Ladies,
I am trying to keep track of who has received and who hasn’t.
As of this morning, my count says that 9 (actually) 13 ladies have yet to receive for the month of January.
it is important that you post when you receive something.
And senders please send out your item ASAP.
This is supposed to be fun. If we all don't follow through, someone will be hurt.
And remember, who you received from is not the same person who you are sending to.
If you need to drop out please let me know so I can get another person to take your place.
take care
Kathy H

Thank you secret sister for the lovely box and pink scarf. I hope it is cold again tomorrow and I will wear it to school.
To answer your questions, one of my favorite children's books was and still is "Go, Dog, Go". At the end of the book all the dogs are having a party in the top of a tree. I still enjoy looking at that picture.
I just received in the mail today two books. One is "The Book of Awesome" and the other is "Tiny Homes". I have a dream of us building a tiny house on a piece of land, somewhere.
I teach high school English, Reading, and Family and Consumer Science. We are a very small district that is why I wear so many different hats.
Thank you again, Cathy

Hey Secret Sisters...if you list that you just sent out a pkg to your
secret sister, she may get a clue to who you are. I think I wouldn't post
that you just sent one out. It isn't like other Swaps...we don't want them
to know a pkg is on its way. *wink...smile*.
Live Loved,

Dear Secret Sister,
Recieved a package today. You packaged it well.
It had to be a good 5 minutes before I got into it-couldn't find the scissors. So the anticipation was high and I wasn't disapointed.
Valentine themed of course!
A lovely frame, ATC card, a jeweled mini box and some baking utensils-heart shaped measuring spoons and cups with paper cupcake liners some were mini. Perfect for bite sized treats.
There was a yummy brownie filled cupcake recipe I found in Country that I wanted to try. Maybe if I put it on the calender I'll get them made.
And I couldn't forget the lovely fold out card. Real detailed. Loved it!
Thanks again,
Jessi Lynn |

Dear Secret Sister:
Thank you so much for my lovely birthday present. I love doing needlework and the kit is beautiful and a wonderful challenge. The words just don't seem to cover the lovely feelings I felt when I opened the package! I hope I get a picture to show up. I've been having problems getting pictues posted lately.
I wanted you to know how much I appreciated the great birthday presents and cards.
Hugs,
Vera-Ellen

It was so fun that the only thing in our mail today was a lovely little surprise from my secret sister! Thank you so much for the wonderful pin. I don't generally pick out pretty things for myself because I tend to be a bit on the too practical side and I love having a bit of sparkle!
My boys are trying to figure out why someone I don't know would just send me something and not let me know who she is. 
Thank you for giving me a grin today!

Secret Sister,
Your lovely package arrived today with the live succulent
plants in the cute valentine pale. I adore it and watered it right
away and put it near a window but it won't be in direct sunlight so
it should do very well. Can't wait to see it blossom even more but
pretty even just as it is now. What a perfect choice for the month
of February. Thanks again.
What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart .... |

| Thank you SS for the truely beautiful card. In answer to your question I love to and do garden both vegtable and flower, canning, sewing, needle point and embroider. I do read I love mysteries, don't really have favorite author. I like to try to be crafty with old discarded things like pans, buckets ect.,(junk) and give it new life, not to sell, just for me.

Thank you secret sister for my wonderful package. The magazine was great. My husband was born in April '69 so it was neat to look through. You asked which type of magazines I like. Anything really is fine. I do like the old home style magazines. I have a '49 better homes & gardens. Even some of the early 80's magazines are kind of neat to look through. The recipe book was beautiful and I can't wait to fill it with our favorite recipes for my girls. The seeds will be a beautiful addition to the garden. Thank you so much.
My February package was also mailed out on Tuesday.

When I went to the post office today there was a box of the most delicious sugar cookies I have ever eaten waiting for me. They were in the shape of hearts. Thank you secret sister. I like the way you did the recipe also. My daughter hopes to have a catering business some day and she is collecting recipes. I am going to tell her about your cookie recipe, it is definately a keeper. Cathy
