Peggy,
Well after being out of town for a couple of weeks I was greeted with my SS Reveal package and LOVE it!!!!! TONS of cotton yarn for wash clothes; a pretty crochet pin; a little wooden welcome sign; a note pad/pen set; pencil holder (or to hold my knitting needles); a book on crewel work; a book on soap making; a novel and a beautiful Victorian photo album. Oh, and a tea bag for a cup of hot tea while enjoying all of my goodies.
Thank you for being such a great Secret Sister!!!!!!! You have had your plate full and never missed sending me a package. You are awesome (-:
Have a great day Farm Sister!!

Mari...glad you got your package! It was fun having you as my Secret Sister. 
I received your Sweet thank you note in the mail today also. Thank You! I did have a lot on my plate but buying things for you was a bright spot each month!!! Got me through a lot!
Wanted you to know that the Crocheted Floral Pin I ordered from another Farm Sister (for you). Her name is Bunny Henningsen and she lives in The Dalles Oregon. She is a Quilter but also makes beautiful crocheted flowers. The look great on jackets, purses, hats or just
for home decore. She hangs out on MJF On The Porch and Farmgirls
over 50. Wanted you to know incase you would like to check out her
work further. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. 
Hope the rest of your Summer is Lovely! Have fun making some dishcloths this fall! Think of me when you do. LOL
blessings and hugs,
peggy

Marlee thank you!
I have never had a smash book before! I used to do the same things with a composition book before such things were thought of, but now I get to do it in such style!! I love the helpful bits to use with it too - the washi tape, pen and cut outs.
I've received so many compliments on the scarf already too. It's so soft and lovely. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for all of the thoughtful gifts!! I've really enjoyed having you for a secret sister!

Dear Blessed in Colorado - Debbie, As we were leaving for the beach, Dave brought in a package from you! So it rode all the way to Panama City Beach and I opened it last night :) ! thank you so much for all the wonderful goodies from Colorado, one of my favorite states! Our "kids" were statiioned at Ft Carson for a little less than a year and we were able to visit them twice! Saw a lot of your beautiful part of the county, and totally understand why you decided to stay put :)! We went through your town on our way to Eleven Mile Canyon - gorgeous. When I get home I'll take a photo of all the goodies and officially "Thank You"! you have been a wonderful Secret Sister, and I hope to continue our friendship.
Many thanks and hugs!

Ok ladies, I see some of you have received your LAST package with your senders name.
So I have a little explaining.....
...A few of you complained that you had not received a package. A few of you never responded to my emails inquiring about sending a package. (Yet I seen your posts on other threads) So...I did have a few special secret sisters help me send out packages to those that were not receiving. And I too also sent out a package or three. If you do not receive a name in your last package, it is because you special secret sister wished to remain anonymous.
I hope everyone had fun with this swap. I don't think I will be hosting another one for a while. It is a lot of work. I do have a lot of things on my plate right now. Very busy at work and life issues at home. And sometimes being in front of the computer is the last place I what to be when I get home from work.
I apologize to those of you that did not receive anything at all. If I had the time and money, I would have sent you something too. But with that said, I am sure there are some of you that did not say anything about not receiving. Yet you sent a package every month as you had promised. And I thank you ever so much.
I truly understand that life happens. But what I don't understand is why those of you that didn't send anything couldn't have just dropped me a quick email letting me know that you weren't able to fulfill your obligation. I tried my best to make up for it. And it’s fine. No big deal. No hard feeling. No explanations needed now. I had a few wonderful special secret sisters lend a hand.
Take care everyone. Summer is almost over. Enjoy the warm weather while you can. Before you know it it will be 20 degrees with ice and snow.

Hi Fran H. - I sent out my last SS package to you. I had a tracking number for it and said it was delivered a while ago. Hopefully you did receive it. Obviously if you didn't receive it, you know now that I was your SS

I apologize I was one of the few that did not respond :( sometimes life gets out of control. I sent an email and a note in my last package apologizing and I did recieve a response back from my SS. Thank you so much for being understanding. I would also like to thank Beachy Mom who sent something to her when I was unable to. I am very thankful for the "helpers" who are able to step in when needed. After this divorce I have realized there are a lot of things important in life and I need to figure out what is important to me and my son. Thanks again to all involved.

Im sorry to hear that you will not be doing it again, but tottaly understand, hos life gets in the way.. Than you so much for al you have done to make sure everyone had a good experience, you did all you could..

Now that we have revealed ourselves I am wondering if my last two SS packages ever made it to my SS. Beth Jones, did you receive July and August boxes?? Summer is such a busy time but I would hate for you to think you were forgotten.
Kathy, thank you for all of your hard work. Coordinating so many women in a 'secret' swap is a challenge!!!!!! It does seem as if the majority of women really enjoyed themselves (-:
Have a wonderful Summer Farm Sisters, we are soon approaching sweater weather.
Have a great day Farm Sister!!

I got my reveal package from my SS. A kit to make a teddy bear and a great book. I read the book already and it was amazing. Thank you Elizabeth. It was amusing to know I was getting packages from another Elizabeth. She knows me so well. Glad to hear you got a new job. Hope it goes well.

Kathy...thank you for all your hard work. And I do know how hard it is!!! Not something I would want to
do again myself as it just broke my heart that sooooooo many gals don't follow through. Why sign up...if
you aren't going to be committed??? I will never understand that. In this round, I packed and moved,
I had a one year old Granddaughter come down with a rare Disease and had to go back and forth to Seattle to help
her parents, while packing to move and then my little Sister in Spokane died at age 57. YES, LIFE HAPPENS...but I did not
miss one month of sending to my SS. I might not have always been on time...but even though my plate was
full...I stayed committed to my obligations. I am sorry, but I am not very sympathetic to people's excuses.
KATHY...THANK YOU...FOR ALL YOU DID TO TRY AND SEE SOOOO MANY GOT SOMETHING! That was so sweet of you to do that!!!
Now, go and take a much needed rest and enjoy the rest of your summer. You did a great JOB! I am sorry others made it so Stressful
for you. You handled it well however.
blessings,
Peggy

Yes It can be done and followed through one way or another even if it is just a beautiful card to show you are thinking about your person, and a reply on the computer that you received it to show thanks for what ever you received. Courtesy does wonders. I have enjoyed all my swaps and it hasn't always been easy but I do try to comply with what ever the rules are, I just enjoy all of them and all of our sisters. I want to thank you for hosting you did a wonderful job.
Thanks again
hugs
Darlene
