July/Aug SS Thank You

[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?

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!

I purchased my last magazine relating to our area last night, so my mags and book is ready. Now to get some other goodies around and my gift will be going to the other side of the states. Vacation is next week so hopefully can get a thing or 2 from there to send. That is what my intentions are..

Thanks to my secret sister (bmccasland) for all the great loot from LA! I can't wait to read the books you sent - the one with the pigs looks like a hoot! Can you tell me the story behind the cups you sent? The artwork on them is great.

Oh, and now I'm ready for Mardi Gras celebrations, too! It was just like Christmas in July to unwrap all the great presents!

To my secret sister - I have one more item to pick up, and then will put my package in the mail. I haven't forgotten you!

SheFly,
Glad you liked the goodes
The cups are Mardi Gras "throws" - they don't just throw beads. Each Krewe (private club) has a theme and hosts a parade. The Krewe of Muses is one of two all women Krewes - and they sponsor a contest among high school students for the cup design http://www.kreweofmuses.org. Muses parade is one of my favorites. Can't remember the other cup I enclosed, but it would be from another parade during Carnival. Gen-u-wine Mardi Gras goodies from the Big Easy.

Sharon,

Thank you so much for the books, coffee, and note cards from Utah. I think if I were to classify states, Utah would be my #2. I was so excited to get the package, and can't wait to start reading. I wish I could express how excited I was to get the package And the personalized card was beautiful, how did you make it? On the computer?

Thank you again!!!

Becki,
I am so happy you received your package ...I make my cards on the computer. My DH kept telling me about this local author and I finally looked her up. When I read the book, "Refuge", I knew what I was going to send my ss. I hope you enjoy it too. The coffee is from a local coffee shop that roasts their own coffee...Again, I am so glad you got your package...
