Hi, Everyone,
I have an apology to make. I have my secret santa package done and ready to go and I am sorry to my secret partner (can't name here name) for the lateness. It will go out tomorrow and is all packed and ready to go. With recovery from a major foot surgery, my ole body just is not moving as quickly as I would like it to and I have not been able to get things done like I thought I would.
I, in turn, received my package last week and was so excited to get it I could hardly stand the anticipation in opening each and every one of my gifts. I took a picture, but am not sure how to add it here. Let me see -- I will try now and see what happens. Thank you so much my Secret farmgirl Santa -- I absolutely loved everything! You definitely brought a huge smile to my face and joy in my heart. I will always cherish each and every item that was sent.
Well, I wasn't able to put a picture in, so will try to explain what was sent to me. I received: A package of Shirley Temple DVDs, Two wonderful wall hangings with lots of neat words on them, a vintage glass measuring cup, A Santa Mug, a package of coffee, a wooden tag with a swan on it, a vintage wooden stamp (I think it is a stamp -- wish I could show the picture), some magnets, a vintage cloth hankie, a miniature teacup and saucer pincushion, a package of buttons, a hand-knitted dish rag, a cloth sewing kit, an a package of recipe cards. Whew! What a nice set of wonderful items!
Love,
GiGi

Thanks so much again.

I received the most wonderful package from my secret santa last week. Forgive me, but I have been traveling and just got home last night to an abundance of farm girl mail. My secret santa filled my package with so many thngs and I love each and every one of them. It was so fun to sit and unwrap them last night and they will all get put on the tree or used in my chrismas decorating. I can't wait to find out who my secret santa is because we have so much in common, and I have a story to share with her. Your wonderful long letter touched my heart in many ways and I have a story to tell you. Thank you from teh bottom of my heart Mrs. Clause.

Yipee! I received my wonderful package from my secret Mrs. Claus, Karen, in the mail yesterday. Thank you!!! What a happy surprise it was to sit down after a long day of work and busy-ness and open the wonderful items that you sent me. My camera flash recently broke so I'll try to describe my amazing gifts. I received a beautiful victorian Christmas picture, with embroidered words and stitching in a pretty frame, a handmade peace dove, yummy chocolate in a vintage santa wrapper and candy, a set of three towels, a beautiful poinsetta mug, and some fun 3D decorations. Wow, do I feel spoiled. You made my day, Karen. Did you make any of the items? They are all special to me and it will be great fun to have them out and think of my farmgirl sis this holiday season. Thanks again!
~Anne

Hi Julie,
I was your secret santa sister, and I am so happy you enjoyed your gifts. I really did have such a good time hunting for them. It's hard to know what each individual person likes, but even if you liked just half of the things, I'd be thrilled. It's just as fun (or more!) giving, than it is receiving. Although I have to admit, receiving was pretty darn fun too. Feel free to e-mail me any time. I still don't have internet at home consistently, but I'm usually able to get on every now and then. Are you getting this big storm too? The morning after I wrote your letter I woke up to a dusting of snow on the ground.
Take Care,
~Anne

Thank you to my secret sister in shinglehouse, Pa for the wonderful socks, doilys, potholders, peppermint tea, and candles, cup, and farmgirl pillow. I don't know for sure if this was for the secret santa exchange or the secret sister.

I sent my gift on the 3rd and it was delivered to her on the 7th, according to the delivery confirmation. I hope she liked it. I know it was not much in comparison of the others had received from their Secret Santas. I am sorry.

If i owe someone something let me know as I'm a mouse trying to find the cheese in the maze of life out here. So sorry.

THANK YOU GiGi58 (gayle). I love all of my goodies!! The cookbook, candy, note pads, recipe cards, milk pitcher, snow globe etc. There were lots of things in my package, and I know I am forgetting some things but I loved each and every thing in that box. You are a great Santa:)

To my secret santa pal (whom I won't disclose yet! I want her to be surprised) -- I have NOT sent my package yet, but it will go out on Monday. SO SORRY for the delay! It may be a little late for christmas, but hey, isn't it nice to get gifts when you LEAST expect them? Farmgirl sister hugs~~ Tracy
PS: I haven't received anything yet either Junebug, and I hate to tell you this, but I'm not the one you're waiting so patiently on. Hope you get your surprise soon!!! Merry Christmas ladies!!
