I received my secret sister reveal package yesterday and what a package it was! Ruth has been my secret sister these last 3 months and I have been so blessed with her kindness, generosity and talent. In my final package there were pretty flower seeds, gardening gloves, a little bird house plant stake, a beautiful glass calla lily necklace, a gorgeous garden journal, a cute, cute tote with birds on it, licorice for a treat and the most awesomist (I know its not a word, but it should be :) plant stake she made from an old bottle for a rod or dowel, a small plate, an old candle holder with a marble in the center. It looks just like a flower and it will have a place of honor in my peony garden. Thank You Ruth does not seem enough for all the happy days you have given me with your packages, notes, postcards and magazine subscription, you truly are an amazing secret sister.

Debbie and Joan I can't thank you enough for being 2 of the greatest hostesses. Thank You for all the hard work and time you put into this swap. I so hope we will continue to have it.
Many Hugs
Julie

I received my lovely box from my SS a few weeks ago but as we were dealing with a birth and other life changing things I wasn't able to come on and say thank you. So I'll say it now, THANK YOU! I love the beautiful beaded bracelet. You have SO much talent! I loved everything in it! God bless you. I remember thinking how much a blessing it was to come home and find that box after having such a hideous day! Thank you!

To my SS, Wendy, I wanted so much to get your box to you earlier but our finances hit a turn and we had family issues piling up. I don't know if you got it yet but it was mailed out last week. I pray that you enjoy it.

Debbie, I know how busy you've been. I was wondering if you were able to convey that message to my SS?

Julie,
You are the greatest. I got home to find this wonderful package I love the entire gift. These potholders are great I love them and the towel and those place mats. I love everything. Thank you so much again for being my ss. You have been very thoughtful and I know how busy you are this time of year. Like you I want to dig in the dirt. Happy planting. Would love to meet you some day. Thank you again for all the wonderful surprises you have sent me.

Thank you so much for my lovely gift box Kat!!! The little sunflower is going into a special pot dedicated to my first and only granddaughter, Sally Victoria! The beads will be put to use post haste and the gloves are being used this weekend! Thank you for your kind and generous spirit!

Sweet Peggy, What a wonderful surprise I received when we got home today. Your "reveal" package. I never looked at the boxes (post mark) when they came because I didn't want to have any idea who they might be from, so I was totally blown away :)!
I am a tea type of gal, so you really nailed this one, as well as all the others. You do know me well, sweet lady!
I love the two tea cups & saucers w/little spoons. (On the photo, I took photos of both cups facing different directions.) Yummy Tea to put in the cups. Love the geranium napkins (like you I love the color red). The cutest green polka dot dress note pad w/pen - almost to cute to use, but I will. Sweet shopping bag with Butterflies, that say "Spring"! Will go shopping with me this weekend :) A lovely Victoria Tea Book ( a quick look, there are lots of recipes and ideas), a neat Stitch/Craft magazine, can't wait to get into that. A Beth Moore Book (love her). Then a Beautiful note telling me you were my Secret Sister. And I will add a very, very special Secret Sister.
Thank you from the bottom of my little heart, you are a very special lady and friend. You sure know how to spoil your Secret Sister, and I was the blessed gal being spoiled :).
love you,
Ruthie

Dearest Sherry (Sweetea59) -
My package came in the mail yesterday and I wasn't home to enjoy it until today. WOWZA, lady! You sure know how to spoil a gal! I love how thoughtful each and every one of your gifts have been, and this was no different. I loved reading about you and your family, and wish you all the best. I hope we're swap partners in a future swap as well - I'd love to spoil you like you have me!
Anyway, onto the goodies. :) I got several packages of seeds (basil, squash, radish, moonflower, and forget me not) that I can't wait to get in the dirt...only a week away now from our frost-free date, woohoo! Also a beautiful, vibrant pair of garden gloves that are almost too pretty to get dirty! The cutest little flower shaped watering spout. Notecards, paper, and a beautiful journal. A package of napkins that will look great next to the cup of watermelon peach mango tea and package of blueberry scones mix (I'll have to invite girlfriends to enjoy with me!), a little wall plaque that says "Discover the small joys tucked in the corners of each day," which is a beautiful statement. A flour sack towel with a bright and cheery design. A super cute kleenex pouch cover in a pretty pink print. And a lovely skein of merino yarn that I'm already forming ideas about what it will become. Oh, THANK YOU!!!
You are so very sweet and thoughtful. I am blessed to have had you as my Secret Sister! Sending a big ole' Hoosier Hug from Indiana!!!

Oh Peggy I would just love to have a cup of tea, or two with you. I almost feel like we are neighbors, but there is a whole country in between us! Dave and I are heading out West the end of May, but won't make it all the way to you :( . We are going to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons. Plan to be gone for two weeks. We will fly to Denver and travel as much as time will allow. Have so much to see, lots on my "bucket list" :-)
You were an awesome swap partner :-) . Thanks again for everything.
Many hugs,
Ruthie

Ruthie...your plans sound like so much fun!!! Hope you have the best time ever and get to cross off
many of your Bucket List Wants. The thing I love about our Bucket lists is that we can just keep
adding to them...as time allows.
Enjoy yourself and do everything you can do in that two week period. Life is too short not to Have Fun While You Can!
Love and Big Big Hugs,
Peggy

Debra, I am so glad that you liked the things I sent, I did not make the purse. I think I forgot to put my farmgirl name on my card I am Mountain mama, I think I forgot to put that on your card. Hope you are feeling better. I have enjoyed sending you little things. Hope to have you again as a partner in a swap. Enjoy your summer. I have been on vacation and was afraid your gifts would be late.
