July/Aug SS Thank You

[SJCzar]

I guess I get to be the first one to get this going. Even though my Secret Sister had to send me her package all the way from Japan she still beat out everyone else.

It was really fun to get some books from a country that I've never been to, but would definitely like to get to visit one day. I'm looking forward to reading them. I think I'll be putting out the hammock in the yard this weekend and starting one of them already.

My coworkers are anxiously awaiting my first experiment with Japanese cooking.

Thanks alot to my not-so-Secret Sister (mountainchick)

This SS is so cool.....

I want to join in the next time

[mimitabby]

oops, this weekend i had better find that book!

[mountainchick]

You're welcome! Glad you liked the books!

I knew if I didn't send them out I wouldn't remember. I liked that cookbook for all the pictures, I have a Japanese cookbook myself but it doesn't have near as many pictures as the one I sent you.

Keep me posted on your cooking adventures!

I had asked to join the last time, but was excluded. I think this is only for the people who have been here for a really long time.

[crazycanuck]

Um,

Did you send the organizer a PM to let her know your address details? I know that for this one, I gave a deadline of June 26th(???) to get your details in so i could organize & send details out.

You're NOT BEING EXCLUDED because you're new

Nicole:

Unfortunately I never received a PM from you for the last SS exchange. I would have gladly included you in the name/gift exchange. For future references if you want to participate you simply have to send your name, address and any other information requested to the person organizing the exchange via private message. They will put your information into the hat. Typically they give a deadline for names to be submitted so that they have time to match people and send out PM's to all participants with their SS name/address. I hope you will participate in future exchanges for they are a lot of fun.

Sorry for any confusion about how the SS exchanges work.

[Zen]

I've got most of what I want to include, just need to find a few yummies to throw in there.

this may seem like a dumb question but I don't care.
This is SECRET sister, so when I send this I'm not supposed to say who it's
from, right?

[makbike]

Zen, it is strictly up to you whether you wish to reveal yourself. Some send clever notes and make their SS figure out/guess who their SS is. Some send no clues and others come right out and share their name.

I've purchased my books and am still looking for something fun to add to the box. I thought I had found the perfect fun bicycle themed gift only to find out it had been discontinued, so bummed. I'm going to continue the search this week - I will not give up, I will not be defeated!

OoooH!
My ss - the one and only mimitabby - has sent 2 novels (one historical and one contemporary) set where she lives.
And a little watercolour painting (of a single flower in lovely woman-art shades and signed mimi '07) which I shall frame.

[IFjane]

to my SS - your package is in the mail this morning! Hope it arrives safely.

[jeannierides]

Margo40 (Margaret )!! My package arrived today. Thank you SS for the beautiful book! I will love taking my time and looking at your beautiful world!

[Zen]

Mine is packed, taped, and addressed...(taped twice cuz I forgot something, thank goddesses for opposable thumbs )

[PAP103]

A wonderful surprise was at my doorstep all the way from NJ yesterday!! It was like Christmas in August with all the fun stuff in there. I was excited to recieve 2 books. Both look like great reads so I started reading both of them last night. But not to worry, I was able to mark my pages with magnetic book marks! There were some goodies for the road, mini notebooks and coffee in there!

Thank you so much, my SS from NJ!!!!

My dear SS (SheFly) I finally got the chance to open my package. It came to right address few days ago, but since I was away for couple of weeks I sent my parents address, and when I finally arrived they were on vacation, so I could only stand in front of the window and look your big package through the glass window.

Ah what a pain,what an agony, to know you received something great but not been able to look what it is.

But, my patience has payed well (...was that the right expression ...) ...anyway, thank you for the books, "Water Witches" seems very interesting (and easy to read ) and for the other one... well, I just hope I'll visit Boston some day so I could see it with my own eyes, that would be really nice.

Thank you also for all the other things
(magnet is GREAT, I LIKE IT SOOOO MUCH)
