This Secret sister swap will end with April.
Please continue sending your sister her gifts untill April.
With Aprils gift, please let her know who you are.
I am going to start an new swap for May, June, July and August. Four months only.
Please look for the new sign ups tomorrow.
khartquilt
Here is the place you will post a note and or photos of items received from your Secret Sister 2012.
On or about the 15th of each month you are required to send your secret sister a small gift or token. It can be store purchased or hand made. It can be a regifted item or something you have at home. It can be a card or note. The important thing is that you need to send something.
If you do not receive something by the end of each month, please let me know. I will try to contact your secret sister to find out what might be the problem.
Now, I completely understand that "Life" happens. If you are going to be late with mailing, just please let me know. We will work something out. I happen to have a "Stand-in Secret Sister" to help. She won't be receiving anyting, she is willing to help out if you can't send something.
Have fun ladies.

Hi Cheryl...glad you received the pkg. I soooo love the sign "Keep Calm and Eat Cupcakes" bought yours and then
went back and bought me one too. So, when we look at those and smile...we can think of each other, as we both have one now. Enjoyed so much shopping for you, praying for you and trying to uplift your months.
Blessings and Hugs,
Peggy

You are so welcome Darlene. Happy for you that you have your
computer back on, none of us like to be without them. I'm glad to
know you liked everything I sent. It was a pleasure and fun doing
that for you. Hope everyone in the next exchange enjoys it and I'm
looking forward to joining in on the fun again in the Fall.

All the work stopped here yesterday when the mailman pulled up with a package from my SS. There was excitiment, there was also saddness, knowing this would be the last I would recieve from Bea Campbell (quiltingbea). Over the past 4 months she has showered me not only with gifts and suprises but with her kind spirit that comes with each suprise and each card. I will hang my birdfeeder and watch with joy, I will wear the apron you made esp for me with pride for getting such a gift. You are a very special and caring sister I am glad to have as also a friend. Thank you so very much quiltingbea. Karla |

I recieved the most wonderful things from my ss Hummingbird Joy, She sent some beautiful Ear rings a blue sequined bag, a stocking for next Christmas with my initial on it and an Angel pin in it. She sent me some other really nice things and some flowers for cards and put one on a card she made for my birthday. Thanks Linda. I am back on my computer but still can't put pictures on it yet because that part isn't in the computer now. But at least it is working.
right, can't ask for more than that....I am now on the air at home again....
Have a blessed day.
hugs

Thank you, Secret Sister! I received your March package this last Monday. Everything is so wonderful! Just like all the packages you have sent. The book is very good. I am going to have my son read it too. The candle holders are beautiful, they brighten up my bedroom. I love writing with the different colored pens and I was running low on Thank you notes.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! |

Marilyn...Oh my goodness...you were the best Secret Sister! I am going to miss having you spoil me! lol
I couldn't believe this package yesterday!!! You will never believe the two things I was the most
whipped over (I love it all) but I went nuts for the Vintage Flour Sifter!!! And the sparkly necklace
I have hanging off of it. Wow...it was totally like Christmas here when I got your package, because
I also got a box from an MJF swap partner and my hubby was feeling...Oooohhhhh so left out. I shared
some of my chocolate with him! LOL
Thank you, Thank You, Thank You!!!! I loved your commitment and all the lovely things you sent to me.
Your heart shone through them all! You are A True Blue Farm Sister!!
Big Hugs and Love,
peggy

Received a March/April package from my Secret Sister today.
Thank you Angie from PA for the pretty framed geraniums picture,
small "simplify" sign, pretty pink and blue rose hankies and the
1959 Betty Crocker cookbook which I will have fun trying recipes
from. I truly appreciate being your "Secret Sister" for the past 4
months.

I am glad you received and enjoyed the Easter basket. I was hoping you would because I sure enjoyed putting it together.
Take care and have a blessed day!

Ladies don't forget to post if you received anything from your ss. Thanks are always appreciated plus it lets us know that you got it. My March gift was sent five weeks ago and don't know if it arrived.

Joan you've read my mind. I never received a thing from my ss and don't know if my last gift arrived to my ss as I haven't heard yet.
Many of these ladies are in every swap going on. I wish everyone could be honest but that's only in a perfect world. :/

Hey we should make a list of ladies that join swaps and then they DON'T follow thru and THEN put their names altogether and let them do their own swapping LOL. This way us ladies who LOVE swapping won't be disappointed anymore. What you all think lol.

I haven't received anything from my SS since February. I believed I posted a thank you for the book mark and card from January! I also have sent multiple packages and cards to my SS and haven't seen anything posted from her so I hope
she received the packages and that she is okay. I don't want to be a burden to anyone, but I feel that if you sign up to be a SS be sure that you have the time and energy to follow through as it is hurtful to be on the other end and not remembered or thoought of.
