Secret Sister Recieved Thread...

[BernardandMissBianca]

YES, YES, YES!! The mailman (no, mine is not as nice as some of yours), dropped the box on the counter at my store with out much ceremony this afternoon. Well, I promply forgave him for his less that jovial Holiday spirit when I saw that it was from BUFFY. You are such a sneek. Every item in the box was beautifully wrapped. (Shawna, sorry I wasn't that creative with all of your gifts!!) The first thing I saw was my absolute favorite, chocolate covered pretzels. I immediately opened them and munched while I unwrapped the rest of the gifts. Everything was perfect from the Mickey Sorcerer's Apprentice die cuts to the candles.

Here's Penny digging into the beagal bagals. She really likes you, too!

I can't say thank you enough for being such a great secret sister. I was very, very lucky.

Buffy--hope to see you at SDV Orlando next September.

Thanks again,

I'm glad you like everything! I hope you don't have the ornament, my hallmark had 1 left when I went in a few weeks ago for the kids ornaments. It was destiny!
i wish I could come to SDV but with school already in session I'm not sure if I will make it but I'm planning 2008 and 9 since those will be back in Aug. I'm trying to convince DH to let me go in 2007 but we have 2 trips planned already so keep your fingers crossed!

I am determined to get my box out today. All I have to do in seal it and address it. Yesterday was the ultimate Blonde/Senior Day I've had in awhile!
I sent my dd to choir practice, which they didn't have because of the concert last night. So I get a call from the choir director at 3:30 PM and feel like a complete idiot! Bad Mom! Called the neighbor to go back and get her. Than I was suppose to bring our neighbor's son to the concert and forgot! Than I see 2 missed calls on my cell phone at 9:00 PM, which I didn't get because I didn't feel the phone vibrate and it was in my pocket!

I am hoping that today I will be less scattered.

I got my surprise package yesterday. Guess who'll be stylin' in Missouri!?! That's right - me! I got the cutest Vera Bradley bag in my favoritest color (apple green), a big bar of chocolate (how else am I going to make it through the long cold winter nights!?!) and some cute Christmas embellishments.

Thank you so very much to my Sister, OHMom. What wonderful treasures I received over the last couple of months. I am so looking forward to our spring Sister swap (I hope we're still having one)!!

To my SS,

I know you don't know who I am but if you have guessed I sent out your package today. Be on the look out for a box from the USPS.

 

[juliegirl]

I got my very heavy and very stuffed with goodness package today!

You were far too generous! I got so many great things, I know I will leave something out.

Big stack of 12X12 patterned papers, love the fishing pattern, the dots, the elves, what a huge variety. Yummy stuff!

Embellishment kit - papers, diecuts, brads, ribbons, 3D tags. Can't wait to open and browse...tonight with a cup of coffee...

Date stamp - another item I have been eyeing at Michael's!

Stickers - vellum alpha (so pretty), Goofy puffy set, Disney stickers, bubble tiles (too cute)

"J" sticky memo pad (Megan said - 'how'd she know you never buy one for yourself?' I like to use these for package tie-ons, so buy a lot of these, but never for myself)

A card making kit for DD Megan -

Japan embellishments, and tropical fish embellished squares - love them both. DD has tropical fish in her bathroom, so I am going to mat a print we have and use these on the mat

Santa salt and pepper shakers - and I was just thinking this morning, I need some more Christmas in the kitchen!

Three yummy votives in glass holders - vanilla, cinnamon, and one more.

5 holiday scent Yankee tarts - spruce, gingerbred, mistletoe....

Adorable penguin stocking

Hershey kisses - wrapped in pink ribbon foil for Breast Cancer awareness.

Some halloween ribbon, and some Xmas ribbon - haven't seen that pattern anywhere - it says "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire"


Oh I can't think what else, I raced right upstairs to write this - but if I missed anything, it was becasue there was so much to look at and not because I didn't love it. Everything was just perfect, and this was such a fun swap, because I truly had no idea what was coming each month.

Looking forward to the spring swap -

Thanks again Nancy - I love it all.

To KAMommy,

Thank you, thank you for being my secret pal. I received your package last week, but was constantly at church everyday rehearsing for our Christmas pageant on Sat. and Sun. nights (I'm in the choir). I took the week off from work to be able to keep up with the rehearsals and came home every night after 10:30 with hubby and kids (who are also in the pageant). And my son had toe surgery on Tuesday....Okay, sob story over.

I loved everything in the previous 2 months, and I want to thank you for this last package as well! I've been spoiled.

I got:

Mickey Mouse sticky note pads
Reversible mat stack (4x6) PERFECT for pictures!
Mickey Mouse notebook
2 Mickey Mouse magnetic note pads
A pedicure set
Mickey pencils
Adhesive remover
Mrs. Fields cookie-chocolates
WDW key chain
MNSSHP Pin of Tinkerbell wearing a witch's hat in her lantern

I everything! And being a pin collector and lover of Tink, I love my pin. I want to put all my limited edition pins in a shadow box someday, and that will be going in right along with them.

Thank you again!

 

[KAMommy]

Ohana 4, I am so glad you liked everything! This has been so much fun! And I still think it is freakish that you are from the ONE city west of the Mississippi that I have ever been to. Really, what are the odds!

I hope your Christmas program went well, and I hope your son is feeling better.
