August Secret Sister

**DrBee** · 08-17-2006, 04:05 PM

My package arrived today! Thanks SS! I could smell the coffee as soon as I took the paper off of the box! They all smell sooooo yummy! I loved the mug and the note, too! The note made it all that much more special! Thank you!!!!!

To my SS - I'm mailing the package tomorrow! I promise! You should have it by early next week. I'm such a slacker. Ugh!

I'm so excited - I just opened up my Secret Sister package - all the way from Down Under (who could it be from??? hmmm??

)

A very cool travel mug (which matches my car perfectly), some coffee, a protein bar, and candy - and best of all - vegemite (I love vegemite!) All I need now is some toast! What an excellent package! Thanks very much to a certain Aussie!

Thanks SS!! I _love_ the mug!! So does BF- I will have a hard time keeping it away from him! Had my first cup of coffee in it this morning- it was delicious.

The Lip Schit attacked the Bag Balm and the Sport Beans- got thing it was in a ziplock!

Thank you so much,

Nanci

I'm fairly new to this forum. How do you sign up for the secret sister thing?

I'm guessing that you get notified to purchase a coffee mug and coffee and send it to your secret sister in a certain month?

Wow! Thank you SS!

I had a big box waiting for me at my mailbox today. I thought, 'Oh my god, if this is all coffee I'll die of cafeine overdose!!'

No, not only there is coffee (yum!) but also a beautiful ceramic mug, a travel mug (I just needed to replace mine, thanks!) and a photo album (also timely, I'm just back from vacation!).

Thank you thank you thank you!

Ikkin and Spoke- Someone will post a thread anouncing the SS sign up. PM the organizer, get your name, ship your gift and watch the mail! It is quite fun.

On a side note- I slept better last night knowing my package was in the hands of my local post office. Now it is up to USPS to get it there before next week.

Thanks to my August Secret Sister (Cheri?) I had a great Friday afternoon surprise. The mug is so funky and different from my other plan old mugs, I love it! I cannot wait to try to hot chocolate in my freezing office. And I have never seen those Luna bars, something new!

You must have read my profile or saw some post up my fur babies. Either way, they loved the treats.

Thanks a bunch.

I finally ordered the finishing touches for my August SS! Now I just have to get it packaged! It has to go through customs, though- I wonder how much they'll tear it up...SS- sorry it's going to take forever, but it will be worth it!

July SS- I use my mug every day!! I love it!!!

Hi Amanda - guess it wasn't hard to figure me out, huh - it was the Princeton part that did it wasn't it?
Anyway - I saw in your profile that you had 2 schnauzers. My little angel (actually he's probably 1/2 devil) is a 1/2 schnoodle (schnauzer/poodle mix) and 1/2 yorkie. I know he loves peanut butter flavored treats, so....
Anyway - enjoy the hot chocolate, and let me know how it is. The Bent Spoon in Princeton is known for their funky ice cream flavors and such, so no surprise they have funky hot chocolate as well. Check them out:

Whoopee!

I just got a lovely package with rose-flavored tea and a giraffe teacup.

Life is truely good. (As is the tea.

)

I'll put Rose right next to Earl (the elephant cup from the same series that Elder Daughter gave me last Christmas) on the cup shelf. They'll get along famously.

And yes, I do seem to name my cups, too.
