but I really want to make Christmas very special for Bess this year....I'm sure we will take her to eat or something and IIFFFFF I can swing it, I may try to see if I can get her with me down at my families since they are only about 35 minutes away....I'm going to get with the Quinn's and see what all our schedules look like.....

I know times are hard and everyone is really tight with money this year -- including me --but if anyone is interested in helping her have a Merry Christmas this year by sending cards, any kind of gift or anything, please let me know. 

She likes movies, loves getting cards, loves to eat out...anything of that sort.....
We are going to get her some warm clothes tooo.....she likes warm fuzzy clothes--we usually get her a large if the shirts run big or extra large if they don't because it's easier to dress her when the shirts are a little big.  She's really been bugging the crap out of me wanting me to buy her a pair of $200 Ughsssss but I have kept her from it since they are so expensive.  Heck, I don't even have a pair for me!!!  LOL LOL 

I just thought it would be nice to make it as special as we could and she just loves hearing from the people on the board...I talked to 1Tex while at the WBR Finals and told her I wish everyone could meet her in person and realize how happy you guys make her when I read the posts to her or she gets something in the mail from someone on here that doesn't even know her! 

If anyone is interested please send me or post it here and I will respond.....

Thank you guys for everything!!!!!  Ya'll just don't have a clue how much I appreciate everything you have done as far as the prayers, support and just genuinely caring! 

Hope everyone has a great Christmas holiday!!  Please remember to count your many blessings!!!

yes u know i will make her up a xmas package..please let me know her address!!!

What size shoes does she wear? They may not be UGHs, but I usually find a really good deal on real sheepskin booties this time of year. OR maybe several us can pitch in and you can buy her a pair. Not so painful if you don't have to shoulder the cost alone... just a thought there. Shoot me her address when you find the time. I have a beautiful western fuzzy throw I bought a couple of years ago and hadn't met the right person to gift it to. Perhaps it's been waiting for Bess. ;)

Me, too!  I need her address!

[candystarbarrels]

I would love to send her something!!!

[cold n classy]

If you want to send packages, you can just send everything to me and I will make sure she gets everything all at once.....it will make one big Christmas for her! 

For anything that is bigger than a regular mailbox, you can send it to my work address at:
State Farm
2318-A Judson Road
Longview, Tx  75605
Attn:  Dina Reynolds

If it doesn't fit in the mailbox, my puppies may have a rather LARGE time opening stuff for her!!

I honestly don't know what size shoes she wears....it would have to be a try on kind of thing.....she normally wore like an 8 but I think we would have to go a 9 due to swelling in her feet....

She would LOVEEEE a warm fuzzy blanket!  I got her one last year and she kept it on her chair during the winter because she gets so cold so easy. 

Gift cards, movies, warm cuddly stuff, big sweatshirts and that type of stuff is what she likes.....

If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me at (903) 932-1800!!!!

Would Bess settle for a knockoff of Uggs? I work a Payless and we have Airwalk. I'd be more than happy to send her a pair!

[trashygirl]

It is awesome what everyone on here is doing. I also will make a package for her and bring it to you next week when I get back. Maybe I bring her something from Mexico to.
Thats awesome for BESS she will be sooooo happy.

[cold n classy]

Gobabygo -- Bess will settle for anything that will keep her warm!  LOL  She hasn't been just real hard to please....the only thing I could say is a dark colo will be nice because she has a lot of black and darker color pants.... ;o)

Yes, i agree with Bobbie....she is going to be soooooo shocked!!!!  I can't wait!!!

We have to put her van in the shop sometime this week because the heater is messed up so gotta shell some money out for that.....but we've been fortunate....nothing REAL major....

If you are sending something, just send me a pm or something before hand so I will know to be looking for it....

THANK YOU GUYS!!!

[gobabygo]

We have grey Ugg knockoffs. Do you think a 9 would be okay?

[cold n classy]

I'm thinking 9-9 1/2 just make sure they are wide.....her feet swell and we have to have something kind of lose on her......if for some reason they don't fit, I can always take them back and get a larger size....there is a Payless right down from where I work....

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 

I feel odd asking people but I know she's in a tough situation.....

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

[gobabygo]

No problem.  :) Iwork tomorrow, I see what we got.

[Gabe's Babe]

I will make sure to send her something too! Might be something simple, but I hope it will brighten her day!

[cold n classy]

Simple.....let me tell you the one thing she uses ALLLLL THE TIME and was ecstatic about!!  Bobbie Falco bought her a little $5 bag that says something like Bad Cowgirls go everywhere or something to that affect....it hangs on her chair and we use it for EVERYTHING!!!!!  We keep her water in there, straws, snacks....it's been the best thing!!!!

It's not the price, the size or anything like that!!!  Heck, a 50 cent card makes her happy!!!! 

One day I'm gonna get her out when everyone is gathered somewhere and let you guys meet her!!!!   

[cold n classy]

I know things have been in an uproar the last few days....but I wanted to say THANK YOU for the response I have received on this Christmas deal for Bess!!!  She is going to be SOOOOOOOOO excited!!  I will definitely take my camera and post some pictures so everyone can see the smile on her face!!!!

Love you guys!!!
