Thank you to Julie's Secret Pal

Thank you so much for the awesome gifts. You are the best. Yesterday was the best day to receive your gifts. I had been moping all day. I love the pedicure kit. I have already used it. The boys loved their cars. Sarah was so excited to get her pony tail holders. She kept screaming, "I love them, I love them." Over and over and over again. She made me put her hair up with one last night. She loves getting girly things. The summer clothes for Liam are perfect. Thanks again.

Julie

Thanks ;O) To Deb Howatt-Gallant's SP

Thank you Secret Pal for the adorable little Gymboree outfit! One thing is for sure you won't see any other little girls in our town with this outfit! We have very few places to shop for nice clothing here on the island so you are never suprised to pass yourself on the street. I love the Asian floral theme! Thank You!! ;o)
PS. I love the little notes you send along too!

March Goodies from Robin's Secret Pal

Well, my secret pal has done it again... this month she chose Ladybugs as her theme. I love all the cool stuff you can find with ladybugs on them. This little story book was so cute and I know I will enjoy reading it to Maddy one day. (I also love that you wrote inside the cover) My husband loved the ladybug yo-yo and thought the blankie was extra nice. the shoes/slippers are way to cool too. We love it all and I love getting my package each and every month. Helps to pass away the months. Thank you again Secret Pal.. you are just AWESOME!

Happy Spring!!!

Dear Secret pal,

THANK YOU SO MUCH for these wonderful gifts! They are amazing! I LOVE the poncho! And this gift is even more special since you made it! You have such talent. The pink jumper with the ivory shirt are so cute and so feminine. I cannot wait to see my little girl wearing it!!! I also love the cards and the dishes set you have sent! You really spoiled us!!! Let me say, you have such wonderful taste! It's like you know exactly my taste! Thank you so much for these wonderful gifts. They really help with this ever lasting wait!

Your friend,

Anik,XXX

Thanks to Kelly Monnin's secret pal!

With gifts like these, I need to stop putting off decorating the nursery and get started! My wonderful secret pal sent the cutest 3 picture frame and pink photo album! It's so exciting to see what you send each month because I really love all of it! As always, thank you so much! Your taste is perfect!

Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into choosing the perfect gifts each month!

Kelly

P.S. We enjoyed our visit to your state! I'm so jealous you already have spring. We're still waiting. We average 3 inches of snow in March -- ugh. Although, I have to admit, the public service ads about rattlesnake hunting licenses really freaked out someone like me with a major snake phobia :)! That's one perk of living in a cold place like this -- not many snakes!

Thanks from Krista G

I mentioned this on my own blog but just realized I forgot to post it over here. This was my Secret Pal gift this month and I must say it's my favorite so far!

I love love love love it!!

I'm a sucker for personalized things and adore anything with my girl's name on it. Plus these are my absolute favorite colors.... the combination of pink and green together. Coincidentally, I was just looking at this ladybug line at the Gymboree website the day before this package arrived in the mail. How cool is that? It's like my Secret Pal can see inside my head or something! Thanks again for the wonderful gifts. You're the best Secret Pal ever! I can't wait for Mia to wear this someday.

Cuteness Galore at Lorrin's House

Hello Secret Pal! Thank you so much for the wonderful March gifts. I especially love the ladybug blanket... it feels so soft and will be perfect for our trip to China to adopt Bekah Bei (yes, we finally decided on a name!). Bei means seashell in Mandarin, but it connotes a meaning of "darling/ treasure" due to a play on words. So we are totally cheesy, giving our daughter's rhyming names: Abby Mei and Bekah Bei. On our trip, we also plan to take those precious booties, which I absolutely adore! I really appreciate how you selected a scrapbook and a brag book that match our nursery theme; you are so thoughtful! Abby Mei is thrilled with her first ever Barbie doll, especially since the doll is "wearing a New Year shirt, Momma." Your packages always bring a smile and help ease the length of this wait. Nine months down, hopefully only nine more to go! Thank so much.
:) Lorrin

SP - Debra Young

I just wanted to drop a quick thank you to my awesome SP. I would take a picture of C and Ruby's matching "Sassy Duck" T and onsie, the three cutie Duckie board books (I lurve me some books), and a copy of "Raising Adopted Children," but the camera is tucked away for my trip to Texas!

Thank you SP, you know me so well and are so, so kind.

Debra

Carla's SP

Wow - sorry guys - but my sp is THE BEST!! She is wonderful and thinks of everyone in the family. The boys scarfed their candy and I hid mine from my hubby!!! Thank you so much for everything. The baby proofing items are great! I love the links and the cup and little T will enjoy the new toy!! The little bowl will be ideal to put cherrios in. You are awesome!

to beri's secret pal

thank you, thank you secret pal. the outfit you sent could not be more perfect. i love the colors and the fact that there's no pink in it! you have wonderful taste!!
also a big thanks for the fabric squares. heck no, i'm no where near done with the quilt. in fact, i don't even have all the fabric washed and sorted yet. i know, i'm bad. what can i say...i'm really not a sewer so i'm waiting for help in the form of my mother in law.
you asked in your card about our vietnam adoption. it's going well, but we are getting oh so impatient. we have a referral for a beautiful little girl who we want desperatly to hold and love, but we're still waiting for travel approval. she is a very petite little thing at 4.5 months and we are so overjoyed! our delay in travel is due to a paperwork glitch when our doctor's office stamping our medical stuff with 2006 instead of 2007. talk about the ultimate "oops". anyway, things are VERY hectic around our house getting the nursery done and starting to pack for the unknown. it's a strange feeling getting ready to go meet our daughter, but one we are enjoying.
thanks again for everything!
ps. sorry about the picture being cut off. i'm having trouble getting blogger to load the whole thing.

Paulette's Secret Pal/March

Secret Pal you are the best I absolutely love the little spring outfit. The colors are beautiful and the little frog buttons and little friends on the front are so cutie. The TaGgies Book is a great idea and I love that it was made and designed by an early childhood educator. I will always remember my brother rubbing the satin end of his blanket between his fingers as he sucked his thumb. I can’t wait for Annalise to have this book to comfort her to sleep. Thanks for the wonderful March you make this wait so special. I wish you and your family a great Easter Time.

God Bless
Paulette

Kelly Ryan's Secret Pal

I am so sorry, there will be no picture this month. My camera is in need of repair. Nontheless, my SECRET PAL ROCKS!! She spoils me every month. This month I got lots of ladybug stuff! A great ladybug wind flag for my garden, ladybug pagemarkers, a package of adorable onesies (some with ladybugs), a way cute little denim skirt with a cute top with ladybugs, and a darling pair of pink pants with tulip pockets! I LOVE IT ALL! And, as usual she spoiled my boys too. Thank you soo much for including them. They love their Spiderman guys! I really do love eveerything you send and I appreciate you so much! God Bless, Kelly Ryan

Sherry's February SP gifts!!!!!!

Thank you SP for the box of goodies! Of course I love everything. But, I must say that my favorite is the butterfly painting. It's adorable!!!! And will go perfect in the girls room - once I get it finished. It's currently hanging on a nail that was already in the room. Thank you so much for you thoughtfulness and all the wonderful gifts. Heck I even got soup mixes - how great is that. I haven't made them yet - they are still in the babies room. :)

Hugs,
Sherry

To Michele's Secret Pal,

Thank you for the March Gift that arrived yesterday. I love the ladybug outfit! Kaytlin finally has hair long enough for "pretties", and she loves for me to do her hair in pony tails. She was quite excited to see the rick-rack bows. The outfit fits her quite nicely, and I am sure she will wear it throughout the summer. I love that the bloomers go on over her orthotics with no struggle! They are perfect!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful gift!

Michele

PS. She really isn't as dirty as she looks...she has only had her casts off for four days and her legs look like it! LOL

Michele S's Secret Pal

To My Wonderful Secret Pal,

Your box arrived yesterday, what a treat.

The Movie Night theme for February is a huge hit with the the entire family! We did not have Mulan II, so the kids were thrilled. We're going to have a "family movie night" tonight and watch it all together. Kaytlin loves her Mulan doll! I hadn't been able to find one yet.

You have sent me the mose delicious snacks! The Chocolate Turtle Chex mix is wonderful! I couldn't resist and opened it last night for a "sneak peak". Yummy! And, since it is Chex Cereal...I figure I can count it as a "healthy" snack! :) The kids love the mini bags of popcorn. I usually let the older two each have their own bag, they feel so grown up then!

Thanks for giving us a good excuse to sit down all together and have a fun evening. With Kaytlin's surgery and the complications that came with it, we haven't done much of that lately...and we need to!

Thanks again,

Michele
