This is a very difficult post to write.  I have been putting it off for some time because good byes are always so sad.  I can't believe that it has been an entire year since I sat waiting and hoping that Memory Makers would call me.  I knew then if they did call that it would be one of the best years ever.  I can honestly say that this year did not disappoint. I have been so busy being a new mommy again that this thank you note is long over due.  I just wanted to thank everyone for their generosity, support and well wishes.  I am still overwhelmed by how kind and caring everyone was when Gabriella was born.  Beth, Katie, Patty and the rest of the MM staff were so wonderful to me.  My fellow Masters and past Masters made this year so much fun.  I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet and work with every one of you.  Thank you to all the readers who I gained so much inspiration from.  I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved reading all your comments and emails. 

Here is a look at my Master's entry.  It feels like yesterday that I packed all these layouts up with crossed fingers.  Thank you again for a wonderful year!!  I'm sending you all well wishes and warm good byes.  Love, Melissa
