Thank you, thank you Secret Sister! I received the most creative handmade card and an absolutely beautiful tea linen (that's what my grandma used to call her very special linens!). You are awesome!

Okay someone told my Sweet, Sweet Secret Sister that I love Halloween as I got 2 more Halloween packages. I felt like a little girl all over again and what a wonderful feeling that is! My Secret Sister is very talented too, looks like she made me this cute ghost she decorated with a pumpkin necklace, little trick or treat bag, with a little baby ghost,banner that says October 31st, Happy Halloween with ribbons for its hair I tell you it is the sweetest thing and it is hanging in my living room for all to see. Then I got a felt Boo Bag with my favorite candy, candy corn yum and a little book of recipes, I love it all and thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, you are just so sweet. I am so Blessed to have such a special Secret Sister, you made me so happy and I thank you.
Lots of Hugs,
Debbie

I received another great package today from my Secret Sister. When I opened the box I was greeted with an amazing fragrance--there was a wreath of rosemary...heavenly! There was also a book I've been wanting to read plus some beautiful stationary set which I love. Thank you!

oh my gosh! I must have the world's best SS. I was having kind of a down day yesterday until I found a box waiting at my door. upon openting the box, there were fabric fall leaves falling everywhere! Under all those lovely leave was a homemade tote bag filled with goodies. Let me stop to say what a lovely totebag it is; and it is so 'me'. there were fall holiday cookie cutters--got my five year old all excited. there was an adorable crocheted turkey. Then there was an intoxicating specialty tea accompanied by the coup de gras--home grown honey. I fell like I hit the jackpot. I LOVE honey. There was also a lovely note from my SS and she sounds like the coolest lady. Thank you SS!!! You are truly a lovely person and I cannot wait to meet you.

I got a wonderful card from my secret sister. I've been having a rough go of it and she sent me the cutest card with a wonderful cheer up! Thank you! It totally made my day!
Ummm....I would take pictures of the package I got earlier this week but I ate a lot of it. LOL! She sent me Morivan cookies, which are my favorite! I grew up in North Carolina and we use to go to Winston Salem to the Morivan village. They always made the best cookies. I love lemon curd too and have been eating it up. The clotted cream is very interesting-I like it and the strawberry jam, my husband snagged. Ha Ha! Thank you again! You are so awesome!

Starletta, you did not spoil it. I've been checking mailing lables and any kind of clues!! so I have been on the hunt. This is so much fun. I've never done one of these before and I'm having a blast. Thank you for being so sweet and sending such wonderful things. YOu truely brighten my day. I can't tell you how much we love the book you sent. And I've been wearing my apron everyday. I just love it all. It seems that you know exactly what's going on in my head (that can be scary!!). Anyways this is so fun!!

My Secret Sister is so creative! I received the most beautiful card with Scrabble tiles on the front. My mom and I used to play Scrabble together and I carried on that tradition with my children. Thanks for bringing back great memories

Secret Sister I put a package in the mail to you today you should have it by Thursday or Friday.
Many times I have forgotten and almost sign my name or use my return address when I am sending things to my secret sister. This has just been so much fun, I hope everyone is enjoying it as much as I am.
Farm Girl Hugs,
Debbie

Secret Sister! OMGosh, I just love you!!! LOL! When I received your box this morning, I was absolutely stunned - I love the Pilgrim towels you stitched for me! They are so beautiful, there are just no words! Oh my gosh! I have been eying towels like this for a long time, never splurging - and here, you have MADE the most beautiful ones I've ever seen! I absolutely love them, and really appreciate all the time you've put into them as well as the handstitching - thank you! My son saw the look on my face, smiled and said, "That's SO cool, Mom." Believe me when I say I will treasure them always, always, always! And you won't believe this, but the handle of my favorite mug just snapped off this past weekend. I was so bummed. But here you've sent me an even nicer one! I love it's hearty size and the fruit label design - so "me" - it's my brand new favorite, especially because it came from YOU! And the teas - Yes! Love them, too - they smell so yummy! 'Can't wait to try them tonight when I'm working on my holiday gift projects! The Acorn Ornament is very special to me, too - I have loved acorns and gathered them every fall for my table ever since I was a little girl - how in the world could you have known that? AND to BOOT, it's silvery and frosted! I actually have a lot of silvery accents throughout my home! You are amazing! This will be displayed in my home year round! Thank you so, so much for everything. You made my day - and my home - very, very bright! Big smiles and warm hugs - Nini

An amazing package arrived today: coffee,dish towel,a darling little scarecrow...best of all! a handwritten note! Thankyou, Secret Sister. What a delightful surprise. I have already hung the dishtowel on my oven door. I can see it from the computer and it makes me smile! Oh, and my 9 yr old daughter had a blast popping the bubble wrap...you made us both happy.
