IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL ROUND #10 SECRET SISTERS:
WE HAVE SOME VERY NEW FARMGIRLS IN THIS ROUND AND I GOT TO THINKING THAT MAYBE THEY
REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW SECRET SISTERS WORKS. SO HERE ARE A FEW GUIDELINES FOR ALL:
1. Please try to send a gift(s) every couple of weeks not just once a month.
2. Please include a note or letter each time telling a little something about yourself (with-out giving away exactly who you are and where you are from).
3. Always send NEW items. Don't send things that you just have hanging around the house. It can actually be a re-gift item...if it is New in appearance and condition.
4. Put special thought in to your SS's likes and dislikes. Remember this isn't about purchasing things you like...but that she put down on her Secret Sister Sheet that she likes.
5. Gifts do not have to be expensive but it should always be more than just a card or a bookmark or a pencil. Remember your SS has a SS also and if she is really a good SS she is putting a lot into her gifts for someone else...so, make sure you are putting a lot into your gifts for her.
6. Above all (and I have mentioned this before) be COMMITTED! Be the Very Best Secret Sister that you can be.
7. AND HAVE FUN BEING A GOOD GIVER...as well as a happy receiver!
I hope this adds some clarification for our Newbies and also
a little refresher for those of us who have been in Secret Sisters
before.
Blessings,
~peggy

Secret Sisters...Go to Swaps and Find the Secret Sister Round 10 Thank You's and Posts.
Post all Pictures there. This was just for sign ups. I know it gets a bit confusing but
it is just easier to do it split up in two threads.

I hope by now that you have been seriously contemplating that first Special Package for your Secret Sister.
Better yet...I hope you have already dropped it off at the Post Office and it is on it's way to here. If
Not...hurry, hurry, hurry...she is seriously waiting by the mail box in eager anticipation! Don't make her
have to camp out there. :+)

Farmgirls...I have sent everyone an email telling you who your Round #10 Secret Sister is. PLEASE REMEMBER TO BE A COMMITTED SECRET SISTER! Nothing spoils the fun like flaking-out, or only sending one gift and then quiting, or starting out strong in the beginning and then fizzling out at the end. You should be sending a gift every couple of weeks. Remember this round goes from May thru July... which gives us lots of time to really spoil our new secret sister. Remember to use the Mary Jane Farm address for your Return Address (don't use your own).
If you have not heard from your Secret Sister by the end of May...PLEASE EMAIL ME.
ALSO, let me know if I some how missed contacting you with your New Secret Sister Info. I will be setting up a S.S. Round #10 Thread where you can post pictures of the gifts you receive for this round. Don't Post On The Sign-up Thread.
THANK YOU AND NOW GO AND BLESS HER SOCKS OFF!
Hugs and Smiles,
Peggy

I would like to join this swap. I am always nervous when I do these types of exchanges because I am not sure of the requirements. Is there a suggested maximum dollar amount for each gift? are they generally homemade or store bought?

Things you really love: To finishe a nice project
And anything else you would like your Secret Sister to know about
YOU: I do have pierced ears but I do not change my earrings. I live on a hill farm in Vermont. I like to build outside in the summer. I like to walk outside int he summer and take pictures. I like to collect homemade or ethnic dolls. My internet connection has been unreliable but I hope that this system that we have now will not cause me frustration when I need to go online to post a response. I like small pot pourri to make my clothes smell nice. I try not to do caffeine although a good piece of chocolate calls my name sometimes. I like mild teas. I have a hive of bees.
