You are correct, Trehawk! I hope you enjoy a tiny piece of my home state. I did not figure my identity would be a big secret given the question I posed earlier this month - I only wish they could have squeezed both names on the print.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving!
Its lovely just the way it is. I feel very special indeed.:DQuote:

To my secret sister, far far away, your package has been sent....I have no idea how long it will take...hopefully not too long! Enjoy
I got my package yesterday :)
What a nice way to brighten up my otherwise crabby week!
I love the water bottle-- never had one of those kind before. And Clif are my favorites, even though BF reps for PB.
Thanks so much!!!:D
WOW. I haven't been around much, but my SS completely outdid herself. And I have to tell you this: I had those exact ornaments -- all of them -- in my online shopping cart earlier this month, but I decided I couldn't afford them. Those alone would have made my whole month, but the snake cable lock? The water bottles? The everything? I am blown away.
That is two months in a row when my SS bought me something that I had almost bought for myself. I'm starting to think you guys are stalking me! Heh.
To my SS: your package will not go out until after Thanksgiving, I'm so sorry. I ordered it late due to a crazy month, and it hasn't arrived yet, so I will ship it out when I get back from Yosemite.
My parents called last night and said "You got a weird package- from New Zealand??" I can't wait to go by and pick it up!! :D
To all the late senders (myself included) I can PM anyone if you think it will be REAL late. I don't think the end of the month or the first week of December is late.
To my SS. I got your last item yesterday. I will pack it up today and it will ship on Friday!
Thank you SS!! I love all my little goodies! Especially the chocolate ;)
Don't know how you did it, but you got me just what I've been wanting! My hands will be especially thankfull on those cold rides. The SmarWool liners are perfect! I love the ornament, too and of course all the other little treats! Thanks again.
To my SS in the NE, I was finally able to get to the bike shop today, the one I like isn't close to home. I'm hoping to get your package sent out this weekend and on Monday at the latest! I hope you're being patient and that you like what I got for you.

Okay, I just got a cool package from my SS! Now I just have to figure out who she is (I know where she lives;) )! If you,my dear Secret Sis, happen to read this, thanks for the goodies both human and dog!
Thank you Thank you Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up this morning to a package from my SS. I LOVE the cycling Santa music Christmas ornament. I didn't have any reflecting bands ,so it was so cool to get some. I do ride at night in traffic. I'm feeding 11 people today ,but I'm sure we will have plenty of left overs for that yummy sauce. You made my day SS.....................Thanks again. :D I know your from sunny Ca :cool: ,but I will research later to find out who sent sunshine to my rainy Portland. Thanks sooooooooooooooooo much .
Suzie
Kiwi- Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I love all my New Zealand goodies. The ornament will look great amongst my safari animal ornaments, I can't wait to open the magic towel (how did you know I loved those as a kid) and I can't wait to ride and use my goodies.
Thanks again! :D
Thank you to my SS for the adorable Christmas slipper socks and cute snowman throw pillow! I hadn't even gotten the Christmas things out yet, so this puts me in the mood and cheers me up! Oh, and the chocolate.....mmmm!
My pleasure Aggie. I was a bit worried about whether the food would make it through customs - so its good that everything arrived intact
Thank You to my Secret Sister Tater!
Thank You for the very cool ornament for my Christmas tree and the bike goodies! And I will add the tire boot, patches and tire lever to my seat bag. Thanks for the Happy Thanksgiving card and the postcards too!
To my SS; I have the goodies and the box, I just need to package it up and get it in the mail tomorrow. Hmmm, I wonder if she likes chocolate?
Judy
THANK YOU, SJCzar! I came home from my visit with my parents a bit on the down side and your box provided a much needed smile. I love the contents - a cool pocket guide to emergency bicycle repairs, a cool pair of socks, my favorite snack bars (MOJOs are my favorite) , a stuffed snowman ornament (how did you know I love snow!), a cute pair of earrings and a CD ROM on cycling. It was a great pick-me up. Thanks again and now it's time to enjoy that MOJO bar before I go out for a ride on this beautiful, sunny, warm (68F) afternoon.
Glad you liked the stuff. I enjoy the MOJOs quite a bit myself. That happens to be one of my daughter's nicknames, so that's what made me try them the first time. We're enjoying some usually nice weather around here also. I got out for a great ride yesterday. Hopefully it will stay decent through the weekend and I can get out a few more times.
THANK YOU SS!!!
I love, love, love, love all the goodies you sent!!! You went all-out!!! I absolutely love the beach, and being landlocked in the middle of the country, I miss it so much. I can't believe you sent me part of the actual beach!! You're the BEST!!!! All the goodies, the Disneyland ornament (have been there a few times and LOVE the jungle cruise), the personalized liscense plate, the bath gel, magnet, spoon holder, Haunakah coins, the ornament (is that made of crepe paper- amazing), and of course, the nutrition goodies. You are truly the BEST!!! I couldn't have asked for a better way to end my day!
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO VERY MUCH!!!!!!
Now I just need to do some research to figure out who you are....hmmmm..putting on my detective hat.
Thank you again! You've made my month!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
I know who you are SS...................a little "duckie" told me. Joy (AKA) Bluetree (right) !!! Thanks again so much. I love the Santa on the cycle .
Suzie
I have a rockin' SS (PAP103???)!! Wow...such a wicked bunch of goodies delivered right to my door! Thank you, thank you!! MY DH made me put up the tree and the ornaments from you were the first ones to grace a branch! :) Excellent! I'm going to try the Sport Beans tomorrow (have a 3hour team ride to look forward to)...I've never had them before! :)
To my SS...the box is in the mail...should arrive in the next couple of days...probably Monday or Tuesday (phew...just squeaked in at the tail-end of the month!)!! I hope you enjoy!
Thank you to my secret sister. I received my package on Friday. The socks and the water bottle have already been put to good use. The socks are unbelievably comfortable.
I did love the items from Italy and all the stamps on the outside of the package.
Thank you so much.
ah Patti, thanks for telling me who you were. I still don't know who I gifted in October!!
I received the most wonderful package from my ss. First, I carefully opened it as I'm saving the stamps and stickers from the outside. So much thought and effort! My 19 year old son couldn't get past the stamps from Israel! Anyway, inside was an interesting letter about where my ss lives and the most beautiful oil painting by a local woman artist. I must say, I was absolutely stunned. It is a representation of the Jordan Valley where she lives and she even described the flowers and olive trees. I like how the light is filtering down in the back. I just can't quite convey how much I love this little painting, I will take good care of it and keep it always. Thank you Margaret.
I was so hoping you would feel like this, uforgot
Not looking quite like this at the mo' but was up on the hill yesterday picking olives and thinking the parcel must nearly be there.
I am so touched that you have shared it with everyone. Everywhere on Earth has its own certain slant of light and I think she caught it well.
You must come in the spring and we will ride amongst them!
The oil painting is stunning. Thanks for sharing.
To my SS - my package was sent last Tuesday. I was told it would take 3-5 days so hopefully it will be arriving very soon.
Patti
Awesome painting Margo!
I got my SS package this weekend and it was amazing! I got a dream catcher, bike angel (I really needed that!), sport jelly beans, some chocolate, incredible smelling bath products from little mama, tea, hand and foot cream, chamois butter, and a cute little bike paperclip (I think I got it all). What a thoughtful gift from my SS in Phoenix! Now I'll have to look you up, TE map says Vickie lives nearby, is it you?
dear secret sister,
yes i did receive your package and the post office was right about how long it would take. thank you for all the wonderful things. though with it being monday morning and i have short-timer's syndrome really bad i think those chocolate covered espresso beans may meet there end today or at least a few of them will.
thank you for all the thought that went into the package. it made my day to get it.
:)
To my SS... your package is in the mail... finally! The post office worker said it should be to you within a day or two. SO, if one of you hasn't received her package... you'll be getting it soon. Hopefully you'll find it worth the wait! :D
To my secret sister from Santa Cruz (I'll have to try and work out who you are later).
Thank you so much for the great goodies. The insulated water bottle will come in really handy now that it is heading into summer here. I haven't seen the Clif Shot blocks here so am looking forward to testing them on my next long ride (I had to resist the temptation to just eat them as candy as I stared out the window at the rain last night). Even though today is a work day I managed to give the socks a short test run on my (short) commute this morning. The only colour coordinated cycling outfit I have is sky blue, but I had been going with white socks with it - now I will be even more matching.
cheers
I got a fabulous package from my "not-so-secret sister" today. I'm sure she had a good laugh when she got my name for November. What are the chances that you'd actual get someone you know and have ridden with before?
Of course that meant that she knows me all too well and knew just what to send me.
I loved everything : the T-Shirt, Secret Sister hanging (how cute), snowboarding ornament (my other passion), note paper, chocolate goodies (yes I have a sweet tooth), Gumby tag (my bike, Nathan, is going to wear it proudly) and the tattoos. I'll be sure to wear them on some organized rides next year.
My non-cycling co-workers are getting jealous. They want a secret sister of their own. Maybe that's one way to get them out on a bike.
:p I knew you'd figure it out! Yes, I did chuckle when I got your name, but it was fun shopping. I was gonna send it to someone out of state to mail to you but I was running out of time. How's Melissa feeling?
Thank you to my November SS!
Lots of wonderful goodies - including a yummy cliff bar, socks, a great tail light that will go right on my lightless road bike, and earrings and a necklace that she made! Wow.
Hmmm...I've just spent the last hour and a half cruising old postings, trying to spot my jewelry-making SS from OK (University of OK). Very talented (the ornament was really neat - I can't believe you MADE that!). I'm thinking...I KNOW this person, why can I not find her! :confused: And....sneaky, she's not posted on the sticky map (or is she??).
Thanks again! :D
Susie - is it you - your signature on the customs form is a bit hard to read, but now I've seen Susie on the map as the only person in Santa Cruz I think that could be what it says
whoops - double post
I had a nice surprise from Alaska waiting for me when I got home last night (Chickwhorips??). I love the moose ornament. I'll be putting up my tree this weekend and my new friend will be front and center. Also, love the Alaska cookie cutters. Wonder what the kids will think when they get bears and moose cookies instead of Xmas trees and angels??
Thanks again - you made my day.

Hey Dar,
Melissa is doing OK. Her chest and shoulder area is hurting more than the broken/bruised ribs. She's going to the doctor today to she if she did any more damage than what was originally discovered at the ER...perhaps a torn muscle in her chest.
Don't mean to take this thread off topic, but please all remember the importance of seat belts. I would bet that since most of us wear helmets we also wear seat belts.
My daughter was in a car accident the weekend before Thanksgiving. Luckily for her, she was programmed from childhood to always put her seat belt on. Judging by the force of the impact from the seat belt locking, the paramedics were sure she would have been through the windshield if she hadn't been wearing it, and quite possibly ended up under the car. She has a nasty seat belt burn, one broken and five bruised ribs, but it could have been much worse.
have fun making cookies pap. i think there is a recipe on there too. i couldn't resist the moose. he was just oh so cute!
Got an exciting surprise package from ENGLAND today!!! So thrilling and mysterious to open it!
Thank you Eli, such a wonderful book on Norwegian folk tales!! Did you perchance know that I sing old ballads and thus have a big interest in traditional stories and folk tales?? How on earth did you know??
I've also been wanting to try out those famous Sports Beans everyone talks about. And wow that CHOCOLATE is going to be a real treat. Gonna keep my DH from swiping it!
Thank you thank you!!!! What a sweet package of treats. :p
