Please don't give up on me!! :D I don't think this will give away who I am, but I didn't want my SS wondering what happened! :/ hugs jessie

Dear Secret Sister,
I received the two wonderful books & they are just what the doctor ordered. I'm supposed to basically do nothing for the next 4 weeks due to surgery. Now I have something to keep me occupied. Thank you. You always seem to know what I need and when and it is so appreciated.

Dear Secret Sister~ Thank you so much for my wonderful package in the mail. I love, love the book! The prayer box is so beautiful and the timing is perfect - I am waiting to hear about a ob and I use that little prayer box everyday. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!

Miss Peggy Ann,
Thank you for being such a super Secret Sister. I received the reveal package today and was tickled to death. I have just the place to hang the guardian angel picture you made me, along with your own photo. I feel like you are my guardian angel in one way or another. The 3-ingredient cookbook is very intriguing. Once I'm up and about, I will be trying some of those goodies on the DH. The note pad is all mine. I will be using it selfishly for myself.
The pretty little bag you sent me while back has come in really handy these past couple of weeks. I had to have surgery on the 13th and we live in a two story house. I would load up all of my goodies for the day into the pretty little bag to carry around rather than try to navigate the staircase several times a day. Now, it is use for an embroidery project I have going on.
If I haven't mentioned it, you have been a real blessing in my life this summer. I've been going through a few things and it seems like when everything was looking bleak, your tender mercies arrived and made me feel so much better. The devotional book has been a Godsend and so have your prayers and care. Thank you so very, very much.
By the way, where is Battle Ground, WA? I was born at Fort Lewis and have friends and family in the Sea-Tac area.
Thank you so very much for everything. I could not have asked for a better Secret Sister.

Holly ~ what fun being your Secret Sister has been. I adored getting your packagees in the mail and each one was a treat. It is very obvious that you spend lots of time and effort in finding items just for me. (I still think you live in my closet!). Thank you to you and your daughter for such wonderful exchange.

PS - I love the last package, but it is still setting on my dining room table. We have had a horrible week at our house but things should be better soon.

Thank you Jessie for being so fun to give gifts to. It was sooooo hard not to tell you in my letters that I was your SS, but I am trying very hard these days to keep secrets and not be a blabbermouth.:) Thanks again for being such a fun secret sis!

Dear Debi in Georgia,
I had a good time finding presents for you. Your initial note about what you like and collect was great. Much better than the one I provided. I carried it around with me for weeks whenever I went to a store I would have an idea about what I wanted to get. I must say the flying pig did give me pause until I went to the local toy store. LOL I hope the puppies are growing well and find good homes.
hugs to you,
Holly

Dear Debbie in Colorado,
I received the reveal package today and it was wonderful. My three year old was having a toddler attack when I wanted to open it. He calmed down right away and sat on my lap eagerly waiting for me to open the box. He knew from two boxes ago that candy could come in the box. He had turned his dirty clothes barrell upside down to reach the previous box on the top of my dresser. He ate most of the coconut candies himself and was quite upset when I gave the last piece to one of the other children. :) I did manage to hide the chocolate from his sweet tooth and he does not know any different.
When I was a child we vacationed at Cape Cod. We would buy salt water taffy when we were there. The arrival of yours from Georgia brought back good memories.
I am looking forwaard to trying some of the recipes.
The magazine you sent is on raw food. A woman in my town has a small raw food restaurant so I am eager to read about it. She had many health issues before she began eating raw food.
Our daughter is due home from 5 weeks at camp tonight. when I participated in a potholder swap Debtea sent me tea with my potholder and my daughter beat me to the cup every time. I am hoping to be able to enjoy the mint tea before she figures out I have it and guzzles. She of all the children has enjoyed my participation in the swaps. I do not mind sharing with her because she is appreciative of others efforts.
Thank you again for being a fine secret sister.
hugs to you,
Holly

Kay...I had such fun being your Secret Sister...and I do feel like God played a major roll in putting us together. I hope my little Angel Mail-Art watches over you always and reminds you that God and I care about you personally. I felt very blessed over your appreciativeness at each box I sent...and I felt like God orchestrated just the right encouragements for you. ~ I am not sure what your recent surgery was but I hope you heal quickly and feel 100% better. May everyday be a blessing for you and may God use you everyday to be a blessing to someone else.
Farmgirl Love and Hugs, Peggy

Dear Secret Sister, I can not tell you how much I appreciated your package this week. My mom was visiting and broke her hip and has had to undergo a replacement, so when I came home from the hospital on Thursday and found your package it was truely like a gift from heaven. Feeling the farmgirl love and knowing that all I had to do was ask and a virtual hug would be received. The book has been traveling to the hospital with me, the recipe cards are very much needed, the tea is just what I need when I get home and I soooo look forward to making the pattern you sent. Thank You so much and I look forward to finding out who my sweet angel is.

Hi Holly~ I am so happy your reveal package arrived and is being enjoyed by everyone. I knew the children would love the sweet water taffy as well as you. It was so fun being your secret sister, sharing with you and the children. My son is 35 so it was wonderful being a part of your children's lives the past few months. How blessed I have been to have the Perdue Family in my life, thank you all. Farmgirl Hugs Debbie

To my secret sister: if you have sent a package to me to arrive this week, it will be next Monday before I get it and respond here on MJF. We left this afternoon for vacation in Colorado and will not get home until Sunday, with all accumulated mail being delivered on Monday. Just wanted to know in case you were waiting to hear from me.

Thank you soooooo much Juli for being my secret sister! I received your package on Monday and WOW!!! What a treat! I think everything is handmade--a beautiful apron, (how did you know mine was ratty and disgusting?), dish scrubbers, dishrag, (those are all disgusting too) and lavender sachet, and absolutely beautiful embroidery tea towel of a butterfly and flowers! I love everything so much!!!
To my secret sister--your package is going out today. I've been stalled from getting to town to find a few more things I wanted, but decided to send it as is. I sure enjoyed doing this!

Sandra,
Thank you for being my secret sister. My husband said your package arrived on Monday while I was out of town. I love the beautiful cups, saucers, Christmas napkin rings and bouquet of flowers. Since I'm a vintage nut and Christmas fanatic everything was just perfect.
I would love to hear more about your tea cottage business and farm. You wrote that you have peacocks and greyhounds, that sounds like an interesting combination. I've always wanted peacocks, but I'm not sure my dogs would agree.
Thank you again for being my secret sister, I hope you have a blessed day.
~Tammy |

LADIES...many of you have not revealed yourself to your Secret Siser. It is past the Reveal Week but want you to still send out a card and gift to your SECRET SISTER. I haven't heard from mine yet either. Many of you started out strong and then petered out at the end. But don't be embarrassed your Sister still will want to Thank You for what you DID DO!
After another week has past...anybody wanting to know who HAD YOU as a SS...just email me and I will let you know.
Blessings, Peggy

I am so excited to find out who my Secret Sister is as I have not heard from her yet. Certainly hope nothing is wrong as she was such a wonderful Secret Sister and I want to thank her for all the wonderful treasures she always sent me. Hope to hear from her soon and I will pray all is well with her and her family. Every time I hear my chimes outside my door I think of you and what an angel she has been to me. Farmgirl Hugs, Debbie

Ask and you will receive:-) Hello Cathy aka Catherine L, it is wonderful to finally meet you, thank you so much for being such a fabulous Secret Sister to me. You taking the time to get to know me through my post meant a lot to me. Yes, you are so right I love fishing and I thank you so very much for the Gone Fishin' sign with the country blue paint, my favorite color, the fishing stickers, the gigantic tube of Burt's Bee body lotion which is one of my favorites and I love the lunch bag, it will carry my snacks when I go fishin' with farmgirl Marilyn. I hope we can continue to be friends and perhaps even pen pals, to me you can never have too many farmgirl pen pals. Thank you again and have a beautiful weekend. Farmgirl Hugs, Debbie
