I have made a big boo boo. A few days before Thanksgiving I receoved from my secret sister a package that contained a card, yummy tea (blackberry) that came in little silk bags, come cookies (which are long gone), a candle that was Paula Deen, and a tea towel for my fall kitchen. I love every single one of these things, somehow my secret sis seems to know me well!
Thanks, thanks and thanks again!

Oh my what a surprise I had when I went to the PO Box today! I found 2 large boxes waiting for me from my SS. Both boxes contained lovely yellow and red silk leaves that were scattered about as I went to open them, then as I began to unwrap the bubble wrap I found such lovely things. A large mug with Fall leaves on it which matched a dish towel and pot holder, Spiced Apple Cider to go in the mug, hand lotion, a Christmas door hanger, a tranquil table fountain, a vintage linen hankie with river rocks for the fountain along with batteries even! And then there was BlackCurrent jelly too! Then there was a 3 page letter from the bestest Secret Sister a gal could have!!!!
Secret Sister you are awesome and oh so thoughtful. It really made my day. THANK YOU sweet gal!!
Hugs

I hope my SS got her package! I sent it over 1 1/2 weeks ago. Does anyone know how you are contacted if it does go to the MJ farm address? I'll keep watching for her post!
I also have to report I received a package from my secret sis today.... The cutest ornaments. One was a true blue farmgirl ornament, a hen sitting on a crate with hay around her, and a silver star, plus a note pad, and some cute knee high mickey christmas socks! Thanks Secret Sis!

i have been so bad in posting-actually- embarrassed to admit something-keep reading!--i received an absolutely wonderful gift the other day- my SS knows that i love chocolate and can't have the sugar so she got me sf turtles and werthers( i love these! hadn't seen sf werthers!!!)! yummo!!!! i have had to hide them from myself!!! and a darling tybaby bear to start the Chritsmas spirit flowing--i almost cried the other day - i came home to the bear on the floor- wet--my great dane had mouthed him ( i think he smelled the already hidden chocolate) and the tag was laying nearby- however ; bear is ok--just a bit "felted' from being mouthed!!! the dogs are not used to being alone so much since i sent hubby packing--so i have to be more mindful of what i leave where!!! the dane is a sweetheart and wouldn't intentionally hurt the bear...dang i was upset!! anyhow, all is ok- and i wanted to thank my SS for her thoughtfulness - and i love her lil notes!!!!!!

Received a package from my SS yesterday. A wonderful package with a variety of cookie cutters (is there a hint here?), a winter green candle, a treat for my kitty, a set of Christmas small plates, tea and cocoa. And best of all, a picture to be displayed on my refrigerator that has been drawn by a budding artist! Thank you so much.

Oh, my....my secret sister is so wonderful to me. I received a lovely wintery tea and infuser and a sweet, tiny book. But most of all, she shared with me a recent visit to a tea room with her Mom. I absolutely love the notes she sends with the package. In fact, I picked up the box yesterday and had an absolutely frazzled day--and I knew it would be wonderful so I waited to open it until lunchtime today so I could enjoy the note that I knew would be in there. Thank you, so much, my wonderful sister. BTW, my Mom makes me feel like a child too when she gives me "that look" and I'm 49 years old! LOL

Secret Sister - You blessed me so much with a wonderful package yesterday. I can't wait to find out what special lady has been my secret sister because I want to give you a big hug!! Another amazing handmade card and the most beautiful teacup and saucer and spearmint tea from your garden brightened my day yesterday more than I could ever describe in words! Thank you so much!

My secret sister is the BEST! The other day I received a box from her with the most AWESOME embroidered flour sack tea towels and ornaments! I had to break down and tell her today that she is BUSTED, though - I have known all along it was Pam! LOL! It's funny how I found out, but it doesn't matter... I've kept it to myself all this time because I didn't want to spoil the fun! I'm going to post pictures of her needlework later tonight, but I just want to let everyone know, Pam, what a talented, thoughtful and wonderful sister you are to me! Love you dearly! Thank you so much for all the beautiful things you have sent! You're the best! Hugs - Nini

Just received my reveal gift 5 minutes ago and already I have put on the Ho Ho Ho socks and eaten some of the candy! My secret sister was Blessed in Colorado aka Debbie Fischer! What a secret sister she has been; girls you are gonna drool over this! Debbie knitted me a shawl absolutely lovely there is even an angel pin on the shoulder! I have a wedding to go to in just a couple of hours and that shawl will be keeping me warm this evening here in Buffalo! I also received 3 needlepoint kits, yes, three of them! and a wooden snowman, a Holiday tea towel, a cloth trivet about friends, probably can also be used as a coaster! and (not finished yet) a great card and note! Debbie you have been so awesome and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will call you early next week as you have given me your number!

Dear Secret Sister,
This past week has been very crazy in my household. I haven't mailed your reveal package yet...so if you don't get one by the 15th, be patient. It's on its way! I have so enjoyed you as my SS.
Love, Kathy

I wanted to share with everyone who my Secret Sister was, Debbie Horn from Indiana. Debbie is also my pen pal. She is a very special lady and friend to me, I am so Blessed and thankful she is in my life. Sue thank you so much for matching us up it was a perfect match.
I look forward to the next round as I have met some beautiful women through Secret Sister. Sue you are so special as well and I am just so thankful for you both.
Hugs, Prayers and Blessings,
Debbie |

Well Ladies, My secret sister is Jeri,young bunny, and she sent me a package crammed with goodies! Chocolate snowmen,a bath/spa set,an awesome teatowel,a tshirt and lots of little goodies to play with. Thank you so much, Jeri! I had so much fun opening the package and pulling everything out.
Oh, and she included a Christmas card of a dog driving a VW bug in the snow with a Christmas tree on top. I love it! and hung it on my fridge for all to see. It makes me smile everytime I see it.
A big hug to you Jeri and Merry Christmas.

Pam! Thank you so much for the box of goodies! I love everything! (Remembering the Halloween swap, before we even opened the box, my son said he knew he could count on you for candy, and he was right!) Everything is just so perfect - I love everything from the loaf pan to the note pad and recipe cards, to the candle, the birdhouse ornament and the mittens. But what I especially love is the lovely hand-stitched angel ornament...because YOU'RE an angel, and it will always remind me of you! I so love all the beautiful things you have made for me - gifts straight from your heart to mine! I will treasure them always, truly, truly, truly! You are a wonderful secret sister, and a blessing of a friend. Thank you for everything, and God bless you and your loved ones (that means your puppies, too!) always! Hugs and lots of love - Nini
(P.S. Pics on the way, girls - just haven't had a moment to get them on the camera and downloaded yet!)
God gave us two hands... one to help ourselves, and one to help others!
