    Wow to my secret sister, Cheryl from Australia. I came home from my 12 hour shift and sitting on my counter was this Fed-Ex box..I thought, hmmm. I didn't order anything that should've come Fed-ex. Then I saw it was from TE. Thought, I've received my order from them so my curiosity was getting to me now . I threw all the mail aside and opened it to find 2 pairs of wool socks gift wrapped and stated they were from you.. The timing couldn't have been better. Woolie Boolie socks were on my order list this week as they are my favorite, and I just love the smart wool ones. Don't have any of those and can't wait to wear them. I put them on last night quick to model and they felt so cushy and soft...I am soooo excited , thanks so much. the gift wrapping was very nice, it was that extra added touch. Thanks again, I will wear them proudly and think of you..shelly j

    I am worried with all the talk of Australia's customs that my gift didn't make it. This was my first time sending a package out of the country, so I am a little anxious. For next month can some post a list of things you CAN send to Australia?

    **Still hoping customs hasn't destroyed the package. It should be brightening my sister's day soon.**

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Secret Sister!

    I came home to an envelope covered with words about me and my DH had already got a good laugh out of it! It totally made me smile!

    Then I opened it to find the perfect pair of socks for me. The have a pink pig on a white background with black outlines...did you know that my bike is white and black with pink accents? They couldn't be more perfect!

    The notecards, bracelet and little treat were awesome as well! Thank you so much for putting so much thought/research into my gift!

    Now...as to who you are...that took me awhile but I'm going to guess Haudlady? I took many summer weekends up into your neck of the woods when I lived in the Boston area, but I couldn't find a single commuter with your state as their location. New England was the closest I could find...am I right??

    Thanks again!

    Good work! You got me. I'm glad you liked the socks... I didn't realize they would match so well - I just thought they were funny! "When Pigs Fly!"

    I had fun with the envelope - I had forgotten how much fun it is to play with markers (of course, it helped that they were the scented kind ).

    I have NO CLUE who my SS is... I know she is from New Jersey, but that's all! Who are you???

    Thank You, Tri Girl!

    I had just taken some Nyquil Sinus and was preparing to lie down when the postal carrier delivered a package for me.

    My Secret Sister Rocks! Thank you Tri Girl!!!


    OMG, did you make the stationary? I have never had personalized stationary before. Wow, the socks are wonderful! I will have the happiest feet around.
    I already put the valve caps on, they are so cute! I loved the fact they are for ages 4 and up. I am as excited as a 4 year old! Thank you for the gels and bloks. I look forward to trying them out. The magnetic pad is on the frig looking bright and cheery.

    Thank You!!!!!!!

    Thank you SS aka salsa (i recognized the return address )

    i love the socks! specially the bear ones, just glad to see it wasn't a bear inside that package. i think i've seen enough real ones. the cycling ones will be worn tonight. hopefully they bring me luck with coach troy and he doesn't kick my butt to bad.

    the cards are beautiful! the pens are fun, i love fun pens. the chocolate is staying with me, in my sight, and not going home so no one else eats it!

    thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!
