I arrived home last night to find another wonderful package from my secret sis!! I received a perfect plaque about hope, which is my motto these days... I hope and hope. I also received a book with ideas for homemade goodies and a nice handwritten card. Thank you!! You brightened my day, again.

I received a wonderful box of gardening related items last week. I am late posting because I had a bad accident on my right hand with my kitchen blender on April 4th.
She sent me a gardening book, gloves, seeds, and the cutest package of tissues printed with lavendar and garden tool designs.
Gotta go, it even hurts to type with a pencil! I have to wear a molded cast until the middle of May so I won't be typing messages much.

I received the most wonderful package from my Secret Santa. It was so exciting to look through the really cute bag that was full of all kinds of great gifts. A tea cup and saucer,a journal,lip balm,flower seeds,melon seeds and most of all my favorite, a chicken figurine with eggs. Which I plan to put next to the really cool chicken card sent to me previously along with a very cute chicken cookie cutter. I loved it all and thank you so much for the beautiful Birthday card and Spring card with your hand written notes. It was all so perfect and makes my birthday more special. Even on such a rainy week end.
Thank you Secret Santa,

I came home today to find a package waiting for me. It was filled with many varieties of tea, a set of spring table settings and table runner for it as well. It was a wonderful surprise to come home to after a long day with my students and rainy day. You are wonderful and I am truly blessed. Thank you so much!!!!!!
hugs

Thank you to my thoughtful and clever S.S. who sent me an annv. card and "flowers". You took the hint about TX temps. correctly and I loved the idea you came up with to sub. But please feel free to send more chocolate when the temps. are cooler again! LOL Thanks again, and the card arrived on the date. You are so good at that.

I got a SS gift Woo Hoo!! Actually I got 2 packages today and both were signed S.S. I am also in the secrect sister round #6 and I am sure one of the packages are from that but I am not sure which one. So I'm posting both because both are so wonderful and I don't want to leave anyone out. One of the packages had the cutest, and I mean cutest, thing I have ever seen. It was a chicken that my S.S. and her 4 year old daughter made out of a gourd. It was sitting in a little basket with a bag of wild flower seeds. The package also had some coffee and a beautiful "Dream" coffee mug. And I am a BIG coffee drinker. The other package had a beautiful Mother's day card and "A Taste of Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul" book. It also had a packet of Rooster transfers. That will be going on a new kitchen spice rack my husband just finished for me. I have had some very worried thoughts this week (a dear friend that is having a very bad time right now) and your package (which ever one because both are so wonderful) is greatly appreciated.
Begin each morning with a song in your heart. |

A BIG thank you going out to my Secret Santa, she sent me a a nice little bag
of seeds, purple Hyacinth beans, my DH has at one time planted all kind of beans
but even he has not heard of these, looking forward to seeing them grow. Hope your
move went smoothly, and you got everything unpacked and put away. Hugs Toni |

This trip it will be fresh and wonderful.
Thank you again for the atlas, the fly swatter , the wipes, and the bug me bug spray. ALL will be going 2100 miles with me.
You are wonderful.

Yipee! I received another happy package in the mail from my secret sis. THANK YOU!!! I received two packages of flower seeds (we're gardening today, so that is perfect), two super cute Aunt Martha's Iron transfers, embroidery needles, two paterns for tote bags and button/fabric crafts, a dishcloth and pin making book, and a quilting magazine. Wow. I am spoiled!! Thank you for adding something super special to my day!

My very wonderful S.S. has done it again. My birthday card arrived on the same day as my package. I know my mail box was the envy on the street as it smelled so beautifully of lavender in the form of bath soap and salts. Also a packet of tea and several moisterizing samples. WOW, taking a long hot bath with a cup of tea is one of my favorite things. The bonus of this surprise is that she ordered from a company that utilizes such "green practices" that it almost brings tears to your eyes. Everything from the packing to wrapping.
The company is spiritbeautylongue.com in Brooklyn, NY if anyone would like to check them out.
Thank you to my thoughtful and clever secret sis, all this will help me to have a very happy (and relaxed) birthday.
Oops sorry for the misspelling: the web site should have been spiritbeautylounge.com

Tonight when I got home there was a beautiful box with butterflies all over it and in the box. . . . .the most wonderful apron ever! I love chickens and it has a chicken on each pocket, is heart shaped and the ties are long enough to tie in the back and bring back around and tie in the front which I love so I can tuck that kitchen towel in them to wipe my hands on. Thank you for making my year such a special one. I loved the card your daughter made too.I sat out on the swing in the back yard tonight with my apron on and had my supper (at midnight) in my apron. I will treasure it always.

Hello all, hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend!
Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to my secret santa,
and YES I have received both of your wonderful packages.
Our computer crashed from a nasty virus, and it took
forever to get it up & running and recover the programs.
I especially liked the farmers' market bag, and the rooster
towel and mitt were perfect for my kitchen! Did you know
I have chickens? I have Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and
Araucanas. Your notes are very sweet, and make each package
so special! One hundred thousand thank-yous to you!
Have a fabulous holiday!

My secret santa is spoiling me! For MAY, I got a lovely green glass soap
dish and gorgeous scented soap for my bday! Green is my favorite color!
And my bathroom is green - how did you know?!
Also, adorable "Britches" dish towels, a cute ladybug-topped
metal flower-shaped hook/hanger and a cupcake pincushion! Now
I have to find my needles and get started with my hemming and mending...
I always love everything she sends, she's so sweet!

I have an amazing SS! We have been out of town for my brother-in-law's funeral, and upon our return, there was a gift from my SS...a new spring apron with matching towels, hotpads, scrubby, and "trivets". Your spring surprise for me was so well timed. It brightened my mood as much as possible, given the circumstances. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I have been so busy in life that I can barely get here for a thank you, which on my part is very rude. I got a package of cards last month that I have been heavily using for my thank you etcs to my friends and family. This month, I got a book I am faithfully caring in my purse. It is a wonderful soul inspiring book that give me a spark of hope and peace in my very busy world. Thank you so much secret sister.
Happy is the man or women who works the earth!!

Thanks so much Texas SS!!! Your wonderful package arrived yesterday full of great surprises, yet again. I love my new apron (I have always had a thing for collecting cows and chickens so will enjoy wearing it so much). I am going to try and post a photo, but not sure how to do it, so keep your fingers crossed. I plan to use my sewing box for my ribbon embroidery projects. Your packages always make my day when they arrive. I usually set them aside until evening, when I have a quiet moment to open and enjoy them. Thanks again.
