(¯`*•. October 2008 Secret Sister Thank yous!¸.•*´¯)

hello to my dear Sis, Crafty 4 You.  DH went to the PO tonight after he left school (he has many papers to grade) and brought home a cute little box.  First off, a funny for you.  When I pulled the paper off, he said, "did she send you a new phone?"  LOL.

I got another beautiful card from my sis.  I can't wait to show it to my friend who sells Stampin Up.  I know she'll love looking at it, too!  i got a chili pepper bag holder and a set of chili pepper handle/pot holders.  I love them both!  they are awesome!!!!  Oh, I also got a frog magnet from Phoenix.  It has a cute cowboy hat on his head.

I can't wait until I know more about you, because your cards are beautiful.  I definitely want to learn from you.  Thank you so much!   You always know how to brighten my day. (or night!)

Micki

The Blue Fairy strikes again!

She's awesome!  She even thinks of me while on vacation.  This time se was in Hood River, Oregon.   

Yes, BF I must admit sites like this one reveals to us that God really does do good work!  You are one of His examples.

 OH Dearest Flower,

I got   your "special " delivery this afternoon!

Flower sent me one of the CUTEST kitchen towels......... it's Red with a spider and written under the spider .."Wanna go for a spin?" LMAO How did you know at Halloween I go crazy decorating with spiders......I dislike real spiders with a passion!!!!!!!! I wont hesitate to smooch one with any shoe that I can grab................ OK fine that only holds true if they are in my house if they are outside I leave them alone and walk around them.

I recieved a wonderful cookbook......... Totally Apples.........  just in time........ I just bought a 5lb bag of Golden delicious apples and shall be checking it this week for recipes, I am thinking baked in some way shape of form.

aggggggggkkkkkkkkkkkkkk inside I also got a bag of Twizzler pull aparts................mmmmmmmmmm saving these and if I plan it right they should last me for ohhhhhhhhhhh maybe a week. hehe

I LOVE the decorated bobby pins!!!!!!!  These are darling they have crystal shaped flowers on the them....... one set is Red and the other set is Clear. I do pull my hair up in a bun and usually use clips to hold the loose ends up but now I have some sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet looking pins to use.

Now to the card with your next clue...........that could fit a few people but I am not concerned on figuring out who you are..............JUST YET.   ;)

Thank you for the wonderful gifts they are so perfect for me. I hope things are going well with you and your family. Are you ready for Halloween?  It is coming so fast I still cant believe I lost the whole month of September!!! Time is flying and I must be off in naaa naaa land. I love decorating for all the holidays and try to change it up some each year. This year I pulled in cat tails and tall grass spikes, which I need to some finishing touches on. Yesterday hubby decided it was time to tie all the corn stalks out front...........I dont know when he is going to learn that where they go has to fit the plan I formed in my mind! Oh yes there were dirty looks and words thrown around BUT I won out, if it were up to him...........well I wont go there. LOL  He is trying to be helpful but he doesnt think it through. I had better stop rambling on........... THANK YOU!

Huggers,

Sandra

To my Secret Sister (Hugs)!!

  Thank you so much for my Birthday card and gift!!  It came right on the day!  What a wonderful sister you are!  I love the necklace.  I have some Black Hills Gold--but nothing like that.  I love the dove!!  I have it on right now.  DH and I went out to dinner (because I refuse to cook on my birthday).  We just went out to a family resturant. 

  It was a nice fall day today.  We have the week off.  We spent the day shopping (mainly window shopping), but it was enjoyable.  Wednesday we plan on going to a friends trailer on a large lake and stay there and come home on Saturday.  Our friends gave us a key, so it'll be nice to just have the two of us there.  We plan on going all around the lake and stop at some antique malls.  One of the days we plan on going to a state park.  We'll take the dog and do some hiking.  Hopefully the weather will be good.  I'm going to take my camera and I'll send you some pictures.  Now, I'll need your address.  Oh yeah!!  LOL!!!  I guess it'll have to wait until December! 

  Thank you again for making my birthday extra special!  I love my necklace!!

Your "sister" Janet

And also, thank you for thinking of me!!

Well, my wonderful Secret Sister sure put a BIG smile of my face today.

Guess what kind of card I got...!  A Happy New Year card.

You can only imagine the look on my face...!

And then The Lollipop Lady says, "I don't know about you but I celebrate all holidays (hoping to get presents).  LOL.  So to you my dear SS - Happy Rosh Hashanah!"

And to you Miss Lollipop Lady, I say "You forgot to put your name and mailing address so I can send those presents!"

Did that work??????????

Take care!

  Hi!   Thank you to my Secret Sister!  I got a nice package yesterday that contained some note pads, shopping list pads, note cards, a darling Babies in Costumes mini calendar and some M&Ms.  Thank you so much for thinking of me.

  I love the fall!!  The air is crisp and the leaves are such pretty colors.  It's a cool day here today, the high is only going to be 68.  I'm debating on whether to make soup or chili for supper.  I may even bake an apple pie.  The cooler weather really puts me in a baking moodl  Do you bake?

   Thank you again!

    Hugs,

                 Sandy

Dear Secret Witch Sister!  LOL! 

Thank you for the haunted house note pad.  It's really cute!  I love the Halloween card with all the jack-o-lanterns!  Adorable!

Hugs and prayers!

Willie,

I just got my mail and go your note. I love the dolphins on the front of the card, they look like they are haing a good time. One surgery down and 2 more to go. My new job is kicking in too, fun time at my house. Thanks for remembering me. The poem ws nice too!

'Lil Ole Me - thank you for your wonderful note.  I am trying this post again - new computer, and all the challenges that go with it.  I want to come help you with canning!  You're welcome to join us in our search for snow - dress warmly  The recipes sound great - have you been looking at our local store ads?  Country style ribs are on special this week.  I will be trying these recipes very soon - and will post them for the Sisters to share.  DS will love the apple pie - and the ribs - actually - DS and DH will be tickled pink with the whole menu!  Bless you for making me feel so pampered and special - you have the ability to make a smile in my day at just the right time.  You are an angel

Woo Hoo - it worked

Sandra, from my experience golden delicious apples are not baking apples.  I find that Granny Smith are much better.  JMHO.    Let me know what you think about it. 

 Sister Houston,

I like to thank you for the cards and goodies you sent me a Spa facial tonic ( I loved the last one you sent ) The strawberry and banana milk flavoring straws ,and the Apple Pound Cake recipe I just may make this one on Saturday. And did you have fun in Oregon??I liked the post card!

Have a good week and thank you so much you make my day and today was a very good one.

God Bless and keep you

Autumn,

Thanks for the email. It was great to hear from you. I can't blame any one for wanting to take a peek at the book! I am a pretty advance crotcheter. The more difficult ones might take me a little extra time, just because it takes a little more concentration and I can't always do that with the boys around me. Now knitting, I am not nearly as confident in. But I love both.

I have been working on some differant polymer clay beads today. They are supposed to look like agate. So far so good. I haven't baked them yet, and may play around with a little more when I get the chance.

I kept my 2nd to the youngest home from school. A cold sounded like it was going to his chest, but I switched to a differant medicine and he seems fine. I think he is bored to death.

I hope you were able to look at my blog and see some of the knitting and crotcheting I have done recently. When I start on your shawl I will post some pictures there. If you remember a certain one that you can describe well, that you want, let me know.

I agree it would be great if we could meet someday. Right now I don't see myself traveling very far because of young ones and finances.

Well...kids are hungry. Take care,

Rebecca Lee
