I'm back, Many thanks to Pegsmiles for taking over this last secret sister round while I was away due to famil obligations!
Sign ups begin now 08/06/11 and will last through 08/13/11. This round #11 of the secret sisters will on 08/15/11 and will run through 11/15/11. I do have one new rule that begins with this round of secret sisters!
To be able to participate in this round of secret sisters #11, you must have a minimum of 75 posts here on Mary Janes Farm forum. I, for the most part have hosted the secret sisters for almost three years, unfortunately some problems arise with very new ladies, this has held true for the secret sisters and also other types of swaps, especially long term swaps. I am sorry if I offend anyone with this but this is the way it has to be for now! Remember 75 posts is the minimum for signing up!
A little about the secret sisters: Once the sign ups have ended, each of you will be assigned a secret sister to correspond with and send little gifts to. This will last for 3 months. (The way I do this is I assign everyone a number and then match them up blindly).
You will receive info on your secret sister that you need, ever couple of weeks or so, send her a note, card and/or a little something. it does not have to be a large gift, just a little something.
For those of you who want to sign up for this please email me the following information that I need:
Full name:
MJF screenname:
Full mailing address:
What are your favorite things to do: (ie canning, quilting, etc)
What is your fav color:
What do you like to collect:
please feel free to add any other info you might feel pertinent to this!
My email address is suefeely@gmail.com, please send the above info there!
Also e-mail me with any questions that you may have at anytime!
Have fun with this! |

It seems like 75 is a lot to post. Does a "post" like this count? I don't feel I am adding value to the site! ;0)

Oh, Secret Sister you are wonderful!! Just picked up the mail after a few days of combining wheat and found a delightful package from you. The bath salts are going to feel wonderful and I am having a cup of your tea right now before I have to go to the field. Believe me, I will be thinking of my bath and a glass of wine all day today. Thank you for giving me a reason to smile and something to look forward to!

Thank you Secret Sister for the wonderful postcard from an Amish Community. I love anything Amish, and have been to one Amish Community in Kolona, Iowa. I have been there 3 times took a tour and everything. I read everything I can about the Amish and their wonderful way of life and I have two quilts, and homemade jellies, yum. How Blessed you are to live near one. Thank you again.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Debbie

Sue,
I have been away on vacation. No internet in the mountains!
Would I be able to sign up or am I too late? Do you still have my info or do I need to send it again?
Just let me know if I am too late and I'll just watch for the next round if I am.
