Thank You Secret Pal !!

Thank you so much for the delivery that made our day! My 2.5 yr old daughter was so excited to see the package! I read the card and I'm so grateful that you included my dear daughter in your wishes and thoughts. Normally when we have packages delivered, they're for her Daddy, but this time, Emily got to open the package, and she was just thrilled. Thank you so much for the "Ten Little Ladybugs" book and the CD of toddler songs.

Emily is convinced that the package was for her and her alone. But I've told her that she will have to share these gifts with her younger sister when she comes home. Emily chose not to hear that part!

Thanks again for your thoughtfulness!

Thank You Secret Pal!!

Like a dream come true

Today I was taking time for a nap, very rarely does this happen. Just as my alarm went of at 12:05 the doorbell rang. Still too groggy I didn't get to the door before the mail carrier just threw a package onto my flip flops that were just inside the door. Once I saw a box I knew what it was! Thank you secret pal for the darling collection of I Love You stories and the lavender vanilla aromatherapy collection. It is supposed to be relaxing and encourage sleep. What a fitting thig to get just as I was waking up. Maybe now I'll be taking some more naps! Thank you!

Thank you for putting a smile on my face!

Thank you so much to my wonderful Secret Pal! My parcel was in the letter box when I got home from work this afternoon (a tight fit, I must say!) I had a tear in my eye when I opened the beautiful Beatrix Potter Treasury - I loved her books when I was a kid, also my daughter and I recently saw the movie "Miss Potter" together, so it is really special. The others are also adorable - thank you so much. My children cannot wait to read them to their little sister, they have already read them to each other, and us, and the dogs... The card was lovely - so appropriate "Ever forward, But slowly" sure does sum it up! I'm so happy to have such a great SP, thank you again,

I have a great Secret Pal!!!

I know we all have wonderful secret pals, but I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to mine! I got an awesome package today! There were several small gifts in it... for each of our little ones, there was a gift- when they opened them they each got a box with a different type of fruit snack! BIG HIT with them. They enjoyed some this evening when we went a HS volleyball game. Our exchange student also got a package- it had school supplies in it which were appreciated very much! I got more schools supplies and writing pads (L also got writing pads to practice here letters on) which are all wonderful since we home school.
The last package had :to your new baby boy on it... Seeing those words were emotional for me this evening as it seems so far away before we someday bring another little one home that I find myself trying not to think about or dream about the little guy that we hope joins our family someday. Inside the package was a beautiful little blue blanket with a train on it. I love it an laid it on the shelve next to our bed to keep me reminded that someday... we'll have another little one!
Thanks you again! you made our day!

Thank-you to our secret pal for the lovely books...Lucy's Plastic Purse and Lilly's Big Day by Kevin Henkes. I read them to our girls and we really enjoyed them. Our 5 year old daughter just started Kindergarten, so she especially enjoyed Lucy's Plastic Purse.

secret pal gift rcv'd

Thanx 2 my sneaky but wonderul SP. This time it was sent from MN, but u said u had a few friends that would send the packages from everywhere! I got home from visiting my sis in Boston last night & the package was waiting 4 me - my boyfriend said it arrived on Monday but he let it so I would c it as soon as I walked up my front porch. How cute they all are - 2 'touch & feel' board books, an 'itsy bitsy spider' board book, a very cute pair of goggles with a matching pink sun hat. What a nice welcome home. Thank u very much again. Isn't this fun?!

Thank You Secret Pal (whoever it is maybe lives in Chicago?)

We received a wonderful package today. My wife, who normally can't wait to get the mail each day, slacked off until today (Tuesday) to pick up Monday's and today's mail. Lo and behold there was a package and she had a blast opening it.

First it was wrapped in cute panda bear wrapping paper, she was impressed it had been wrapped. Then, she got to take a look at the card which was only addressed to her (which is my only complaint since I signed us up for this Secret Pal thing and the Blog) and it featured an Asian girl holding up a cutout of characters made by cutting paper into the different people.

Then she discovered what was inside the package, which definitely made her day. The ladybug book mark, a lady bug note pad, I Love You Like Crazy Cakes book, and the Ten Little Ladybugs book as well. So this was a great start. I think this will make the wait much more bearable and knowing we can each support each other in a caring and creative way!

Thank you very much Secret Pal.

Charity has the BEST secret pal!!!!!

Today was a pretty tough day & then I got a visit from the UPS man. I love the books: Panda Bear, Panda Bear What do you see? and Angelina Ballerina. Secret Pal - don't worry you did great, I didn't have either one. I've actually sat down & read the "girly" one to my youngest son. He said Hannah Grace will love it, and I agree. She is going to look so cute in those hair clippies. But I wanted you to know the most exciting part, was having to unwrap everything. It was like Christmas. You must be a "southern belle." Have a great week & thanks again.
If I can figure out how, I plan on putting a photo of everything on our website.
Blessings,
Charity, Andy & the boys

Thank You

It was so great receiving my package on this rainy Monday. Thank you so much for the Crazy Cakes book. My sister found the DVD for me, but I never got the book. The hat is absolutely adorable. I can see her black hair and eyes peeking out from under it. I am sure we will get alot of use out of the CD too. The choices were great. Since this is our first child we really do not have anything. I loved all of it!!

Thanks again.

Thanks for the Invite

Amy,

Thanks for doing this...should be a lot of fun. 

Thank You Secret Pal !!

I love the wonderful books you sent: Hush, Little one, I'd be your princess and, You are special. I am going to have Pingping start reading hush little one as apart of her nightly story book reading. I know the next little one will thoroughly enjoy it as well and then she will be reading it.

The panda phone cover was an ingenious idea. In a year or so, you will have to reveal how you found it.

Thanks for the Great Gifts.
