August Secret Sister

[Grog]

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.

I am so annoyed. Performance Bike has the world's SLOWEST shipping. I finally finalized my SS supplies with a Performance order, last Tuesday, which was supposed to be upgraded to the two day shipping for club members. So I'm thinking Friday? Well here it is, the next Wednesday, and still no package. Oh, they took two days to ship it!!! Why, oh why, can't TE with their perfect shipping carry everything??? I hope my August SS enjoys her Christmas present from me!!!

[Nanci]

Finally here, and one item is not what I ordered, exactly, but will fit with the theme better, I think! I sent a complaining letter to Performance, too. I never do that.

Thanks so much to my secret sister who sent the items from the English Tea Store. What a nice treat! Thanks again!!

I'm afraid I let my life get in the way of my August SS! I really feel bad, but I finally got your package mailed today - priority mail by the USPS, so, if you haven't received your package from August, and you're wondering "what the h*ll is up with that?" - it's me being late... so sorry.

Now, however, I'm wondering if my other August SS has had the same issues I had... I haven't received my August package either!

Hey, I am still waiting for July. HAHAHA

[jeannierides]

oh, Patti, that's not good! But it makes me feel a bit better about being so late sending my August out!

I just got the package and, given your post and the return addie on the box, even *I* could figure out who my secret sister is!!!

Thanks Jeannie - I love the mug; the apache blessing is lovely. And the decaf coffee selection looks yummy.

All good things come to she who waits! Thanks!!

Haha! You're certainly welcome, Cathy! I'm glad it got there safely... I'm not too good at keeping secrets...
