Thank You Anik


Anik

Thank you so much for all of the Secret Pal gifts you sent to us, they have all been fantastic and we will treasure them for a long time to come. I will be putting an album together with all the cards and some photos to remember you by.

The swim and sun gifts are great and we can’t wait to get a chance to use them.

Thanks

We finally sold our house after a year and found a lovley home, that we can't wait to call it our home. Everything happened so fast we close on Aug. 20th. We are busy packing and we have to stay with my in-laws for a few weeks (not bad) and then I can not wait to start painting and decorating our daughters room.
Yes, I do hope that things speed up for us.
Take Care,

Good Morning Secret Pal,
We did recieve our May gift just before leaving for vacation, I am sorry we didn't have a chance to say thank you before leaving.
The Busy Bee drum set is great! I really love it, that is gonna be so much fun! Maybe our baby is gonna be a musician, we don't have anything like that. Its perfect!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You,

If we don't recieve June's gift this week, we will be on vacation until mid July so there will be another delay in posting a thank you note.

I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July week.
Michelle

To Donna's secret pal

Don't know if you've sent the final package or not. I'm in China working for OCDF, Our Chinese Daughter's Foundation. Just didn't want you to worry if you didn't hear from me. I'll try to remember to ask my neighbors.

Donna

PS I have a blog for the trip so my students can follow along. You can find it in my profile on my adoption blog donnasbaby.blogspot.com or the address is missbinbeijing.blogspot.com.

Michelle Was The Best Secret Pal!

Michelle, You Were the Best Secret Pal!
I got all your wonderful gifts this past weekend. I had so much fun opening all that girly pink stuff. You have been my first secret pal exchange and I was so excited everytime I opened one of you great gift sets. You are so thoughtful and have brought many a tear and smile to my face every month. I would love to know more about you anf your growing family and keep in contact. Do you have a website or blog and e-mail. I have my site at http://www.babyjellybeans.com/web/do/site?ID=6026 and my e-mail is SchuetzC2006@yahoo.com
Thanks a Bunch,
Christie

Thank you SP - Maresa & Naill

I just received your final package today and I loved everything in it! My dream (other than to go to China and get our daughter) is to one day go to Ireland! Honestly, everything is just soooo perfect! My oldest daughter and I just love the way your packages smell. She asked me if that is what Ireland smelled like! LOL I can not thank you enough for all the beautiful things you have sent to our family. The books last month were awesome! Oh, and the cookies were very yummy and didn't make it in the picture that I usually take. My cord is not hooked up to the computer yet, but I'll have Bob do that when he gets home. Thank you again!

My secret pal can read minds!!!


It seems that my secret pal has a special talent. She can read my mind! It's so funny because last weekend I was looking at those exact shoes for Marili and finally decided to wait to get them for her. What a coincidence!
Thank you so much! I adore them! They are sooooooooo cute!!!
I know I keep repeating myself, but once again, you have picked the perfect gift for my little girl!
MERCI du fond du coeur!

To My Secret Pal

You have outdone your self once again! Your gifts are just fabulous.

I was at home this morning when the postman was early and he had a package for me. I am usually gone to work when he arrives and he normally leaves a note for me to say that he has a package and I am to call to the post office to collect. It was nice to be here when one of your truly amazing packages arrived.

The photo album is great and I will keep it as a special album for your adoption trip photos. The May Magpie pins, magnet and also the socks are great and something we will always treasure from our Secret Pal.

Once again the quilt squares are much appreciated and I am just about there with my 100 squares for the quilt, I am waiting on two more from my friends children and then I will be getting started on the quilt.

And to your parents I must say a very big thank you for the book that also included some quilt squares. They are just wonderful to have thought of us at this time.

And of course I must not forget your packaging is as always so appropriate, where do you find it all? I will definitely have to arrange to go shopping with you. You are just great at shopping including all your beautiful cards.

Secret Pal, A very Big Thank You.

Maresa & Naill

OMG to Christie's Secret Pal


This weekend I was in such a ba hum bug mood because of Mother's Day. I never thought I would have to celebrate another one without our Maizi. Well a knock at my door from UPS lifted my spirits because I got the Mother's Day package from you. I was so overwhelmed with all the gifts and when I read you letter I just cried with happieness. I had been waiting for someone to say to me the exact words that you wrote and I feel and not many ever recognize and that is the fact that although our girls are not home yet we are truly moms. I love the all the things you sent. I will always remember all these gifts as my first Mothers Day gifts ever. You are wonderful!
