Spring Secret Sister swap Received Thread

[ddavis860]

I got my amazing package a couple of days ago, but wasn't able to open till this morning. My SS was Shawna AKA MickeyTeacher. Thank you for the really thoughtful SS gifts you have send the last few months! I have some really special, personal items that I am going to cherish for a very long time!! Shawna, you are the BEST!!! I just has to show you my last gifts...

This is where my awesome SS package came from...this is what I saw when I opened the box...

Inside I had this awesome altered paint can. You know my SS has been asking me questions for the last few months. My last question was which Disney character is my favorite...so look what she did for me...

Front:

Back:

And this is what was inside...sooo many card blanks!!! Now how cool is that? Some are even glitter paper! Are we having another card swap soon? I'm ready!!! Oh, and a bunch of my favorite candies...missing a few that DH has already stolen...

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! You made this a really fun swap!!!

I opened Wyatt's package even though he isn't home. The postman had it bent over in the mailbox and I was afraid it was broken. But it wasn't. IT was a THEY. And oh, they were so cute. From Tiggermei's DD he received an altered Castle board fold out book. This is really neat. And a totally handmade autograph book. I mean totally. She made the covers, the insides and put them together. He will love this.

The note was really cute. She signed her name and then put "girl" under it.

Thank you for all the great things he has rec'd through the whole thing.

This is Hallie. I'm glad you like it. All of it was made by hand. Mommy liked the castle so much that she made one for herself. I hope Wyatt likes the presents.Love,Hallie

Sorry for the delay in responding. Hallie got her paint can on Wednesday. She was so excited. She was THRILLED it was Eeyore. She adores him! And chocolate makes EVERYthing better.

Thank you for being a terrific Secret Brother Ryan. Hallie appreciated it all very much. She's already using her stuff. Yea!

I finally shipped my last package to my SS today. I am late on shipping, but I did have it all done before the due date. I just liked it so well that I decided to make one for me too. It should arrive on Monday I hope.

My SS is PrettyInTink and is the BEST!!!!!!!!!

I got so many goodies, I feel very spoiled you have been so generous!

I don't know the name of the first item, but it is a book that when you open it up it keeps growing, its in shades of purples and pinks. It will be perfect for Megan's upcoming dance recital, all her costumes are in purples, pinks and white.

I also got a cute summer time mini album in citrus colors.

A bunch of papers - Disney, b-day, ballet, pinks, blues, browns in lots of great patterns.

A metal frame with a snow flake charm
X-mas tag pack and rub-ons from American Traditional Designs
MM mini metal circle tabs Valentine/Love theme
K&Company Tag Pad in beautiful pastels
Jolees pumpkin embellies
Sandylion Accent and Ballet embellies

and the last thing was a "surprise" it said to pull the string, not untie, when I pulled it up came a bag of microwave popcorn. It was in an handmade envelope and a very cute idea!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Jennifer I have loved all my goodies
and don't worry about the late shipping, it was more than worth the wait!!

You are only a couple of hours away from my DM in Lynnwood, maybe we can meet up somewhere along with VickiV since you're in the same neighborhood the next time we go north.

Thanks again!!

Oh I am soo bad....Yes, DD and I received our packages awhile ago, I just havent been on to post! Thank you sooo much to AlexWyattMommy and her son for our handmade items-DD wanted to show everyone her book (I wasnt allowed to show it bc SHE wanted to show it!) And I love mine, too, I just dont know what it's called! You guys have been great Secret Swappers-we've had so much fun and have loved everything you've sent!

Thanks so much!!!

M2MRB-I have heard that album thingy called a couple different names-either accordian or exploding, I'm not sure which, but I think they are super neat!

I'm glad you like them. Yours is a really BIG matchbook album. Hope the colors work for you.
We are glad you DD likes hers. My little one had fun "customizing" it.

WOW!!!

I got the most awesome Secret Sister package today!!! My SS was ddavis860! Debbie, I sort of thought it might be you, but I wasn't sure!! The whole package was awesome! DH & I spent so much time ooh-ing and aah-ing over everything. . .and of course, I cried!!

Here's what was in the package (and I'm going to post pics just as soon as I get a chance to take them):

1. A bunch of Winnie-the-Pooh stickers, Tigger stickers, and Disney stickers which will be perfect for my album!
2. A BEAUTIFUL exploding box done in blues with little boy stickers and papers--it is gorgeous!!
3. Blue brads and brads & eyelets shaped like rattles and pacifiers--can't wait to use these!!
4. Cat notepads--I love them. . .they look like my cat!!
5. Beautiful notepads with flowers on them--they are going to work with me tomorrow, and I will have to smack anyone who touches them!!
6. "A Year of Ribbon"--rolls of ribbon for every holiday, season, and even little baby. . .I am SUCH a ribbon addict!! These are perfect, and this is the neatest idea!!

And then. . .I noticed that there was also a gift bag in the box. In that bag was the most amazing, breathtaking, terrific Winnie-the-Pooh handmade blanket for SIOLB!! I was overwhelmed by everything, but that one is when I cried!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Auntie Deb for the wonderful presents!!! I love them all so much!!

 

[ddavis860]

I'm sooo glad you liked everything!! I had a wonderful time making things for you and SIOLB! What fun for me

I bet you knew it was me because it was late right?

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I also received my last package yesterday. My SS was Lewdyan1.

I was so excited to open my package and see all the great stuff from WDW. First, Mickey snaps
Mickey stickers
Mickey Tiles
WDW Metal charms
A disney note pad (which is where I started my must not forget list last night for our upcoming trip),
and

THREE great page kits. I can not wait to use them.
There is a Mickey one (perfect for the first page of my book)
Pink FLowers Kit (perfect for DD's book)
and
Sprots Kit (which will be perfect for DS's book)

I'm so excited that there are so many new items in these page kits. Things I have wanted to try, but not wanted to buy a lot of. So I get to play and try them out with these page kits.

Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU... you are the best, Lewdyan1!
