| My secret santa sent the best gift ever!! She sent a lovely quilted valentines hot pad and extra fabric. Also a yoyo maker (how did you know I adore yoyos?) A beautiful card with a bunny on it and sweet wishes for my family and my bunnies (who are doing very well). and the neatest thing is a Days of the Week embroidery patterns in the cutest design. I am so excited. I have always wanted Days of the week kitchen towels and this pattern is perfect. Thank you so much Secret Santa!! I can't wait to buy some towels and work on these. Hugs and Kisses!!! |

I received a box from my secret santa yesterday and the timing was perfect! I had just returned from the doctor's office with a "verdict" of pinched nerve in my back and was not having a good day. I LOVE the Live,Love, Laugh sign and it is hanging by my favorite chair. I chocolate caramel coffee smells wonderful as does the soap and I LOVE LOVE the little soap dish. I use to have a collection of pink depression glass but in all of our moves, it all got broke and now I have something pretty! My favorite artist is Mary E and she sent me a journal and napkins with one of her designs and recipe cards! I had just looked at buying some the day before and now I don't need to! thank you so much! I really needed that yesterday! (oh and the towel will be very much used as well) thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you Brenda for making this special , again.
I received a wonderful package today with a handmade cup, cocoa mix and homemade lip balm, which I tried and my lips didn't peel. Yeah, I am not alergic to it. Love it. The cup is so beautiful, too.
Also, I love handmade cards.
It was a great day after all.
Thank you , thank you, thank you Secret Santa.
Sincerely,
Wende

I came back late yesterday from a few days away and found my February padded envelope, from my SSister. My surprises were wonderful!! Just made a cup of alberry spice tea, to enjoy while I write this. Along with my tea, I was sent a pretty pink flower rhinstone broach (not sure if that is the correct spelling, but anyway you know what I mean), a tin of mints, a lacy christmas ornament, and a ribbon embrodery kit. I am not sure how she seems to hit it right each time, but she does. I had earlier in the day been googling about ribbon embordery etc to find out where to buy silk ribbon and there in the mail is my opportunity to try my hand at this new craft. Thanks again for all the lovely surprises. Also enjoy getting to know you a little more each month, with your tidbits.
Thanks again Joan

I'm so glad to see all the new girls interested in the Secret Santa swap!
The Secret Santa Swap starts on January 1, and runs through until Christmas. This years is 2 months in, so it would be hard for someone to start new....
Be sure to watch in the late fall for the 2011 swap!
I have emailed each of you new girls! :)

I received the sweetest package from my Secret Santa today!
I opened my package to find the prettiest heart shaped box! It looks like a decoupage box with flowers all over it. I was so thrilled to see the box, and then picked up the box to find it had something in it. (I would have been happy with just the box!)
In the box there is: a cute little forget me knot starter pot- can't wait to start these tomorrow!, chocolates!!! yum-yum! The sweetest little teacup and saucer with tiny roses around the edges and gold trim. The cup has a votive soy candle that smells wonderful! They are all wrapped up in white tulle and red and white ribbons, and will look perfect on my nightstand!
At the bottom of the box I found a beautiful lace heart, which I don't know if you know or not, but I am collecting these to use in an old linen quilt I am making.
Thank you secret santa for the wonderful package, it was a very, very long day today, and what a perfect ending to open your package!
Happy February to you too!

I received my Secret Santa gift in the mail yesterday. I was so pleased to recieve my earlier homemade Valentine card along with a lovely note and Sunflower seeds. It was a wonderful surprise to find a additional package this month from my Secret Santa. I received a nice little note pad with the saying " Dance like you have never danced before" perfect for me to take notes and putting some recipes in when I just can't find the paper! A bar of homemade soap with the fragrance of a "English Garden" Just perfect for my soap dish. But I'll wait and place it in my lingere draw to make everything smell pretty! A dainty little key chain with a faub that has a heart and the word friends on the other. It will be added to my key chain which adorns more hearts. Love hearts! And again a beautiful hand stamped card with a nice note. Yes, I am "Living Deeply" and very happy at that!
Thank you so much for your kindness.

I received my package Saturday on my way to work, and of course we were busy Saturday and I had to wait until I got home to open it. It almost killed me to wait. lol
I received the prettiest pincushion and a knitted dishcloth with Louisiana on it. Both are wonderful and I love them. I also got an initial magnet and a magnetic notepad. And my gift was wrapped in a cute yellow fabric. THANK YOU so much.

Thank you so much secret sister for the lovely picture in the frame I love the colors and I put it up in my office, it just makes me smile and I can't wait to plant the flowers if we ever get to spring, right now my garden area has a four foot drift on it maybe it will melt by June! Thank you so much.

I have been gone the past few days to a reading conference and to see my new grandson. I came home today to find a package waiting for me from my secret sister. It was a beautiful tea wallet filled with tea in my favorite color purple. It was so lovely. I can now take my tea on the go. What a wonderful and thoughtful idea. Thank you so much secret sister. I will treasure this gift and think of you every time I take tea with me on the go. How fun is that?

Oh thank you, Secret Santa, for the adorable flower shop rug, the bright green scrubby and the fun St Pat's Day card. Just what I needed to brighten my kitchen and my day! You are the best. :-)

Thank you to my secret santa for the cute St. Patrick's Day card and for the packet of seeds! I've never seen Bells of Ireland before, but I can't wait to plant them! They look like they are so pretty! The card is sitting on my bookcase, right where I can see it whenever I come to get on my computer! :)
