Thank you Susan!

Susan, I want you to know that everyone in my family really loved and appreciated getting all of the wonderful packages that you so thoughtfully put together. One of my up most favorite things you sent was the Chinese Cookbook! I truly love all of the illustrations in it.
Wendy has loved being able to open all of the boxes that came! I always waited for her to be awake from her nap to share in the opening. Lacy and Holly have also enjoyed this. Before this our second adoption I have never participated in a Secret Pal Swap. I wish I had been in on our first one, but got in our group too late.
I know we all will miss going to the door and finding a special surprise awaiting us.
I finally have the final photo to add to our blog.
Thank you so much for being a wonderful SP and now a wonderful sister/and forever friend.

Your pal,
Lesa

Jennifer is my Secret Pal!

Jennifer,

How can I thank you for the blessing that you have been to me? I have looked forward to your packages every month! It is so nice to know who you are! I love seeing the pictures of Adrienne on your wonderful website for adoptions, and it is fun to know that you picked out the darling things for our little Samantha!

I love the Panda! And the bow is just perfect, as it matches my house and it will be sitting in the living room until we start Samantha's nursery. The sweater and the ladybug items are so cute and a perfect weight for our winters.

I hope that the number of referral days picks up and that we have the opportunity to travel together as I would love to meet in person.

Again, thanks so much for the many thoughtful gifts and the encouragement that you were every month!

Love, Christine

Thank you Diane! You've been the best!

Diane, it's so great to finally find out who you are! You've been so thoughtful with all of your gifts over the past months, and what a great grand finale! I love everything! I listened to Patty Stevenson's CD on my way into work today. Talk about making a girl wanna cry! I had a knot in my throat throughout "I will", and held the tears back so I wouldn't walk into the office with my mascara streaming down my cheeks. That is such a touching song and means so much to me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You really could've just stopped there, but no, you had lots of fun stuff for Maiya too! I love the ladybug theme -- which included a creative activity tote (perfect for us creative sorts), sippy cup, and a ladybug farm! And then there's the oh so cute outfit, that will be perfect some 4th of July! And, last but not least, the crystal and silver Forever baby bracelet. I love it! That almost had me in tears last night when I first opened your package.

You've been so thoughtful, and I've found so much support in the lovely cards and sentiments you have wrote each month. I do hope we have a chance to meet some day in the near future. You will make a wonderful mommy to a very special little girl!

Thank you again for everything.
xxoo,
Susan

To Michele M. from Melissa

Michele,

You have been the greatest SP! I love the canvas "D" I just got in the mail today for Darby's room. It looks awesome in there. As soon as I opened it (and wiped away the tears...this is such an emotional time for all of us w/ our 1 year annivesaries here or coming soon) I hung it in her room. It goes great!!!!! I absolutely love it and so appreciate you taking the time to have it custom made to match her room. Katie has been at her mom's but will be home Friday and I can't wait to show her.

I thought at one point that you were my SP too, but I was only about 50% sure. That is too funny. Yes, please let me know when you come down to FL. We don't go away for the holidays since all of our families live here. I would really like the chance to meet you and Mike in person.

Thanks once again for all of your thougtful gifts. I have loved them all and really enjoyed this SP swap!

XOXO,
Melissa

Here it is...

Thanks again to my wonderful SP's Melissa & Katie. You guys did a great job every month and I will miss receiving those surprises at my door.

To Michele M. from your SP

Michele,

Your June special gift is on it's way to you. I don't know if it will state who it's from as I shipped it direct so I wanted to let you know that I am your SP. I am so sad this is coming to an end. I really enjoyed being your SP and looked forward to finding new goodies to send you each month. I must also finally confess that my daughter, Katie, was also a huge help every month and she has had so much fun with it as well. I have to give her credit where it is due. I had never heard of a SP swap until I joined this group and was really unsure of it at first, but it has been a great experience and I hope we all decide to do something else in the future.

Your SP,
Melissa

Thank You Sherry....Cynthia's SP

Hi,

I was thrilled to find out Friday night when I got home that Sherry is my secret pal. Sherry you have been a fantastic secret pal. I have enjoyed all the wonderful gifts you have sent. This month was no exception. I have wanted to get wooden letters that spell Taylor to hang over her bed. I have looked all around but never found anything that I really liked. My search is over....Sherry gave me my letters. Not just any letters. These are hand painted with colors and designs that match her room colors and bedding. Sherry's mom painted them so a special thanks go out to her. I love them and can't wait to hand them in Taylor's room. I know she will like them also. So you can all see the detail and colors of the letters I took individual pictures of them.

Thanks again Sherry for everything. You have been an awesome secret pal. I can't thank you enough.

Cynthia

Thank you to Diane's Secret Pal !!

Hi Secret Pal, Wow... I came home from a work trip to not one but TWO packages on my porch! What a wonderful surprise on a tired evening. You definitely shouldn't apologize for timing, you are a terrific secret pal. We're all busy and time flies! Anyway, back to the thank you!! April's gift brought a picture that matches perfectly to my vision of the nursery... the color and butterfly are perfect. It makes me want to start working on the room now even though i'd decided to wait a while! I love the pattern of the notecards... perfect for a quick note. The bird matches the garden theme I've got going in my dining room. And the pair of ladybugs are too cute... i can't stop playing with the windup one that does flips! May's gift is perfect too. I know my little one will love all the choices in music (what a selection!), and the travel pillow set will be so soothing during the long trip! The card is really thoughtful too! Thanks so much for everything these many months. I can't wait to find out who you are ... hopefully we'll get the chance to travel together and you'll be able to see some of the little outfits and other assorted treats in actual use :) Thanks again! Diane
