This Secret sister swap will end with April.
Please continue sending your sister her gifts untill April.
With Aprils gift, please let her know who you are.
I am going to start an new swap for May, June, July and August. Four months only.
Please look for the new sign ups tomorrow.
khartquilt
Here is the place you will post a note and or photos of items received from your Secret Sister 2012.
On or about the 15th of each month you are required to send your secret sister a small gift or token. It can be store purchased or hand made. It can be a regifted item or something you have at home. It can be a card or note. The important thing is that you need to send something.
If you do not receive something by the end of each month, please let me know. I will try to contact your secret sister to find out what might be the problem.
Now, I completely understand that "Life" happens. If you are going to be late with mailing, just please let me know. We will work something out. I happen to have a "Stand-in Secret Sister" to help. She won't be receiving anyting, she is willing to help out if you can't send something.
Have fun ladies.

Received a very nice card from my SS today! Thank you. It cheered me up and made me realize someone is thinking of me - Must do the same for my special SS! So nice to be included.

Dear Secret Sister,
When I got home yesterday a little brown package was waiting for me.
Inside was a lovely tea cup and saucer and a little green mouse peeking
out of the cup. All wrapped in a placemat and napkin-love the print. It
actually goes with the kitchen nicely.
The kitchen is painted a sagey green. And the living room next to it is a golden yellow.
I decided the mouse looks like a Moses.
He has now found a new home on top of the T.V.
Thanks so much,
Jessi Lynn |

Oh Secret Sister...thank you so much for the Beautiful Victorian Needle Craft Book!!!
I can't wait to sit down and pour a cup of tea or coffee and really look through it.
At my quick glimpse it looks fabulous! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I also
loved the handmade bookmark...that is a treasure all by it's self...and yet I got
that fabulous book to go with it. I am blessed! But you also reminded me that my gift
for my SS is still sitting on my Craft Shelf...I bet she would like it more if I got
it out in the mail! So, thanks for the lovely reminder.
Love and Hugs,
Peggy |

I got my first suprise from my secret sister today . I was so excited when I actually ripped though the package and found the cutest black and white bunny planter. He is sitting proudly by the front door with spring flowers and a little sign saying "Every Bunny Welcome". Thank you Secret Sister |

I was suprised to find a package from my secret sister yesterday -- two beautiful handmade dishcloths! It made my day. My Grandmother used to make them for us and it reminded me of her:) Thank you secret sister!

I had such a hectic day at work yesterday! Then had to run errands and shop. I was feeling miserable and run down. Then I checked my mail and saw a package from Mary Janes Farm, I thought "I didn't order anything,did I?" Nope! It was from my secret sister! (I actually forgot that I was to get something). What an instant pick me up! She sent me a beautiful hand knitted dishcloth (way to pretty to use on dirty dishes!),a kitchen hand towel (both in a cheery yellow) and a sunflower note pad. And a note reminding that spring is just around the corner.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Just what I needed! You turned a horrible day around.
Wow, visiting Colorado for 22 years makes you honorary native. And you go to a very pretty part of the state. I'm out on the northern plains. If you don't see La Salle on your map find Greeley, my town is 3 miles south of it.
Thank you again for the lovely gift. |

Received my Secret Sister package today (we've had snow all week
so was late getting mail). My Secret Sister sent me an adorable
hummingbird plaque that says "it's the little things". I love it .
She also sent a cute list pad with butterflies, ladybugs and
flowers all around it (how did she know our kitchen pad has only
5 sheets left on it?!). Also a sweet card was tucked in that package
as well. Thanks so much Secret Sister.
What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart .... |

I haven't received anything yet from my secret sister but I'm still hopeful. Deb and karla, it's nice that you posted that you did send as I forgot to post that I sent to my ss a week ago and hope to hear that it also arrived. Guess it would help if we each post when we send and that we have received. Thanks for reminding me.

Thank you Secret Sister for the absolutely perfect flower-filled bright spring card and adorable book mark! Your card brought the gift of spring after a week of 15" of snow, 5 days of being off the grid and cold nights! Thank you!

Good morning ladies. I see that most of you have posted notes saying you have mailed and or received a gift. Later this afternoon while doing the laundry, I will do my best to tally who received and who hasent. Just remember, if you do not post here that you have received, your partner and I will not know. January will be over in a few short days. Please, please ship out or post that you have received as soon as you can.
Also, I send out a mass mailing letting you all know that I have changed my email address. The address in my profile is correct.

I received the most wonderful gift today. My secret sister lovingly sent me my favorite flavor of tea, cinnamon spice, and wonderful handmade soap, cinnamon roll. Love them both. She also made me a beautiful card. You are very talented. Thank you so much. It is cold today and you definitely warmed it up with your gift.
Thanks again. I love everything you sent me.

To my Secret Sister...I just loved your gift! The cute card and blue embrodered piece brightened my day! It will be perfect in my kitchen, just the right color. I will smile and think of you each time I see it.
Hope that you are doing well.

Thank you so much..I have been at the hospital with a great friend of mine all afternoon/evening. Her husband passed away tonight..long day but glad I was by her side. When I got home tonight checked my mail box and what a joy it was to open a package up from my secret sister. Lovely cards, tin rooster, chocolate,love sign. This cheered me up. Will post a picture tomorrow.
