Secret Sister 2009
 
:snowwomanI would like to thank my Secret Sister for such a lovely Christmas gift. I received it today!!! In the package was a Christmas CD, a book, two lovely cards and my favorite, CHOCOLATE!!! I want to thank my S.S. for always surprising me when I least expect it. I pray that God blesses her with much more than she has given. Again, thank you my Secret Sister!!!

Since it is the last month for the Secret Pals-- and the last gift would be for Christmas we'll use this thread as the last one to reveal identities.

When you receive your package for Christmas from your pal-- post here who you think your secret pal for 2009 may be. They can let you know if you are right.

Hope everyone has enjoyed participating this year!

I sure have. My secret sister sent me some really nice things and I was very
encouraged. I cannot even begin to guess who she is.

I started my shopping for my S.S. There's a few more things I am going to get then get it ready ti ship out. I have enjoyed this and hope it will continue. When does the reveal happen?

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
I have been buying some things along the year to send for Christmas. I have been praying for my sister as that to me is the most important thing to me. :)

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
I got my Christmas gifts from my Secret Sister. She really outdid herself. Lots of nice things in a pretty stocking. I know who she is, but am not revealing her name yet.
I have a few things to get for my SS and will be sending it soon.

Rhoni 12-07-2009 12:51 PM

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
I have received many sweet and wonderful things through this year - my last thing was a Thanksgiving card with lots of chocolate...My SS know how to get right to my heart! I truly have no idea who she is as every gift has come from a different part of the U.S....LOL! Thanks SIS.

I am still working on a 'revealing gift' for Christmas to send to my SS. She is such a sweetie!

jdm05 12-08-2009 12:32 PM

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
I need to buy a couple more things for my SS. It's fun to shop for her!!!

jdm05 12-14-2009 08:24 PM

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
Finished shopping!!!!!!!!!

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
I'm in Amish country looking for a gift for my SS that will fit in my full suitcase. :)

Esther 12-17-2009 08:33 PM

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
Just got home for PA and my gift from my SS was here.:gift

She make me a beautiful scarf that I could have really used this past week in Philadephia. She made in my favorite color green. :christmasjig

She also sent me a box of Eggnogg'n tea and a box of Ginger Snappish tea with lemon. I have never had either one, so I will give them a try. :santathumb

And that's not all! She also gave me a beautiful velvet green bag of Yankee candles.:christmasfire

And there is still more...two bookmarks with my initials on them. :horn

And then she topped it off with a beautiful Hallmark Christmas card.

Thanks you secret sister from Stockton, whoever you are. They are much appreciated and your prayers are the MOST appreciated.:christmaskiss

I have been a horrible Secret Sis these last several months. Do you suppose it would be ok to send her Christmas gift well after Christmas - like after my foot heals enough to get the cast off? That could be February!

yes, but I would let her know it is coming.

Esther 12-22-2009 04:23 AM

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
Ok this is the week of Christmas time to annity up with who is whose Secret Sister.

I have been trying to guess who mine is. I think she is from Ca. based on where the package was mailed from, Stockton to be exact.

Not knowing who all partcipated in this fun event, I will be shooting in the dark.

So does anyone have a clue who she might me?

Trouvere 12-22-2009 08:40 AM

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
Hey I bought my secret sisters gift online and had it mailed with my correct name.
This will be the "Revealing." I had a lot of fun doing this. I only hate that when you
buy something online you don't get to view it first but I wanted it to be nice and
make sure she gets it on time since I am on my way to Mexico day after Christmas
and making it to the local post office is out of the question.
Who ever my secret sister was I want to say I appreciated all the nice things
you sent me. You were a blessing.
In Jesus,
Dana

Sherri, I was thrilled to have you as my SS! You wanted to keep me on my knees with all your travels. :)

I wish I could have done more, but found myself totally immersed in church work and time began to slip away.

I took a page out of my SS gift and sent you a subscription to Woman's Day magazine, which I have really enjoyed. It reminded me of her every month. :)

It was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to get things to you. As soon as we started you had a birthday and I was hoping they would not mess up and let you know who sent the gift.:gift

Thank you Tamor for being the go between!:santathumb

I would have done more but felt bad to keep asking Tamor to get things for me. She was a real trooper.


Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful gifts. I really enjoyed the Woman's Day magazine and will always cherish the handmade scarf. :santathumb

But most of all I cherished your prayers. :christmasjig

Re: Secret Sister 2009
 
I sent my SS a Christmas present but am going to send her a revealing gift in a couple weeks. If she knows who I am...please stand up! :) I have no clue who mine is...so you can tell me. I appreciate all the gifts, chocolate, but most especially the prayers.

Love & Blessings, Rhoni

LOL, I had no clue!!! Thank you so much!!! Funny thing is that this morning I was reading one of your posts, I noticed the scriptures you have on your signature from the book of Jeremiah. In one of the books you blessed me with you wrote Jeremiah 29:11. Caught my attention and told my mom. Not knowing you were my S.S. Again, thank you for all the lovely gifts and cards. I love cards!!! LOL!!! God bless you!!!

You are more than welcome. I have prayed so much for you. I have some older books that I read years ago by some of the authors you like but I didn't want to send you used books.:jolly

You were such fun and I am glad you enjoyed the cards.

Be Blessed,

Dear Rhonda,
I prayed for you all year. I am hoping that in the coming year the changes that are headed your way move you into the place in Jesus you have always dreamed of possessing. I have been in several countries and states this year and packed some of your gifts along with me. Did you wonder when one came with a prison address??? haha.... I worked as a nurse at a prison for a
while earlier in 2009. That was the one I really laughed about. I am glad you liked the music box and that it arrived safely. I bought it online while I was traveling to be on a radio program in Alabama. My only desire is that I would have liked another secret year to buy you things and pray for you. I secret surprises.lol....In Jesus Dana
