I almost burned supper because I got distracted.... a good distracted. My hubby came in with the mail and said, "Here's a box that says 'Secret Sister Mail'". I swiped it out of his hands and opened it. Oh my! The wonderful aroma of spearmint comes wafting out and my eyes see cheerful yellow flowers on stationary, note pad, emery boards and clothespins. The sweet aroma was coming from a spearmint soap...smells wonderful!!.
Then I spot the packets of seeds! Perfect timing for my garden. And, of course, again a beautiful card. I love all of it.
Thank you, Secret Sister!!!
I'll post pictures later. :)

Dear Secret Sister,
You really know how to brighten my day. This lovely package came and each present was wrapped so pretty! A beautiful new spring apron, which will be worn tomorrow, I love the pockets on this, made out of a vintage table runner. A new dish drainer quilt, which was very much needed, I have one I made a few years ago, but it isn't always dry when I need it again, I love the little bunny clothespin you attached to it, thinking I might have to steal that idea! A beautiful journal, which is just the right size to pop into my purse. And some yummy chocolates, that have survived hubby so far. You sound so busy SS with grands and great-grands, but don't they keep us young! We too attend as many events as we can of ours and it is so much fun. Happy Easter Secret Sister and Thank You for the delightful package. I can not wait to find out who my wonderful secret sister has been!

Thank you to my Secret Sister who surprised me yesterday with a box of Spring pampering! She sent a nice big exfoliating brush for the shower, a bottle of conditioning body wash (which smells heavenly), a bottle of restorative body mist (have never heard of this, but it smells great and I'm sure my body could use some restoring :) I also got two packages of bath soaks, one for stress & tension and one for aches & pains relief.....which one to use first...that is a tough one! A little package of foot lotion and another anti-stress bath soak. And, some lovely flower seeds and a really pretty yellow and white crocheted dishcloth.
Thank you so very much Secret Sister....I will be trying my goodies this morning :)
Happy Easter,
Tammy

Dear Secret Sister - Once again, I feel spoiled by you! Thank you so much for the Easter package. The kitchen towels are so cute. The Reese's eggs are too yummy - I ate half the bag the first day...(and didn't take a picture)! The yarn wrapped eggs are so sweet - did you make them??? And how VERY thoughtful of you to make each of my children an adorable Easter bunny!!! They were so excited to find their gifts in "my" box! (There's another blue one, but it's currently sleeping with one of the boys!) You are so sweet, SS, and I can't wait to find out who you are!!!
I love wool! Visit my website at www.heartfeltwool.com to see my creations! |

Sweet Secret Sister :) ! I found my Easter package from you in the mail box just now! We were gone all day Saturday and it was raining when we returned, and never checked the mail :( - but oh what a great surprise this morning! You are spoiling me so much, and I'm enjoying every minute of it :)! Already ate a peanut butter egg, the other one I'll share with my sweet hubby! I love all the pretty, Springy "Fat Quarters", can never have enough fun, colorful fabric. The book, sounds like it's "my type" of book, and oh the new magazine, can't wait to get into it, and I even have some new fabric to use on projects. The card you sent for Easter is so very special and the "tuck in" will go on my vanity mirror, reminding me of the Lord's constant love. Yesterday afternoon, I got into my sewing/craft room and did some much needed cleaning, so now I'm ready to start on a new project, right after my special trip tomorrow to spend a week with my two sisters. And, I'll have a book to read while away - Yay!
Thanks so much for all the thought and time you put into spoiling me! I really appreciate it!
Can't wait to see who my special Secret Sister is!
many thanks and hugs, Ruth

A Big Thank you to my Secret Sister.
I had a birthday this past weekend, plus Easter
the following day. She sent me a wonderful package
with lotsa goodies. A yellow flowery apron, I think will
be perfect for working in the garden, pieces of coordinating
fabric and CANDY!!! M&M's, dark chocolate my favorite,
and an M&M egg and jelly beans. As you maybe can see, I got into
the jelly beans already. I was going to wait until after I
took the picture, but I thought what a better way to show you
how much I am enjoying your gifts! (They are low calorie jelly
beans, aren't they???(LOL).
