Love my Secret Pal!!

Yeah, I finally figured out how to post!! I wanted to thank my secret pal for last months and this months gifts!! I love the classic pooh things. It's like you have seen Hope's room and knew exactly what to buy. My kids loved getting gifts to!! I am taking some of September's gifts with me to China. We are leaving the week of the 11th!!!

Thank you, thank you Secret Pal!!!!!!

Thank you Secret Pal - I just love the two little pink sunsuits - they are so adorable!!! And the card is so thoughtful. Thank you so much for taking the time to hand make me a beautiful card with Chinese characters on it. And I just love what you wrote. It's so special -- I can't wait to show the girls - some day - all the wonderful cards and gifts their mommy got while I was waiting for them. And speaking of the 'girls' - we did request twins - however, I know that there is only a slim chance that we will get twins. Of course - that would be my dream come true if we did. But, you don't have to buy me two of everything (that goes for my cyber shower buddies too). I only rarely buy two outfits of the same kind, color and size.

Again, thank you so much for being so sweet and thoughtful. This really does make the waiting a tiny bit better.

Woo Hoo More GOODIES!

Ok, I promise this time I will figure out how to post photos! (after the kids go to bed!) So...we came home from the lake today and stopped at the mailbox and what did I see... A QUILT SQUARE from my PALLY PAL! I was so dang excited let me tell you! then later on I went to bring in the newspaper and what did I see AGAIN! A box, on my doorstep..from who you ask???? My secret pal! Well, actually it was from her daughter which was so sweet! She made me a note and a BLANKET! So so adorable! I love it! IT is fleecy and it has strawberry shortcake and the all important Ladybugs on the one side, and the other side is red! I am going to put this out there for my secret pal, how do you make those? I think its so dang cute! I would love to make one for someone else! So, when I get the kids to bed I will be posting a photo of my bracelet, yes FINALLY! And, my square and my blanket! How spoiled am I! Thanks secret Pal, you truly are the best! (I know I know we will all think our pal is the best so not meaning to offend or challenge! :)

What a Great Secret Pal!!!!


Thank you so much for the lovely package of goodies. I love them all.
My whole family just loves the little lion! I love the way the lion and bib have similar colors. The travel bowls and snack cups are very welcome and I love the colors of the spoons and forks. The bottle brush will come in very handy, and last but not least the tiny little hair bow is adorable.
Wendy knows these items are for her baby sister Mylie, so she has been curious but hasn't played with them...YET. LOL
Thanks again, your the BEST!

I love my Secret Pal!!!!


My Secret Pal is just the best! I recieved this darling outfit and bib. You absolutely could not have pegged my taste in girls clothes any better. Truly, it is something I would have picked myself!! Also, she sent kazoos, nerds ropes, and punching balloons for my boys. Sorry, I did not get a picture of those as the boys tore into those before I could even find the camera. A huge heartful thank you from The Ryan family! Looking so forward to the months ahead. Kelly Ryan

Thank you to my Secret Pal!!!!

Thank you so much secret pal for all my scrapbooking goodies! My daughter loves the little wind chime. She wanted to get down to business and paint it as soon as I opened the package. But it was too close to naptime for her to start. It think it will be an activity for this evening! I love all the neat scrapbooking pages and little ladybugs. You read my mind on the Jolee ladybugs. I was actually thinking about getting those. :-) Thanks again! I apprecaite it!

Thank you SO much to my Secret Pal. I was super excited to get your package. I'm horrible at waiting, but it was TOTALLY worth the wait. I don't have any baby toys or bibs or anything yet, so these are very special. It makes it seem real, that I really am gonna have baby!!! Thanks again.

Thanks to my Secret Pal-Paulette

The pilgumige to the post office box can slow down my Secret Pal gift has arived save and sound. I have troubles with not having home US mail delivery and only a PO Box. But my Secret Pal got it (good job). Thanks so much for the adorable bib, it has a lady bug on it and is another reminder that I will be a Mommy someday soon. The raddles are great the frog whirls and trirls around and the butterfly rattle will be great for teathing time. This doll is so soft and I'm sure she will love it. Thanks Secret Pal, your the best.

Thank you from Julie

Thank you so much for my wonderful box of goodies. This week has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. Getting this box meant so much to me. It makes feel closer to Liam.

My kids love the airplane and puppet. Chris was trying to tell me that Liam can share the airplane with him. My dh is really into airplanes, so it is really cool. I have always wanted one of those bath puppets. But I knew that it was not on the approved list from my dh. LOL.

The chocolate is always welcome. I am going to have to share the candy with my dh. I love the book. I plan on taking the bubbles and cards with me to China. The chalk will be fun too. I really like the scrapbooking stickers. The notecard was perfect. I have always loved panda bears.
Thanks again.

Julie

Thank you Secret Pal!!



Thank you, thank you, thank you my wonderful secret pal!! I had a VERY long day yesterday...had to fly to Minnesota and back the same day, and was returning home with my typical "flying" headache! I came home and found this package in my mailbox.....it made my day so much better! You are completely awesome for including Aleah...she kept saying....is that MINE...is that DORA really MINE!! :) She loves Dora and we have always said that she kind of looks like her! :) Thank you so much for the toys and bibs for Mulan 2....I loved everything and I can't wait to have her home using all of these goodies.

Thank you to my secret pal!

You have fantastic taste in little girl clothes and shoes! I love the sundresses and the little shoes with ladybugs couldn't be any cuter. You really made my day! My 3 year old son even commented on how cute the shoes are, and my husband (who is not really into the girlie fashion thing) was excited about the gifts. His comment was, "Well, she has a pair of shoes now, so I guess this is really going to happen :)" LOL. Your gift was her first pair of shoes! Thank you so much! Kelly

Thank You Secret Pal - from Robin


OK.. I had been gone a couple weeks ago on a last minute business trip and
when I arrived home, this is what I found on my doorstep.



I promptly opened the box and found these two boxes inside.
I was all smiles and I couldn't wait to open them.
I called my DH on the phone and he came home so we could look at them together.



This is what was inside. I couldn't believe it!
A cute little outfit for summer 2008 (since that's probably
the first summer we'll have Maddy) and a beautiful "princess" tea set.
You outdid yourself Secret Pal and I absolutely LOVED
every bit of my very first gift. Thank you SOOOOO much!
ps. Sarah says there will be none of this "two" princesses in the house
so Maddy will just have to be a little Empress. :-)

Thank you to my Secret Pal


I just wanted to thank my secret pal for the wonderful "Getting Ready to Go" box! I am more than ready to go! :) We got an update yesterday, and the cute little Winnie the Pooh outfit should be a perfect fit! Thank you again!

The BEST secret pal ever!

Okay, I have to figure out how to post a photo! Anyway, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou to my awesome secret pal! I of course ripped open my gift in the van sitting at the mailbox! I am not an emotional person but I have to say this choked me up, it was a beautiful red thread bracelet that is actually red beads with silver beads! There is a tiny ladybug dangling at one end, and the silver bead in the middle is engraved with the word "forever" seriously, how great is that! Sorry guys, hands down I have the best pal ever! LOL okay, I'm sure everyone elses is great too :) As soon as I figure out the photos I will get it on here!

Thanks from the Gallant Family!


Thanks to my secret pal whoever you are... I really like the blanket it's so soft! I love the rattle and I will get lots of use out of the fridge calendar. I can't wait to wash the blanket in Ivory Baby clothes detergent and smell it! I just might have to curl up and watch some TV on my big chair with it and a cup -a- joe.
Thanks I love everything. Posted by Picasa

Thanks from Krista to her Secret Pal
















I was so excited to get home and find my first secret pal gift. I love it!! It was wrapped so beautifully that I almost couldn't open it. Almost... but I did. The ladybug outfits are adorable. I love both of them but the black one is my favorite. I'm a sucker for little girl halter tops. The cute little ladybug magnets are now on my frig and will give me a little smile every time I open the door. The gift was even more special because today I finally found out from my agency that my LID is June 14th! This was certainly a day to celebrate. Thanks again Secret Pal!
