I received my package from my "Secret Santa". It was so beautiful.So full of goodies. "God Allows U-Turns" am loving that book. Hung the birdhouse/daisy plaque up. You have no idea how much I love handmade dishcloths. And you touched my crafter heart with the scrapbookking supplies and handmade envelopes. Thank You! Thank You!

| I've grabbed a notepad and am taking notes! I absolutely LOVE buying for my MJF Secret Sister! I pick items carefully, things that I believe she'd love, and imagine the look on her face as she opens each package. You ladies have given me some great ideas..... and I'm writing them down for my future shopping trips! Keep blessing your Secret Sister everyone. Nini, this was a wonderful idea! |

I'm not sure whether this beautiful card that arrived today came from my Secret Sister in the other swap or from my Secret Santa in this swap... It said it was from my "Secret Sister," but the return address was mine as recommended in the "Secret Santa" Swap... So, please forgive me - I just don't know which swap to post in! LOL!! I really love the herb seeds you sent - thank you SO much! I've been planning my garden for the past couple of weeks and the dill, basil AND cilantro were all on my list! Thank you SO much! It was like a breath of spring opening your card! Now I can't wait to get digging! Hugs - Nini

So sorry I didn't get on here earlier. On Wednesday I got a wonderful package from my Secret Santa that had the prettiest tea cup and saucer in it. Plus it is my favorite color of green! Along with it is an amazing smelling bag of tea, which smells too yummy to use right now. Will have to wait until we get our next cold storm and I am curled under a blanket! Plus there were these little candies, that I had never had/seen before...Ginger Chews!!! YUM!!! I am slowly savoring those little bites of heaven!!
Thank you so much Secret Santa/Sister!! What a great package.

Thank you, Secret Santa, for the wonderful gift of seeds! I love that you'll be planting them, too! I love the acorn squash, especially - that was on my "new to try this year" list - how did you know?! And thank you also for solving the mystery - now I know it was you who sent the last gift, too! :) 'Hope you're enjoying some spring-like weather! Bet you're excited as I am to get these seeds started! I'm headed out this weekend to buy the ingredients for MJ's potting soil so I can get started! Thanks for a wonderful harbinger of spring! Hugs - Nini

I received a wonderful box of surprises from my Secret Santa. Don't know for sure where to start.
Beaded necklaces and seashell necklaces. Wonderful soft Spring colors and turquoise. Then seashells-very tiny little shells. One of them she made 3 strands of shells and then they go thru one bigger shell-nice.
Hand colors papers-all kinds of papers with violets, blues, pinks with metallic highlights. Some are even papers from a phone book. I never thought to color papers-especially pages from books. I have to think of a project for those. Mailart or ATCs maybe.
Hearts tissue paper-nice for packing boxes that go out. Use alot of that.
Ribbons-a spool with 6 different ribbons, lots of choices. And paper ribbon 3 spools different widths. Another interesting thing for using on ATCs or mailart.
scentsy-lilac, my favorite and violet. I like that better than the plain lilac, adds a sweetness to the lilac.
Bookmark-with a photo of a stack of candy bars, think it is 3 musketeers-that will be hard to use without being hungry.
Stickers-I like stickers, these are St Patrick's stickers. I had the last few cards go out today and used them on those. Still have some left for next year.
Goat milk soaps and lotion. Lip balm which I can use with this winter that seems to never go away.
The smell when I opened the box was delightful. What a wonderful surprise and box such a box of goodies. THANK YOU SECRET SANTA!! I will enjoy it all. What fun.

I received a wonderful box of surprises from a very special Secret Santa Sister who stepped in for Country Lisa who was my original sister. First of all, thank you for the package that was absolutely full to the seams with wonderful thoughts and things and secondly, thank you so much for stepping in to think of me while we all are giving thanks for God's answer to our prayers for Lisa. You are very kind and generous and I feel so blessed. Thank you

Thanks again secret Santa sis love getting your letters and updates they are so fun to read. Recently got the seeds they are perfect and I havent bought any Shasta Daisies yet. Did go and purchase all the seeds for starting end of last week. Havent bought that many seeds ever before but we are trying to grow for ourselves and farmers market. Im excited to start seeing green little things poking their heads up. This is always hard for me as patience is not my strongest suite. Thanks again for the wonderful gifts.

I received lots of great books from my secret santa! I look forward to looking at them in more detail, as I just skimmed them in my excitement. I even received a Mary Jane book I didn't own yet. 
Sorry for my delay in posting - I actually received the package last week, but then had to go out of town.
Thanks, Secret Santa Sister! |

Ohhh! TEEEAAAAA!!! Thank you, Secret Santa! You made my whole day! Yep - that's me, all right...but oh, how things change over the years! DH's head is clean shaven bald and shinier than a cueball on top and I'm a lot "healthier" looking nowadays. ;) We're still in love, though; we still make each other laugh - and that's a wonderful thing! By the way - you send the most adorable cards! And I love the envelope that your last one arrived in, too - very cool, very different! I like your style, sister! :) I really enjoy your letters, too! Have a great week! Thank you again for thinking of me - I love tea!!! Hugs - Nini
