Thank you from the Hammock Family

First of all I have to explain this picture. I had the gifts all set up to take the picture; I left the room to get the camera and when I got back Pearson had just helped himself to the cups. I thought it was too cute so I had to share it with y'all.

Secret Pal, we love the meal time gifts you sent us. The Snow White feeding set is super nice and those sippy cups are great. Bibs and more bibs, did you ever set us up with bibs. There's 9 total, and they're all pink and girly, I just love them. It is so much fun getting pink stuff, thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you secret pal. I am having trouble keeping my daughter Sarah (adopted from Hubei Jan. 05) from claiming the gifts as her own. She wants so bad to open them and use them. I guess then they pass the "cool" test. I appreciate the fun gifts I've been given. I truely am thankful for my secret pal! I love getting the boxes in the mail and even more, I love to open them and see all the fun things inside.

From my secret pal this month I received a bib (can never have too many!) an eating themed book, and two sets of eating utensils for little hands to use. I will post pictures soon.

Sincerely,
Andrea Hennen

Thank you Secret Pal!!! I received some of the cutest things this month. They included a washing basket for the dishwasher, a frog bowl(purple) with spoon that changes color with temp of food, a purple and pink sippy cup just perfect for little hands, and my favorite thing a pink bib with purple butterfly that has a teether edge on it. I loved all of the purple and pink. You really picked all my favorites this month as I love frogs and butterflies. Thank you again for everything!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to my secret pal! I am on vacation up in Maryland for awhile to see my family, so I can't download any pics. I got the package the day I flew up here, and it got me in a good mood for the long flight! Loved the little bowls and the cute chopstick too! You are very generous as always and I always look forward to your packages!

Fun stuff from Megan Anderson's secret pal!!!!


Thank you so much secret pal for the fun bibs. I especially loved the funny sayings on the bibs the "too cool to drool" is my favorite, followed by the "Got cookies" one! That is so perfect! Just the right amount of spunk and sass!

Chris loved the label on the spoons and sippy cups that said they were either disposable or lose-able. Again, that is another thing that I do oh so well. I have 11 billion tupperware containers with only 1 lid left. And that one probably doesn't even match!

As always thank you so much for everything!!

PS.. I went back and uploaded the picture from last time.

Thanks SP!

Thank you again Secret Pal!!!!

My children had a wonderful time unwrapping a sippy cup, a bowl set, a bib and a traveling fork and spoon with holder (which I love). I have not been able to find those here in TX. And as always a cute little card for Adayla Rose.

As you can tell Chayla and Kavin wanted their picture made with the stuff.

Thanks Secret Pal!!!!

Thankyou so much to the Obrien secret pal!
We think our secret pal is great!


Look what I got waaaayyy to cute!
We got a beautiful set of dishes beige with pink blue and muli coloured flowers plate, bowl and cup and it came in a really cute clear backpack. My boys love the bib SP it says I love my big brother. They thought that was great.
We got Gerber bite size finger foods for babies learning to self feed fruit puffs and vege puffs. You are right Secret Pal they are not available in Canada what a neat idea. And my secret pal takes time out every month to send a very special card each month which we really appreciate!
This is way to cute so I had to take a picture of it.
Dont you agree it is cute too?
My mail man got a kick out of the card and gift also Secret Pal he makes sure when I receive your gift each month I am the first house he delivers the mail to on the street. I can always tell when you gift is here because the mailman has a certain ring on the doorbell for my special parcels :)


Thankyou again secret pal your made my day.

My secret pal ROCKS! We got a huge box of goodies for our daughter...a sippy cup, Elmo divider plate (which is really funny, since I wish I could eat my meals on divider plates...maybe I'll "test" it out...), colorful containers & spoons, a smily face container, dishwasher basket, and a very clever bib! In case you can't see what it says, it says "later, I'm downloading"...perfect for my software engineer husband! :) The dishwasher basket was also full of candy...I say WAS, because Chris has been steadily eating the Jolly Ranchers since they arrived!! Thank you so much!!

Hugs, Mara & Chris

The Vandeven (Cardinal Fan) Family thanks their secret pal!

My secret pal is the best! My whole family is head over heals in love with YOU!


Lucy has divided the set up between her and Kate. Kate will get the bowl and Lucy has tried to claim the rest as her own.

Bart also thinks he is going to drink his "game beer" out of it! NOT going to happen! Ha!

You are so kind to be so personal and Cardinal baseball is PERSONAL!
Thanks over and over again!
Love the ladybug card as well!

Gray Family Secret Pal - THANKYOU!


Your beautiful July meal-time gift bag was so much fun to open! Emily opened one gift, Lucy the other and I also got to open one....so generous of you and so kind to wrap each item separately :-) The girls loved the Winnie-the-Pooh bib (as do I) and the Sippy Cup with Snack Cup is fabulous - such a great idea that the snack cup can attach to the bottom of the drinking cup! I love the bowl and spoon too - so cute! Thanks again, you are so thoughtful and generous!

Andrew and Tiff Gray
PS. I have finally published photos of the May and June gifts with my message in the archives!

Thank you so much Bryant Secret Pal.

Once again you've taken the time to really think about what we want, though in this case, what Magpie would want. We are so happy to have you as our Secret Pal.

We love the suction cup bowl... we've given these as gifts ever since we first saw them, they are so cool! The cups and spoons are fantastic too. The bib is soooo cute! Lastly, you always put in the loveliest of notes and cards and this time was no exception. Too funny about the food comments.

Thanks Secret Pal for sending this out so early for July since we won't be in this house much longer... next month, Motel 8? Just kidding, we have no idea, maybe a campsite!!!


My Terrific Secret Pal!
Thanks so much for the divided plate, no skid plate and the toddler utensils. I absolutely

LOVED the tea time book and the card. I was so glad to get the gift today, we are leaving on vacation for a week tomorrow and I really wasn't looking forward to knowing my gifts got here while I was gone. The card was so sweet and thoughtful. I will have to use the ladybug stickers in the scrapbook.

Thanks so much

Thanks so much to our secret pal! We love the stress relief gift and have really enjoyed using it. The candles smell so good. We put the Chinese Red Envelope in our daughter's piggy bank. Sorry that it took me so long to post but we have been on vacation.
Thanks so much Secret Pal!!!

Wow Secret Pal, you sure pampered me!
I kept pulling beautiful things out of the box! I love the pink photo album with space to write on -cute bow too. The wonderful scrapbook supplies of pretty papers, stickers, panda stamp, and ribbons, will be put to good use. The bath products are unbelievable. I love the fresh scents of cucumber melon and raspberry. The little quotation books are perfect for beside our beds -gardening for me and golf for Darcy. I must not forget the pretty rose shaped candles. They are perfect for an evening dinner. And just when I think I have found everything, I find a beautiful bracelet. I usually do not wear much jewelry except for bracelets. I do not know how you knew! I really feel spoiled. I love everything. A big thank you secret pal. Jennifer

THANK YOU SECRET PAL
I have the best Secret Pal!!! I absolutely love the gift box full of lavender goodies. First of all it was wrapped beautifully; I even included the gift wrap in the picture. The mug is so pretty, I brought it to work so I can use it everyday. There are bath salts, bath oils, sachets, soaps, and even recipes with lavender and basil included. We made the lemonade with lavender and it was so good!!!! Thanks again Secret Pal, you are awesome!

Thanks Secret Pal!

Thank you so much for the fun scrapbook kit you sent me! I have been trying to get motivated again to start working on the albums and this will really help get me going. I will post a picture when I get my camera back.

Hope you had a great 4th of July!!

--Megan


Thank you Secret Pal!!!! It has taken me awhile to post but did want to say thank you for all the stuff. My daughter loved the popcorn and my husband has already used the batteries. However, I missed the Blockbuster card until I was getting my stuff ready to send and found this little wrapped card in the bottom. It was great...my daughter can't wait until we get to go use it. Thanks again Secret Pal!!! I am really loving this.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou to the O'Briens Pal!!

Wow! Now look what I received today just blew my mind it is so wonderful and well thought out by my secret pal! She must have read my information because it is everything that I just love.

We got a beautiful card with a ladybug on the front with beautiful scents lotus, Chocolate chip cookies and rose which we have already started enjoying. She even explained what each one was and had a scent for each person in our family now how thoughtful is that. We got a beautiful inscents holder and a bag of Hershey's minatures and the boys have the bag almost gone. As soon as they saw them it took a whole 2 minutes to open the bag and start pampering themselves with the wonderful chocolaty taste.

We really feel pampered secret pal thankyou again!

Thank you to my secret pal. I received dinner and a movie. We got dinner from the 30minute cookbook and the movie was "The Bachelor". I love that movie and have been wanting to buy it. All the recipes look so yummy and quick. I can't wait to try them out. Thanks again.

Lenora

Thank you so much to my secret pal! I really have been pampered! A green apple bath set, chocolate body cream, potpourri & incense, & two pairs of fuzzy socks! There was even a cute ladybug for my scrapbook! WOW! I can't wait to start using all of it...THANK YOU!! :)

Hugs,
Mara (& Chris, who apparently is intrgued by chocolate body cream!)

To my fantastic secret pal - thankyou so much for the lovely bath goodies that you sent. I have finally tracked down all the items, and now have them hidden away from the boys! If their reaction is anything to go by, then our little one is sure to enjoy them! It is really lovely opening these gifts, it makes the whole waiting game more 'real' . Here are my 2 boys enjoying their sister's pressies!

Thanks Again!

Yum! Our secret pal not only sent me a book from my favorite author, she sent DH 3 mixes for his absolutley favorite food....cheesecake. We needed to bake one up so that we could take a pic of it. And, DH still keeps the digital camera in his firetruck and it is hard to get him to bring it home. The book will be greatly enjoyed and Chuck is already devoring the cheesecake. I guess he will have to start his diet after he finishes all 3 flavors. Thank you so very much, secret pal. You are helping to make this wait a lot more enjoyable. Michele & Chuck
