Hi Everyone.
I desperatley need help i have been racking my brain and cant word this!

My daughter is getting baptised next weekend, and i have ordered "thankyou candles" for the guests and Godparents which have been done but i want to do an indivdual candle for my aunty her who my daughter the her bastipm gown, and i want to put a personal message on the candle just for her that says thank you and how "special" etc it is.
Do it will start

Dear Aunty Evelyn
(insert verse)
Love Maddison Grace (My daughter)

I have been thinking about it constantly and cant come up with anything i really want o make it personal, the lady making the candle (who has done a fantastic job with all the candles) was just going to put thank you for this momento that has made my day to specail - but i feel this is to impersonal - i really want the mention of her giving the gown and how generous it was etc.

I have to send her somethine by this afternoon - so PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN - i would be so appreiacte it/anything.

TIA
Nicole

I have changed a little to

A sincere thankyou i want to say
For your generous gift
on my baptism day

Then i wanted to have a couple of lines actually mentioning the gown (really like the rhyming)
Any suggestions how we could incoprate it? Def want to keep those first 3 lines though

OKay i am going to be a HUGE pain in the bottom!
Can you think of one more verse? Dont have anything that i wanna say but i feel it needs one more to finish it off! (so annoying i used to be so good at this kinda thing at school and now my head is just blank).
When i get the candles i will post a pic to show you what a wonderful job you have done!

The candle it quite tall..so i think that 3 verses will look more "even" on the layout if that makes sense??
But what you have already come up with is so great! I cant thank you enough!

Haha sorry! but THANKS!
Umm i dont really mind to tell the truth! i'll give you full creative license! haha
Just something to "finish" if off you you know what i mean.



Just saw your last bit!
Sounds great...but i think your right about it cutting of too quickly,,when i read it it feels like theres more to follow if you know what i mean?

I added the word 'so' just to make it like you know that verse is the last one? Otherwise you can take it out if it doesn't work

Otherwise jolly good!
