Thank you to Debbie, my Not-so-secret-sister, for my RW&B package!! So many cute two-sided cards and embellishments.
Now the hard part will be trying to decide which side of the cards to use in my crafting. So many
possibilities, thank you, I love it!!

I certainly have gotten your wonderful packages April. I am so sorry I haven’t posted pictures (I honestly thought I had until I looked back on the post). You are such a great not so secret sister! Thank You so much, I can’t wait to read the book. I am saving it for a rainy/snowy day when I can enjoy it with multiple cups of tea. |

April sent me a beautiful love letter to Eleanor from Harold written in 1945. I felt like I was snooping into their lives.

What treasures April sent me. A family recipe that is over 100 years old and walking onion bulbs from originally from her Grandparents farm in Michigan. Along with a lovely letter sharing family history. Thank You so much April, holding onto those memories is so important. |

I received my August package today from Debbie, she sent wonderful gifts! I have lots of reading material which includes her handwritten letter. along with a couple magazines, a good book, some historical letters from WWII, and the story of Smokey Bear which will add to my collection. Debbie knows how much I love Smokey Bear. Also she sent two bundles of Moda fabric, a beautiful set of SC kitchen towels, and a hand painted heart with bells made through fair trade in India. Thank you so much Debbie for everything!!! |

My not so secret sister is a sweetheart! Last month I got a bee to hang in my laundry room! ( I painted my laundry rooms beautiful yellow with blk trim and everything I get bee related or sunflower related goes in there. ;)
Day before she sent this awesome garden package! I LOVED it and after a few hard months truly brightened my day! I adore love in a mist flowers! The card is gorgeous and my garden journal will come in so handy as I am now in charge if the pollinator garden at the Pioneer museum in Troy. Being a Master Gardner now keeps me very busy!!
So thank you Debbie K for such a sweet beautiful THOUGHTFUL gift!! |

Dear Not So Secret Sister, Julie, I received another sweet package from you, THANK YOU! Can't wait to read the book, right down my alley. The WWII genre books remind me so much of my dear Mr. Frank whom I miss so very much. I will share him with you in my next letter. The quilted tea wallet is precious and just sooooo beautiful. The tissues were not pictured, they were already in my car. Such a beautiful and thoughtful package - your letter was so heartfelt, my favorite of all. Thank you for sharing yourself with me. You are such a bright spot in this crazy world! xo
