Secret Pal Fall Fun

Dear Secret Pal,
Thank you for the fall goodies...the pumpkin t-shirt and socks are so cute!!! I want to just run out and find a baby to dress up!

Sofia loves the mini-markers and drawing pad. The small size is perfect for her little hands. She thinks the stuffed pony looks just like the one she rode last night at the carnival.

Thanks, too, for the pumpkin spice lotions and potions....lip balm, lotions, spray....yummy!

Happy Halloween!
Mary

Thank You Secret Pal!

Thank You Secret Pal for the super soft baby blanket, the darling board book, and the cute bib! It has been fun looking forward to our little packages. Its hard to believe we have already made it through 6 months. Thanks to your gifts it makes it quite a bit easier to wait each month.

We will try to post quickly when we receive our precious package each month!

Where in Bath Heaven !!

Thank you so much Secret Pal we got your package yesterday and I just LOVE the bath toys. I wanted to just put everything straight in the bath all ready for them but we thought we might just wiat a litte while before we do that. The ladybug brush and comb were just presious and I love all the bright colours and the bath garden, watering can, squity toys, bath storage net with the adorable lady bugs. Everything is just so wonderful. Thanks so much for making our day:)

To Our Wonderful Secret Pal

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to our Secret Pal. We received the package on Tuesday, 10/23/07, what a great surprise to come home to. We love the book "Clifford's First Halloween". We adore the socks, notepad, card, hot cocoa, and door decoration. Our newphews are going to enjoy the candy. Thank you again.

Overdue Thank You

To my wonderful secret pals, thank you for the great gifts. The books are darling and I love the bath confetti, so fun! I hear all the time about squeaky shoes from families who have already traveled to China but I now have squeaky mittens! How 'bout that? I never knew they existed. They are adorable thank you.

Karin & Steven

Thank you Secret Pal!

Thank you so much Secret Pal for the wonderful gifts! The T-shirt was so cute! I love the saying "Lock up your sons". The color is beautiful. The 3 Disney Fairies books are just great and I am sure Gabby will want to read them also. I love the handmade card with all the ladybugs. Your theme was very special and wonderful. We tend to down play Halloween around here anyway. It's not my favorite holiday. Now Christmas on the other hand we love!

Your Packages always brighten up my day! It is like receiving a ray of sunshine (I needed it today as it is gloomy and rainy).It is so nice to be thought of. I look forward to the next surprise and can't wait to see who you are at the end of 1 year.

Hugs,
Jody

Thanks Secret Pal!!

We got a special Halloween treat from our Secret Pal. Thank you for remembering Natalie! She loves the bear. The orange pumpkin candies are almost gone too. Love the little photo album for Sophie. You are the best Secret Pal. Happy Halloween to you!

I have the best pal!!!

Dear secret pal,

You are the greatest! This morning my good friend called, she was shocked when she got a box in the mail out of the blue! She had no idea that I had requested my secret pal send her my box this month. It made her day! The kids loved the books- especially the Tonka one. Benjamin was so excited she said. The treats were great too! Thanks for doing this for her, it made my "gift" so special this month to surprise her from you! (I got my little box yesterday with the treats and the book, how sweet of you to think of me too this month. The Halloween Oreos are very popular!!!)

You are such a blessing!

To Lisa and Len Vraniak's secret pal

So sorry I forgot to answer your question about blogs/websites. No, we don't have one yet. We figure we'll start one when the time to travel gets closer. In the meantime, in case you are curious, here's a picture of us last year in Greece. Can't wait until our year is up and I can find out who you are!

Cheers,
Lisa and Len

Ladybug Sighting!

A big thank you to my great Secret Pal for this cute costume and Halloween sticker book! I hope to be taking a photo of this costume again next October with my little girl smiling back at me from under her floppy, fuzzy antennae. I just realized that I forgot to include the wonderful homemade Halloween card in the above picture, darn it. I loved it, and appreciate the time you take to make your own cards - they are extra special. No tricks here, this was all a treat to find on my porch. Those Priority Mail boxes make my day, thanks again.

With Gratitude,

Terri

Thank you Secret Pal!!

Thank you so very much for our gift!! It's one of the first gifts that we have received with actual baby-related things! When I opened the bibs, I almost started to cry...:)

Thank you again! And as far as your message...until we get closer to referral, I say whatever you have up your sleeve...have at it!! The only thing I have to mention is nothing that contains cinnamon oil please. My husband is allergic to it!

Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!!

Charity got the pumpkins!!!!

First I have to apologize for taking so long. I had to go to Nashville for a conference & somewhere time got away from me. (I was able to post pictures to our blog if you want to check it out.) I LOVE the pumpkin candy basket. Seeing Hannah Grace's name makes it feel sooo real. I started tearing up when I saw it. All the boys were worried about me (they are starting to get used to my emotional outbursts!) I am so thankful you added the real pumpkins to the mix. We are in a drought here. It's been so bad, we haven't even bothered to go to the patch this year. The pumpkin theme is perfect. I love your thoughtfulness & encouragement. This has really been an excellent way to pass the time. Looking forward to next month.

Boo's your Daddy!

What a nice way to start a Saturday! Len and I were sitting on our front steps chatting with our neighbors and enjoying some green tea when the post-lady shows up with your gift. So of course we opened it right away! How much fun are these gifts??! Our neighbors were very impressed and thought it was such a nice way to pass the time. I can't wait to read the book to her and put her in cute little outfits--you are too generous and a great gift-giver! We are gearing up for Halloween--our neighborhood is crazy about it and we usually give away candy for about 3-4 hours. It turns into a roaming street party after a bit so when you run out of candy at your house you pack up and go to your neighbors where we all end up having a few drinks and some snax until the last goblin is tucked in.
Thank you again and Happy Halloween!

Thank You Secret Pal!

Secret Pal,
Thanks for the great orange and black goodies! We can't wait to use them with our new baby. It was SOOO thoughtful of you to remember Martina's birthday. She was incredibly excited to get a package wrapped especially for her. She loves the pony! We were sent a $3 off coupon from Geoffrey Giraffe at Toys R Us to use for her birthday. We went to use it today, and she just had to get little baby ponies to go with her new pony!
Thanks again!
--Amy and Martina

Dear: Secret Pal!!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts. I had to swiftly put everything away or Pingping thinks she will have the gifts. I apologize for the belated Thank you.

Since Pingping started kindergarten, I just can't get computer time anymore. It amazes me how much homework kindergarten have to do.

I will try my best to post pics.

Thank you and Happy Halloween,
Julie We

Thanks Secret Pal

Well, I was hoping to post a picture but blogger is having some type of problem tonight and it won't allow me add it. Our secret pal sent the cutest little sign that says "hugs & kisses," a very adorable stuffed bear and some really cool vintage luggage tags for our trip. Thanks so much secret pal... you're the best.

I'm sorry this was posted late. We got the package right before we went on vacation and I didn't get a chance to post prior to getting home on Sunday. We appreciate you!

Phil & Jennifer Rogers

Also... I posted our thank you for August on the yahoogroup because this hadn't started yet. Thank you so much!!!
